Chapter 471: Chapter 525

Chapter 525 Finally, she couldn’t hold back her annoyance “Mr. Stark, don’t you have anything better to do?”

“Not really,” he said, his tone light and reading to just taking a break from the hustle.”

Mariela scoffed Do you not trust our firm? Is that why you keep showing up to inspect us every other day?

Lennon looked at her, his lips curving into a faint smile “It’s not the firm 1 don’t trust. It’s someone else?

“Someone?” Mariels furrowed her brow, Lennon slightly said, “Bryce”

“Mariela was taken aback “Has he offended you?”

Lennon chuckled “He’s trying to steal someone from me. Doesn’t that count as offending me?”

Mariela didn’t know what to say, It fell silent.

After a brief pause, Lennon’s lips curled into a proud smile.“But my woman isn’t that easy to steal I saw that brat sulking these past few days. He probably got rejected.”

Mariela rolled her eyes and pointed to a stack of papers on her desk.“If you’re really that bored, why don’t you go shred these for me?”

“Sure,” Lennon agreed readily.

He stood up, walked over, and picked up the stack of papers.

But instead of leaving right away, he leaned in closer, his voice low and husky.“Ms. Logan, you haven’t told me where the shredder is.”

His deep, slightly raspy voice made her heart skip a beat.

He must have done it on purpose.

Mariela blushed with anger.

“Can’t you see that huge shredder right there?” she snapped.

“Where is it?”

“It’s right over there.” Mariela instinctively turned her head and pointed, her lips accidentally brushing against Lennon’s lips.

Mariela suddenly stood up and exclaimed, “Lennon!”

He had leaned in a bit more, which was why her lips had brushed against his when she turned her head.

Mariels was furious Can you not mess around here? I’m busy, I don’t have time for your Seeing that she was genuinely upset, Lennon backed off. His tone softened “Don’t be mad, Ms. Logan, 1 really didn’t see it?

“Bullshit!” Mariela’s face turned bright red, her voice rising Lennon walked over to the shredder nearby and started feeding the papers in a few at a time.“Don’t be mad, Marie. How about I make it up to you with dinner tonight? We can go to your favorite barbecue place,”

“No!”

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Mariela took a deep breath to calm herself before saying, “Come in.”
