Chapter 228


    “The cherry mousse cake you madest time was also delicious–it tastes smooth and creamy, sweet


    but not overpowering! Huh? You’re not having any yourself?”


    “No.”


    Orion shook his head, his gaze fixed on her intently.


    He wanted to have her.


    Cedric had mentioned that Orion wasn’t much for sweet food. Then was this all specially made for her?


    Xanthea bit her fork, suddenly feeling the cake in her mouth taste even sweeter. She raised an


    eyebrow slightly and asked him, “Orion, did you make all of these yourself?”


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “Yep.”


    “Ah, the CEO of Lockwood Group seems to have loads of spare time? You even had the time to bake


    during office hours.”


    “I’m not really spare.* Orion chuckled lightly, “I’ve been working on something significanttely.”


    “Something significant? What’s that?”


    Xanthea’s interest piqued.


    A significant lifelongmitment.


    Orion teased, “Ms. Nightshade, are you inquiring about the corporate secrets?”


    “Psh.


    Displeased with his secretive demeanor, Xanthea pouted, “What if I was inquiring? I wouldn’t


    understand those things anyway. Are you worried I might spill the beans?”


    “No, not at all.”


    “Then what is it? With our rtionship, don’t you trust me?”


    “It’s a matter of principle.”


    “What principle?”


    Orion looked at her slowly, stating, “It involves business confidentiality, so I can only share it with the


    CEO’s wife.”


    At the mention of “CEO’s wife,” Xanthea’s expression froze, her eyes stopped moving.


    She shouldn’t have asked, why did she do that?


    Orion’s lips curved slightly, “Xan still wants to know?”


    Driven by his words, Xanthea’s hand trembling as she brought the cake to her lips, smearing a bit of


    the white cream on her red lips.


    He said he would only tell his wife, so why did he ask her?


    Orion watched the trembling dollop of cream on her soft lips, his pupils dted slightly. He reached out


    gently to wipe it off and then ced it into his mouth.


    “21”


    Xanthea, shocked, almost fell off her chair.


    He, he just put the cream off her lips into his mouth?! That was almost like an indirect kiss…


    “It’s sweet.”


    Having tasted the cream, Orion looked at her, his eyes captivating and seductive. For a moment, a bold


    thought shed through Xanthea’s mind–she wanted to kiss him!


    In a second, her face blushed, and she stood up in a panic, “I have to go shooting now! Bye!”


    She turned to run, but was forcefully caught by the man from behind.


    “The director mentioned you did well today.”


    Orion stood up, leaning down close to her ear. His voice was low and maic, utterly bewitching, “I’ll


    be waiting in the room tonight, we can continue.”


    Ahhhhhh!


    Xanthea’s mind exploded, a blush spreading from her cheeks to her ears and neck, her entire being felt


    ame.


    Stop tempting her, she was barely holding on!

    She broke free and ran without looking back.


    “Ms. Nightshade?”


    Outside, Cedric, having just distributed afternoon snacks to the crew, was about to enter the dressing


    room when he saw Xanthea running out like a shot.


    Curiously, he peered inside, only to see the CEO with a smitten, irresistibly handsome smile.
