Chapter 223
When Ryan saw the files on the table, he already knew that George had been here.
Ryan loosened his tie and sat on the armrest of the single couch as he watched Audrey approach him.
After unbuttoning the top button of his shirt, he grabbed Audrey’s wrist and pulled her closer to him. He
then unbuttoned her suit, which belonged to Matteo and threw it aside with disgust.
“Do you know that pictures of you and Matteo have gone viral?” Ryan asked.
Audrey looked puzzled and reached for her phone, but Ryan stopped her. “I’ve already had the
trending topic taken down.”
The image of Matteo cutting steak for Audrey and then escorting her to the car after they left the fancy
restaurant irritated Ryan.
Ryan’s voice was gentle as he asked, “He cut steak for you and even helped you put on your coat.
Even if you’re friends, isn’t that crossing the line?”
“These past few years, Matteo has been researching brain interfaces, hasn’t he? He asked me about it
during an exchange meeting in Slovomia a few years ago. This time, he was so attentive during dinner
because he wanted to invite me to join his team.”
Audrey looked at Ryan and realized that he was jealous. Still, she hid her smile and didn’t
call him out on it.
“So, is that why you allowed him to cross the line or do you have some other intentions with him? If
you’re considering a future with him, I wouldn’t rmend it.
“You might as well go with Mr. Lambert Senior’s rmendation for Samuel.” Ryan’s dark eyes
behind his sses made it hard to discern his expression.
Audrey was taken aback. “Do you want me to choose Samuel?”
Ryan held the back of her head with one hand and wrapped the other around her waist. He then pulled
her into his arms, and his tone was possessive as he said, “I want you to choose me.”
Audrey’s handbag dropped as she ced her hands on Ryan’s chest. Her heart raced uncontrobly
once again. Her gaze involuntarily fell on Ryan’s lips, which were dangerously close.

Just as she was about to speak, she was tenderly kissed by Ryan’s scorching lips.

He kissed Audrey as he stood up.
“Mmm…
“Audrey moaned.
Her steps faltered as Ryan’s kiss made her retreat. Soon, she was pushed back against the dining
table behind her.
Her long skirt was pushed up, and Ryan gripped her legs, pulling her toward him. Their bodies were
pressed tightly together.
Despite Ryan kissing her more gently than ever, Audrey couldn’t help but tremble.
As Audrey wrapped her arms around Ryan’s neck and responded to the kiss, Ryan, who had always
been calm, grabbed the back of her head and kissed her almost frantically.
His kisses grew deeper and more forceful as he pressed her slender, soft waist against him.
It wasn’t until Audrey was about to suffocate that Ryan finally released her lips.
His breathing was heavy as he gently brushed his fingertips over her lipstick–stained lips. His voice
was hoarse as he said, “There are only a few days left until Mr. Lambert Senior’s banquet. I’ll patiently
await your answer.
Ryan took off his tie from the stiff cor of his shirt and wound it around his palm. “I’m going to take a
shower.”
As Audrey watched Ryan’s back as he picked up his suit and headed to the guest room, she struggled
to calm her racing heart as she got off the dining table. She felt embarrassed and bit her lip.
She came to feel because of Ryan’s kiss, only to realize that he had no intention of continuing.
It was so embarrassing! How did she be so lustful and unrestrained?
Back when she and Nathan were together, Nathan had asked to have sexual intimacy with her
countless times, but she couldn’t get past the obstacles in her mind.
But now, she was easily seduced by Ryan.
Their first time together had been because of the effects of drugs. But what about the many
times after that?
