Sean's breathing was heavy, too. He buried his head in Angeline's neck, unable to control his desire for her. He shut his eyes and held her tightly as if he could cause their bodies to merge. His embrace was so tight that it made her feel like she had a cobra wrapped around her."Sean…" she said. His embrace was starting to hurt.Sean didn't think it was enough. He felt it was far from satisfying his needs.The veins in Sean's hands protruded as he held Angeline tightly. He wanted her so badly. He felt like he could call her his only when he was buried in her. It seemed his possessiveness over her had grown again.Angeline wrapped her arms around his neck and said softly, "It hurts…"Sean immediately loosened his hold on her. He kept his eyes shut as he tried to suppress his almost twisted emotions."Do you find it hard to have faith in me because of my past relationship with Ned? Does it make you feel insecure?" she asked.At Angeline's words, Sean pursed his lips and tighten

"Oh, I'm not afraid of him," Angeline said with a smile. Despite Brayden's lackadaisical attitude, Sean evidently trusted him. She wouldn't think of anyone Sean trusted as her enemy, even if they didn't appear to be good. She didn't need to fear Brayden.Lara arrived at Glitz Cafe a few minutes earlier than Angeline did. When she saw Angeline, she pushed the proposal toward her and gestured for her to have a look.When Angeline saw that Lawson Global would only receive 20%, she didn't bother looking at the rest of the document. She laughed and said, "I wanted 50%, but you're only giving me 20%. This isn't how haggling is done, Ms. Lara. I don't think there's any need for us to waste our time anymore."She got up without even bothering to drink her coffee."I can only give you 25% at most. That's the most I can offer!" Lara's smile faded. After all, land No. 3 was in a very important location. "I can provide you with some extra benefits in private. It'll be off the record!"

"Yes, ma'am!" Jamie said. He sighed in relief as he watched Angeline leave. Then, he contacted Joe.As Angeline left Lawson Global's parking lot, Lenny glanced at her through the rearview mirror. He could tell she was trying to stay calm. He said, "Do you want something sweet to eat, Ms. Angeline? My girlfriend says eating something sweet will improve your bad mood.""You can tell I'm in a bad mood?" Angeline didn't look up from her phone."Your tone's the same as always, but… it's my first time seeing you look like this." Lenny smiled. "I've always felt you and Mr. Lawson are quite similar—you can put up a calm façade no matter what, and it feels like you're always in control. You can even smile when facing Mr. Green."Angeline looked up. Lenny's words made her realize that she and Sean were indeed becoming increasingly similar to one another. She smiled and said, "I think that's an exaggeration."She locked her phone and turned to look out the window with a small smi

Angeline picked up her coffee and looked at the drafts on the table. She smiled slightly. When word would get out about her instruction to have Lawson Global call off all projects with Ingrid, she'd probably soon get a call from Simon.Most people in Krontos knew about Ned and Angeline's past. Now that Angeline, the vice president of Lawson Global, had personally given the order to stop all collaborations with Ingrid, the general public would think she was getting revenge and trying to boycott Ingrid.The rumors spread quickly. When Ingrid's agency received the news, all the paparazzi could smell a bloodbath coming. Soon, someone dropped the bomb about Ned and Angeline's past. Ingrid's agency and studio did their best to keep things from going viral.Angeline had just stepped out of the conference room. She hadn't even gotten the chance to speak to Sean when Simon called her. She glanced at Sean and waved her phone. "I need to answer this. Let's have lunch together. I've already i

"Hi, Ms. Dalton. I'm Helen Lawson. You might not have heard of me before, but I'm Lawson Global's chairman's niece. I'm considered the cousin of Lawson Global's president, Sean Lawson, and Angeline's… aunt," Helen said.Ingrid tensed at the mention of Angeline. "Why are you calling me?""I was in contact with Mr. Fletcher before this, and we were talking about working together. But I've just received news of Fletcher Corporation's bankruptcy, and I can't reach Mr. Fletcher now."I had no choice but to call you, hoping that I could reach him through you. I just need an answer from Mr. Fletcher regarding our continued collaboration." Helen sounded gentle and friendly. It would easily leave one with a good impression.Still, Ingrid exercised caution. "It isn't convenient for Ned to come to the phone now. I'll pass on your message when I see him later.""Alright. Please do ask him to call me when you see him. Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to work with someone else," Helen s
