Aurelia got a piece of fried chicken for Laura, "Marriages that last a lifetime are becoming scarce, you know. Just the other day, Ella from HR Department got divorced. Rumor said that her husband had an affair and she caught him red-handed."
She let out a wry chuckle, a hint of mockery in her eyes, "Most men can't seem to keep their pants zipped. Rich or poor, they're all the same."
Leopold, who had always been a man of restraint, was not amused.
"Could you show some respect for the man sitting right here?"
Aurelia pulled a face, then quickly shifted to flattery, "Mr. Leopold, you're not just any man. You're a god among men, a diamond in the rough. Out of billions of men worldwide, there are no more than ten like you. You're rarer than a four-leaf clover. "
Leopold raised an eyebrow, amused. Flattery he could tolerate.
"You have a good eye."
"As a designer, it's my professional duty. Men like you, flawless and divine, are hard to come by."
Leopold glanced at her sideways, a wicked smirk on his lips, "Then why don't you try harder?"
Aurelia took a bite of her steak and grinned slyly, "Our values don't align. I like men who are submissive, and you like women who are submissive. If we were together, wouldn't it be dealing with a dead bedroom every day?"
She suddenly stopped. She had used the wrong metaphor. A dead bedroom was more indicative of a low quality of sexual life...
She quickly dug into her dinner, hoping that the boss hadn't caught her slip up...
Leopold, of course, had.
This woman had somehow breached his formidable defenses and sent his hormones into overdrive.
If she wasn't pregnant, an "active bedroom" could be a possibility.
He wasn't opposed to being intimate with her. After all, he was a normal man, and she was the only one who could stir his physical desires.
Fulfilling desires didn't require emotions.
