After a few minutes, Max returned to check on his wife’s condition. The woman was crouching behind him. The trembling body was clearly at war with desire.
“She’s still holding it in? How great!”
Without feeling worried, the CEO turned his focus to the cell phone. Sebastian’s message immediately caught his attention.
“Why is he so excited to ask about a new project? I have clearly stated that the building design still needs to be perfected. At this rate, other ongoing projects could escape scrutiny.”
Suddenly, Gabriella whimpered like someone in pain. The man put away the cellphone and examined his wife more carefully.
“Are you okay?”
As soon as he grabbed the woman’s shoulder, his eyes widened. Gabriella’s face was pale and covered in sweat.
“Don’t touch me!” the woman could no longer speak loudly. Her energy had been absorbed by the outburst of desire that she was trying to muffle.
“Are you crazy? I don’t want to be accused of being a murderer if you die beside me.”
In an instant, Max pressed one ear to his wife’s heart. An annoyed sigh escaped her mouth.
“Are you willing to wait until your heart explodes? We do it now,” the man exclaimed as he began to unbutton his wife’s shirt.
“You’re the crazy one. How can we do that here? In the car? What if your driver hears?”
In an instant, the music played loudly. Gabriella spontaneously grimaced in embarrassment.
“Quick! We don’t have much time,” Max insisted as he moved Gabriella onto his lap so the woman’s breath was blowing right in front of him.
“We don’t have to do this, Max,” the woman shook, not realizing that her voice had been swallowed up by a louder sound.
A second later, the man had begun to embrace her, greeting inch by inch with great tenderness. After a while, Gabriella was finally able to release the air that had been stifling her chest.
“Why am I like this? It’s so embarrassing.” The woman couldn’t deny that her body was enjoying every move.
Looking up at the roof of the car that nearly hit her head, Gabriella welcomed a part of Max into her body.
“This must be the last time I let him in me.”
After a few minutes, the woman’s body drooped. She had reached the highest pleasure. Her strength was drained, but the swish in her veins was still pumping the spirit.
“Feeling better?” the man spoke at Gabriella’s ear. The woman nodded wordlessly.
Suddenly, the vehicle they were traveling in stopped moving and so did the music. A second later, the driver said, “Sorry, Sir. We’ve arrived.”
Max subconsciously snorted. “Go get some coffee and relax! Our business hasn’t finished yet.”
Gabriella suddenly opened her eyes wider. Before she could ask, the man had continued the game. A moan was about to escape.
“What are you doing? The turmoil in my body has subsided. I can hold it now,” the woman whispered in between gasping breaths.
“Let’s make it fair! I haven’t reached the peak yet,” the man who was also covered in sweat, said.
The woman’s brows furrowed deeper. “You really took advantage of me this time.”
“Didn’t you also use me to overcome the effects of the stimulant?” Max replied before increasing the stamina. Gabriella spontaneously shrieked before biting her own hand. Tears were flowing even though her heart was soaring.
“Max…, you’re too excited.”
“Shut up!”
In a moment, the man already burned the atmosphere. He knew very well the button to silence his wife. Gabriella was only able to speak through her warm breath.
Just as the man was about to get what he wanted, there was a knock on the window. The couple immediately gasped and turned to look at the curtain that were still closed tightly.
“Max, are you still inside? Why do you close the curtains. Are you working on a secret project?”
Max and Gabriella spontaneously looked at each other with round eyes. After a blink, they corrected each other’s clothes so that they did not arouse suspicion.
“Wait a minute, Bas!” the CEO exclaimed, afraid that his secretary would enter through the front door.
In just half a minute, the secret couple got out of the car and held each other’s breaths. Stiff smiles were plastered on their faces.
“Wow, I don’t know that Miss Gabriella came with you,” Sebastian said, raising an eyebrow and the corner of his lips. Two people in front of him nodded in unison.
“I need her help to perfect the design of the building,” the CEO said before scratching his nose. “So, what’s the latest news?” he asked as two others walked along.
The secretary shook his head. “You succeeded in making Julian angry. He’s still locked in his house.”
“That guy is really immature,” Max said, shaking his head in disbelief.
“By the way, some clients have already inquired about the details of the new project. When do you want to share information with the company? You can’t hold it in until it’s done, can you?”
The CEO’s eyes suddenly narrowed. “Why do you ask me? Ask Gabriella. She was the one who came up with the idea of the hybrid building.”
The woman opened her eyes wide. As soon as she caught Sebastian’s gaze, the corners of her lips raised.
“Sorry, I just want to share information with Max for now.”
“Max?” Sebastian said with a question mark at his eyebrows.
Gabriella gaped for a moment. “I mean Mr. Max.”
The secretary began to nod and ponder. “Why only Mr. CEO can know?”
“Considering that the enemy’s still unknown, it would be best if we are careful,” Gabriella replied, making Max secretly smiled.
“Then why don’t you tell me too? I am Mr CEO’s confidant. I don’t mind helping out.”
The woman nodded gracefully. “Still, it is not the right time.”
Sebastian finally sighed in resignation. “Since you keep refusing, let me ask another question. Since when did you understand about development projects? Haven’t you been studying the piano all this time?”
Gabriella’s steps suddenly stopped and the curve of her lips turned stiff. “I … only learned about it recently.”
Max almost laughed at his wife’s tone. A second later, he cleared his throat.
“Do you remember that I ever looked for the information about Gabriella?”
Sebastian’s brows furrowed, waiting for further explanation.
“Her IQ is 142. Enough to learn new things in no time.”
Sebastian’s mouth fell open for a moment, while the woman beside him widened her eyes in disbelief. Where did the CEO get that information from?
“Finally, there’s someone I know that almost rivals your IQ,” the secretary sighed before cracking a laugh.
“Almost. You need to remember that my IQ is still three points higher.”
Gabriella’s lips suddenly pursed to detect her husband’s arrogance. However, before she could comment, Max’s hands were already behind her back.
“Since your curiosity has been quelled, can we leave? There’s an important agenda that awaits.”
The woman secretly glanced at the man beside. The CEO’s charade seemed very natural.
“Yes, of course. I also have to take care of other things.”
After giving a farewell smile, Max ushered Gabriella into the elevator.
As soon as the door closed tightly, the woman launched a question. “How do you know my IQ is 142?”
“From the album containing your collection of important letters.”
Gabriella’s eyes suddenly widened. “My blue album? Where did you get it from?”
“From the ruins of your house.”
The woman blinked in disbelief. “Why don’t you give it to me?”
“Because it’s not the time yet.”
Annoyed face immediately replied to Max’s answer.
“Actually, how many of my belongings did you find? You must be planning to use them for pressuring me, like how you used Snowy,” Gabriella accused with a pointed index finger.
Instead of answering, Max stepped out through the half-opened elevator door, leaving his wife in confusion.
“Tsk, what other threats will he pose to me? I shouldn’t have married such a cunning man,” the woman grumbled before walking quickly after her husband.
“Then why do you invite me here? What important agenda did you mean earlier?”
“It’s only been ten minutes and you’ve forgotten our agenda?” Max asked, placing his finger on the sensor on the door. His crooked smile had perfected a mysterious impression.
A few seconds passed, Gabriella’s brow kept furrowing. Even until she entered the CEO’s room, her brain was still working hard.
“You didn’t mention work matters to me. You must have remembered wrong.”
Before Gabriella could put the bag on the table, Max suddenly grabbed her waist. After a glance, she was cornered against the wall while her bag was on the floor.
“What are you doing?” The woman was attacked by her own beating heart.
“Our important agenda is not finished, Mrs. Evans. Now, help me achieve what I almost got.”
“Are you crazy? We’re in your office. What if someone sees?”
Suddenly, Max slipped his hand to his wife’s ON button. With a crooked smile, he whispered, “If someone watches, the atmosphere would have gotten hotter.”
A second later, Gabriella had closed her eyes and was engulfed in pleasure. She already forgot about not to give that man another chance. The CEO’s charm had successfully conquered her ego.
