    “Well, I worked overtime today. There is apetition in ourpany,” she said, letting out a weary


    sigh. J was exhausted, both physically and mentally, so she went straight to her room.

    Ethan’s heart sank as she didn’t bother to even look at him.


    He didn’t wait all night just to hear something like this.


    Ethan wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder. “Spend


    some time with me,” he said, nestling his face in the crook of her neck.


    Ethan wanted to kiss her and make out with her. He couldn’t let his wait end in vain. After all, he was a


    shrewd businessman.


    “It’s alreadyte. Aren’t you sleepy?” His warm, steady breath blowing against her skin made J


    restless. Her heart was crashing in her chest.


    She turned around. Seeing Ethan’s handsome face, J stood on tiptoe and pecked him on the lips.


    A blush painted her cheeks. “Well, I had to submit my designs for thepetition by tomorrow


    morning. Unfortunately, one of my colleagues sshed coffee on myptop. I just don’t have anything


    to submit now because theptop broke down. I’m actually very upset about it. Can we talk tomorrow?”


    Ethan pursed his lips as he thought about it. “Did your colleague ssh coffee on yourptop on


    purpose, or was it an ident?”


    J didn’t want to talk about it. She felt annoyed to even think about Kaya.


    “Her intentions don’t matter to me anymore. I have lost all my drawings, and it sucks. I put a lot of effort


    into it, you know.” J’s shoulders slumped with exhaustion. She had been busy all week designing


    for the project, but a cup of coffee had ruined all her efforts.


    The expression on J’s face answered Ethan’s question.


    “Oh, don’t beat yourself about it. It doesn’t matter if you don’t get selected this time. After all, you had


    just joined thepany.” Ethan rubbed her hairfortingly. Seeing the disappointment on her face,


    he kissed the corner of her lips. “There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.”


    “Hmm.” J nodded. It was Kaya’s arrogance that irked her, and she hated the woman for destroying


    her hard work.


    However, Ethan’s kisses made her forget all about her work problems. She was mesmerized by the


    man, who wrapped her with his love and warmth.


    Ethan pressed her against the wall and kissed her until the two got breathless. “Since you can’t submit


    the design tomorrow, sleep early tonight.”


    J’s lips were numb, and the burning trails of his touches made her dizzy. Ethan somehow managed


    to wake up the wild side of her.


    J went to bed, reying the kisses in her head over and over again.


    The next morning, Kaya went to J’s table with breakfast.


    However, J was still mad at her.


    She scowled at her and looked away.


    “I thought about what happened yesterday again. Sorry I might sound harshst night, but I was simply


    angry and hurt that you misunderstood me. Anyway, I bought you this sandwich and chocte. Let’s


    just forget what happened yesterday, please.”


    Kaya ced an exquisite box of choctes on J’s desk. Although she sounded sincere, the


    comcency in her eyes was unmissable. “This brand is very expensive. I don’t think you’d have


    tasted their choctes before. They are delicious.”


    Although Kaya was smiling at her, J somehow felt the woman was disgusting and hypocritical.


    J put the chocte aside and ignored Kaya.


    Just as she was about to sit down, the lights on the entire floor went off, and darkness engulfed them.


    “Gosh, is it a power outage?” someone eximed.
