Chapter 81

Something seemed to brush lightly against Julian's heart. He cleared his throat.Forcing himself to look away from her, he said, "If there's nothing else, you may leave."He feared that if she stayed any longer, smiling at him like that, he wouldn't be able to stop himself from asking her to stay."Yes!"Athena paid no attention to the sudden coldness in his tone. She turned and happily left the CEO's office.…By the time Julian finished his meeting, it was already noon.Athena took the elevator downstairs first, planning to wait for him beside his car.The moment she stepped into the underground parking garage, a vicious slap struck her across the face.Caught completely off guard, Athena's head snapped to the side. A searing pain spread across her cheek, leaving her mind blank for several seconds.Olivia's furious, hate-filled voice rang in her ears. "Athena, you bitch! How dare you seduce my husband!"Athena covered her burning right cheek and looked up.Olivia's face w

Chapter 82

Olivia froze and stared at Athena in disbelief. "You actually dared to hit me? Athena, have you lost your mind?"Ever since they were kids, Olivia had always been the one bullying Athena. Since when had Athena ever dared to stand up to her?"You're the one who should stay away from my husband from now on," Athena said coldly.Just because Olivia suspected she was trying to seduce Adam, she had slapped her without hesitation.But what about Olivia? She knew full well that Ethan was married to Athena, yet she still clung to her sister's husband every single day.Didn't she deserve to be slapped? Athena had wanted to return that slap for a long time."What did you say?" Olivia trembled with rage. Her face twisted with fury and obsession, as though she wanted to kill Athena on the spot. "You bitch, Athena! I'll teach you a lesson!"She raised her hand and swung viciously at Athena's face.Before the slap could land, Julian caught her wrist.Startled, Olivia looked up at the man wh

Athena shook her head and turned to Julian. "It's nothing, Mr. Sterling. Thank you for what you did just now."Julian held her gaze with his deep, unreadable eyes. "A thank you? And then?"Athena blinked. "And then what?"He frowned. "Miss Kingsley, you seem to enjoy thanking people with nothing but words."Athena froze. Was he expecting some kind of tangible repayment?She asked cautiously, "Mr. Sterling, how would you like me to thank you?"Julian's gaze lingered on her. She wore a white business skirt suit that accentuated her graceful figure with understated elegance. When she looked up at him with those innocent eyes, desire stirred inside him.The memory of the erotic dream he'd had about her the night before flashed through his mind. Heat rushed through his body. For one reckless moment, he wanted to pin her against the back seat and take her then and there.Julian leaned in without warning.Less than four inches separated them. It looked as though he might kiss her at

Chapter 84

Athena's first instinct was to get off Julian, but he tightened his arm around her waist and held her firmly on his lap, leaving her unable to move.Athena stared at him in shock, her heartbeat suddenly quickening. "Mr. Sterling... you..."Julian gazed into her beautiful eyes. "Do you think just anyone gets into my car?"As he spoke, his warm breath brushed against her eyelashes like a faint electric current.Athena quickly looked away as if she had been burned.But if no one besides him had ever been in his car, how could her earring have disappeared? Surely he hadn't stolen it.Even though she knew the thought was absurd, she couldn't help wondering. He was a powerful CEO. Why would he steal a tiny earring from her?Despite herself, she glanced up at him suspiciously.To her surprise, he caught her gaze.Julian looked down at the woman in his arms. His dark eyes were deep and unreadable, and his voice was low and husky. "Why are you looking at me like that? Don't tell me you

Chapter 85

Julian caught the hand that had just slapped him and held it firmly, his gaze fixed on Athena for a long moment. "Weren't you the one who seduced me first?""I seduced you? When did I ever do that?" Athena shot back instinctively.When had she ever seduced him?Julian's dark eyes remained locked on hers as he delivered each accusation with deliberate emphasis. "In the past, you always used your addiction episodes as an excuse to hint at me. You coveted my body, and I endured it every single time."Just now, you deliberately claimed you lost your earring in my car. Then you squatted in front of me with your little bottom raised, trying to tempt me and force me to make the first move..."Athena was so stunned that she could barely process his words.He had forced a kiss on her, yet somehow he was blaming her?Although part of what he said was true. Whenever her addiction flared up in the past, she had indeed found herself craving his body more than once.But this time, her earrin

Chapter 86

Athena's heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly shook her head. "I... how would I dare?"Even if she had the courage of a bear and the bravery of a lion, she still wouldn't dare ask her boss to feed her.Julian sat down beside her. "Then did you want me to sit closer and keep you company while you eat?"His deep eyes fixed on her.The corners of Athena's lips twitched."I wish you'd stay a little farther away from me," she muttered under her breath as she instinctively shifted away from him.To her surprise, Julian immediately moved closer again. "What did you say?"His gaze darkened.Athena quickly corrected herself. "N-Nothing. I wouldn't trouble you, Mr. Sterling. I can do it myself!"With that, she hurriedly started eating. She was afraid that if he refused to accept her answer, he would actually try to feed her. She definitely wouldn't be able to handle that.Julian let out a quiet scoff and watched her without blinking.At first, Athena didn't think she was hungry, but af

Chapter 87

Julian's masculine scent surrounded her.Athena instinctively rose, eager to leave. "Mr. Sterling, I've eaten enough..."Julian suddenly caught her arm and pinned her against the dining table.Athena froze in shock. Her eyes widened as his handsome face drew closer.She thought he was about to force another kiss, and heat instantly flooded her cheeks.Julian lowered his gaze to hers. "I'm just applying medicine to your face. Why are you blushing?"Athena went still. 'What? He's only applying medicine, not kissing me?'Realizing her mistake, she blushed even harder.Julian took a tube of ointment from the medical kit, uncapped it, squeezed a small amount onto his fingertip, and reached toward her face.Athena instinctively turned away.Julian immediately cupped her chin and held her face steady. "It's to reduce the swelling."With that, he carefully began applying the ointment.Athena struggled lightly. "I can do it myself."Julian trapped her restless legs with his own, ho

Chapter 88

Athena's hand instinctively clenched into a fist.She forced herself to explain, "Who doesn't have a first love they once cherished? Besides, my sister is already married, isn't she?"Julian's handsome face darkened. "So you're saying you don't mind that your husband has another woman in his heart, and that woman is your own sister?""It was in the past. It was in the past!" Athena emphasized hurriedly.The fact that her employer knew about her family's scandal was already embarrassing enough. Even if she wanted a divorce, she had to keep it quiet. Otherwise, if news of her divorce from Ethan reached either the Kingsleys or the Fosters, there was no way she would be allowed to go through with it.Julian's dark eyes turned cold and distant.At first, he had wanted to tell her to divorce her husband and be with him. But after hearing her explanation, he found himself unable to say the rest.'It seems she has no intention of getting divorced. Could it be that she still hasn't given

Chapter 89

After Zoey mentioned her sister, Athena finally nodded. She took the emerald dress and went into the fitting room.When she stepped out, everyone in the boutique fell silent. The dress suited Athena perfectly. It made her fair skin appear even more radiant and beautifully accentuated her graceful figure.Zoey was the first to compliment her. "Athena, you look absolutely gorgeous in this dress."Fiona walked over with a smile. "I knew I had good taste. This dress is perfect for you."Athena turned to the sales assistant. "How much is this dress?"The sales assistant replied, "This dress was custom-designed for Miss Aniston. She has already paid for it."Athena looked at Fiona. "How much was it? I'll transfer the money to you."Fiona smiled and shook her head. "There's no need. It's only a dress. Consider it a gift to celebrate our new friendship."Athena frowned slightly. "How could I accept that?"She had never met Fiona before today. Accepting such an expensive gift from a co

Chapter 90

Athena visited a few more stores with Zoey to help her pick out a dress.Remembering that she had run out of cosmetics, she bought a new set before heading home with everything.She didn't expect Ethan to already be home.When he saw Athena carrying several large shopping bags into the house, he couldn't help but frown. "Olivia just got discharged from the hospital. As her younger sister, shouldn't you be visiting her at your family home? Instead, you're out shopping?"Athena shot him a sharp glance. "If you want to visit her that badly, go yourself. Why drag me into it? Or are you planning to use me as a shield?""You..." Ethan's handsome face cycled through several expressions because she had struck the truth.Athena curled her lips in disdain and walked straight to her room.She didn't think Olivia needed anyone's concern. Olivia had come to her office earlier that day and slapped her. With that kind of strength, did she really look like someone who had just been discharged f
