《The President's Darling》全部章節：第 41 章 - 第 50 章

Half an hour later, an empty lunchbox lay atop the table in the office. It was the one Summer always brought for James.It was squeaky clean.After taking a cup of coffee, he had to continue working. Right when he was going to ask Charlie, who was outside, to send her home, the door was opened.A man barged in with heavy steps. "Jamie." It was a flirty tone.The young man in a floral shirt grew his hair that reached his shoulders. His actions were untrammeled.Once his eyes fixated on James, he bulldozed in that direction. "Jamie! You're here! Are you free tonight?""No, Bradly.""What could possibly make you busy? I bet it's unnecessary work again. Why don't you put it off for a moment and keep me company?"Bradly tried to drag James away without a care of James' will. However, his weak strength didn't allow him to have it his way.Releasing James, Bradly sighed. "Mr. Workaholic, all you know is to work round the clock. You'll die of over-exhaustion one day."Only then did

Birds of a feather flocked together. People of similar kinds hung out together.Bradley had a messy personal life, yet she found that he was on good terms with James."Do you think that Bradly's a good guy or a bad guy?" It was a blunt question from Summer, but it put Charlie in a difficult position.People had all different kinds of sides, making it difficult for one to judge if they were actually good or bad.Summer appeared quite naive to Charlie. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked such a question.He answered honestly, "I think Mr. Walsh is a good guy. His private life is kinda messy, but he's a righteous person. When he found a kid lost his way, he sent the kid home.""Is that so …" She caressed her chin as her eyelids flickered. In fact, those questions were asked so that she could figure out if Bradly was a safe person to be with.Becoming an innocent lamb waiting to be swallowed up by a wolf was the last thing she wished for.After having a series of questions answere

"A heart of steel?" Summer was stunned, not understanding Bradly's words.When she thought about it, she figured that Bradly was referring to James.From day one, she noticed that James never smiled. It was always that same old deadpan expression on his face and that cold disposition. Not to mention that he was a man of few words.If she had never interacted with him, she would've thought that he was a robot.However, based on how Bradly described James, it was possible that there was more. It wasn't as simple as not smiling."Mr. Hayes, you sound very surprised that he's married.""I am! He has never shown interest in women since the day we met each other. I took him to clubs, but he only drinks. He doesn't touch the ladies," he responded with certainty.Summer couldn't understand how he could say that with confidence. When she gave it a thought, she sensed something off.Perhaps James had a secret kept untold?She wondered, "Is James really devoid of sexual desire? Or is h

James' feelings and intention of using Summer as a tool had nothing to do with her.She was grateful that he helped her out, and as a repayment of his favor, she became his wife.If he genuinely liked her, it would be better, but if he turned out to be devoid of sexual desire, it wouldn't be bad to maintain as a married couple, too.However, that was what Bradly wanted.Frustrated, he flung his hair and sighed. "Summer, we are curious about what's on James' mind. You can be the key to making him open up to people."She didn't care about being the key to making James open up to people, but she definitely sensed something fishy.Bradly kept using first-person plural pronouns when he mentioned the test. That meant there were other people behind this, too!"How many are there?""What?" he questioned back."You said 'We.' I bet you're not the only person who wants to know the answer to your question. There are more." She hit right at the bulls-eye.Only then did he realize that it

It turned out there was another person behind this!Summer didn't know who Keith was, but that name sounded familiar. She just couldn't remember the face at the moment.At the same time, a voice of an icy tone resounded.A good-looking man showed up in front of Summer. Judging from his features, she guessed that he was a foreigner. His cold disposition was totally different from that of James'.James' cold demeanor was merely directed at strangers, but this man brought the meaning of "destruction" to life. His eyes were so dangerously mesmerizing that they could draw someone into the abyss.Zach and Bradly greeted simultaneously, "You're here, Keith."That was the person who came up with this plan!Summer thought that she was in a game; after beating off those minions, she finally confronted the final-round boss. Keith was literally a living monster due to his intimidating aura.However, it didn't scare her because he was also human. There was nothing to be afraid of.Sh
