Chapter 448 Ambiguous Posture
Gregory's gaze landed on Abigail's lips, delicate and rosy like flower petals, and his heart softened as if struck by a heavy blow.
When Abigail made a slight move to step back, Gregory instinctively wrapped his arm around her slim waist, pulling her back into his embrace.
His kisses descended like a storm, completely engulfing Abigail, flooding her senses with his intense masculinity and overwhelming pheromones.
Abigail's cheeks flushed instantly, her heart racing uncontrollably, each beat echoing in her ears.
The DM employees nearby, who had been chatting animatedly, turned their heads and caught sight of the scene.
Their eyes widened in surprise as they quickly covered their mouths to stifle their excitement.
When the kiss finally ended, Abigail's long lashes fluttered open slowly, and she became acutely aware that something felt off.
Turning her head slightly, she realized the previously noisy atmosphere had fallen silent.
All eyes were now on them, filled with curiosity, admiration, and even a hint of envy.
Abigail's breath hitched as she buried her face in Gregory's neck, trying to hide her embarrassment.
At the same time, she discreetly pinched his waist where no one could see, causing Gregory to grunt in slight pain.
He glanced coldly at the employees, his sharp gaze enough to send chills down their spines.
Although Gregory said nothing, the warning in his expression was crystal clear.
Those eager to watch quickly shrank back to their places, not daring to linger. Gregory's icy stare could freeze fire, making them fear he was about to kick them out.
Satisfied with their retreat, Gregory turned his focus back to Abigail, his previously icy eyes softening instantly.''It's okay now,'' he whispered reassuringly.
But Abigail stayed still, clearly wanting to disappear on the spot. Her dignity as the president felt completely crushed.
How was she supposed to face her team after this?
Meanwhile, Gregory remained completely unfazed, his calm demeanor only adding to Abigail's frustration.
The blush on Abigail's cheeks stayed with her all the way until they landed.
To ensure everyone was well-prepared for the competition, Abigail had arranged accommodations at a luxurious five-star hotel.
Every employee had their own spacious room, complete with elegant furnishings and top-tier amenities.
The hotel even included an exclusive buffet service.
The moment they arrived at the hotel lobby, the employees couldn't contain their excitement.
"I've heard of this hotel before—it's a high-end resort! A night here costs thousands!"
"I read that they have a private hot spring. I can't wait to try it!"
"The food here is supposed to be amazing, but I never thought I'd actually get to try it myself."
''Mrs. White is too kind! I don't even feel worthy of being here!''
Hearing their chatter, Abigail smiled warmly. ''Get some rest and stay focused for the competition tomorrow. Give it your best effort; I believe in you all.''
Her encouraging words struck a chord with everyone, and they nodded in unison. ''We will, Mrs. White! Thank you for everything!''
Abigail's eyes sparkled with pride as she watched them disperse.
Once in her room, Abigail collapsed onto the plush bed, exhausted from the journey and preparations.
Gregory, meanwhile, began unpacking, neatly arranging their belongings with practiced ease.
Every now and then, his gaze would drift to Abigail, his eyes soft and affectionate.
After a few moments of rest, Abigail opened her eyes and called out, ''Gregory.''
Gregory glanced at her, his lips curving into a gentle smile. ''Yes?''
Abigail rolled onto her side, moving closer to him. ''After the competition, let's stay for a few extra days. I heard there are beautiful spots for couples to explore here.''
Gregory didn't hesitate. ''Of course. Anywhere you want to go, I'll go with you.''
This trip was all about supporting Abigail, and he intended to make the most of it.
Hearing his easy agreement, Abigail's lips curled into a sweet smile. ''Gregory, you're amazing.''
Gregory chuckled lightly. ''As long as you know.''
The next day's competition started at ten in the morning.
Abigail got up early, or rather, was woken up by Gregory.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes, snuggling into Gregory's arms, whining, clearly wanting to stay in bed.
Gregory was used to her reluctance to get up, so he picked her up and carried her into the bathroom.
Abigail rested her chin on Gregory's shoulder, her legs tightly wrapped around his strong waist. Gregory, holding her like a child, placed her on the sink.
But Abigail didn't let go immediately.
Gregory had to maintain a bent posture, one hand around her slender waist and the other on the sink, looking dominant and aggressive.
Abigail, on the other hand, looked innocent.
Gregory couldn't resist and leaned in to kiss her, deepening the kiss in their intimate position.
Abigail went weak from the kiss, her back pressing against the mirror.
The cold touch of the mirror made her shiver slightly, her almond eyes misty and filled with uncontrollable allure.
