"You must be the less popular Castell, you didn't seem to be able to find anyone to mingle with at this party," Liam approached Adrian Castell from behind. The man turned around instantly at his words and scoffed when he realized it was Liam."So did you. The only Campbell who got invited," Adrian jested back."I talked with Aaron a bit just now," Liam went to stand beside him and offered to clink their drink glasses together, as a sign of affinity. Adrian just went along with it and then they sipped on their drinks while staring at the exact same spot, Sandra and her friends."She probably going to be my sister-in-law in the future. So I ought to come to her birthday party and make peace with her," Adrian remarked."Are you sure? Has Aaron introduced her to your family?""Not yet. Actually, he didn't really seem to give much thought to dating this woman... I mean, he had his entire focus on the company development, I don't think he had the time to date around.""So, why do you think
"Why? Is this your first time?" He looked deeply into her eyes with his charming dark grey eyes.His warm breath breezed across her face and it sent a sensual feeling down her heart.Kathleen Jones felt her head was slightly dizzy. Probably because she was drunk. She only drank two glasses of champagne at the party before. But why did she feel like her head was getting too heavy?She didn't even realize that she was now lying on a bed inside a hotel suite that belonged to her domineering arrogant indifferent boss, Mr Aaron Castell."You still have a chance to say no," Aaron spoke intimidatingly.His hands ran across her body, touching her tiny waist, her slender legs, and her tempting thighs. This woman had been his secretary for two months now. Unlike his previous ones, this particular woman was so different. She wasn't the seducing type."I saw someone spiked your drink just now at the party. I think that man had an ill intention on you. D
"Boss?" She was truly stunned.She looked forward again, didn't dare to make a sound, in fear of waking up the man that was still sleeping soundly.The comforter was only covering his lower body, revealing his sexy chest and his bulging six-pack abs. Any woman who saw it would surely turn insane. Kathleen was no exception, yet the pain that she felt down there was enough to stop her venereal desire."No... It can't be. I must be mistaken. It's not boss..." she murmured in denial. She glanced at him again and once again was sure it was him. Yet, her mind still couldn't accept the fact."He probably had a twin brother. Or maybe it was just someone else who looks like him," she began to create some unreasonable excuses to support her negation.Her eyes suddenly caught sight of a man's wallet on the bedside table. She took it immediately and checked the identity card of the owner. That wallet must belong to the man on the bed, she was sure of it.
Kathleen tried to remember last night party event again. The only man that approached her last night was Rodney Shaw, her ex-boyfriend. She found him cheating on her three months ago and so she broke up with him immediately. She had gotten over that man, yet he kept pestering her. Last night, the Shaw Corporation was one of the invited guests. Rodney's father, Roland Shaw was the chairman of the company. Rodney must have come together with his father to the event."Rodney Shaw?" She mentioned the name."Rodney Shaw? Shaw? Like from Shaw Corporation?" Aaron knitted his eyebrows. The woman just nodded, concurring his words."I only know Roland Shaw from Shaw Corporation. He's the chairman.""That's his father," Kathleen explained."I see..."They both went silent. Aaron was thinking why Rodney spiked Kathleen's drink last night. Meanwhile, Kathleen was thinking why Aaron asked her about Rodney so suddenly."What about him?" She asked af
"Girlfriend?" Kathleen was shocked.Before Aaron could continue his words, the doorbell of the suite dinged."Room service," a male voice from outside said loudly.Aaron walked to the door and opened it. The hotel manager himself was the one that brought in the breakfast meal. He served the meal on a square dining table at the right corner of the living area. After that, he excused himself from the suite."Come here," Aaron beckoned Kathleen to sit at the dining table.She obediently obeyed him and sat in front of him. A mouth-watering English breakfast meal was served on the table. Looking at the food, her stomach started to growl. The sound that her stomach made was too loud that Aaron heard it as well. Their gazes met and awkwardness suddenly filled the air.'Should I talk first or should I tell her to eat first?' He wondered."Oh, please let me eat first. I don't even get to eat much last night because of the incident,' she was ho
Rodney glared at him for interrupting. Then, he disregarded Aaron like he didn't exist. He looked at Kathleen again and tried to kiss her forcefully. Yet, seeing the danger of his action, Aaron quickly grabbed Kathleen away from him."Oh, no no no. That's not a way to treat a lady, Mister," Aaron mocked him. The people around them began to give disgusted looks at Rodney."Who are you? This is my private matter with her. Stay out of our business!" Rodney got annoyed that he was stopped by that strange guy.The man was wearing a grey suit and looking noble with domineering temperance. Rodney just assumed that he was one of the people who worked inside the company. Maybe just one of the directors. So, what? He was also a director himself inside Shaw Corporation."Her matter is my matter as well. Whether it's private or not," Aaron said coldly.Rodney stared at Kathleen who was hiding behind Aaron. Just then, his mind got the hunch."Was he the
"Whatever. You're harassing my employee and making a ruckus in front of my company, Mr Shaw. So either you leave now or I'll call the police," Aaron threatened him to make him leave."Fine. I'll go for now, Kathleen. But I'm not going to let this go so easily. Just imagine how your father would react if he found out his daughter was working inside his competitor's company. Do you think he will just let you off the hook? Your fate is sealed anyway. It's either you married someone from any affluent family or you'll be nothing and getting nothing. But it can't be Castell. You knew it better than me. It's up to you if you wanted to destroy your life with your own hand," Rodney didn't miss the chance to threaten Kathleen before he left. He entered a red Porsche car and drove off leaving the scene in an instant."What did he mean by that? Why are you not allowed to marry someone from Castell's family?" Aaron asked Kathleen as soon as Rodney left."I don't know what he
"It's fine," Aaron answered a bit cold."Let's order some food first," Sara said casually, ignoring the indifferent gesture given by Aaron.Aaron was a Castell after all, so she was just going to let him slide. She was determined to endure it and just put up with his behaviour. Tonight, she must own this man.Who didn't want to be the woman of the future Chairman of Castell Corporation, the leading corporate company inside that country? Even now, Aaron was already the Chairman of Aeroxx Corporation, the third leading corporate company, let alone when he inherits his father's company later, he would become the wealthiest man in Country H by then. The woman who managed to become his spouse would be the luckiest woman in the country, and Sara was determined to be that woman.The waiter took their orders and left. While waiting for the food, the couple chatted a little. But each time Sara asked him a long question, Aaron would answer only with one or two word
