When Cynthia woke up the next day, she found a blanket over her body and a pillow under her head. When she realized it, she found no one else at home.
There was a note on the coffee table: “Don’t always wear high-heeled shoes and take good care of yourself. I have something to deal with so I have to leave.”
Cynthia looked at the handwriting on the note. Every line of the letter was written with the power draw. She frowned slightly.
“He’s always like this. He came and went at his will, but never thought about other people’s feelings.”
Cynthia then put the paper into her pocket, looking at the ice pack on the coffee table that had already turned into warm water. She just walked into the bathroom while shaking her head.
Today was the first day of Cynthia’s work after returning to Australia. As soon as she entered the company, Cynthia saw the familiar figure, who was talking with several shareholders of the company.
Cynthia did not want to have too much contact with him, so she then pretended she had not seen her, escaping from the scene as soon as possible. But she still ended up being stopped by his calling her name.
“Cynthia!”
Gray was a little unhappy and walked up to her and inquires, “Cynthia, do you deliberately avoid seeing me?”
Cynthia heard his words and furrowed her brows. Soon, she turned her face to shareholders, greeting them with a smile.
“What a coincidence, Mr. Smith.”
“I don t expect you to show up in person at the law firm.”
Even though she was unwilling to see him, Cynthia, who had been in the industry for three years, could figure out Gray’s reputation in front of several shareholders, so she obeyed Gray’s request.
“I am here to seek you,” Gray said. In his eyes was the sense of conspiracy.
Cynthia was confused: “what do you mean?”
“I will appoint you as my personal assistant.”
Gray then dragged her away from several shareholders.
On the elevator, Cynthis took a short break before she could reply. She resolutely rejected this: “I do not agree!”
“I don’t care what you do. I will not quit my job in this company.”
“I won’t work for you. After all, the only position I’m qualified for is an assistant lawyer.”
Gray, instead, was calm and confident.
Suddenly turning around and approaching Cynthia, who was only several centimeters away, he spoke slowly: “I have acquired this company.”
“So now I’m the boss and you’re my personal assistant… lawyer.”
“If you do not agree, I could not guarantee that Isreal…”
“Well, I agree, but you must leave him alone!”
Hearing the name of Isreal, Cynthis agreed to take the job without the slightest hesitation.
It was obvious that Cynthia cared about him…
“I never break my word.”
While speaking, Gray proudly lifted the corners of his mouth. The curve of his mouth was very charming, but at that moment Cynthis felt funny when she saw he took on such a look.
Never break your word?
She didn’t believe it…
“Words spoken from your mouth carry no weight. I want you to write it down. That’s better.”
Cynthia was ready to push Gray away from her and then took out the pen and paper to do the recordings.
As soon as she raised her hand, she was stopped by Gray with one hand. Her hand was pressed against the elevator’s wall and over her head.
“What do you want to do?”
There’s surveillance here, so behave yourself.
The words were spoken for justice, but her trembling voice betrays her.
Gray found Cynthia looked frightened in a way that was the same as three years ago, which made him feel glad.
“What do I want to do?”
“To give you what you want.”
Afterward, before Cynthia could make her reaction, Gray lowered his head to kiss her lip.
Cynthia resisted, but her hands and feet were all controlled. She shook her head but found that Gray had a hand clamping her chin.
Little by little, Gray pried open her teeth.
Cynthia was also about to be mesmerized by this kiss when the elevator gave a “ding” sound. Gradually the elevator’s door opened.
Cynthia pushed Gray away and covered her mouth, before escaping from the elevator.
But at the door of the elevator, Isreal was seen to stand opposite her.
“It’s not what you think, Isreal!”
Cynthia looked at Isreal’s eyes nervously, sincerely but uneasily explaining.
But Isreal just smiled and said, “I’m going to deal with a tricky case first, and I’ll judge on your case when I’m done.”
With that said, Isreal greeted Gray with a smile, who was walking out of the elevator. He left with a female assistant to go upstairs.
Cynthia looked at Gray’s complacent smile and guessed that this was his plot. She shouted angrily, “Gray, I can’t believe you are so childish!”
Gray was green-eyed with jealousy because of her attitude towards Isreal. Therefore, he grasped Cynthia’s wrist and put hers against the wall.
He howled with anger: “You say I am childish?”
“So how about Isreal?”
“Is it the case that you like me to be bossy or unreasonable?”
Hearing his words, Cynthia felt he was throwing a tantrum like a child.
“Gray, we are inside the company. Please pay attention to your image in front of the public.”
“Ah -”
Gray sneered, and then let go of her.
He didn’t hurry to achieve his goal, because the “prison” he set up was reserved for Cynthia only.
Walking in front of her, he lifted the corners of his mouth. He threw a complacent glance at Cynthia, who stood behind him.
