-What’s so special about a woman who has had a relationship with Dylan? She’s already dirty, and you’re still thinking about it!
Gerardo said with disgust that his dislike for Vanessa came to a head when he found out she was involved with Dylan.
Gerard simply would not allow Orlando to remain obsessed with a woman he detested, even if she was now much less of a threat to Orlando.
-You don’t seem to want to work with me here, grandfather.
Orlando raised an eyebrow with a look of regret.
The conversation was not going well and it made no sense for him to stay.
-Grandfather, I’ll give you time to think about it.
Orlando turned and walked away; Gerard looked at his back in annoyance, but could say nothing. After biting his tongue for a while, he himself became uncomfortable and sat muddy on the sofa.
-My Lord, are you all right?
Jaime was quick to ask with concern as he smoothed Gerardo’s breathing.
-I’m fine.
Gerard waved his hand, a cold, taciturn light in his eyes.
She was trying to get Orlando, her grandson, back, but she didn’t want to compromise. Whatever happened, she would not allow Orlando to get involved with Vanessa again. If he persisted, she would use extreme measures.
“Vanessa, can’t stay. At least not to stay in Peaceful City.”
Gerard narrowed his eyes and began to mentally scheme what to do.
-Jaime, get someone to keep an eye on Vanessa.
-Sir, you…
Jaime looked at Gerardo with a surprised face, and seeing the cold glint under his eyes, he instantly understood what was going on. It was clearly a Moya family affair, and yet they had to involve innocent people.
And from the looks of Gerardo, he didn’t seem to have any good ideas.
-Hmph, it’s just a woman. One by one, they are all charmed and turned around. With power, what kind of women are not available? Why should he be so obsessed? Since you can’t think clearly, I’ll help you think clearly.
-But, Miss Vanessa is after all….
-What, you think I’m being mean by doing this?
Gerard narrowed his eyes at Jaime, his sharp gaze seeming to see right through him.
Jaime was too busy lowering his head to say more.
-I’ll have 13 take care of it.
Only when he received a satisfactory answer, Gerard withdrew the sharpness of his eyes and sighed, saying mercilessly:
-I wouldn’t want to do this if I could. Vanessa is innocent, after all, but who let Orlando love her like a madman.
So he was forced to act.
Look, he is clearly cold-blooded and heartless himself, but in short he has become a helpless grandfather who worries about his grandson.
Jaime lowered his head and said nothing.
After getting 13 to explain Gerardo’s orders, he took out his phone where no one was looking and sent a text. After it showed that it had been sent successfully, he deleted it from his phone immediately and returned as if nothing had happened.
-It’s time to get off work, isn’t it?
Vanessa looked up and frowned when she saw Dylan, leaning against the office door.
-I have work to do, I’m working late tonight.
“So you’d better go back and leave me alone here.”
Although Vanessa didn’t say it, the meaning was clear, and Dylan walked in as if he hadn’t seen it, leaning in behind Vanessa and approaching.
Lips pressed against his earlobe and nibbled gently.
-All right, I’ll stay with you.
Shame on you!
Vanessa told herself to calm down and not to bother with such shameless people.
-But before I do that, I have to accept payment.
-I didn’t agree with you … Good!
Vanessa’s retort was blocked as his tongue darted across her mouth. During the kiss, Dylan lifted Vanessa and they switched places.
He sat down in the office chair and made Vanessa sit on his lap.
Wrapping his arms around her, he kissed her deeply.
If Enrique wasn’t still around, Dylan would love to make a play in the office with Vanessa.
-Enough… That’s enough.
Vanessa desperately pushed Dylan. This was her office and Enrique was still working and would probably come in. It would be too humiliating for him to see Dylan… then.
-Very good.
Dylan’s tone was full of regret, and when he finished, he reluctantly bit Vanessa’s lips again before releasing her.
Finally he sat obediently beside her and Vanessa forced herself to calm down and start concentrating on her work. Only work could chase away the thoughts in her head that shouldn’t be there and calm her mind.
While Vanessa was quickly engrossed in her work, Dylan lay on the sofa doing nothing, looking lazy and unconcerned.
He hung his head slightly, his thick eyelashes shading his eyes, and no one could see what he was thinking at the time.
At first, Vanessa had only given him an involuntary glance, but when she saw his jealously long eyelashes, she couldn’t help thinking: would it tickle him more if he ran his palms over them?
The thought was dispelled by herself as soon as it appeared.
“Stop being attracted to this sexy man.”
Vanessa forced herself to concentrate and stop looking at Dylan.
Heh.
Dylan laughed heartily. He knew from which angle she would be most attracted, so he had deliberately posed like this to tease her, and to his surprise, she was actually teased.
There is no denying that Dylan was particularly happy at the time.
Even if Vanessa resisted, she would eventually be attracted to him.
A cold light shone under Dylan’s eyes as he thought about the text message he had received not long ago.
-Do you want to get something to eat before going back to work?
Dylan’s voice was deliberately low, sounding husky and sultry, and Vanessa startled, the pen in her hand making a long scratch on the paper.
-People are scared to death.
Vanessa looked up and glared at Dylan.
-Well, I apologise.
With that, Dylan moved in and planted a quick kiss on her lips.
“That’s not an apology, that’s taking advantage!”
-Eat something or your stomach won’t be able to take it.
Vanessa had no choice but to put down her pen, wash her hands and go out to dinner. It was good that the paperwork was basically done and she didn’t need to be busy any more.
After dinner, she put all the papers in order so that she could go home.
-I’ll take you.
-No, I’ll drive myself.
He wouldn’t dare ask Dylan to take him, or it could be to his village instead of Cazalla.
-Honey, you’re so cruel, aren’t you? I work late with you and you won’t even let me take you home?
Vanessa rolled her eyes and looked at Dylan, wanting to say, “You chose to work late with me and I didn’t force you to.
