Semua Bab Yes Boss, I Belong to You: Bab 61 - Bab 70

The first press was hard. Almost punishing. Lucian kissed her like he was still angry, like the argument and the bruise on her cheek and every risk she had taken alone were all pouring into the force of his lips. Ava gasped against him, and he only took more of it, stealing the air from her lungs until her head grew light.She could taste him. Warm. Sharp. Unmistakably him.For a moment she could barely breathe. Her fingers caught his shirt, half to steady herself, half because her body refused to push him away. The kiss was too much and still not enough, rough with frustration, deep enough to make her pulse stumble.Then something in him shifted.The pressure eased. The anger softened into heat. His mouth moved over hers more slowly now, deeper, coaxing instead of taking. When her lips parted, his tongue slid into her mouth and swept through every corner, tasting her properly, thoroughly, as if he had no intention of leaving any part of her unclaimed.A soft sound escaped Ava before

Ava made her way downstairs, but the living room was empty.She went outside to check whether he had left the villa. His car was still there. Ava pulled one of the guards aside.“Where is Lucian?”“Boss is probably upstairs in his room, Miss Richmond,” the man said.Ava nodded. “Thank you.”She turned and went back inside. For a moment she considered returning to her room and waiting until morning. Then she looked down at the flash drive in her hand.No. The matter could not wait any longer.She climbed the stairs slowly. Only halfway up did it fully hit her that this was the first time she was crossing beyond the second floor to the upper level where Lucian lived. The air felt quieter there. More private. As if the house itself changed the higher she went.Holding the flash drive tightly, she walked down the passageway and stopped in front of the door she assumed was his.She raised her hand and knocked twice.Ava waited for a few minutes, but there was still no response.She raised

The following morning, Ava got ready for work and headed downstairs.She found Lucian already seated at the dining table, dressed in a dark suit, looking as composed as ever. The moment their eyes met, Ava smiled and walked over, easing herself into the chair opposite him.“Good morning,” she greeted.“Morning,” Lucian replied, glancing at her.Mrs. Susu came in almost immediately, carrying a tray. “Good morning, Ava. You’re right on time.”“Good morning, Mrs. Susu,” Ava said. “It smells good.”“I made pancakes today,” the older woman said cheerfully as she set the plates down. “And fruit, in case you want something lighter.”Ava’s eyes brightened a little. “Pancakes sound perfect.”“Eat while it’s still hot,” said Mrs. Susu with a smile.Ava looked down at her plate, which was piled high with foo

John started the car and drove away.After about an hour, he arrived at NexaTech. He parked across from the building but did not step out. A glance at the time showed it was already a quarter past three.He was restless, but he still could not bring himself to walk into the building and face Ava in her office. So he stayed in the car, eyes fixed on the entrance, waiting for her to come out at the end of the workday.He did not care that it might take a few more hours.Meanwhile, Ava had just left a meeting with the board and was walking back toward her office with Emily beside her.“Email me the minutes of the meeting,” Ava said.“I’ll do it right away,” Emily replied.Ava nodded and stepped into her office. She sat down, opened her laptop, and started working through the files on her screen.A moment later, her phone vibrated on the desk. Ava paused and picked it up.It was a message from L

When they got to the villa, Ava tried to stand on her own.“I can walk,” she said.Lucian glanced at the walking boot. “The doctor said no long walking. Don’t be stubborn.”“I’m not being stubborn. It’s just…”Before she could finish, he bent and lifted her up.“Lucian—”“Quiet. Let me carry you.” He said and scooped her into his arms and carried her inside. Reaching the living room, he set her down carefully on the couch. A moment later, Mrs. Susu hurried over to welcome them. Her smile disappeared when she noticed the walking boot on Ava’s left foot.“What happened to your leg, dear?” She said, a worried expression immediately crossed her face.Ava smiled reassuringly. “I missed a step. It’s just a sprain.”“Just a sprain?” Mrs. Susu looked at the boot and sighed. &ldqu
