“I never knew about these until a few days ago.” Selena wasn’t sure why she felt the need to explain herself, but she needed Pierre to know that she never intended to betray him.
“I already guessed as much.” He noticed early on that Linda was fishy. Thanks to my incompetent assistant, Niall, he didn’t manage to find out anything. However, on second thought, would it have mattered even if Niall did find out something?
Meanwhile, Selena was staring at his back; it was a familiar sight to behold. There was a time when she used to yearn to spend the rest of her life with the man before her, but alas…
“The moon looks beautiful. Aren’t you going to check it out?” He extended an invitation.
After a moment’s hesitation, she walked up to stand beside him. However, he tugged on her arm, causing her to lose her footing and fall into his embrace. “The view is best over here.” Instead of looking at her, he stared out of the window.
She tried to move, but he clamped her down. “Don’t move. Otherwise, you might hurt me.” Having previously noticed that his leg was injured, she dared not thrash about, but she wondered if it wouldn’t be better for his injury if she was up and away from him. With Selena in Pierre’s arms, they enjoyed the view together just like that, making for an enjoyable moment.
Or so Pierre thought until he lowered his head to look at her. She was only wrapped in a towel, so from his point of view in their current position, he had a full view of her body, which made him gulp. He missed her like crazy when she was away. Never did I expect myself to miss her so much.
Noting his heated gaze, she hurriedly covered her chest, pulling her towel around her tighter.
“Why bother when I’ve already seen it all?” With that, he kissed her on the lips. The familiar taste and touch of her body ignited the flames within him as soon as he laid his hands on her.
Selena melted under his kisses. Longing for him, the pain of missing him was etched deep into her bones, which had resurfaced time and again. “Pierre, don’t be like this!” She tried to push him away. “I have a favor to ask!”
“We’ll talk later.”
“I need your help to find Juniper’s biological father!”
As if having been electrocuted, he halted in his advances before glaring at her menacingly. “Why are you searching for him?” Pierre had beef with the man who took her virginity. Although he cared not if Selena was a virgin, his flames of rage burned ever so ferociously at the thought of the man that had destroyed his beloved woman.
Selena was intimidated by his stern glare. “I—”
“Speak! Why do you seek him?!” There was a fierceness in his tone. In the face of his anger, she didn’t know where to start. She didn’t understand why he got riled up. Unfortunately, his phone rang just when Selena wanted to tell him that Juniper was ill, so she swallowed her words, allowing him to pick up the call.
“You’d better have a good reason to call, or you’re going to die!” he roared into the phone, incensed.
“I have bad news, President Fowler! Your computer was hacked!”
“What?” His computer was layered with encryptions. Even for top-tier hackers, it should be impossible to hack his computer. There was a lot of confidential information in his computer, so there would be dire consequences if it ever got hacked.
“President Fowler, please come immediately! The entire company’s system is down!”
