âOf course,â he replied with a grin.
âHow could I ever take money from you, my love?â
Pleased with his response, Lucinda leaned over and pressed her lips against his, ki*sing him passionately while straddling his lap.
An alluring atmosphere filled the office.
âMiss Simmons, Mr.
Aguilar would like to speak with you⦠Uh, Iâm sorry!â
Kay Dixon, Lucindaâs new assistant, knocked on the door and pushed it open.
In a split second, she caught a glimpse of the scene on the sofa.
Her face turned crimson, and she quickly shut the door.
Outside the office, Crosby Aguilar stood waiting, his expression stern as he asked Kay seriously, âWhy havenât you entered? Whatâs she doing in there?â
âMiss⦠Miss Simmons⦠Sheâs dealing with some personal matters.
Please wait a moment, Mr.
Aguilar.
â
âPersonal matters?â
At the moment Kay opened the door, Crosby was sure he caught sight of Lucinda and Nathan entangled on the sofa.
His face darkened, and anger surged within him.
Did Lucinda think her position allowed her to act this way?!
What on earth was she doing in her office? This wasnât a place for romantic liaisons! Furthermore, did she realize that Nathan was their competitor? Even if he was her boyfriend, she couldnât simply bring him into the company.
Seeing that, how could Crosby trust her with the companyâs future?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
With a heavy snort, he stormed off in frustration.
After witnessing Crosbyâs departure, Kay returned to her seat and decided not to disturb the two lovebirds in the office.
Lucinda and Nathan, however, were undeterred by the interruption.
They had eyes only for each other.
Lucinda remained straddled on Nathanâs lap, her hand gently caressing the inside of his shirt.
His chest heaved with excitement, and he bit his lip, trying to control himself.
As she was about to proceed further, he grasped her slender wrist just in time.
