Chapter 196: I can try to change
Henry hastily came to his senses and shook his head:
-No, I’m probably a bit tired. I’ll go now and get back to you if anything happens.
-Good.
Vanessa nodded and waited for Enrique to take the men away before turning around and going back to her office.
Before she could close the door, a pair of hands suddenly reached out and embraced Vanessa tightly. She blushed, threw her elbows back and her feet followed with the intention of stamping hard.
-Darling, it’s me.
Dylan’s lips pressed against his ear, smiling softly.
Vanessa’s movements falter as he gives her the baton and lifts her up in a frank embrace. He walks over to his desk and sits down, letting Vanessa sit in his arms.
-What are you doing?
-This is my office!
Dylan laughed softly and hugged her:
-Darling, I have missed you.
-You let me go first.
Vanessa squirmed and struggled, worried that someone would come to her office later. She didn’t want anyone to know about her relationship with Dylan, who was so flirtatious.
-Darling, I’m going to have to restrain myself if you move again,” Dylan said and blew softly into Vanessa’s ear. Deliberately, he shook her back so that she could feel his spirit somewhere.
-You…
A beast in heat at all times.
-Be good, I won’t move you.
Although Dylan’s voice was affectionate, Vanessa heard the threat in it. She didn’t dare move again, her body stiffened. Vanessa’s heart hung in the air as she felt a place beneath her being reclaimed.
-What brings you here?
-I thought I said I missed you, so I came to see you.
Dylan rested his chin on Vanessa’s shoulder and snuggled up to her.
-I have to go to work.
-Well, I won’t bother you.
Their presence was already intrusive.
-Dylan, this is my office. Either you sit down disciplined or you leave.
When Vanessa got angry, Dylan became even more reckless. He wanted to see her angry, to see how she looked at him, but he couldn’t do anything about it. She was very, very cute at that moment.
-I’ll take the third.
-There is no third party.
Vanessa gritted her teeth, couldn’t the man understand her?
-Are you still angry?
-What?
Dylan’s conversation jumped so fast that Vanessa didn’t react for a moment. It took her a moment to remember, and the things she had forgotten so easily resurfaced, and a melancholy gleamed in her eyes.
-It’s funny you should ask that, even if I said I was still angry, what would I do? Would you change because I’m angry? -said Vanessa mockingly, with a cold look in her eyes.
-I will.
Dylan replied without hesitation, moving in to kiss Vanessa on the cheek,
-Darling, if I care, I will learn to change. Not overnight, of course, but I will change if I promise I will.
Instead, Vanessa froze.
-Are you kidding me?
-I mean it.
Dylan embraced Vanessa and easily shifted her to a position where she was sitting face to face with him.
He wrapped his arms around her waist, his forehead pressed against hers, his lips curved in an affectionate way.
-I promise I will try to change my ways, so Dear, don’t be angry, okay?
It was the first time Dylan had ever put his head down to cajole someone, and willingly.
I thought he tasted so low only because he was still interested in Vanessa, and he certainly didn’t want to lose such a fun baby.
That’s why he ingratiated himself, to make her happy and keep her wanting more.
Since profits are for gain, there is nothing wrong with giving properly.
Vanessa pursed her lips, her face still, but her eyes shifting.
He didn’t want to believe Dylan’s words, but his behaviour made him believe them again. Maybe he really would change?
Vanessa lowered her eyes, it was clear that Dylan was trying to please her. But instead, she became more aware of her feelings for Dylan, and it just didn’t work.
-Hmm? Have you considered it? -Would you forgive me?
Dylan tilted Vanessa’s forehead and asked her lovingly.
There was a laughter in the low voice that tickled the ears.
Vanessa’s eyes looked away, clearly not speaking, but Dylan read her.
-Be good, concentrate on your work and we’ll have dinner together tonight.
-Good.
After saying yes, Vanessa regretted it, secretly hating herself for being enchanted by Dylan’s beauty.
But since he had agreed, he could not afford to break his promise. He had to pretend nothing was wrong, keep his head down and work hard.
She hoped to have someone behind her who wasn’t able to concentrate, but who knew that Vanessa was in on it. Even when the odd problem came up and Dylan opened his mouth, they were surprisingly able to discuss it and come to a better conclusion.
-Uf.
“It’s finally sorted out”.
-Honey, can you give me all your time tonight?
I had forgotten that this man existed.
-Let’s go.
Dylan didn’t wait for her to refuse and pulled the person up.
As she left the office, Vanessa awkwardly tried to shake Dylan’s hand off her. Instead, his grip tightened, preventing her from breaking free.
-Let it go.
Vanessa leaned closer and whispered through clenched teeth.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
-So you agree to stay with me tonight?
Dylan raised an eyebrow and justified the use of fire.
-Dylan, you’re going too far.
-Honey, I’ve got something more outrageous, do you want to try it?
-Yes, I’ll stay with you tonight.
Vanessa gritted her teeth in engagement and Dylan chuckled softly, moving in for a quick kiss on the corner of her lips before releasing her, Vanessa was free and immediately striding forward.
The attitude was clear, they did not want it to be known that they were related.
Dylan didn’t mind, and the curve of his smile didn’t change a bit.
Peering out of the corner of his eye behind him, he caught up with Vanessa at a steady pace, next to her, but at a suitable distance.
It was only when the two entered the lift that the assistant secretary, who was hiding in a corner of the corridor, dared to come out.
“My God, is this how your director Vanessa is related to the president of the SJ Group?”
“But isn’t the president of the SJ Group your ex-husband’s Dylan?”
“I always feel I have discovered a big secret, what should I do, will it be quiet? ”
The young assistant thought uneasily and her eyebrows knotted.
-Eating out or eating at home?
-Home.
The chances of meeting someone you knew outside were too high, so it was safer to return to the village.
Vanessa thought and chose the latter.
Dylan said he was in a good mood because she couldn’t resist calling his cottage.
Maybe Vanessa should move in with him sometime, and Dylan narrowed his eyes, thinking it would be nice to live together.
