All Chapters of My CEO Is My Cure: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Julian's dark, phoenix-like eyes remained fixed on her, unwavering. His gaze was intensely focused.It was as though everyone else around them had vanished. As though Athena was the only person he could see.Athena's mind went blank. Was Julian really about to walk straight toward her in front of everyone?Even though she told herself it couldn't be true, the sight of him approaching still sent her heartbeat wildly out of rhythm.The people around them instinctively stepped aside, creating a clear path for Julian.Step by step, he closed the distance between them. His deep, mesmerizing eyes were like twin whirlpools, threatening to pull her completely under.Athena stood rooted to the spot, suddenly at a loss for how to react.Beside her, Zoey was both stunned and thrilled. She repeatedly pinched Athena's arm. "The boss might actually have a thing for you. The way he's looking at you is definitely different..."Zoey's words only made Athena even more uncertain about how she sho

Athena panicked and accidentally collided with a waitress carrying a tray."Miss, are you alright?"Athena shook her head and tried to get to her feet, but her body was growing weaker by the second. Strength steadily drained from her limbs until she could no longer stand."Miss, are you feeling unwell?" the waitress asked as she crouched beside her to help.Seeing that the waitress was a woman, Athena lowered her guard slightly. "Please... take me outside.""Of course. Come with me."With the waitress supporting her, Athena left the banquet hall and stepped into the elevator.Her head grew heavier with every passing second. Through her hazy vision, however, she noticed that the waitress had pressed a button for one of the upper floors instead of the lobby or the underground parking garage.Athena instantly realized something was wrong. A split second before the elevator doors closed, she darted out."Miss Kingsley!" the waitress called as she hurried after her.Hearing the wo

Athena's almond-shaped eyes shimmered with tears, and a warm flush spread across her delicate face. Half from pain and half from desire, her expression was a tangled mix of emotions. She looked dangerously tempting.Julian felt heat surge through his body as he watched her. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he found himself completely unable to look away.At that moment, she was breathtaking. Every movement she made stirred the deepest instincts within him as a man.Although he usually possessed exceptional self-control and even leaned toward abstinence, he was now facing the woman he had long desired. She lay before him in such an alluring state that remaining unaffected was impossible.Julian's gaze deepened. "How do you want me to help you?"Athena almost rolled her eyes. 'Does this man really have to pretend to be innocent in front of me?'She had been drugged and was already suffering this much. How else did he think he could help her?She anxiously grabbed his hand and rubbed h

Julian gripped her chin and lifted it. "So you're saying yes?"At that moment, Athena felt unbearably uncomfortable, as though something inside her were consuming her. She couldn't refuse even if she wanted to. But paying him 150,000 dollars for a single night was far beyond what she could afford."Can I pay in installments?" she asked, forcing herself to stay composed as she tried to negotiate.Julian studied her with an unreadable expression. "At least pay 100,000 dollars upfront."Athena was speechless.An upfront payment? Was she buying a house?She was only asking him for help. This man was shamelessly taking advantage of her situation and demanding an outrageous price. He intended to squeeze every last penny out of his little assistant.Unfortunately, she had no other choice. Even if he was exploiting her vulnerability, she could only accept his terms.Athena gritted her teeth. "Deal!"A flicker of restrained desire crossed Julian's eyes. He pushed her onto the bed and k

Of course Athena was disappointed, mostly because she'd wasted her money. If she had known she wasn't actually going to "buy" him, she never would have transferred the money in advance.Athena had the distinct feeling she'd been thoroughly played, but there was no way she could point at Julian and accuse him of refusing to let her "buy" him. She could only swallow her frustration."No!" Athena turned her head away stubbornly. She didn't want to look at him right now. "I'm fine now. You can go."With that, she pulled the blanket over her face.This was so humiliating. How was she supposed to face him again after this?But after lying there for quite a while, she realized the person beside her hadn't moved.Hesitantly, Athena peeked out from beneath the blanket. To her surprise, Julian was still sitting on the sofa beside her bed.She stared at him with wide eyes, completely baffled. "Y... You're still here?"Was he actually planning to stay so she could "buy" him after all? But
