James did not want to waste time on unimportant people. Looking at Emily’s panicked and uneasy expression, he sneered.
The best way to torture a person was not to stab them with a knife, but to let them fall into despair.
He looked at Nolan, who stopped Emily and forced her to face reality.
If she still wanted to be with her daughter, it would be best if she stopped struggling in vain. Otherwise, the result would be something that she couldn’t bear to see.
Meeting in hell was also another way for the mother and daughter to be reunited!
Emily sat faintly on the chair. She regretted initiating the negotiation with James.
In the end, not only did she not get out of the mess in time, she even put herself in danger.
James left the meeting room. A secretary came to report that a woman who claimed to be his cousin wanted to see him downstairs.
Cousin?
Indeed, a new cousin recently popped in his life, and that was Madelyn. They were not even related by blood.
“The lady said that she has something very important to tell you. She is determined to see you. Mr. James, do you want to see her?”
“Did she just say that she had something very important? Let the security guard bring her up!”
“Okay!”
When the secretary heard that he had agreed to see Madelyn, she heaved a sigh of relief in her heart and revealed a smug smile.
She thought that when Madelyn came up, her lies would be exposed.
That woman thought that she was Jame’s fiancée, but the secretary knew that she was bluffing. How arrogant the woman was to scold her!
“Mr. James, the lemon water is here.”
Nolan brought a glass of lemonade.
James walked into the office with coffee and lemonade. In the office, all the floor-to-ceiling windows were opened and the sunlight poured in and shone brightly.
His little woman was bathed in the sunlight, drawing seriously.
The sunlight fell on her face, making her fair skin look brighter and her cheeks look pink.
“Kara.”
Kara turned his head and saw that he had returned. She put down his pen and walked happily to him.
Seeing that he was holding a glass of lemon water in his hand, she smiled brightly.
“James, is it for me?”
It just so happened that she was a little thirsty.
Moreover, it was James who brought it over. Just thinking about it made her feel that the lemonade was definitely tasty.
“Who said it was for you? Nolan prepared it for me.”
James arrogantly took out a straw and put it into the lemonade before he took a sip.
He tasted the lemonade. It was warm but bland.
Kara pouted as she watched him take a sip. She did not mind that he had tasted it. She just jumped up to bite the straw.
She gulped down half of the glass of lemonade in a short while like a little yellow cow drinking water, and the corners of her mouth twitched as she sipped the drink.
“Wow, it tastes good.”
Kara drank to her heart’s content.
“Little fool, how are you going to compensate me for drinking my lemonade?” he asked, raising his eyebrows.
Kara licked his lips and took two steps back.
“I left half for you. Besides, the lemonade is already in my stomach. Do you want to bite me?”
The corners of James’s mouth twitched.
He grabbed her arm and held her in his arms. Since he mentioned compensation, he would like to claim the interest for the compensation, too.
Pinching her lower jaw with his long fingers, he lowered his head and pressed on her smooth pink lips.
Kara was just joking.
She didn’t expect this man to be so narrow-minded. He really bit her lower lip and stuck his tongue down her throat.
The sunlight slowly spread over the two of them. When it landed on his body, there was a halo of light around him.
When she saw him close his eyes and enjoy the kiss, she was also a little intoxicated.
She giggled and did not reject him. She hugged his neck with her slender white arms and kissed him back.
“James, I’m here.”
Suddenly, the door of the office opened and a woman bumped in happily.
In the office, the two of them were lost in the kiss.
When James heard the sound of the door opening, he immediately turned around. His back faced the door, with Kara who was still in a daze in his arms.
When Kara heard Madelyn’s voice, she was also shocked and hid in the man’s arms to pant.
“James, sorry. Did I see something that I shouldn’t have seen?”
Madelyn saw that James was kissing a woman. Although she did not see the woman’s face, a gloating smile flashed across her eyes.
She stopped in her tracks and blinked innocently.
Originally, she thought that James wouldn’t play with women because she always had a straight face, but she never thought that he would also mess around with other women in his office.
Thinking of Kara, that pathetic woman, she suddenly felt a little sorry for her.
James took a deep breath, his brown eyes turning cold.
“Yes, you did!”
“I’m sorry, James. I’ll go out and wait for you guys to finish! I definitely won’t tell Kara about this.” Madelyn shrugged and left the office.
It was not until Kara heard the sound of the door closing that she began to leave his arms.
She covered her face with her hands, feeling a little embarrassed.
James rubbed her little head and stuffed the remaining lemon water into her hands.
“James, a secretary told me that your cousin wanted to see you, but I told her that she wouldn’t see her. Did she go to ask you again?”
“Yes.”
James sat behind his desk and took out a stack of documents, ready to read them.
She bit the straw and took a sip of lemonade. She walked to his side and asked doubtfully, “Then why do you agree to see her?”
“Then why did you agree to see her? Did you have something to talk to her?”
“No. She said that she had something important to tell me.”
“I see.”
Kara nodded, and she handed the glass in her hand to him. She left a little lemonade for him.
James looked at the straw that had tooth marks left by her bite and lifted his eyes to glance at her, feeling a little disgusted.
“If you don’t want to drink, throw it away!”
Kara pouted. She had deliberately left the last bit to him out of goodwill, but he didn’t want it.
She finished the lemon water herself before turning to her easel to resume drawing.
As soon as she sat down, her phone buzzed. In the WeChat group, everyone was thanking James for the coffee.
She blinked her eyes in confusion. Why did James send them coffee?
After asking someone, she found out that it was because of the painting she drew. So he also saw her painting, and that was why he especially bought her lemon water.
She bit her lower lip lightly, as if she could still feel his breath left on her lip.
She was so happy. Although James always looked serious, he always surprised her.
This boyfriend, and also her husband-to-be, was not bad.
Putting down the phone, she continued drawing.
For a moment, in the huge office, only the sound of pencils drawing and the man flipping through documents could be heard.
Until lunchtime, Kara did not hear James call Madelyn in. She was surprised.
He let Madelyn wait outside for more than two hours. Madelyn must have been pissed off.
Nolan knocked on the door and entered, asking where they were going to eat.
Kara wanted to go downstairs to the staff cafeteria. James had no objections. He turned off his computer and got up, ready to go to the cafeteria.
“Mr. James, Miss Madelyn is waiting outside.”
James nodded. He naturally knew that she was outside. Originally, he had wanted to give her five minutes to talk to him.
However, Madelyn ignored all the rules and barged into the office without permission. He naturally had to teach her a lesson.
“Give her two minutes!”
Nolan nodded and asked Nolan to bring her in.
Kara secretly hid behind the screen. She wanted to hear what Madelyn wanted to say.
After Madelyn walked into the office, she pouted angrily. She stared at him with pitiful eyes and felt very aggrieved.
“James, how can you make me wait for you for so long? I’m hungry.”
James ignored her and pointed to his watch.
“You only have two minutes. If you have anything to say, do it quickly!”
“James, I am here to apologize.” Madelyn took one step forward.
“I am so sorry to have caused the trouble last time. I made you quarrel with Auntie. It’s all my fault. Don’t blame her.”
“You still have one minute left. Is this what you call important to tell me? It’s so rude of you to waste one minute of mine.”
Madelyn was speechless.
His business-like tone made her somewhat stunned.
