His Domineering Lover

The secretary remained composed yet the tone of her voice was quite harsh and there was even a tinge of ridicule ridicule? Aleigha thought that she had seen wrongly. She blinked and looked at her once again. Sure enough, it was ridicule.

"Do you think that I have become Mrs. Xiao by hook or by crook, so I have no right to fire you?"

"Or do you think that what Adrian said about me being in charge is just a joke, you don't have to take it seriously at all?"Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"You are not afraid of me because you think Adrian doesn't know what you have done and I'm only doing this out of my jealousy of you, right?"

The secretary sneered, and her lips curved into a perfect arc. "I think you know much better than me how you became Mrs. Xiao."

"And as for what I think, that's something I'd like to keep private as it is now."

"And you, an almost transparent little girl, especially when you are dealing with me, have no right to fire me or do anything to me." "Now with Adrian as your sugar daddy, it's not that surprising you'd be all in over your head, thinking you are impeccable."

"But you are not, you are nothing but a slut who sold your v*gina to get to where you are now."

"Adrian, did you hear that?"

"Yes, you can leave now."

Adrian slowly walked out of the bedroom behind Aleigha with a cold glint in his eyes.

He came back overnight and had stayed in the bedroom all the time with no one noticing.

He was well aware of the movements of the secretary for the whole day, including all the words she just said.

"Mr. Xiao, I... I didn't mean what I said. She! This woman! This vile and cunning woman! She tricked me into saying those things!" When the secretary saw Adrian, she was terrified as if she had looked right into the eye of hell, stepping back horrifiedly.

"Do you think we should press charges against her for commercial espionage or just let her go?"

"I'm a little tired. You can take care of the things here. I believe in you."

"Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry. Please don't leave me with her, I apologize, I know I've made a terrible mistake."

"I'm sorry for what I just said, I shouldn't have done that. Please, Mr. Xiao, mercy!"

The secretary ran to Adrian's feet and wrapped her arms around his legs.

A look of disgust flashed across Adrian's eyes as he kicked her away. He had always hated being touched by others.

The secretary had violated taboos a few times in a row. Kneeling on the floor, she choked with sobs. Adrian turned around and walked into the bedroom, ignoring what was happening outside. Aleigha got up from the chair, walked to the secretary, and pinched her cheek.

"Not so transparent now, am I?"

"I wanted to give you a chance at first, who would expect you to be so cocky, huh?"

"What you have done is enough for me to send you to jail for the rest of your life. Now, do tell me, do you know why I can be Mrs. Xiao, not anybody else?"

Of course, the secretary knew.

And she knew it clearer than anybody else.

Because they were both demons. Cold, ferocious, merciless demons.

They were one of a kind, which meant no matter what Aleigha had done, Adrian would take her

side.

And he didn't even need a reason for it, simply because he would've done the same thing if he were in her shoes.

"Waiting for me to walk you to the door?"

"Madam, I don't want to go to jail." The secretary gritted her teeth and finally knelt down in front of Aleigha.

Aleigha's eyes flashed, and she said with a sneer, "I wouldn't wanna follow Adrian's footsteps by having danger lurking all around me."

"And it's not up to me whether you are going to jail or not but you."

"And a person like you in a company is like a bad tooth. You know what doctors advise people to do with bad teeth, right? You pull them out once you find them, not keeping

them there as they rot Bols

whole mouth."

"You know that better than I do so why don't you just get up from the ground and save yourself the last shred of your dignity?"

The secretary looked down and bit her lips, which were bleeding. "Aleigha, you really won't spare me?"

"Did you think about sparing yourself when you were stealing things for Maximo?"

"You know perfectly well what the consequence of espionage is but you still did it."

"And since you did it, you will bear the consequences. Now, get up and get out. I don't wanna waste my time with you."

The secretary was speechless. She stood up and staggered out.

As soon as the door closed, Adrian walked out in a new set of clothes.

"Let's go out to grab a bite, my treat. You've done a pretty good job these days."

The two of them came to the hot pot place that they had been to before. As soon as Aleigha entered the door,

she thought of the scene at that time and could not help but feel funny.

She found it pleasantly amusing that they returned to this place.

"We can totally switch places if you don't like it here."

Adrian shook her head and chuckled. "I heard you talk in your sleep the other night."

"And you were saying how you missed hot pot desperately."

What he said made Aleigha blush, and she knocked on his shoulder twice in anger.

"What were you doing awake in the middle of the night?" "What was doing? Well, I'm glad you know it

was the middle of the night since

you were the one lying flat on me, talking like a loudspeaker!"

"What else was I supposed to do except listening to every word you had to say?"

Aleigha was very angry. She pinched his arm, but she couldn't gather a single shred of flesh since Adrian's arm was so packed with muscles.

The tiny bit of skin that she did gather couldn't hurt Adrian at all.

Her actions instantly provoked a mocking smile from Adrian. Then he called out to the waiter.

This time, he changed the previous style. He ate a pure and simple hot pot with Aleigha. Although she did not eat much, Aleigha still liked this atmosphere very much.

After leaving the restaurant, Adrian pulled her along as they walked through the streets.

"I'll be leaving tomorrow. The report of the accident at the factory has been finished."

"I'm quite relieved to see how you handled the business so well."

"But Darien's coming back now since Aubrie is being extradited back here. You gotta keep your eyes open."

"Alexzander's gonna be making his moves soon enough."

"If you can't handle all of them at the same time, don't hesitate to contact Tanner or Jaidyn."

Aleigha nodded as she nestled up in his arms, holding his waist tightly.

Unexpectedly, Adrian left the next morning in a hurry.

After an almost sleepless night, Aleigha was aching all over. She had a sound sleep but when she woke up, Adrian was nowhere to be found.

She sat there for nearly ten minutes in a daze. Then, she got up, washed up, changed her clothes, and went to the company.

In the morning, she organized a meeting. After lunch, a new secretary came directly from the branch company who had been her confidante. Since they had worked together for quite some time, everything went rather smoothly.

Darien stood in front of the window. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he turned around and saw Aleigha rushing in.

"You, why are you here?"

"Aleigha, you've caused me so much trouble."

With a gloomy smile on his face, Darien walked over to the chair opposite Aleigha and sat down.

"Cause you trouble? Aubrie is your fiancee. What does it have to do with me?"
