    ra regretted it after leaving. Her satisfaction was fleeting, and what should she do after? Waller still had Marlie and could easily keep her from seeing her. She was too impulsive. ra shouldn’t have offended him and provoked Tamara. Anxiety filled her.


    When ra exited the elevator, she ran into Wird in the lobby.


    “Why did youe from there?” Wird pulled ra toward him. “You didn’t answer my calls. I thought you were standing me up. Where did you go?”


    ra shook off Wird, “Why di


    “<b>Why </b>did you <b>ask </b>me toe here?”


    “You think I want to? The project is now assigned to Vernon, Mr. <b>Colon’s </b>assistant. I can <b>only </b>call you here <b>to </b>discuss it,” Wird exined. His eyes lingered on ra. She wasn’t wearing makeup today, butpared to that night, she seemed more beautiful. Her beauty was iparable. Wird had seen many women but never someone like her.


    “Come on. I won’t hold it against you as long as you handle the project well” Wird tried to pull ra close again.


    ra frowned and avoided him. She didn’t know much about Wird before, but she looked him up onler, Although Wird was good–looking and generous, he was notorious for being a yboy. Walter wouldn’t associate with someone like Wird, but they were distant cousins. No wonder Richard had inquired about Wird’s preferences, then had ra dress up for the appointment to secure a big project.


    Alter being rejected repeatedly, Wird’s face turned ugly. “It’s true. You were fooling me that night. But I’m set on you, ra honey. You can’t escape.” He grabbed ra’s wrist. “I’ll have you in my bed.”

    “Isign the contract because of you. Do you think you can back out? You better pay me back.” Wird admired ra up se. He loved seeing women flustered. It called to the hunter’s instincts in him.


    Wird stared at her delicate neck and down to her neckline and cleavage. He swallowed. She was alluring. He itched to take her somewhere private. He should have taken her that night.


    ra could sense Wird’s predatory gaze. She shouted, “Let go now. We’re in public. If you don’t, I’m going to scream.<b>”</b>


    “Go on, I like that. If you want to back out, sleep with me. That’ll make up for my loss.” Wirdughed wickedly, his hand on her waist. Her waist was thin. He could easily wrap his palm around it.


    ra thought she was about to be molested when Wird unexpectedly released her, ra hastily adjusted her cor and smoothed her long hair, not wanting to appear too disheveled.


    When ra turned around, Walter walked out of the elevator. No wonder Wird had stopped.
