I sneakily turned my head to glance at him, only to find myself staring straight into his deep eyes.
Then I heard him laugh out loud.
He figured it out!!
I felt like my face was about to burst into flames.
Why is your face so red?”
He knew very well why.
I turned my head away, showing him the back of my head in protest.
After a while, I heard him say, “Alright, don’t be mad. I’ll kiss you when we stop the car.”

My eyes suddenly widened. What kind of thing was he saying?
“That’s not what I meant!”
I turned to glare at him, only to see his grin stretching from ear to ear.
He was teasing me again. How annoying.
He pinched my cheek. “I’m done teasing you. Let’s get out, I’ll treat you to dinner.”
Just as he was about to open the door, I quickly grabbed his face and pulled him towards me, planting a firm kiss on his cheek.
After the sneak attack, my own heart started racing uncontrollably.
Taking advantage of his stunned state, I quickly said “I’ll get out first” and ran off.
I was afraid of getting caught and having my plan backfire. But I also knew I could run from the immediate situation, but not forever.
After all, it’s not like we’d never see each other again.
But… whatever. I got my revenge for now.
I looked up to survey my surroundings. Luckily there was only one building nearby, otherwise I wouldn’t have known where to go.
Before I could walk over, I felt a hand grip the back of my neck.
“You think you can kiss me and run?” The man’s voice was low and husky, his lips right next to my ear, his breath tickling me.
A tingling sensation suddenly spread throughout my body.
“I…” I shrank back a bit, wanting to retreat and put some distance bet en us.
But as soon as I moved, he gripped me even tighter.
“You what?…” He was about to lean in closer to speak when he saw someone walking towards us.
He gave my neck a squeeze and said in a low voice, “I’ll settle the score with you later.”
Then he let go of me and looked up at the approaching person.
“I saw you from far away. What are you doing standing around out here? Feeding the mosquitoes? Come on in, we’ve been waiting for you.” The man tilted his head and stood on tiptoe to look at me.
“Hello, I’m Lily Evans.”
“Hi there, I’m Henry Shaw. You can call me Henry.”
After greeting me, Henry turned to Lucas and said with a wink, “I didn’t expect you to bring such a beautiful woman without saying anything. We thought you were single – Charles was going to set you up with someone.”
“No need. He can keep that for himself. You can call her sister–in–law.” Lucas said this without looking at Henry’s reaction, then took my hand and walked away.
I tried to pull my hand away a bit. Who said he could hold my hand? And so tightly too.
But the corners of my mouth had already turned up in a smile, and my eyes glaring at him were full of laughter.
For some reason, being with him always gave me a strange sense of unfamiliar familiarity….

After a quick check, I found myself completely naked….!!
I covered my mouth, trembling. My brain felt oxygen–deprived and I couldn’t breathe.
I can’t believe I dared to hook up with the boss!!
People weren’t lying when they said alcohol and lust lead to trouble.
So many people in the company wanted him but didn’t dare make a move, and I actually….
Run!
I need to run away!
My mind went blank except for that one thought.
I saw our clothes scattered messily on the floor. I planned to get out of bed, put on my clothes, and run.
I carefully inched from the head of the bed to the foot, about to put my feet on the ground.
Then I heard a deep voice from above me.
“Where are you going?”
At that moment, my mind crashed, going completely blank.
But for some reason, a guilty feeling started bubbling up from deep inside.
Because I had no idea what happened last night…
I was afraid that I had taken advantage of my boss, since I had planned to get drunk and have a one–night stand…
But this was my boss! The object of so many people’s fantasies!
A lazy voice came from his lips, “Do you remember what happened last night?”
I lifted my head slightly, too guilty to turn and look at him. From the corner of my eye, I saw him sit up against the headboard, broad shoulders tapering to a narrow waist, defined abs, clear muscle definition…
To be honest, seeing his physique, I felt like I had hit the jackpot last night. But since I couldn’t remember anything that happened, I also felt like I had lost big time.
My feelings were suddenly very complicated…
“I… I don’t remember,” I said weakly. “But I won’t tell anyone about last night!”
