Semua Bab She's Moved on With Someone New: Bab 131 - Bab 140

After Alanna finished speaking, Hades laughed quietly with scorn and disdain. He asked, "Do you think you have the right to discuss the terms with me, Ms. Jacinto?"Alanna met his gaze. "You said we could talk about it, didn't you? I thought I did have the right."Hades' gaze fell on her fair, tender earlobes. She was just a weak, fragile woman, yet she'd go against him over such trivial matters.Anger surged within him. Grabbing her by the waist, he leaned closer and bit hard on her earlobe.Alanna felt a sudden pain in her earlobe. Hades' voice reached her from right beside her ear immediately after."Are you proposing those terms because you're still thinking of going over to help that Shane guy?" His voice was frosty.Alanna knew he was furious, but she didn't deny it. Indeed, she wanted to help Shane.It wasn't only because she had promised him and didn't want to go back on her word, but it was also because of the money and wanting to have her own career.Career aside, the

"Drive safely, Mr. Florentine."Hades arched an eyebrow at her.Then, he passed her his necktie. "You should do more than just sweet talk," he said.Alanna took it. After a moment of silence, she still went over and put it on for him.Then, just as she backed down, Hades abruptly grabbed her around the waist.His gaze fell on her collarbone, which was now more pronounced due to her weight loss. "You're too thin; you should eat more," he remarked.Alanna nodded casually. "Sure."However, Hades showed no signs of letting her go. She frowned and was about to ask if there was anything else he needed when he suddenly lowered his head.His warm lips pressed against hers. He broke through her defenses and deepened the kiss.It wasn't until Alanna started struggling that he released her. She gasped for breath.Hades chuckled and wiped her lips with his finger. "Call me if anything's up."Alanna dodged his finger and agreed. "Sure."When he saw her attempt at avoiding him, he pulled

Terrence instantly lost all patience. "Just pretend you never saw anything, Mr. Lawson."Terrence shoved Shane aside and approached Alanna once again.Shane quickly signaled to the others. "Call the cops."Terrence smirked. "Mr. Lawson, do you still want to make a living in Jagersville?"Shane laughed. "Of course I do. But I can't just watch as something like this takes place in my firm, can I?"Terrence snorted. He'd never been at such a disadvantage. The slap, in particular, fed his anger the more he thought about it. How dare that bitch hit him?He grabbed Shane's collar. "I said you should pretend you saw nothing. Do you not understand me?"Shane remained calm and composed as he looked at Terrence. "I have surveillance cameras installed around here, Mr. Abbott."Terrence smirked and landed a punch on Shane's face. "So what if you do? I'll hit you all the same!"He was already frustrated recently, what with all sorts of troubles cropping up in his company. And now, Alanna a

Hades immediately raised his eyebrow.He smiled at Alanna, but he did not look happy."What do you have to say to me?"Alanna turned to look at Shane. "Mr. Lawson, please wait outside for a moment."Shane looked at Alanna with slight worry.However, Alanna only said, "It'll be quick."Shane looked at Hades and nodded in the end.After Shane left, Alanna looked up and met Hades' gaze."Mr. Florentine, Mr. Lawson has things he needs to do."Hades reached out to grab her hand instead. His slender fingers glided gently around her wrist.It was as if he was playing with a fun toy."So?"Alanna took a deep breath. "So, can you let Mr. Lawson leave?"Hades smiled."Ms. Jacinto, what are you so afraid of?"What was she afraid of?She was afraid that the nanny's fate would befall Shane.That nanny had been fired after merely upsetting Hades.So, if Shane were to make Hades livid, he might no longer have a career in Jagersville.She didn't think Shane should sacrifice himself

It was an anti-inflammatory cream for the private parts."I'm sorry. I was too excited and got a bit rough."Alanna looked uncomfortable but quickly returned to her polite and distant behavior."I can do it myself."Hades narrowed his eyes at her. "Are you sure you can do it yourself?"Alanna looked at the salve. "I'm sure."Hades did not hand the salve over to her. Instead, he pulled her toward him."Why are you being shy? It's not like I've never seen it before."Alanna looked uncomfortable.At the end of the day, there was still something between her and Hades.She could sleep with him as she was taking his money.But she did not want to do anything intimate with him."I really can do it myself."She wanted to take the salve, but Hades did not give it to her.She watched as Hades' expression darkened gradually, so she gave up.After applying the salve, Hades went to the bathroom to wash his hands."Rest for a while. There'll be some other medication for you to take l
