All Chapters of Plus-Size Secretary: A Contract Marriage with My Boss: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The thin morning sunlight slowly streamed through the gap in the curtains of the master bedroom, casting a golden glow across the marble floor. Hellena had been awake since before the clock struck six. Her curvy body moved in a steady rhythm, making no noise that could disturb the peace of the man still sleeping soundly on the king-size bed.As Kael's personal secretary who had worked by his side at Willian Group for five years, Hellena naturally knew every detail of her boss's preferences by heart. Without needing any instructions, she walked into the spacious dressing room and skillfully selected his clothes. Her fingers settled on a dark gray tailored suit, paired with a crisp white shirt made of smooth fabric and a silk tie adorned with subtle diagonal stripes in matching shades.Hellena returned to the bedroom and carefully placed the perfect combination of work attire at the foot of the bed, right beside Kael's feet. After finishing, her steps came to an abrupt halt. She stood m

"Mr. Kael?"A confused voice broke the silence that had suddenly frozen inside the master bedroom.Kael jolted violently, as if he had just been forcefully pulled back from an unimaginably deep abyss. His dark eyes blinked rapidly, struggling to regain focus after his vision had momentarily blurred. The moment his senses returned completely, the sight before him made his heart pound twice as hard, slamming painfully against his chest.Hellena was still standing right in front of him. Her small hands were still raised in the air, holding the knot of his gray tie at the collar of Kael's shirt while keeping a very proper distance. There was no bed, no body thrown backward onto the mattress, and no intoxicating kiss."Mr. Kael, why are you spacing out?" Hellena asked again, her brows knitting together as she noticed how pale her boss had suddenly become and how uneven his breathing was. "Are you alright? Is your dizziness coming back?"Kael was stunned, standing frozen like a wax statue i

The hands of the clock on the CEO's office wall had long passed two in the afternoon, yet the tension on the thirty-sixth floor had not eased in the slightest.Kael repeatedly loosened the knot of his gray tie, which seemed to be tightening around his strong neck with every passing minute. His thoughts were a complete mess. Not a single word from the market analysis document displayed on his computer monitor for the past hour had managed to register in his mind. Every time he tried to focus, the image of Hellena's face and her luscious lips would force its way into his thoughts without permission.Knock! Knock! Knock!The steady knock on the door instantly severed the thread of Kael's wandering thoughts.The man straightened his back and cleared his throat briefly to steady the hoarseness that had suddenly crept into his voice.“Come in.”The large oak door swung open, and Hellena stepped inside with graceful, composed strides. In her small hands, she carried a black leather folder co

Hellena stopped on the third step from the bottom of the staircase. She frowned slightly as she looked at Kael, who was still standing stiffly with his suit jacket draped over his arm. His gaze was so intense, dark, and as though it was stripping her appearance bare from head to toe."Is there something wrong with my outfit, Mr. Kael?" Hellena asked. Her voice was calm, yet it carried a strong sense of self-defense. She lightly smoothed the folds of her maroon velvet dress. "Mrs. Hansel chose this dress. She was the one who asked me to wear it tonight."Kael took one step forward, closing the distance between them until the masculine scent lingering on him from work blended with the delicate fragrance of jasmine surrounding Hellena. His jaw tightened. "That dress is too tight, Hellena. And the neckline... is too low."Hellena looked straight into Kael's dark eyes. A second later, she almost scoffed if she had not remembered her place. "It's a standard cut for a formal evening gown, Si

"Kael, what is the meaning of this behavior?" Mrs. Hansel immediately rose from her seat, glaring at her son with eyes filled with reproach. "She's having dinner with me and our guests. Mind your manners!"Kael paid no attention whatsoever to his mother's reprimand. His storm-darkened eyes remained locked on Hellena's face as she stood frozen in place. Without caring about Mrs. Sarah's shocked expression or Julian's disapproving gaze, Kael's strong hand swiftly reached out and gripped Hellena's wrist."We're going home now, Hellena," Kael hissed, his voice so low and filled with an authority that left no room for argument."Mr. Kael, let go—"Grab!With one forceful tug, Kael pulled Hellena's curvy body hard enough that she was forced to rise from her chair. His grip around her wrist was firm, restraining her movements without physically hurting her, yet strong enough to demonstrate absolute dominance.Seeing that, Julian immediately stood up as well, his brows knitting together in ob
