“Impressive,” Gwendolyn said sincerely, full of admiration for Howard. She understood why Selina was so persistent.
No one would want to let go.
“Good evening, Mrs. Chadwick!” The receptionist, with high emotional intelligence, had already committed Gwendolyn’s face to
memory
Gwendolyn offered a shy smile in return.
Cliff pressed the elevator button for her and said, “The young master is in a video conference. You can wait in his office. Il park the car in the underground garage.”
“Sure, go ahead. Thank you Cliff

“That’s the boss” wife. Looks pretty your impressive.”
“Indeed, Apart from her lineage, she’s quite a match for Ms. Hamilton.”
“Marriages these days are all about equal standing. Ms. Hamilton and the boss have more in common. When an old flame cries, the new love is bound to lose.”
“What common ground! It all comes down to who the boss likes! At the last Stellar Crescent Foundation interview, the boss publicly rejected Ms. Hamilton. Isn’t his preference obvious?”
Gwendolyn pursed her lips as she stepped into the elevator.
She didn’t buy the “old flame, new love” thing, but the phrase “equal standing” indeed struck a chord with her.

She tiptoed to his office, taking in the new decor. The expansive windows framed the twilight sky beautifully.
Then she heard footsteps behind her, followed by the sound of a door closing.
Gwendolyn turned, only to be pinned by Howard. His lips descended onto hers, seeking sweetness.
Howard’s crisp, woody scent tantalized her senses. Gwendolyn closed her eyes, arms wrapped around his neck, tilting her head back to deepen the kiss.
Howard’s eyes darkened as he lifted her onto the desk.
Passion swirled.

The office door opened, then closed. Gwendolyn, startled, tumed to look but was swiftly engulfed in an even more fervent kiss.
“Focus.” His breath was hot, his voice husky.
Gwendolyn’s dress neckline was tugged down, his hand found its way to her thigh, giving it a gentle pat
“Do you still want me to paint you?”
“No.” Her breath came in short gasps, eyes slightly narrowed. The faint trace of lipstick smeared onto his collar
After a while, the office returned to silence.
Howard, with restrained patience, created a space between them, subtly drawing in the desire he had let loose, his hand on Gwendolyn’s waist drawing her closer.
“Mmm…” Gwendolyn let out a soft complaint.
“Why did you come to the office all of a sudden?” he inquired.

Her eyes shimmered with emotion, and she replied, flustered, “Cliff mentioned you were working late. I thought I’d drop by..
“Huh?” he leaned in, his hot breath caressing her skin, Tell me the truth.”

But Howard wanted her to be bold, forthright, uninhibited with him.
