“Of course not!” Pierre immediately turned Jameson down. “You’re a boy. How could you always follow your mom wherever she goes?”
While Jameson was the clingiest child in the family, Pierre was the person he feared the most. Thus, the intimidated boy only looked down and continued eating his meal. In the meantime, Selena looked at Pierre in bafflement while wondering what important business there was in the office. Nonetheless, she quietly kept her confusion to herself and changed to some decent formal wear with Pierre after the meal. Then, they left home and got into the car as Selena finally asked, “What important business do we have in the office?”
“You’ll know when you get there.”
Judging from the stern look on Pierre’s face, Selena reckoned it was probably some trouble caused by the other members in the Fowler Family. “Is someone from the Fowler Family causing trouble again? I’ve told you, haven’t I? These people don’t give a damn about their responsibilities even though they’re in high places. All they ever care is how to milk every single penny from the company and make it theirs! To me, they’re nothing more than parasites. In fact, I have a feeling that they’re probably taking advantage of the Fowler Corporation’s massive wealth, as they think that they could get away with it unnoticed by taking the company’s money bit by bit each time. This has to be put to a stop because a healthy corporate governance has no tolerance for parasites like them!” Issues like that were rather common across many different enterprises, and Fowler Corporation didn’t seem to be an exception.
“Yeah.” Pierre had his eyes glued to his phone, reacting casually to Selena’s words.
Meanwhile, Selena didn’t carry on with her speech, thinking that Pierre might have some unspoken reasons or even his own plan to run the company. Therefore, she decided to have some shut-eye instead because she didn’t sleep well the night before. After all, she was the second largest shareholder in the company and would like to show the employees her best self. Soon, she leaned back on the seat and went out like a light.
When the car stopped, Selena rubbed her eyes and stretched herself before stepping out of the vehicle, only to realize that the building standing in front of her was not their company but a hotel. Soon, Pierre smiled at her mischievously and said, “The presidential suite is this way, President Yard.”
It was at that moment that Selena finally understood what Pierre was up to, but even so, she could only go along with his plan since they were already there. When Pierre and Selena arrived in the presidential suite, he was happy that they could enjoy some private space at last. After kicking his shoes aside, he pinned the lady down on the bed and said, “You look so hot in your current outfit! It makes me want to conquer you right now!”
“Go away!”
Without their children to hold them back this time, the couple started to indulge in their romantic moments, making out in the bed before they had a comfortable and sensual shower in the bathtub. Well, the bathtub is not a bad place to enjoy ourselves after all! Then, they lay in the luxurious king-sized bed and took a nap. When they woke up, the waiter delivered them some dishes and fruits as arranged.
While Selena certainly enjoyed herself in the relaxing moment she rarely had, Pierre stared at her and caressed her hair. “How do you find looking after the kids? Tiring?”
“Of course!” Selena answered without any hesitation.
“And I thought nothing would wear you out.” Pierre then leaned closer to Selena. “Don’t forget to give yourself a break.” Deep down, he felt sympathetic toward Selena for her unconditional sacrifices for the children.
As Selena was about to reply, she was interrupted by a notification alert from her phone and saw a new email in her inbox. When she opened it, she was shocked by its content, seemingly unable to believe her eyes.
Sensing something amiss, Pierre leaned closer to find out what she was looking at. “What’s wrong?” It turned out that Selena was staring at a picture of a bracelet on her phone’s screen.
