Serina said with a smile, “I will try my best.”
“Thank you so much, Ms. Serina.”
The door of the elevator was opened.
Hayden made a gesture to ask Serina to step out.
Serina was surprised at how quiet the corridor was.
The marble floor was clean as a mirror. The glass windows were so clear that they could overlook the entire city.
“Is there anyone working here?”
“Mr. Derek works here. He prefers a quiet place. Only Mr. Derek’s office and a meeting room are on this floor. This way please, Ms. Serina. ”
Hayden led Serina to Derek’s office.
“Ms. Serina, please get in. Mr. Derek is in his office. He scheduled a meeting today, but has put it off.”
Serina was stunned. Was she very important to Derek?
He canceled the meeting because of her.
Hayden nodded at Serina and left.
Serina knocked on the door.
She heard a sound.
Serina was familiar with this sound. She heard it often when she was at the Crystal Palace. The door was opened.
Serina walked in.
It was a huge office. There were three computers on a long, curved table. Derek was working in front of them.
Upon both sides of his desk, there were black filing cabinets. Tidy files with dense codes were neatly put inside.
This office looked the same as people’s impression of Derek.
It was indifferent and always kept people away.
“Why? Do you miss me?” Derek looked up from his computer and glanced at Serina.
This man put on an evil smile which made Serina wanted to punch his face!
Serina cleared her throat, “I come here for…”
Oh no, why was she here for?
How should she start the conversation?
Should she ask why he had left the Gill family? Or should she mention the port cabotage right? Maybe she should ask whether he loved her.
Derek picked up a cup from the table, took a sip of water, and looked at Serina who was embarrassed.
“I come here to get the divorce agreement!”
Finally, Serina said. She could not find a better subject.
Derek was disappointed. He thought that Serina missed him and came to see him as soon as she was on holiday.
He snorted and pressed a button on the phone.
Hayden answered, “Mr. Derek, what can I do for you?”
“Get me a hard copy of the divorce agreement from my lawyer.”
“Yes, Mr. Derek.”
Five minutes later, Hayden brought the file and handed it to Serina.
Looking at the file in her hand, Serina had mixed feelings. Why Derek’s employees were so efficient?
She thought that she had a chance to talk with Derek!
She had the divorce agreement now. It was time for leaving.
What should she do?
Serina stood there and kept her head down, blankly staring at the file in her hand. Derek stood up.
By the time Serina raised her head, she saw Derek’s handsome face right in front of her. She trembled with a surprise.
“Anything else?”
Serina was speechless.
“I want…”
As soon as Serina looked up, Derek kissed her on her lips. He held her waist with one hand and pressed the back of her head with the other. Serina couldn’t move.
Serina widened her eyes. He kissed her.
Derek was confused. He could not control himself whenever he saw Serina.
The temperature in the room was rising gradually. Serina blushed and felt difficult to breathe. When Derek moved his lips away, Serina took the chance to breathe. Soon, he kissed her again.
Derek’s breathing was quick and uneven. He was no longer satisfied with kissing. He picked Serina up.
Derek placed a hand on her butt and held her with another, walking towards the break room.
There was a large bed in the break room which was for Derek to take a nap when he was tired.
Derek laid Serina on the bed and pressed her under.
Serina suddenly put her arms around Derek’s neck, “Wait a minute!”
“I can’t wait anymore!” Derek untied his tie and threw it away, and unbuttoned his shirt. After taking off his shirt, he started to undress Serina.
“Derek! Could you wait a moment?”
“No!”
Serina had known that she must never talk about business with a horny man because he would ignore her!
When Derek kissed Serina on her neck and gradually took off her dress, a bell rang suddenly.
Derek stopped abruptly.
Serina did not know what had happened.
Damn it!
It was his alarm clock!
Derek had a very important meeting with shareholders today. He had postponed it because Serina came to see him.
He did not plan to make out with her today. But he was overwhelmed when he saw her.
Damn it!
Derek was on top of Serina, breathing heavily.
Shareholders were unhappy with putting off today’s meeting. If Derek postponed again or canceled it, it would cause a stir!
Derek looked at Serina in his arms. She blinked her big eyes and her face was rosy.
What an enchanting woman!
He pinched Serina’s cheeks, saying “I have a meeting.”
“Okay,” Serina answered.
“Are you upset?”
What did he mean?
Who was more disappointed?
Only till now did Serina realize that Derek was so narcissistic!
“It doesn’t matter. I will compensate you tonight. I will see you at your place.”
“To compensate me? It’s unnecessary. Forget it. I can live without it!”
Derek didn’t want to compensate her, but to make himself happy!
“You’re welcome!” Derek got up and took a new shirt out from the wardrobe. The one which he had taken off was wrinkled.
Derek would never allow his shirt to have any wrinkles.
Serina watched Derek calmly putting on his shirt, tying his tie, and dressing a suit.
Derek was handsome with or without clothes!
Derek looked at Serina and said, “Tidy yourself up, Hayden will send you out later. I’ve got to go.”
Serina watched Derek walking towards the door.
“I love you, Derek!” Serina said. She didn’t know where her courage came from.
Hearing Serina’s confession, Derek stopped.
It had been a long time since he heard it last time.
“Do you love me?”
