“This morning he will come!” Charlotte walked over to Valerie's table and whispered excitedly.“Who?” Valerie frowned.She just checked her phone and still no message from George. Was George so busy that he did not have time to contact her?“Manuel Alvaro!” Charlotte really couldn't hide her enthusiasm. “Did you know he just broke up with that Thailand model? Now he's single.”Valerie chuckled. “Even if he is single, the person who will fill the position of his girlfriend later is definitely not from among us.”Charlotte nodded her head in agreement while chuckling too. “Yeah, but I am excited to know that I can see him in person anyway. You know, all the news says he's so handsome, I want to see the real him.”“Seems just as handsome.” Valerie took a deep breath, then glanced at her phone again.Charlotte seemed to have noticed something was bothering Valerie. “Why, Val?”“I’m okay.”“Ah, come on, I see that in the last few minutes you've glanced

Manuel seems to be receiving their important guest, James Cliff, in his room. The news was blowing because since this morning there had been a rush at the office, many people were passing by to prepare everything.Well, Valerie still remembered the old man, who was carrying a line of bodyguards dressed the same with the same flat face as a robot. The contract with James is the most successful one their branch has ever signed, which is why having James in the office to meet Manuel is so important.Mr. McLean, Valerie's own immediate superior, seemed very busy. Valerie saw the stocky body of the foreigner pacing in his room, sometimes busy calling someone, sometimes looking for files. Until then, the man came out of the room.“Valerie!” the man called out, causing Valerie to immediately stand up.“Yes sir?”“Come here for a moment.”While adjusting her skirt, Valerie stepped out and entered Mr. McLean's room. The man was already sitting behind his desk and invi

Valerie was working on corrections to an important contract clause when she saw from the corner of her eye that Manuel was approaching her.“Busy, Valerie?” the man greeted casually.Valerie raised her head and sighed inwardly. Even though she had seen Manuel countless times, she still gasped as she looked directly into those beautiful blue eyes. This man was too handsome and dangerous, a creature like this should not be allowed to roam around and prey on defenseless girls.“I do my job as usual.” Valerie frowned when she realized that Manuel seemed to want to ask something. “Is there anything I can help?” she asked.Manuel nodded his head. “Every time I see you, I always think you are very similar to someone, but I have not been able to find who you look like.”“Maybe just an ordinary resemblance. It's said that all over the world we have nine twins with the same faces.” Valerie smiled, observing Manuel who looked very curious.Manuel took a deep breath. “That is right, but still it

“Why do not you want to tell me about your date?”Charlotte keeps trying to persuade Valerie to tell her date with Jose last night. However, Valerie refused to make a voice. The thought of Jose's kissing and then the man's pretentious claim afterward bothers her immensely. She wanted to forget all that, really.Last night, however, she slept with a hot body temperature every time she thought of Jose's kiss. How that man crushed her lips, how was his tongue…. Jeez. Valerie cursed herself silently. It seemed like she had turned into a pervert, with just one kiss.That man is really dangerous. Valerie should have known from the start, but she started playing with fire because she dared to try. It was all because Jose spread an attraction that Valerie could not resist, making her like a moth attracted to the candlelight, subconsciously burning herself to the point of scorch.“Valerie,” Charlotte started sulking. “Come on, tell me, you know I am really curious, right? Was the date a succes

That night Valerie felt those fingers touch the side of her neck, soft and warm. The touch was familiar, as familiar as the feeling it evoked. Valerie tingled straight from toe to head, feeling a passionate feeling tingle her mercilessly. She still closed her eyes as the warm body enveloped her, feeling so snug against her.Valerie felt herself half asleep. She then ran her fingers through the warm body that was pressing on her, tracing the tough muscles, wrapped in good and smooth skin; seductive, felt so steady in the squeeze of her fingers.On top of her was a very manly man. Valerie breathed in the distinctive male scent; the seductive aroma of wood combined pervaded all of her senses. Suddenly the man's lips caught up with her fingers, touching the side of her neck; it was hot and burning, sending out unexpected excitement signals.Valerie groaned as the man’s kiss progressed further down her jaw, down her cheekbones. A second after she felt a warm breath rush over her, his lips
