Lexi gazed at Callum’s stern face, a sense of trepidation crept into her heart. Was he warning her?
Upon returning to the castle, Callum scooped Lexi into his arms and headed straight upstairs. Rita,
their housekeeper, rushed over Thank heavens, Ms. Lexi is safe and sound!”
Callum instructed Rita, “Prepare a warm bath. We need to clean her up.”
“I can I can do it myself Lexi’s protest was cut short by Callum’s fierce gaze
Rita quickly filled the tub and discreetly exited the room
As the bathroom warmed, Callum gently undressed Lex, removing her mucky clothes
“Callum can do it myself. Lexi stuttered, hoping to dissuade Callum from bathing her
Callum shot her a look “Quiet! If you have enough energy to bathe yourself then you’re not scared
enough!
Lexo shrunk back afraid he would punish her. She lowered her head, not daring to speak further
Callum undressed Lex with the utmost care, treating her as if she were the most precious porcin that
couldn’t bear a scratch
Lex felt her clothes being removed, and the cool air caused her to tremble slightly But that was nothing
compared to the heat on her face. She wished she could disappear into the floorboards
“I can do it Before she could finish her sentence, Callum had lifted her into his arms and gently ced
her in the tub
Lex stopped resisting She stared at Callum’s handsome face and quietly closed her eyes. If he wanted
to bathe her, she’d let him. After all, he had seen and touched her body before
After the bath, Callum wrapped Lex in a towel and ced her on the bed.
“Sleep now Everything is okay, Callum said softly.
Tears welled up in Lexi’s eyes. No matter how she tried to escape, she always ended up in Callum’s
hands. He had saved her life once again
She closed her eyes

Natalia was incredibly busy, a perfect representation of the phrase “burning the candle at both ends”
It was all because of Magnus, that domineering maniac. Ever since he discovered that she had won a
designpetition in Ennd, he had treated her as his personal designer He wanted her to design a

What made her most furious was that he insisted she design the logo in his office, iming it would
help her better understand thepany’s ethos
Wasn’t he just trying to keep her by his side all the time? The man was incredibly clingy
“What a load of crap Natalia thought to herself, itching to punch Magnus, who was constantly touching
her
“Is this your so–calledpany ethos? A culture of sexual indulgence? Natalia asked, struggling to
free her hand from Magnus grip
Magnus just chuckled, unabashed ‘My love, you’re like the brightest star in the night sky, constantly
drawing me in I’m helpless“”
Natalia knew she couldn’t argue with him. She forcefully pushed away Magnus hand, which had
strayed towards her chest, and walked over to the window. “Magnus, remember, this is apany if
your employees see you acting like this, how are you going to maintain your authority? She asked
Magnus followed her, sticking to her like glue They wouldn’tugh if they do, I’ll fire them on the spot.
He twirled a lock of her hair around his finger “You have no idea how much i miss you when you’re not

Natalia poked Magnus, hinting at him to maintain his image She then walked into a small partitioned
room in Magnus office
It’s where Magnus rest. Natalia didn’t want Magnus staff to know she was there, so before she came,
she had agreed with Magnus that if someone came, she would retire to the small room to rest
The room wasn’t as big as the office, but it contained arge,vish bed Magnus certainly lived a
luxurious life, Natalia thought
Natalia decided to lie down and rest for a while She was exhausted from designing all day and soon
drifted off to sleep
On the other hand Magnus was stuck in his office, dealing with the intruder who had interrupted his
intimate moment with Natalia
Come in he said his voice icy
The door to the office opened and Belle, dressed in a professional suit, walked in She handed Magnus
