Celine instantly blushed.
She tried to stand up but Daniel locked his hand on her hips.
“I wasn’t” she quickly denied heaving deep controlled breaths.
She started with a good intention but she enjoyed feeling his tight muscles she just kept on going.
Is that considered seduction?
“I thought so” Daniel said frankly.
“Because you need to do more than that if you want control me” he raised his eyebrow to challenge her.
“Since you’re not seducing me. My decision stays”
“The secretary stays. You pick internally” Daniel nudged her off his lap she almost fell on the floor.
“What?” her trick didn’t work?
“I’m not repeating myself, C” he said in his reprimanding tone.
Celine could not do anything.
“You’re annoying” she said then left his office.
Since there’s no changing D

Linda needs us” Celine doesn’t understand why he’s not moving.He just kept on heaving deep breaths.“Well, I need you” he blurted out.“What for?” she asked cluelessly.He could only smile at his innocent wife.“Linda” Celine immediately hugged ‘her father’s favourite mistress’.When she saw Brendan Brooks, she let go of Linda and darted towards the man.“You” she started pushing Brendan.“What did you do, huh?

Congratulations!” Daniel shook his friend’s hand again.“We cannot tell anyone yet. Especially not Celine. I’m not sure how she will take it” Brendan reminded him.When both men came out of the study, the ladies were still discussing the wedding.Daniel walked over to Linda’s side and gave her a protective hug.“It’s my turn now. You focus on your family” he whispered to her ears meaningfully.Linda just nodded in agreement.Celine was confused at their action.What are they talking about?“We won’t stay long.

Don’t wait for me’“Hi baby” Minerva attempted to kiss her when she reached their old house but her lips did not touch her cheeks.Nothing has changed, she thought.This is the same woman who had asked her to shower first before kissing her mother because she came from outside and she would dirty her dress.Who would do that to her own child

I kind of like it”Celine looked at him still trying to decide whether to enquire or not.Since he’s in the mood to tease, maybe she could get some gossip tonight.“Okay, fine”“But in case you get together with Tiff, you don’t get to use that, okay?”“You need to choose a new one, babe” she pinched the side of his torso.Daniel looked at her intently.Seriously?Way to ruin the moment.

We’re meeting Linda for lunch” she said as if nothing happened.Tiff shook her head.She could only look at the unaffected woman in front of her.She’s expecting Celine would beg her to keep the affair secret.She even thought she could blackmail Daniel to call off their impending date.“What’s the deal between you and the boss?” Tiff asked as soon as they reached her car.“Are you practicing the ‘jealous wife’ act?” Celine asked back.“No”
