Chapter 225
"Emily, I don't want to ask about what happened four years ago. All I want to know is, do we still have a future together?" Jordan's eyes were swimming with emotion as he gently caressed Emily's shoulders.
His hands were warm, setting Emily's heart racing with each touch.
Ever since she had set her sights on the coveted role of Mrs. Winston, she hadn't been involved with any other man. It had been four years since she'd felt that kind of desire.
A man's touch on her shoulder slowly drew out her inner yearnings, bit by bit.
She licked her lips, “Jordan, we can't have a future..."
"I don't ask for forever, just to be with you every day and night,'" Jordan said, his voice tantalizing, "Can I have just one more day and night with you?"
Emily was at her breaking point.
She could hardly wait...
Memories of their tangled past flooded her, and a blush crept across her cheeks...
Jordan chuckled softly, "Emily, I'll love you well, cherish you; don't be afraid..."
His hand, which had been resting on her shoulder, slowly slid down, lightly brushing her chest before settling on her waist.
They swiftly entered the nearest hotel.
...
The car stopped outside the DeRoss house.
Haley got out with her two kids, and bending down at the car window, she softly thanked the driver, “Thank you, Mr. Winston, for the ride home.”
Ivan looked at her, "Got any plans for the afternoon?"
She shook her head, and the man promptly unbuckled his seatbelt, "Good, let's discuss the details of Project A-F."
When it came to work, Haley was impeccably professional.
She nodded, leading Ivan inside the house.
This wasn't Ivan's first visit to the villa. He walked in and made himself comfortable on the couch, as if it were his own home.
Haley took the kids out to the balcony's play mat before beckoning, "Let's talk in the study, Mr. Winston. I have all the project files on my computer there. I can walk you through a virtual intelligent experience."
Ivan nodded and followed her upstairs.
The study on the second floor was decorated simply, clean, and bright, with a computer on the desk and several programming books around.
Haley pulled out a chair, sat down at the desk, and powered on the computer, launching the simulation website.
It was a prototype system she had built; the framework was in place, though it hadn't yet been reviewed by the project team...
There was only one chair in the study. With Haley seated, Ivan naturally stood close by her side.
His arm rested on the desk as he leaned slightly forward, eyes fixed on the simulation system on the screen...
"This new simulation framework I've built uses the latest in coding technology. It's designed around the market's most cutting-edge sports car, which, once outfitted with an intelligent system, is capable of autonomous driving..."
Haley explained with patience, maneuvering the system, when suddenly her computer glitched, the screen flickering incessantly.
A frown creased her brow, "I just assembled this system yesterday..."
Her fingers danced expertly over the keyboard. After a brief flicker, the simulation vanished, replaced by a video she did not expect.
Before Haley could comprehend what was unfolding, sultry moans spilled out from the speakers across the room...
On-screen, a man and woman intertwined, skin bare, in the love of passion on a large bed.
How on earth did her computer get a virus, especially one that pops out adult content at such a critical moment?
Haley frantically hit the power button.
But no matter how hard she pressed, the screen stayed lit and the couple's fervor intensified in the video, their amorous noises turning Haley's face scarlet.
"To what do we owe the pleasure of finding Miss DeRoss indulging in such... refined tastes?"
A deep, raspy voice drifted down from above.
Haley's head snapped up, locking eyes with the man's dark, penetrating gaze.
