All Chapters of Seducing Mr Thompson : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

When they arrived at the office, Andrew was busy giving instructions to his manager, who nodded and adjusted his glasses from time to time. Astrid stood by Andrew's side, waiting patiently until he finished. She observed the way Andrew commanded respect from his employees, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of the unease that seemed to surround her."Let's go," Andrew said, his voice firm and commanding. Astrid surprised him by slipping her small fingers into his hand. Andrew was pleased, despite the unexpected gesture. He held her hand because it wasn't something that happened often. Most of the time, Astrid was moody being with trust issues.As they walked into the office, the room fell silent, followed by loud whisperings. Astrid caught a glimpse of Kimberly's face, and her smile grew as she saw the jealousy written all over it. But Astrid didn't let Kimberly's animosity bother her; Andrew was a much bigger problem.The tension in the room was palpable, and Astrid could feel t

As she got home, Astrid walked in boldly. Everyone, including Claudia, observed the change in her mood. She wasn't the calm Astrid anymore; she was the brave and bold and domineering Astrid. Her heels clicked on the floor, making a distinct sound as she walked. The way she gave orders made Claudia stand on her toes each time she spoke."Claudia, come prepare the bath water," Astrid said, her voice firm. "I want to take a bath." With that, she walked swiftly into her room, leaving Claudia to follow her instructions.Astrid decided to stay up all night to carry out her plan, and as expected, Andrew didn't come home at his usual time. He was always back by eleven PM, but now it was already 3:30 AM, and he was still not back. Astrid kept herself occupied while waiting, but at different intervals, Claudia would come to remind her to go to bed. Each time, Astrid would wave Claudia off, saying she was waiting for Andrew.As the minutes ticked by, Astrid's mind began to reel back to her enc

Astrid pulled up to Blue Oysters, the neon lights of the sign casting a glow over the crowded parking lot. She drummed her fingers on the steering wheel. Wondering if Andrew would show up?She grew impatient as she waited, her eyes scanning the parking lot for any sign of Andrew's car. And then, suddenly, there he was - pulling into the lot in his sleek black sedan, John riding with him as always.Astrid's heart skipped a beat as she watched Andrew step out of the car, his eyes scanning the crowd with a mixture of caution and curiosity. He didn't seem to notice her, and she breathed a sigh of relief as he disappeared into the throng of people.She took a deep breath, steeling herself for what was to come. She had to be careful - if Andrew spotted her following him, she'd blow her chances of uncovering whatever secrets he was hiding. Astrid slipped out of her car and entered into the crowd, her eyes fixed on the door Andrew had disappeared through.As she pushed her way through the pac

"Whoever has the most losses is out. Do we all know who that is?" Mr Connor's face fell as the old man spoke, "Mr Connor, please exit the game.""Don't let me repeat myself again," the man said sternly, and Mister Connor stood up. "What about my property? a... and my share... my everything?""You staked it and you lost it, so it's ours," the old man said. "But I can win it back, I'm sure...."The steward beckoned some bouncers to escort Mr Connor out of the room."How much do you have to stake?" the old man asked Astrid. Astrid smiled as she took Mr Connor's seat. "I like to start small, so how about hundred million?"The old man let out a laugh. "It's quite small but it's okay. Since you are a beginner, I'm staking my shares at the Broadview Hotel and two hundred million.""Oh, you are trying to intimidate her," one of the men said, puffing on his cigarette and laughing.As the game progressed, Astrid won the last two rounds. Her face beamed with smiles due to the amount of money she

"Get me my whip now," Mr Reeds commanded, his wrist raised in a gesture of authority.Lisa quickly moved to obey, rushing to the table to retrieve the whip. She handed it to Mr Reeds, who raised it, ready to strike Bryan.But Brian was faster. He snatched the whip from Mr Reeds' hand, his movements swift and decisive."I'm done with all this," Brian said, his voice firm and resolute. He took a deep breath, letting his words hang in the air."I'm done trying to please you," he continued, his voice steady. "Done trying to be your son, to be the son you always wanted."Brian's words were laced with a sense of finality. "I am done," he said, his voice unwavering.With a swift motion, Brian threw the whip into the fireplace. The flames engulfed the leather, and the sound of it burning filled the room.Brian turned his back on his father and walked away, leaving Mr Reeds standing alone. The sound of the whip burning seemed to symbolize the end of Brian's attempts to seek his father's approv
