    His words brought her back to the night before.


    She pretended not to have heard it, but the man watched her intensely.


    “Not saying anything?” Cedrick observed her reactions and deliberately said very slowly. She did not


    want to say anything because she did not want to think about it. Why was this man so shamelessly


    bugging her about that?


    “No!” Catelyn’s ears were red, and she finally spitted out one word.


    “If it is no longer hurting, why were your legs shaking when you got out of the car this morning?” Cedrick


    enjoyed teasing her, hunched forward, and nted a gentle kiss on her


    soft lips.


    The familiar scent of after-shave filled her nostrils again, and Catelyn took one step back. However, the


    desk was behind her, and she had nowhere to hide. She could only lean backward. Catelyn’s body was


    flexible. Her body was half bent, and her hands were on his chest, resisting him.


    “I just slipped this morning! Let me go. This is the office, and there are surveince cameras


    around…”


    Catelyn was a little nervous but thrilled at the same time.


    “The security system is going through maintenance and upgrade. The surveince cameras are off now.”


    Catelyn looked at the handsome face before her nervously, and hershes were trembling. Her fists that


    were pushing against him were also let loose, turning into a gentle grab on his cor. However, when she


    closed her eyes, and his kiss was about tond on her…


    Snap!


    The office was pitch ck.


    A few light rays shone through the window, and Catelyn pushed him away. “Office is where you work.


    You should be more serious as the CEO.”


    Behind Cedrick was a chair. He was caught off guard and knocked onto the chair, making a loud thud.


    The chair then fell to the ground and made a loud noise uponnding on the ground.


    The lovey-dovey atmosphere vanished all at once and was reced with Cedrick’s dangerous


    aura.


    Catelyn could only imagine how bad he looked in this pitch ckness.


    “Cedrick, are you okay?” Catelyn felt around, wanting to pick him up.


    Not sure if he got injured?


    Silence answered her. After a while, Cedrick said rhetorically, “Why don’t you fall and find out?


    Catelyn was not sure if he was unhappy that she interjected him or that she pushed him onto


    the chair.


    She took out her phone from her bag, and with the aid of the light from her screen, she could see


    Cedrick standing about one meter away from her, looking at her sharply. His gaze was piercing like a


    hawk in the night sky as though he had managed to catch his prey. Catelyn was a little nervous and


    immediately diverted the conversation.


    “You were saying that the security systems are going through an update? Is the ckout happening


    because of that?”

    Cedrick’s brows were furrowed but then smoothed out shortly after.


    His necktie was messy too. He looked flustered, which was a total contrast to his usual elegant and


    graceful self.


    “The Administrative Department had sent out a memo to everyone. Did you not receive it?”


    Catelyn’s heart sank a little.


    She did not arrive early at the office today, but she was definitely notte either. She should have already


    received the memo if there was one.


    She shook her head in all honesty. “No one told me that the security systems are going through an


    upgrade tonight, and I did not know that there would be a ckout.”
