Julissa mumbled under her breath and gave Scott a pitiful look, hoping for just a little sympathy from her CEO boyfriend.Scott stepped closer, frowning. “I never said I’d dock your pay. Why do you look like I bullied you?”His tone was still cold, and his expression wasn’t great, but his gaze had softened.Julissa knew it—the big boss wasn’t really mad.Her mood instantly brightened. She flashed a playful smile, wrapped her arms around his, and shook it gently. “Then thank you for your mercy, Mr. Nichols!”Scott couldn’t help but smile. He leaned in and murmured, “Once we get to the office, don’t act this spoiled.”There was a teasing threat in his voice, laced with a deeper, more dangerous intent.Julissa blinked at him, fearless. “Or what?”Scott narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered in her ear, “Then I’ll finish what we didn’t last night… in the office. I’d love to see Miss Hickman take responsibility for that.”Julissa’s brain short-circuited. This man… in broad daylight… just

Scott raised an eyebrow and glanced at her before picking up the document for a quick review."Alright, I'll take a closer look later."He checked his watch. "It's lunchtime. Bring my meal to the office—I won't be going to the cafeteria.""Yes, Mr. Nichols. What would you like to eat?" Julissa responded with a professional smile."I thought Miss Hickman knew my preferences." Scott gave her a deep look.But Julissa remained serious. "Understood, Mr. Nichols. I'll prepare it now."With that, she turned and left the CEO’s office.Ten minutes later, she returned with the meal, including the one Yvette had prepared for him.Scott was on a call at the time. She placed the food down, and he gave her a nod.Without saying anything, Julissa turned and left.Once he finished his call, Scott looked at the meal on the coffee table and let out a helpless chuckle.He picked up his desk phone and dialed Julissa’s number.She answered quickly. "Mr. Nichols, is there something else?""So now you're no

Tyler froze, his face turning red as if he found it difficult to say out loud.“It’s just… people are saying that you got this job by using your looks… that you and Mr. Nichols…”Julissa blinked. “So, you’re saying everyone thinks I’m really beautiful?”Tyler, a true science and engineering nerd, was clearly unprepared for this turn in the conversation.Scratching his head, he muttered, “You… you are very pretty…”Hearing that, Julissa happily took another bite of her cake.Tyler added earnestly, “Don’t worry, no matter what others say, I believe in you!”Julissa let out an awkward laugh. “Uh… thanks.”Well, this is awkward. She and Scott did have something going on, but she couldn’t exactly admit that—especially since Scott hadn’t made any move to make it public.The conversation was getting uncomfortable. She didn’t even feel like finishing her cake anymore and was about to excuse herself when her phone rang.A quick glance—it was the CEO’s office calling. She picked up immediately.

Julissa’s mind went blank for a moment, unable to recover from the shock. All her emotions were being led by him, making it impossible to think clearly.When Scott’s kisses trailed down to her neck, Julissa gasped for air, finally regaining some oxygen. Her mind cleared up a little.What was this? During the day, he was the cold and fierce CEO, making her tremble in fear. Now, he had switched back to being her boyfriend, leaving her equally flustered.She pushed Scott away weakly and muttered, “One moment you’re a cold-blooded CEO, the next you’re a possessive boyfriend. Aren’t you afraid of developing a split personality, Mr. Nichols…?”The word "cold-blooded" made Scott sigh. “When have I ever made things difficult for you?”“You made me do all those reports!”“Did I really make you do them?”Wasn’t it just because another man invited her for coffee that he found an excuse to call her back?Hearing this, Julissa froze for a second.In reality, she had only glanced at a few pages bef

Julissa stole a glance at Scott.He looked perfectly composed, serious as ever.Sensing her gaze, he lowered his head and whispered into her ear, his voice gentle, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll give you time to think. I won’t force you until you completely trust me.”Warmth spread through Julissa’s heart. But the moment his deep, magnetic voice reached her ears, her entire body felt weak.She seriously suspected that while he claimed to wait for her consent, he was subtly seducing her at the same time.—At the apartment door, Scott scanned his fingerprint to unlock it.“I’ll add your fingerprint later. Come in first.”“Oh.”Julissa stepped inside as Scott placed her luggage down and took her hand, leading her on a tour.He called it a "small apartment," but in reality, it was a spacious three-bedroom unit.One of the rooms was a gym—so big that she could easily use it as her dance studio.Such a nice place sitting empty? Compared to her own miserable situation of being kicked out by her lan
