Chapter 137 Fallen in love with him
After returning to her own office and setting down the documents, Winnie took advantage of the empty floor while the secretaries were away for lunch.
She swiftly slipped into the CEO office. She cautiously peered around, causing the man behind the desk to purse his lips and teasingly respond,
"Mrs. L, everyone in the company knows you are my temporary wife. They may not know we're actually in a real relationship, but you don't have to hide it."
"Otherwise, they might think I've invited you here at lunchtime for some private time in the lounge."
Winnie's face... blushed bright red at his words.
"."
Especially while Luke was still in the office smiling at the CEO’s comments.
Winnie glared at the man asking. "Then why did you call me here?"
"No information about you is revealed, and there is no nameplate on your office door. Did you tamper with it?" L leaned back on the sofa, looking at her without responding.
The way the man controlled everything made Winnie feel a little annoyed. She frowned and looked at him closely. "Are you still not planning to confess your identity to me?" Winnie was curious.
It never occurred to Winnie that he also wore a mask at the company. Of course, the employees wouldn't dare to gossip about him—that was only natural. After all, he was the CEO.
But Winnie wondered if he had also worn a mask in the past. When she thought about the people close to him, it didn't seem strange that he wore a mask.
While Winnie was speculating, the man pulled her over, and she accidentally fell onto his strong thighs.
The man lowered his head and gazed at her. "Curious again?"
"Yes, although you said at Hot Spring Resort for me to experience you as a person and that your identity doesn't matter, I can't remain curious forever. I still want to know who you are," she said.
"Do you want to know? According to our agreement, have you fallen in love with me?" L moved closer to her ear, his deep voice emitting a seductive charm.
Caught off guard by this sudden question, Winnie looked into his dark eyes, and her heart started pounding wildly.
"Your heartbeat is fast, so... have you fallen in love with me?" His hand grasped her waist, moving higher to feel her heartbeat.
"No, not yet. But almost!" Winnie blushed and immediately denied it. She needed to carefully consider this question. How could she easily give away her heart?
The man's lips curved into a smile as if he had seen through her. He pinched her chin and kissed her forcefully, teasing, "If you haven't fallen in love, then I can't tell you who I am. But Mrs. L can truly experience me."
Winnie was about to ask why she had to fall in love with him to know who he was, but she was quickly overwhelmed by the kiss. As the long kiss ended, she tried to get off him, feeling weak.
Unexpectedly, the man handed her a document and lazily leaned back on the sofa, crossing his arms behind him. "Continue reading. Your afternoon work time belongs to me now."
"You're abusing your power," Winnie said, irritated.
He wiped away the slight swelling on her lips and a touch of weariness appeared in his eyes. "Read, Mrs. L. I need to rest."
Winnie suddenly realized how intense his work was. When he mentioned that he had built his empire from scratch and that this was just one of his companies, it was evident how difficult it was for him.
Her heart softened, and she couldn't help but gently squeeze his hand to comfort him. "L, regardless of who you are, after entering your life and your company, I will do my best to help you. You won't have to fight alone and exhaust yourself anymore..."
His family seemed to oppress him greatly.
At this moment, the man opened his eyes, emitting a cold and fiery temperature like flowing ink. He held her hand firmly and held her in his arms. His thin lips were incredibly low and deep as he spoke. "Mrs. L, you must remember the promise you made today."
"No matter what happens, you can't abandon me, or you won't be able to predict your own outcome and I won’t be able to protect you!" That paranoid coldness had resurfaced.
Winnie felt slightly scared as she heard him whisper deeply, "I brought you into the company not to exploit you, but to protect you. From now on, besides my mother, there's one more person I want to protect, and that's you."
Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and many emotions surged within her. He said he wanted to protect her...
But the man quickly regained his composure. Accustomed to being reserved, he coughed lightly and flicked her nose, "Do you have to keep holding onto me to continue our relationship? Focus on your work!"
Winnie blushed and buried her touched feelings inside her heart. She immediately reached for the files, highlighting the key points and reading them for him.
As a result, he significantly sped up his review of the documents. He left the company in the afternoon due to some urgent matters.
Only then did Winnie realize with a dazed feeling that he had entrusted her with the core documents of the Kingdom Estates. Did this mean he completely trusted her? There seemed to be a hint of sweetness in her heart.
At that moment, Winnie's phone rang. Triton's manager called, saying that Leonard Eudora had arrived at Triton Company.
Winnie quickly returned to the Vice President's office, packed her things, and instructed Milly that she would be away for the afternoon due to personal matters.
-
In the conference room on the ground floor of Triton Company. Eudora and Leonard sat inside, and Winnie entered with a project proposal in hand. She intentionally left the conference room door open.
Leonard's face had a playful expression, while Eudora looked at Winnie suspiciously, "I heard that Triton dismissed Daniel, and you gave him 2 billion dollars in cash. He's not doing well in the Davis family these days. Now that you have complete control over Triton, you came to our company for cooperation. So, do you want to drive Daniel to his death?"
As she spoke, Eudora even laughed. It served Leonard and her interests for Winnie to support him.
Winnie remained calm, pushing forward a project proposal, "Yes, I want to push him. If you're interested in this jewelry store project, take a look..."
Just as she was speaking, someone slammed the office door. "Winnie!" Daniel rushed in, his face pale. His eyes looked anxious, and his hair was disheveled.
Clearly, he had heard the news and rushed to Triton right away. This is what Winnie was counting on.
