Celine couldn’t do anything when Daniel reasoned out like that.She ended up sharing the same bed that night and the nights that followed.They haven’t received the summon from Clint Solomon so they went on with their lives even for just a week.One afternoon Daniel called her to his office for a briefing.“We have a video conference with one of our clients abroad”“If the deal is successful, I will assign the project to you” Daniel said casually and handed her the company profile.“I’m assuming they wanted us to handle their payroll and HR?” she studied the profile and immediately found the potential improvement.“But this is not game-related” she thought he wanted to keep different operations in different countries.“I’m slowly moving the base here. Let me handle the details”Daniel looked at her and could not help but smile.She

“Doesn’t matter, she got what she wanted” Daniel heaved a deep sigh.“Good story by the way, it’s just that you committed fraud” Linda challenged him.“Are you accusing me?” he asked back.“No. I’m telling you I know what you did” Linda warned him.“Do tell”“Roland Yates doesn’t sign with a black ink. His signature has a purple shade if you look closely.”“He makes his own ink and uses a special pen”“But as far as I know, that ink and pen is still in my vault” she looked at the man knowingly.“You got the strokes correctly, though”“Report me” he challenged.“No, of course not” Linda scoffed.“But I want you to stay away from Celine. You’re not good for her”“You know what, everyone is telling me to stay away from her, it

Celine instantly blushed.She tried to stand up but Daniel locked his hand on her hips.“I wasn’t” she quickly denied heaving deep controlled breaths.She started with a good intention but she enjoyed feeling his tight muscles she just kept on going.Is that considered seduction?“I thought so” Daniel said frankly.“Because you need to do more than that if you want control me” he raised his eyebrow to challenge her.“Since you’re not seducing me. My decision stays”“The secretary stays. You pick internally” Daniel nudged her off his lap she almost fell on the floor.“What?” her trick didn’t work?“I’m not repeating myself, C” he said in his reprimanding tone.Celine could not do anything.“You’re annoying” she said then left his office.Since there’s no changing D

Give her a week. We’ll see if she can stay or not” he said casually.

Brendan knew he said too much he just nodded.“12 weeks” he said proudly.“Man, I’m so excited. I cannot keep it to myself”“I’m going to be a father” he said excitedly.“Wow. Congratulations!” Daniel shook his friend’s hand again.“We cannot tell anyone yet. Especially not Celine. I’m not sure how she will take it” Brendan reminded him.When both men came out of the study, the ladies were still discussing the wedding.Daniel walked over to Linda’s side and gave her a protective hug.“It’s my turn now. You focus on your family” he whispered to her ears meaningfully.Linda just nodded in agreement.Celine was confused at their action.What are they talking about?“We won’t stay long. We still need to go back to the office” Daniel said after releasing Linda.“Can I
