It was then she raised her eyes and looked into a pair good looking but deep eyes, her heart had that feeling of unease again. She lowered her eyes and said with a thin voice, “Sorry, I didn’t mean it!”
Suddenly, she was pulled over into the elevator by a pair of big hands. The door closed, his tall masculine figure right in front of her.
Nora was alarmed instantly, her eyes widened at him instinctively with deep wariness, “What do you want to do?”
Kingsley looked at the stains on her chest and the hem with faintly disdain, “You ruined my important documents and now you intend to just walk away?”
Looking down at the conspicuous stains on her white shirt, Nora tried to cover it with her hands, forcing back her tears. He was not likely to punish and confine her to a small dark room, right? Her legs went weak at the thought of it and she tried to stretch her hand to press the button to get out.
However, the man’s big hand caught hers as soon as it was stretch out. His brow furrowed with a hint of angry, “Behave yourself!”
Catching her jaw in his fingers, “Why are you here?” he asked, then he saw the badge on her chest and he smiled meaningfully, “Oh, to attend the bidding session?”
Nora looked away, “My colleagues are waiting. I can’t be out for long.”
Raising his eyebrows, the man said flatly, “You ruined the documents I spent all night working on. I can’t just let it go.”
Hearing what he said, Nora felt a bit guilty. She bit her lip and said, “I’m sorry… what do you want me to do?”
Suddenly, the man’s face got so close to hers, Nora almost stopped breathing in shock, she blinked her eyes but didn’t dare to move.
The man’s cool breath wafted over her face. He did not move further, and stared at her.
Actually he didn’t mean to do anything. But he felt it quite interesting to scare her a little bit.
The elevator doors opened when they arrived, Kingsley gripped her wrist and dragged her out.
With her wrist being gripped tightly, she didn’t have a chance to protest. The man was of great strength and he was not gentle now. She bit her lower lip and said under her breath, “Mr. Baxter, let go of me. Don’t make a scene here…”
The she tried to pull away his hand with her another hand.
Kingsley stopped and looked at her nonchalantly, “Do you know where it is here?”
It was Rivertown Group, Kingsley’s territory. Who would dare to say anything unpleasant to him here?
Nora paused for a moment. Then the man had already opened the door of the private lounge at the top floor and dragged her inside.
“Sit down here!” Kingsley commanded coolly, and took out his phone to call his secretary.
“Yeah, white shirt, small size!” Kingsley hung up the phone. He walked directly toward her, and met with her faintly anxious gaze.
Towering her, he unbuttoned the cufflinks of his shirt carelessly, “Somebody has brought the drinks to the meeting room. As for you, change your clothes first!”
Nora was dazed for a moment. She looked up at the handsome face before her eyes, and couldn’t figure out what he was thinking now.
She clutched her clothes to hide her uneasiness, “Oh!” After a moment, she stared at his face and asked, “May I leave after changing clothes?’
The smile touching the corner of his mouth faded, “I almost forgot. You just reminded me that you have to stay here and make notes on those documents!”
In other words, this man just made it clear not to let her go? She tried to get up, but Kingsley pushed her shoulder down, and directly picked up the badge on her chest, “Newcomer?”
Nora didn’t know his intention, and could only nod, “Yeah!”
Kingsley nodded, “Sit right here, have dinner with me later tonight.”
Chapter 35: Her Monthly Period Came
Nora’s brain worked quickly and she blurted out, “Who would pay the bill?”
Kingsley was stuck. He looked at her for a while and his expression became a little playful.
Nora observed him and it seemed his mood was not bad today, as it felt like he didn’t hate her as much now. Perhaps she could pull the string and asked him to read her company’s request for proposal.
Hah-hah…
With this thought, she added, “We could also just split the bill!”
Kingsley’s expression froze, his voice cool and clear, “Haven’t you just found a job and have money now?”
How could this man still care about her poor salary while he was so rich? She rolled her eyes, although feeling a bit painful for her wallet, regardless of the cost, she said, “All right, it could be my treat. However, Mr. Baxter, about our company’s request for proposal…”
Her chin was cupped by him before she could finish, while he looked at her, half smirking, “Where did you learn it?”
A faint smile appeared in his eyes. It was not sure if it was his mockery of her naivety that she wanted to cut corners through him.
Nora felt that she just made a big mistake, given that he should not like mixing life with work. But she was still a bit unwilling to reconcile, with so many companies participating in the bidding, it was still a question of whether their request for proposal had the chance to be sent to him!
His fingers tightened slightly, and the smile on his lips widened, “You think you are so significant that a meal with you is enough to have me pull the string for you? Do you know the rules of business?” His eyes lingered on Nora’s breast. He laughed roguishly, “Why don’t you book a room tonight, dress more sexily, and then invite me?”
In front of others, Kingsley was always cold and indifferent, but when he was with Nora he became a beast dressed in good suit, roguish and frivolous.
Nora’s face was flushed red, just like a cooked tomato. Those gossips about him suddenly came to her mind. Would he be like this with other women, or had someone already done such kind of thing to him?
Somehow she felt a bit uncomfortable at the thought of it and slightly looked away. Suddenly a knock on the door came. It should be the secretary!
Kingsley shifted his gaze away from her. He went to open the door to take the shirt, and handed it to her, “Put it on!”
It was an Armani blouse which was handmade and expensive.
Nora felt nervous and unease as she took it and thought to herself, “Am I really going to change my clothes right here?”
She hesitated for just a second, while the man’s deep voice sounded over her head, “Do you want me to help?”
“No…I don’t.” almost without thinking, she blurted out.
Kingsley’s eyes darkened. He looked at Nora’s vigilant face, feeling it interesting yet irritating, and eventually put on a poker face, “The bathroom is over there!”
Nora got up immediately and flew over there.
Locking herself in the bathroom, she pressed her hand on her chest She took out her phone and found a text.
It was from Shawn which said, “Nora, you can go back if you are not feeling well. You don’t have to stay here with us.”
She patted her forehead and knew it must be Kingsley’s idea.
At this moment, she felt a sudden sharp pain in her stomach which caused her to bend down involuntarily at once and gasped for breath.
She glanced at the toilet bowl, and she was dumbfounded…
Dear menstruation, how could you show up right now?
Kingsley sat on the sofa, checking the time and it showed that twenty minutes past. How could she take such a long time to change clothes?
Knitting his eyebrow, he got up and went to the bathroom door. He knocked, “Not finished yet?”
Her voiced seemed flustered, “Not yet, one minute!”
Kingsley’s hand rested on the doorknob, his eyebrows raised, looking dissatisfied . He thought to himself, “What trick is she playing now?”
But just for a moment, her shout sounded from the bathroom, “It seems like…my monthly period just came…”
