Khebury, DeNox.
The exclusive suite on the top floor.
The bedsheets were wrinkled, the room was in disarray, and even the air was filled with a special ambiguous atmosphere.
It was already bright outside, but the curtains remained tightly closed. A dim night light illuminated the room, casting a faint halo.
The sound of rushing water continued to echo from the bathroom.
A misty haze filled the room.
Vicki stood under the showerhead, her tall figure being washed by the hot water, her wheat-colored skin glistening.
After showering, she dried her hair and walked out of the bathroom in a bathrobe.
The man on the bed was still asleep.
She opened the curtains slightly, opened the door, and walked out onto the balcony, going all the way to the railing.
Leaning against the railing, she casually picked up the lighter on the rattan coffee table next to her and lit a slender menthol cigarette, taking a few puffs.
White smoke rose between her fingers, lingering.
Gradually, she felt as if she was immersed in the mist. With her back to the room, she looked at the view beyond the railing-the internal garden of DeNox, designed in a Japanese style, exquisite and full of Zen.
Her hand rested on the railing, holding the cigarette between her fingers.
Suddenly, a man came up behind her, furrowing his brow, and took the cigarette from her hand.
"I thought you quit? Why are you smoking again?" he asked.
Vicki felt a little annoyed as she glanced back at the man.
"Awake? You should go home now."
Felix's face instantly darkened. What did this woman think she was doing after spending the night together? She wanted him to leave as soon as he woke up? This was his territory.
Suppressing his anger, he embraced her from behind.
He asked, "When are we getting married? How long do you want me to wait?"
Luther and Joyce had already returned to Khebury with their children. Joyce was pregnant with twins. Felix envied them.
Vicki turned her head, her expression unchanged, and asked calmly, "When did I make you wait? I never said I wanted to get married."
Felix's expression grew even darker.
He wanted to tear open her heart and see what it was made of. Was it made of stone? How could she be so heartless!
Four years ago.
A top-notch headhunting company introduced a legendary figure to manage DeNox, and that person was Vicki.
He still remembered the first time he saw her, she had stunned him. He had never seen a woman like her before.
She was tall, not much shorter than him.
Her appearance was striking, with narrow and captivating eyes that seemed to mesmerize people. High and straight nose, plump lips, healthy wheat-colored skin-her unique beauty was unforgettable.
Their first conversation, he would never forget.
"You're the new director of DeNox?"
"That's right. Who are you?" She raised her long gaze and glanced at him.
Her aura was so strong that he was instantly speechless.
"I, I am the boss of DeNox," he awkwardly replied, feeling a bit diminished in her presence.
"Oh, so you're the legendary playboy from the Saunders family."
He would never forget her disdainful smile.
So, he made up his mind to make her his. It wasn't difficult at all.
Soon, he succeeded. When he made ambiguous advances towards her, she didn't even object. She agreed without any reservation.
