The five-star hotel in Los Angeles was full of celebrities. Tonight was the engagement feast for the MF Enterprise's Mark Fisher and Stiles Group second daughter, Samantha Stiles.
" Mark?... Which room is it?" Before the wedding ceremony, Samantha was dizzy and left the banquet hall.Samantha pressed a phone to her ear as she walked out of the hall, on a call to her fiancee."6607." Mark's voice was cold on the phone, as if he had held back the love he had for her in the past."Evelyn has asked me that are you trying to give me a surprise before our engagement?" Samantha's cheeks were covered with a cute pink blush, and her little face flushed from the drinking. "...Do you want me to be yours first? But our first time should be saved until we get married. Anyway, we waited for two years. " Samantha continues, her voice slightly slurred, obviously she was tipsy."I'm not kidding you, come up quickly."Mark hung up.Couldn't he wait for getting her, so impatient...Samantha blinked. She was only 20 years old. Could this be...It shouldn't matter, anyway, he'll be her fiancé soon, right? She still loved Mark.Samantha staggered down the hotel corridor. Her delicate and beautiful face was slightly drunken. She was wearing a short champagne-gold colored dress with sloping shoulders and a slight v cut by the neckline.Charming and cute."Strange, I didn't drink much at all..." She patted her forehead, her vision gradually blurring.She waves her hand in front of her face as if to clear her head and eyes by doing that, but it is to no avail.In the banquet hall, she had not intended to drink, but just now, Mrs. Stiles insisted that she go and drink a little with the guests, friends, and some famous people and handed her a flute of champagne.When she walked into the elevator, Samantha dazedly pressed the number key on the sixth floors, but in her drunken state, didn't know she pressed the eighth floor.The 8th floor of the hotel, the VVIP floor.After Samantha got out of the elevator, she went straight to the room where Mark had told her. Unable to tell 8 and 6 clearly apart, she came to room 8807, she raised her little fist and knocked on the door."Come in." A man's low voice came from inside.Just those two words were enough to stir women's hearts.Samantha pushed open the door and went in. She laughed in fascination, "Mark, when did your voice become so deep and manly like smooth honey? your voice wasn't that deep before. But I love the way it sounds now"The room in front of her was not lit, but she could vaguely see the outline of the luxurious furniture and the oversized bed, a presidential suite.The air in the room was filled with the scent of a man's powerful cologne."Mark..." After she closed the door behind her, she collapsed on the super large and comfortable bed. "Where are you?"She couldn't help but feel hot. The heat made her uncomfortable.Samantha tugged at her clothes...There was a rush of water from the bathroom. After a while, a tall and handsome figure walked out.In the dim vision, the man was wearing a bathrobe, and his open chest could be seen with the lines of beautiful and distinct pectoral muscles, and crystal water droplets fell from it.In front of Samantha stood a man who was suffocatingly handsome and terribly easy on the eyes.In the darkness, the man looked at the woman with brown eyes and his voice was deeply sweet."Who are you?""Hot..." Samantha's pink lips parted slightly, "I want to undress..."After the glass of wine her adoptive mother gave her just a little bit ago, her entire body seemed to be heating up, and now her consciousness was gradually starting to grow unclear.The man put the towel away and pulled her arm. "Get up, you're in the wrong room—""Mark... My man" Samantha put her arm around the man's neck and laughed. 'I'm here now... You are responsible for me tonight."The man was suddenly pulled by her, taken aback by her strength, he immediately put one hand beside her head, his figure almost covering her whole body.The light smell of wine rushed into his nose, carrying the sweet fragrance of a girl.This woman!Samantha only felt that she was hugging someone, and she could smell the clean and refreshing scent of the shower gel on his body."I'm very uncomfortable..." Samantha rubbed his body against her face comfortably, as if feeling his warmth. She felt much more comfortable at that moment.She closed her eyes happily and was ready to give herself to Mark on their engagement night. She and Mark had known each other for more than two years, and he had never forced her.This made her feel that she was loved and respected!On the day of their engagement, she suddenly did not want to reject him, she wanted to give him her whole body and keep the man as hers forever!The man was propped up on top of her, and the woman was clinging to him like a lost kitten, and rubbed her body against his unconsciously.He endured the uneasy woman and called his secretary, "There's no need to send the meeting documents here. I'll go directly to the company tomorrow."In the dim presidential suite, after the man hung up, he whispered in her ear, "Woman, you said this, don't regret it later."...The next day, the sun shone through the hotel screens."Mmm..."Samantha frowned, her mouth wriggled a little, and she went back to sleep after adjusting her position on the bed.Claude looked at the woman on the bed. She was sleeping very childishly. She tightly hugged the quilt that was wrapped around her and put her small frame in a very weird but E shape.Her pure white skin looked like roses blooming in the spring. Everyone who saw her body could imagine what happened last night. There was a pale red butterfly birthmark on the back of her shoulder, which was very beautiful.Claude had just returned from abroad yesterday. But due to jet lag, he'd planned to stay at the hotel for one night. On the way, he asked his secretary to bring the meeting documents over, but he did not expect this rash and cute little woman to break into his room.He was a man who prided himself with his strong self-control, but last night, he was provoked by a strange woman. Now that he could see clearly, he realized that this woman was unexpectedly looking pure and innocent. She had shoulder-length short curly hair and long black eyelashes which she had fluttered at him the night before. Cute and playful.Looking at Samantha on the bed, Claude took out a piece of her ID card from her handbag and took a peek at it.Samantha Stiles?"I'll be at the company in half an hour..." He called his secretary. "Go check the woman named Samantha Stiles and give her some money."This could be considered as compensation for last night. After all, this woman was very beautiful, so he did not lose.After explaining to the secretary, Claude picked up his suit jacket behind Samantha's body on the bed."...hmmm... Mark." Samantha called out in her sleepy stateClaude paused for a moment, then narrowed his eyes. Mark?His eyes suddenly fell on the birthmark behind her shoulder. His eyes darkened. He donned his suit jacket and left the presidential suite.A small tie clip with a platinum lion's head fell from his clothes and was left on the bed.His initials, C.W., were engraved on it.Taylor’s eyes is pretty fixated on their entwined hands, and subconsciously, Claude subtly tightens his grip to show his possessiveness to both women.“What a coincidence,” Taylor starts, recovering first. “Nice to meet you both here, who would have thought.”“Yes, but is it indeed a coincidence?” Samantha expresses, her eyes twinkling.Taylor simply spares her a single glance full of disgust before her eyes goes back to Claude, a whole three hundred and sixty change in the expression becoming one of interest, maybe more than there should be between a man and the sister of his to-be wife.“If you do not mind me prying into your business, why are you here at the police station?” Claude inquires, the shadow of ignorance missing from his eyes because he knows very damn well why she’s there but he’s not about to reveal his card, at least not immediately.“Oh, I had a friend who was detained for… err… Drunk driving, I came to pick up her bail but I need some specific things to be able to d
With the driver perspiring subtly by the time he pulls into the driveway, Claude resists the urge to chuckle.“Thank you, you can have the remaining day off, I seem to have put some pressure on you.”The driver turns to look at him with relief in his eyes as Claude gets out of the car.“Thank you sir.”He responds with a wave of his hand as he sees a single bag out on the steps, he lifts it along with him and goes inside, of course, Samantha knows the passcode to the front door.“Samantha?” He calls out in the living room, looking around but there’s no sound and she’s nowhere to be found. He sets the bag down and goes to have a peep out the back, in the kitchen, looks around the surroundings but she’s just not there.He picks up the phone and dials her number, the faint ringing comes from upstairs and he follows the sound, coming to a stop in front of the room she had slept in the first and last time she had come over.Claude knocks softly on the door, no response, he opens it a crack
“Mr. Sharma,” Claude starts, returning to the seat he had stood up from earlier. “Nice to meet you, I quite remember your interview. You were confident and exceptional, even laughed a few times in the thick pressure. I personally agreed for you to come to my company but…”Dylan’s shoulder’s drop on hearing that interjectory word that always means that something negative is about to be said.“…What I did not see coming is the fact that you are quite loyal too. I know fully well that she must have called me a jerk and possibly even the a-hole word but…” Claude chuckles at the end of the unfinished sentence.Dylan’s head snaps up, relief evident in his eyes.“And for that, I’d love to give you something, or tell you something that I have not told anyone yet, well, because you seem to be a loyal friend to Samantha. Or I should keep my exclusive gist to myself?” Claude inquires, raising an eyebrow, testing him subtly.“If you don’t mind me asking sir, is it about Samantha?”Claude nods. “O
The weekend practically rolls past with no incidents and then came Monday, Claude got to work a little bit earlier than he normally does, the plan for the day quite steeper than normal since there are some pending issues to be attended to.He takes his elevator to the top to meet it empty, no one is at work yet, and it’s still fairly early so it’s forgivable. He settles at his desk and immediately goes back to the video he had received from Elena on the last working day of the week before.He rewatches it three times in a row and each time he does, he only gets angrier and angrier, she was humiliated, they dared to touch his woman, and even though they did not know, whatever could she have done to deserve such a hostile treatment from fellow co-workers?He sets the phone down, his fists clenched.He had not heard a word from her since Saturday when he dropped her off at home, and even though he had tried to reach her, his efforts had been futile.He’ll pay her a visit after work but b
When his car finally pulls up in front of her shared apartment with Renee, the silence already got burdening but neither of them decided to break it.“Thank you for the ride.” Samantha mutters as she pulls softly on the door’s handle.“Wait.” Claude suddenly says, his brows somewhat furrowed together, not enough to be a frown though. “You said you don’t want to be someone’s special lie? I completely respect that but to me, you are no lie. There are many coincidences in life, admittedly, but this…?” He entwines his hand with hers and pulls it up till it’s her eye level, “Being able to touch me at will when not even my own grandfather can? That makes you more than ordinarily special to me, you are not a special lie and even if we are about to tell a lie for a year, you are my only special lie.”Her stomach drops.“I’ll go inside now.”He nods but she makes no move to leave. He raises one eyebrow at her and she glances at his hands, still holding hers quite firmly.“Oh.” He lets go hesi
It is nothing short of a fun time.Samantha and Gramps keep trying to outdo one another on the tennis ground and as the time wear on, both of them get weary.“I’m done. If I do one more set, my knees will give way.”Samantha chuckles, breathing heavily but still trying to not show it because she is apparently the one losing. “If you throw in your racket, it means you accept defeat. Do you agree?”Gramps flings the racket her way but it does not even reach half the distance between them. “You are just like my prickly grandson, not willing to accept that you’re the loser and will even resort to cheap tricks to win.”Samantha laughs as she runs over to him, supporting him till they both walk back to the hanging umbrella where refreshments have been set out and Claude sits, laughing over a glass of half empty wine.“How rude of you Claude, you watched a woman support your own grandpa to his seat?”Claude raises one eyebrow as he set down the glass in his hands. “I am not sure you’re worth
