It was a large room, but Emily thought it felt so small when Eldest Young Master Jackson approached her. She wondered if she could escape through the door.
Even though Eldest Young Master Jackson’s movements were slow, he could still grab hold of her wherever she went. In the end, she had backed into the desk.
“I’m furious.” However, the man’s tone did not carry any blame. “Should you not be punished for your actions, woman?”
“Didn’t you say that I was not in the wrong?” Was his memory that bad?
“What about the incident this evening, did you not do something wrong then?”
“No…”
“You were way out of line.” He told her that he would have a good talk with her behind closed doors when they got home. Since he did say that, then he should do as promised.
“But that was business.”
Emily’s brows tightened. When she saw the disdain in Eldest Young Master Jackson’s eyes, she knew that he would always have the last word!.
It did not matter if it was a public or private matter; it was whatever he wanted it to be. No one could ever refute his words!
That man was too overbearing!
“What do you want?” Emily immediately regretted when she asked that question.
Was she not digging her own grave?
Sure enough, Hunter’s lips curled upward to evoke a rare smile.
“I don’t want anything, but you have to be punished.”
“What… kind of punishment?” Her voice was a little hoarse as her throat grew parched.
His smile enticed her. It could even engulf one’s soul if one were not careful.
Emily only recovered from her daze when the man suddenly picked her up and carried her toward the bathroom.
As she grabbed onto his unbuttoned shirt, she exclaimed in panic, “Eldest Young Master Jackson, what are you doing?”
“Didn’t I say that life was short and we should enjoy it while we can?”
Hunter lowered his head. He had a terrifying glint in his eyes, one that could entice one to a life of crime.
“Since I have not tried certain things, I would like to try them, of course.” He kicked the bathroom door open with one foot and stepped inside with his long legs.
“No… Stop! Wait a minute, Eldest Young Master Jackson!”
He set Emily down. She wanted to escape, but he pulled her into his embrace. Then he pinned her between his body and the countertop and began to take off her baggy T-shirt.
“No. No… No, Eldest Young Master Master Jackson, don’t. I’m not ready. I’m not ready, no…”
“Okay, I’ll give you ten seconds to get ready.” He laughed. Her panic-stricken appearance thoroughly aroused him.
“Now, take off these hindering clothes.”
“I thought I had ten seconds?” She thought that he would leave her alone in the bathroom for ten seconds. She might be able to find a way to escape his clutches.
“That’s right. After ten seconds, we can take a bath together.”
The ten seconds were just enough time for her to take her clothes off.
“Not like this…” Emily was about to cry. That was what he meant by ten seconds!
“Wait. Wait. No. Wait…”
At that very moment, there was a knock on the door, followed by Liam’s vice, “Eldest Young Master, something has happened.”
Hunter ignored him completely. It seemed like Liam had become increasingly incapable of late.
Since something had happened, why could he not deal with it?
“Liam is looking for you.” Emily pushed him with all her might. It was no use as he did not even budge.
“He can handle it.” Hunter’s large hand fell onto her waist.
Emily desperately tried to push his hand away, but his other hand tried to peel her T-shirt off.
She could not process everything at once. She was flustered and almost collapsed! She screamed, but that b*stard seemed to enjoy it even more.
No, she could not give up her position!
She would not do such an embarrassing thing, like a bath with Eldest Young Master Jackson! He wanted a bath at that time, but what about the next time? That guy’s request would only get more excessive!
“Eldest Young Master Jackson, our relationship is an agreement. It’s only contractual. Don’t do this.”
“Throughout the duration of the contract, we are an engaged couple.”
Hunter did not move in the slightest. His smile had become more distant. “What engaged couple does not indulge in these activities? Hmm?”
“No…”
“Eldest Young Master!” Liam’s annoying voice rang out again. “Eldest Young Master, Miss Gale… is missing.”
Wendy was missing? If Liam was personally there to inform Eldest Young Master Jackson, then she must really be missing. It could even be life-threatening.
Emily really hated that woman and despised her way of doing things. Nevertheless, the news of her disappearance saved her from embarrassment!
“Eldest Young Master, she is Grandmother’s savior,” she reminded him.
Hunter’s expression darkened. Liam was there to tell him that the woman was missing. Had the situation escalated to a point where he had to deal with it? Perhaps he should replace Liam!
Even though the thick bathroom door, Liam could feel Eldest Young Master Jackson’s vicious glare. However, did it sound like he had any other choice? He would rather not interrupt other people’s happy times if he could help it.
Liam lowered his head and reported miserably, “Ewan lost sight of the mark. He hopes that Eldest Young Master Jackson would allow him to mobilize some men to perform a search immediately.
“Also, Ewan said that Miss Gale had thought of committing suicide. Miss Gale kept calling you on your phone. However, you ignored her calls.
“Miss Gale attempted to jump into the sea, but Ewan managed to prevent that. She said she wanted to be alone by the beach, so Ewan let her be.
“Ewan went to get her a bottle of water from the car, and when he returned to the beach, she was already gone.”
It looked like she had really jumped into the sea.
Although Emily strongly believed that the woman would not have committed suicide, she kept it to herself.
She gently nudged Hunter and whispered, “Let’s… find the missing person first. Otherwise, we would not be able to explain it to Grandmother.”
Eldest Young Master Jackson was unmoved, so Emily continued, “Didn’t you promise Grandmother that you would protect her?”
That was an easy guess. Otherwise, why would he assign such a strong person like Ewan to protect Wendy?
Eldest Young Master Jackson highly valued his convictions. He would do what he had promised. If he had given his word, then he would stick by it.
Hunter closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then he suddenly pressed his body violently against her.
“Ah! You…” Emily’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed tightly. That b*stard… His body was very taut!
The violent pressure and his unyielding aura; it was terrifying!
She bit her lip and endured it.
He was rudely interrupted, and so he was pissed about it. If it were to happen a few more times, he might not be able to that anymore.
After he pressed his body onto Emily, Hunter suddenly released her. He buttoned his shirt and then promptly walked out of the bathroom.
