Heather spoke cautiously and softly, afraid of saying the wrong thing.
Dexter didnât give a direct answer. âShe doesnât care about these things.â
Heather smiled. âI know she has a big heart.â
When it was about time to get off work, Summer came. She went directly to the top floor and entered Dexterâs office. âHi, Dexter, Iâm here to pick up sis.â
Dexter lifted his eyes and smiled. âYouâre very concerned about your sister coming all the way to pick her up despite your busy schedule.â
Summer wore a pencil skirt, which exposed her long legs. Looking poised like the head of a family, she answered, âI canât help it. We have spent a great deal of effort searching for my precious sister, so of course, I have to look after her. What if something happens again?â
Just then, Heather walked in with a cup of coffee and was stunned to see Summer, âMs⦠S-Sum, what brings you here?â
Summer looked at Heather with a smile. âIâm here to pick you up from work.â
âI can go home on my own. You didnât have to come.â Heather quickly placed the coffee on Dexterâs desk.
âItâs on the way, so donât worry about it.â Summer leaned against Dexterâs desk. âSis, Iâd like an Americano. Can you get me a cup, please?â
âSure.â Heather answered without hesitation.
After Heather left, Dexter continued reading his documents and commented without lifting his head, âSheâs your sister. You shouldnât cross the line.â
âWhat do you mean?â Summer was confused.
âAlthough she hasnât been with the family for more than ten years, sheâs still the young lady of the Olsen family. Itâs inappropriate to order her about like this.â After finishing reviewing the documents, Dexter kept them aside.
âOh, I see.â Summer pretended to come to a sudden realization. âIt slipped my mind. But she has been doing this for the past ten years.â
Dexterâs expression turned solemn. âNot anymore from now on.â
As the atmosphere turned intense, Heather came in with an Americano. âHere you go, Sum.â
Summer and Heather were raised in different environments, so their temperaments were different.
Heather appeared extremely cautious in front of Summer.
âI suddenly donât feel like drinking it. Sis, you can take it back.â
Summer cast a provoking glance at Dexter.
Just as Heather was about to bring the cup out, Dexter said, âJust leave it. You may excuse yourself first.â
Heather did as she was told. Tears welled up in her eyes.
With that, only Dexter and Summer were left in the office. Dexter stood up and placed one hand on the table. Looking down at Summer, he lifted her chin with the other hand. Summerâs body stiffened when she felt Dexterâs breath, and her ears turned red.
Dexterâs overpowering aura stirred her desire.
âYouâ¦â
âPreviously, I didnât care if you picked on her.â Dexter took up the cup of hot coffee and placed it near Summerâs lips. Slowly, he poured the coffee into her mouth. âBut now, sheâs Liana. You shouldnât mess with her anymore.â
His gaze was resolute.
The coffee was so hot that Summer struggled to break away from Dexter while letting out a muffled sound.
Dexter gripped her cheeks, forcing her to open her mouth and drink the whole cup of Americano.
âNow, Iâm here for her. Do you understand?â
Steam rose from Summerâs mouth, which was scalded. Her face reddened. The moment Dexter released her, she clutched her throat to vomit the coffee. However, it was too late she had lost her voice.
âD-Dexâ¦â Her voice was hoarse and unpleasant.
Dexter stared coldly at the miserable woman.
After this lesson, she had to understand the situation, even if she didnât want to.
