Chapter 581 Decline
"It's okay, Chief."
Audrey smiled slightly, gracefully stood up, revealing her graceful figure. Today, she was wearing a white t-shirt and jeans. Under the thin t-shirt, her ample bosom stood tall, while her long and shapely thighs were accentuated by the jeans, making one want to peel off her clothes and fully enjoy her enticing figure.
Angus also found himself admiring her, feeling a bit heated. Although Audrey was from the North, she had the delicate features typical of Southern women, combined with the curvaceous and tall figure of Northern women, impeccable in every aspect. However, the fact that such a beautiful woman lived apart from her husband made one feel a sense of pity.
Of course, Angus, mindful of his status, couldn't ogle at Audrey's bosom like other men. He quickly averted his gaze, but his desire for Audrey only grew more urgent.
Audrey and Angus walked out of the restaurant, where a black Audi was quietly parked not far from the entrance. Angus opened the passenger door, and after a moment of hesitation, Audrey got in and fastened her seatbelt. However, her full chest made the seatbelt press between her erect breasts, making them appear even more prominent and alluring.
Angus glanced but quickly looked away, stepping on the gas pedal to drive away from the restaurant. The atmosphere inside the car became somewhat heavy. Audrey noticed Angus's occasional glances at her, feeling a bit nervous. Although she knew someone like Angus wouldn't do anything to her, being in such close proximity to a mature man was quite pressuring for her. She instinctively brought up a topic, saying, "Chief, were you close to Kevin's father, Scott, before?"
Upon hearing Audrey's question, Angus showed a touch of sadness and said, "Yes, at that time, I was also working in the government and was Scott's colleague in the office. We often discussed work and learning together. People back then were not as restless as they are now, focused on career advancement and wealth. We genuinely wanted to build something good. No one cared about personal gains or losses. Scott was very capable and had great ideas. The county leaders held him in high regard and were planning to promote him to a leadership position. If it weren't for him getting into a car accident while on a business trip for me, perhaps his achievements would have been greater than mine. Maybe he would have already been a senior official."
"I see."
Audrey also felt a sense of lament. Life is truly unpredictable. If Scott hadn't passed away, her aunt and cousin's lives might have been different, not struggling as they were now.
"Over the years, I've wanted to take care of Scott's wife and child, but Kevin's mother is a very strong-willed woman who never accepts my goodwill," Angus sighed. "I wanted to bring them to the city to take care of them, so I could also honor Scott's memory. But even Kevin doesn't want to go to the city for school. The mother and son are just too stubborn."
Thinking of Kevin, Audrey acknowledged that he could be quite stubborn at times. She had repeatedly emphasized to him that she couldn't accept him, but he persisted, showing deep affection towards her. If it weren't for his genuine feelings and being her cousin, Audrey would have cut him off long ago.
Recalling Kevin's intimate phone call the other night, Audrey felt a bit shy. She was becoming more lenient towards Kevin, continuously lowering her boundaries. This time it was phone sex, what about the next time? How long could she hold out?
"Mrs. Johnson, you're Kevin's cousin. When you go back, you can advise him well," Angus said with emphasis. "This matter concerns his future and should not be taken lightly. The conditions in the city are better than in the county after all."
"I understand, Chief. I will talk to him," Audrey nodded, somewhat helplessly. "But he may not listen to me. Nowadays, students have their own ideas and won't blindly follow adults."
"Yes, each generation has its own thoughts," Angus said with a smile. "But I see that Kevin has a good relationship with you, his cousin. He will listen to what you say."
Audrey glanced nervously at Angus, worried that he might see through something, especially since her relationship with Kevin was not something to be seen in the light.
Soon, Angus drove Audrey to the entrance of the college. Initially, Angus wanted to drive to the female teacher's dormitory, but Audrey refused. The school was crowded, and she didn't want others to see that Angus had driven her back.
Watching Audrey's tall and curvaceous figure walk into the college gates, Angus didn't rush to leave. Instead, he lit a cigarette and smoked slowly. It had been years since he had felt this kind of anticipation. In middle age, in a high position, he had become indifferent to the ups and downs of the world. He no longer easily fell for a woman, even if she was beautiful.
Audrey was indeed a beautiful woman, especially with her prominent figure. Her pair of proudly standing exquisite breasts could arouse a man's desire to conquer. However, what made Angus interested in Audrey was her rare sense of pride, not easily bowing to reality, indifferent to fame and fortune, working diligently as an ordinary high school teacher. It reminded Angus of his time in the ancient government, free from anxiety, full of passion, treating work as a career. Now, as his rank grew, that initial passion had faded.
Over the years, he had considered finding a partner again, but those women were filled with naked ambition, which Angus saw through at a glance, having no intention of furthering the relationship. However, upon seeing Audrey for the first time, he felt that she matched his taste.
Unfortunately, Audrey was already married, only for three or four years. Although her husband was always absent, they still had feelings for each other. Angus couldn't force Audrey to divorce her husband, as that would make him a tyrant who bullied men and women. Angus couldn't stoop to such a low level. He considered himself a principled person, not capable of such despicable acts.
