Harper followed his gaze. Ahead lay a vast lawn, with a European-style villa at its center. Man-made lakes flanked it, giving the place a dreamlike, fairy-tale quality.

As the car pulled in, luxury vehicles lined the driveway—most of the guests had already arrived.

The doors opened, dazzling lights welcoming each arrival. Harper stepped out, instinctively clutching the high slit of her dress.

Ten-centimeter heels pressed into the soft carpet, and the servers greeted them with polite bows.

As expected, all eyes fell on her the instant she entered. Her breathing quickened.

A massive crystal chandelier above reflected off her pale, flawless skin. She looked ethereal, radiating a serene, almost cold allure that drew the gaze of everyone present.

Chase stood out among the crowd, speaking with a few wealthy magnates. In his limited-edition suit, he exuded a kingly dominance. Harper had to admit—it was hard to find a man finer than him.

    Harper sighed inwardly, once again cursing his unpredictable temperament. That night… she had regretted not letting him suffer a little more!Biting her lip, she spoke again. “I just… think the timeframe is too tight…”“Impossible,” he said, glancing at his watch. “I’ll be back no later than the day after tomorrow. That is the absolute deadline for submission.”Meeting his eagle-eyed gaze, she couldn’t find a reason to refuse and reluctantly nodded. “Alright.”With the task assigned, Chase abruptly ended the call, without a word of farewell.Harper stared at the dark screen, feeling defeated. She almost threw her phone in frustration—but miraculously, the video reconnected!This time, the other side wasn’t just Chase. It was a grand conference scene, and Chase, standing at the podium as a key guest, was about to speak.Dres

    Chase personally drove Harper back to her graduate apartment.On the way, he didn’t mention a word about everything that had happened last night.Harper felt a little nervous; after all, she remembered at least some of what she had done.“Last night… I’m sorry. I drank too much.”The man kept his eyes on the road, replying calmly, “Sorry for what?”Harper hesitated, touching her forehead, trying to hide her embarrassment. “Just… maybe I caused you some trouble…”He raised the corner of his mouth in a cold smile. “Not just trouble.”“Ah?”Before she could figure out what he meant, he braked sharply, turned to her, and his gaze darkened. “You were… completely worn out last night.”Hearing that… why did it sound so suggestive?He glanced at her again. “What wasn’t finished last night… we’ll cont

    Harper didn’t notice when dawn had arrived.She woke up parched and tried to roll out of bed to get some water.The bed shifted slightly, and a strong pair of arms wrapped around her from behind. She shivered, startled, but before she could turn, he pressed against her back.“Don’t move,” he murmured.His words were accompanied by the soft brush of his tongue near her ear, a faint, tantalizing sensation like listening to the ocean through a seashell as a child. Her body went electric; she couldn’t move, and when his lips traced her earlobe, she felt as if she was melting into water.“What are you doing?”Her voice was soft, almost pitiful.Chase’s eyes narrowed, a playful smile tugging at his lips. Seeing that she had regained consciousness, he decided to tease her further.“Once more.”“What?!” Harper felt as if struck by lightning.Last night… they&helli

    Chase had no choice but to close his eyes.Seizing the opportunity, the girl’s gaze roamed freely over him—from forehead to brows, to eyes, to the bridge and tip of his nose… finally landing on his alluring lips.“What I want... is—”Before she could finish, she suddenly leaned in and kissed him. Chase felt a jolt of heat on his lips and opened his eyes in surprise.She held him tighter, lips pressed against his, mumbling softly, “I want you… to kiss me.”He had intended to push her away, but when his hands rested on her waist, it was as if they were ensnared by a spider’s web—he couldn’t pull away, couldn’t resist. He could only surrender.Harper tasted his lips, lightly sweet, but she wasn’t satisfied. She boldly extended her tongue, teasing past his teeth. He resisted at first, but eventually, her passionate insistence broke through. When she bit his lip

    Slipping inside, she was immediately enveloped in a thick, steamy haze.Squinting, wishing she had eyes that could see through the mist, she searched… and finally spotted his tall silhouette.She inhaled sharply, heat rushing to her nose. Almost—she thought—enough to make her nose bleed.Chase’s sharp eyes narrowed, picking up the strong scent of alcohol on her breath. The mist barely obscured the bright, silly smile on her flushed face—he immediately realized she had drunk too much.Quickly, he grabbed a towel to cover himself. But before he could speak, a pair of slender, delicate arms wrapped around his waist.The man froze. Dark eyes, deep as ink, scanned the figure clinging to him.The arms belonged to Harper, who had stumbled over and hugged him, her warm face pressing against his broad, fair chest with a blissful smile.Her soft lips brushed him unconsciously, somewhere between a peck and a playfu

    The grand, brightly lit ballroom was filling up quickly. The cheerful music mingled with the lively chatter of the guests, creating a vibrant, festive atmosphere.Handsome waiters weaved through the crowd carrying trays of fine wine and gourmet dishes.As soon as Harper returned from the garden to the ballroom, an elegant gentleman approached her to make conversation.She smiled politely, exchanged a few words, and then slowly made her way toward a corner of the room, keeping an eye out for Zane.Suddenly, a familiar voice called out behind her, full of admiration.“Harper, you look absolutely stunning tonight!”Harper turned to see Camden in a sharp, stylish suit, standing behind her.He studied her carefully, eyes wide with genuine amazement.“Thank you,” she replied with a polite smile, unconsciously folding her hands over her chest.Camden could see through her shyness. He gave a small, knowing smile and nodded
