5. Dangerous Passion

"I heard that the heir to the Hubert family has returned to this city. If we can establish a business partnership with him, I'm sure the Clement family's caste will rise one level higher than the others," Haidar said and then turned his head. "Use this opportunity well, Luis. I've noticed that your performance has deteriorated lately. What happened?"

Luis choked at being asked such a question by his father. Obviously. The reason was because he was confused. After officially divorcing Elea, he felt like something was wrong. His mind couldn't focus, his heart was restless, and he couldn't sleep or eat. Luis waited for Elea to come whining as usual, but the wait never materialized. Elea changed. Her demeanor became very cold and indifferent.

"Are you two fighting?" Silvia looked at Luis and Elea in turn.

"You're thinking too far. Luis and I are fine. Aren't we, dear?" Elea replied as she looked at Luis. She smiled.

(Disgusting! If it wasn't for the sake of divorcing you, I wouldn't be willing to put on a show like this in front of Mom and Dad. It's really annoying. Even when you're divorced, you still make a fuss. Huh!)

"Yes, ma'am. We're fine," Luis smiled broadly. He was right, Elea had asked for a divorce just to get his attention.

"If that's the case then what's keeping you from focusing on work?"

"I'm ... I'm just... just ....

"Mom, please don't put too much pressure on Luis. He's like that because he's exhausted. His focus is divided between work and our efforts to join the pregnancy program. Don't you want to have grandchildren soon?"

Haidar and Silvia looked at each other as they heard Elea's words. No wonder the office work was a mess. It turned out that their son was busy taking care of a prospective grandchild. It was very exciting news.

"Elea is right, ma'am. We're ... we're in a pregnancy program," Luis said proudly. He took Elea's hand and kissed it gently. "Honey, I'm sorry if I'm going to make you tired and sleep-deprived more often. All for the sake of mom and dad. Please don't be angry."

"Of course not. It's for the common good. Isn't that right, Mom, Dad?"

Elea felt like punching Luis in the face for taking a chance on her. An act is an act, but there was no need to kiss his hand either.

"Hahaha, I'm very happy to hear this good news. As for the office, I'll find someone to help. You just focus on Elea's pregnancy. Okay?"

"Yes, Dad" Luis said happily.

Luis secretly glanced at Elea who was joking with her mother. Still the same. Very beautiful. He couldn't deny his discomfort at the thought of Elea sleeping in another man's arms. However, the decision had already been made. Like it or not, Luis had to be willing so that his position in the Clement family would not be displaced.

"Mom, Dad, I'm leaving to go to the bathroom for a while. I think there's something wrong with my stomach," Elea excused herself. She knew he had been glancing at her. So she deliberately used this opportunity to get away.

"Should I accompany you?" Luis volunteered.

"No, you don't. You stay here with Mom and Dad. I can be alone."

"Elea, let Luis go with you. A woman on a pregnancy program needs to be taken care of. Your stomach is uncomfortable. I'm worried something might happen," Silvia said worriedly. Her granddaughter-to-be could not go wrong. Her safety must be ensured.

Elea's hands were clenched tightly. Because her mother-in-law had asked her to, she reluctantly allowed Luis to accompany her to the bathroom. And as soon as she stepped away, Elea immediately dismissed Luis' hand that was wrapped around her waist.

"I just found out that Luis Clement likes to take advantage of things. Don't forget, we're divorced!"

Luis was nervous, a little out of sorts as Elea looked at him sharply. "Mom and Dad are there. What can I do but help smooth over this charade? Besides, are you prepared to face them if they realize there's something wrong with our relationship?"

"But I refuse physical contact!"

"Come on, don't be childish. Just hold hands and hug around the waist. It's not harmful at all."

"You really have no shame. You're so disgusting!"

Furious, Elea walked away from Luis' presence. She grumbled, angry, but couldn't do anything about it. When she was about to open the bathroom door, someone suddenly pulled her hand inside. Before Elea could scream, her mouth was silenced.

"Syutt, it's me."

(Greg?)

"Yes, Greg your contract boyfriend," Greg whispered as if he could read Elea's mind. Without releasing his hand, he kissed the back of her neck. Fragrant, very fragrant. It felt like Greg was going crazy. "You're this beautiful and sexy to see your in-laws, I'm so jealous."

There wasn't much Elea could do other than close her eyes and enjoy Greg's touch. Her brain seemed to have stopped functioning. She forgot how this man had appeared. There was only the heat that seemed to burn her body. Even the anger at what Luis had done was forgotten in an instant. Greg was dangerous.

"El, i miss you."

"Emmmmmmm,"

Greg turned Elea's body to face him. Then he caressed her beautiful face.

"I miss you so much. May I ....

"Don't be crazy, Greg. This is a public restroom. My husband and in-laws are here too. What would they say if they found out that I was caught making out with another man?" Elea said, trying hard to keep a clear head amidst the onslaught of lust. Staring into Greg's beady eyes, she ran a finger over her naughty lips. "Why did you come, hm? I asked you to wait at the villa. Did you get sick?"

"I happened to be eating here. And my chest was tight when I accidentally saw you guys making out. I was jealous," Greg answered honestly.

"Possessive, eh?"

"More than that, El. I don't like how close you guys are."

"Remember your status, Greg. You're just my contract boyfriend. Don't overdo the feelings. You'll be disappointed."

"I don't care."

"You're stubborn."

Remembering that her in-laws were waiting for her, Elea immediately grabbed Greg by the neck and kissed him on the lips. And this is probably the craziest thing she has ever done in her life. Kissing another man while her ex-husband was waiting outside the bathroom. It was nerve-wracking, but challenging.

"How's this? I can't stand it," Greg said as the kiss broke. His lips were numb. Elea was more dominating this time, and he liked it. Greg liked that she was aggressive.

"We can't do this now. It won't be funny if I come back with my clothes all messed up,"

"Do it as neatly as possible. I promise I won't ruin your look. Okay?"

"I can't, Greg. I have to get back soon. Later ....

Knock knock knock

"Elea, what took you so long. Are you okay inside?"

Greg swore softly when he heard Luis' voice. As for Elea, this woman was laughing. Damn it.

"Wait for me at the Villa. That night we failed to do it in the bath-up. You think of a way for me to be satisfied making love to you in that cramped place. Okay?"

Cup

Elea rushed out of the bathroom after leaving a sweet peck on Greg's lips. What had been a bad mood suddenly turned into a happy one after their encounter.

"Why are your lips so red?" Luis asked in surprise. Like someone who had just finished kissing. But who did Elea do it with? In the bathroom too.

"Of course they're red. Look!" she replied, holding her lipstick up to Luis' eyes.

"O-oh, okay. There's no need to get angry."

Walking out first, Elea couldn't stop smiling. If Luis knew the exact cause of her lips turning red, who knows how this bastard would react. Haha.

(Didn't expect my contract boyfriend to be so dangerous. Greg, wait for me dear)
