Sweat trickled on both of their faces. The car was air-conditioned, but the temperature inside the vehicle had risen. Elena put her hands on Henry’s chest. Even though there was a layer of thin shirt between her palms and his chest, she could feel that his body temperature had increased. She regretted her words, and she knew that she should not have brought up the topic. No straight man could remain indifferent when someone doubted their masculinity. She did not expect that he would be so angry!
“Henry…”
Suddenly, she felt some pressure on her lower back, and she was pulled toward him.
Elena was terrified, but she struggled violently. “Henry, you have to control yourself!”
“Why should I control myself? You…” Henry gasped, his voice was extremely hoarse. “You are no longer anyone’s woman.”
“I’m not your woman!” Her arms were slender, and she had little strength so she could no longer keep it up.
Henry closed his eyes. He thought if he did not see her face, he would have better control over himself. However, after he closed his eyes, all he could think about was the petite little body beneath him.
“I’m a little…” Her soft body was on his, and he could not hold on any longer!
His fingers tightened behind her, and he was about to pull her toward himself. Suddenly, a cold and sullen face flashed in his mind. Henry opened his eyes and saw Elena’s frightened face. He was startled by his loss of control and loosened his grip on her, and Elena immediately climbed down from him and opened the car door. Her petite body fled away immediately. Henry glanced at himself; his pants were stretched!
“Damn it!” He cursed. He did not rush out to chase her. Instead, he leaned on the back of his seat and closed his eyes.
His heart still pounded, and the low moan he made while he tried to calm his chaotic breath created an enigmatic feeling. How could he be so impulsive with Elena? She was not his type. However, his body did not lie. Did he scare her off? He had no idea what had happened. Was it because he had never been with a woman? Did his body go out of control when he was finally near one?
Should he try to fall in love with the woman to feel normal again? Otherwise, he would think about her all the time, even at work, and that was not a good thing. He tried to convince himself that he was easily aroused because he had never been with a woman before. When he opened his eyes again, he had calmed down. He closed the door and started the engine to drive after her.
Elena was walking on the road, and she planned to return to September Media’s office building on foot, but the Sharp’s Industrial Park was too big, and there was no sight of a buggy at night. If she insisted on walking, then it would take her at least half an hour.
A car slowed down behind her. When it drove up to her, the window wound down, and Henry’s calm face appeared.
“Get in the car.” His voice was still somewhat hoarse, but he was calm.
Elena looked at him with hesitance.
“It was you who brought up that nonsense. That was just a punishment!” Henry’s face did not look good at all.
He did not take advantage of her, so she should be alright. As for Henry, he had completely lost his dignity in front of her. He was the victim.
Elena still hesitated. “Are you sure you won’t lose control again?”
“Do you think you are a goddess?” Henry grunted displeasingly. “Do you think all men would lust after you?”
“Well, you were the one who lost control of himself!” She was not a goddess, but she had felt the changes in his body!
“You provoked me!” Henry was irritated. She had destroyed his reputation as a gentleman!
He was Second Young Master Sharp, and all the girls in Bentson admired him. Why would he lose control of his emotions when he was with her? Elena wanted to refute him, but she understood a man might get angry when someone doubted their masculinity.
Henry became impatient. He glanced at her for the last time. “Are you getting into the car? If you don’t want to, then you can continue to walk.”
He placed his foot on the gas pedal and was about to speed away.
“I’ll get in!” Elena immediately said.
The car came to a stop, and she opened the door and climbed into the back seat. She was unwilling to sit next to him. She did not want to experience the same thing to happen again. As they approached the September Media building, Elena leaned toward the front seat and looked at the side of Henry’s face.
“Actually, Second Young Master Sharp, is it true that you haven’t had a girlfriend all these years?”
“Women are trouble.” Why would he want to get himself into trouble?
Elena’s curious eyes gazed up and down his body.
“Elena!”
“Okay, I was wrong! I’ll get out of the car, alright?”
…
Elena had been in a bad mood that night, but it had lifted after that little drama with Second Young Master Sharp. Life is short. Why should she stay upset? Every single day is a day less to her lifetime. Why should she be so hard on herself?
She hummed a happy tune as she walked into the office. Henry had driven away after he watched her enter the building. Her people are there, so there were no threats to her well-being. He did not need to stay by her side. He was a prominent figure in Bentson, but he was no different from a nanny when he was with her.
A random message had interrupted his dinner. He had dropped his chopsticks and hurried off to her rescue. If that someone was afraid that Dylan would hurt her, then he should guard her himself? Why did he call for Henry’s help? Was he that busy?
Elena had no idea what Second Young Master Sharp had mumbled under his breath. He told her that it had been a coincidence when he saw her on the road. She had no idea what had happened.
Layla and Aryan were still in the office. Even though the office area was huge, they were used to sharing an office. Layla’s eyes lit up when Elena walked in as she hummed a happy tune.
“Elena, it looks like you are finally in a good mood?”
The whole office quieted when she said that. Everyone looked at Elena, afraid that she would recall those unhappy memories again. Elena met everyone’s eyes and noticed how they fidgeted in their seats while they looked at her. She was touched by their concern for her. They must have been terrified while she was in a coma.
“I’m fine. I’m in a good mood tonight.” She walked toward them.
“Is it because of Second Young Master Sharp?” Lois walked toward her from the window. “I noticed that he was the one who drove you here.”
“No wonder you are in such a good mood. You’ve been on a date with him.”
Fortunately, Luacs was not there. Otherwise, he would be jealous when he heard that.
“Nonsense! It was only a coincidence.” Elena put her bag down and sat on the chair.
Lois did not believe Elena. “He only left after he was sure that you’re in the building. He wanted to make sure you were safe.”
“Elena, don’t think that we don’t know you and Second Young Master Sharp are in a relationship. You can’t fool us!”
