Shaun stopped Halsey.She looked at him.After a moment, Shaun said, "Stop slapping her."He was telling Halsey not to strike Elise again. He was protecting her.Halsey pulled her hand back from Shaun's grip with force, then sneered, "Whatever you say."With that, she turned and walked away.Elise was ecstatic. She had purposely put on a show in front of Shaun, and she hadn't expected him to step up and protect her.She knew nobody could resist a young, sweet girl like her.Elise even felt a little grateful to Halsey—because of her, Elise had been able to get closer to Shaun.In truth, these past few days as Shaun's secretary, she was just that—a secretary. Shaun treated her strictly as an assistant. Besides work orders, they didn't have much contact.Besides, Shaun's personal secretary was still Martin. Elise hardly ever saw Shaun at the company.Outsiders thought she was lucky—being Shaun's female secretary sparked all kinds of rumors. But only Elise knew Shaun had no roma

Halsey was shocked. She looked at Shaun and blurted, "Shaun? Why are you here?"Shaun's voice was a little hoarse. "Who else did you think it was?"Halsey started, "I thought you were Jocelyn…"Then she realized Shaun's hand was still resting on her waist, even sliding down into a more private area. Her face instantly flushed bright red.Before, when she thought it was her maid, everything felt normal. But now, with Shaun there, she felt like her skin, covered in oil, was burning up."Get your hands off me!" Halsey said, cheeks burning.Shaun immediately pulled his hand back and stood up straight.Halsey sat up quickly, trying to fix her clothes. "Why didn't you say something when you came in? I was calling for Jocelyn!"Shaun looked at her, watching her panic as she tried to cover herself, and pressed his lips together. "Why are you so flustered?"Shouldn't she be? They were alone in the room, and the atmosphere was pretty charged."Please knock before coming in next time. T

Before long, Shaun's kisses moved from Halsey's lips to her cheek, then to her graceful neck, while his hands started wandering.Halsey opened her eyes and pushed him away sharply.Shaun's eyes were bloodshot with desire as he asked hoarsely, "What's wrong?""What are you trying to do? Didn't you say you didn't have any feelings for me? Didn't you say we were done?" Halsey said.Shaun looked at her. "I did say that, but you're the one teasing me! You're the one who tempted me!""I tempted you, and you just fell for it? So if I tease you, you can't say no?"Shaun said nothing. Deep down, she probably already knew the answer—why ask if she didn't want to hear it?Maybe she just wanted him to say it out loud so she'd feel better.He was just that kind of guy—if she twitched a finger, he'd fall right in."Cat got your tongue?" Halsey asked again.Shaun pulled her close and kissed her again.Halsey struggled, not cooperating.Shaun pinned her against the door, flipped her over s

Halsey looked up—Shaun was here.What was he doing here?Shaun strode over to stand right in front of her and Gilbert. His icy, sharp gaze locked onto Gilbert's hand, which was still gripping Halsey's arm tightly.Shaun sneered, "Mr. Greenwood, do you not understand English? Halsey told you to let go of her!"Gilbert smirked at him. "Maybe you don't understand women. This woman says no with her mouth, but her body wants it. Even though she's telling me to let go, she actually means she wants me to hold her tighter. Right, Halsey?"Halsey felt thoroughly disgusted. "You're crazy!""I'm giving you three seconds to let go of her right now," Shaun growled."You're ridiculous!" Gilbert said. "Who do you think you are, telling me how to handle things with Halsey? We're both single adults, and whatever we do is our business. You have no right to interfere!"Shaun stared Gilbert down, his eyes burning so fiercely it was like he was boring holes in Gilbert's face. "I do have a right. Ha

Maybe Halsey's gaze was too sharp—it caught Shaun's attention. He looked at her. "What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?"Halsey was stunned. Did he really not know why?She finally snapped, "You're a jerk!"This time, she didn't just think it—she actually said it out loud.She called him a jerk!Elise was shocked. "Why are you insulting Mr. Lane? You're so bold! You're the first person I've ever seen talk to him like that!"Halsey rolled her eyes. "What are you gonna do about it?"She shot Elise a sharp look. She figured the best way to deal with a pick-me like Elise was to drop the act and just go straight for the burn. Besides, Elise wouldn't dare talk back in front of Shaun because she wanted to play the weak and quiet damsel.Elise was furious, but didn't show it on her face. Instead, she looked at Shaun with fake hurt in her eyes. "Ms. Mallin is so stubborn!"Shaun looked at Halsey's face and suddenly let out a low, quiet chuckle.He laughed.Elise was
