Chapter 487


    Michael sounded so arrogant that Nichs frowned and became more aloof.


    “Mr. Shaw, you are now acting with such unyielding tenacity like the forces of nature, which is more


    suited to doing business in the corporate arena.”


    Nichs looked at Michael with a dark expression as he spoke those words.


    “Doing business in the corporate world requires one''s ownpetence and ability. If anyone tries to


    achieve something by using a woman, it only shows ipetence.”


    Although Michael did not say it directly, he was implying that Nichs wanted to see me in order to get


    some information that would give him some advantage.


    Unsure if that was the case, I turned toward Nichs. From the expression in his eyes which he could


    not hold back, I realized that Michael was right. Initially, I had felt guilty when Nichs told me he only


    wished to talk like old friends. Now that Michael had exposed his intentions of trying to use me to get


    information, immediately what little fondness I had for him was gone.


    “Let''s go, Michael. I''m tired and I need to rest.”


    After knowing what Nichs'' intentions were, I did not want to waste any more time. Holding Michael''s


    arm, I just wanted to leave.


    That was just the way I was. I hated to be used. I never thought Nichs would use me but I had


    overestimated myself.


    “Yeah, go home and sleep well.”

    Upon hearing my words, Michael turned around and looked at me with a tender and adoring gaze.


    Michael''s love for me had always been unconditional. Perhaps we hade together motivated by the


    same objectives which were mutually beneficial. However, I discoveredter that he treated me well


    without expecting anything in return.


    Perhaps, Nichs really liked me but his fondness was not as deep as Michael''s. His kindness to me


    was associated with getting something in return which was the reason why I did not want any


    entanglement with him.


    Michael sounded so arrogant that Nichs frowned and became more aloof.


    Without ncing at Nichs again, I left with Michael holding me by the waist.


    Once home, I checked on Amaury. Seeing that he was already asleep, I went to the bathroom to


    shower.


    Even though it was just a birthday party, I felt really exhausted. Aftering out of the bathroom, I got


    into bed straightaway just wanting to lie still.


    Michael stood up and looked down at me. Then, without a word, he went into the bathroom.


    Perhaps I was too tired, I drifted off to sleep quickly. I did not know when Michael came out of the


    bathroom but I was awakened by his caresses. His huge hand was exploring my back amorously.


    I was already exhausted and so I was quite irritable when he provoked me that way. pping his hand


    away, I tried to go back to sleep.


    However, he had no intention of letting me off. After being quiet for a few seconds, his hand was on my


    back, exploring again.


    “Michael, that''s enough! Go to sleep!”


    Having been abroad for the past year, I had learned quite a few skills in the corporate arena. To me, the


    most important skill I learned was to control my temper. At the instant when I was most exhausted, I


    really wanted to kick him out of the bed.


    “Isn''t it a bit early to sleep? Don''t you remember that at the party, I said I would settle scores with you


    tonight? You would be getting off too easily if I let you sleep now.”


    His voice came from behind me, sexy and low. Then he bent close to my ear, sounding amorous.


    My neck felt ticklish and I certainly knew what his intentions were. I was quite awed by his libido. We


    have been busy the whole day and I''m so tired but he was still in the mood for that. In fact, I am


    amazed by his stamina in bed.


    “I''m really tired today. Can we do it tomorrow?”
