Upon stepping out of the elevator, Selena had arrived at the top floor right outside the presidentâs office. âMiss Yard, President Fowler is waiting inside.â The employee left after walking her to the officeâs entrance.
Selena then took a deep breath and knocked on the door, entering the office when she heard Pierreâs deep voice. As soon as she stepped inside, the first thing that came into her view was the piled up documents on the table that Pierre had to go through.
While the manâs absorption in work reminded her of herself back in those days, she was still rather surprised at the sight of his overwhelming workload.
A moment later, Pierre looked up at Selena only when she sat right in front of him. âWhat do you want from me?â Selena directly asked the man the question with a poker face.
Pierre responded with a glacial chuckle and continued to bury himself in work. âI made myself clear the last time, didnât I? Beg me, and Iâll undo everything for you.â
âYou and I both know that we have no intention of working with each other. So, why must you force my hand since there is no mutual desire to collaborate? But when I tried to move on, you made everyone cut ties with me! Donât you think this is a bit too much, Pierre Fowler?!â Selena spoke her feelings, even though she did her very best to keep herself calm.
Pierre ignored Selenaâs words and said, âGet me a cup of coffee.â
As much as Selena wanted to give the man a slap in the face, she had no choice but to give in considering her desperate situation. Therefore, she reluctantly went ahead to make Pierre a cup of coffee and came back a few moments later, placing it right beside his hand.
âItâs too hot!â
âThis isnât hot enough!â
âYou forgot the sugar!â
âWhere is the milk?â
After countless repeated attempts, Selena finally managed to deliver a cup of coffee that Pierre was satisfied with. âA grown man asking for sugar and milk to be added into his coffee?! What a weirdo!â Selena mumbled to herself almost inaudibly.
âWhat did you just say?â Pierre looked up at Selena.
âOh, nothing. I just wanted to ask whether youâre satisfied with the coffee. If not, I can always make you another one.â Selena tried her best to keep a straight face.
Soon, Pierre held his cup of coffee and approached the window, which was basically the whole wall as it was a French window.
âCome here and take a look for yourself.â
Selena then came closer as she was told to. Since the building had sixty-six stories, Selena couldnât help but feel dizzy when she glanced down from the top floor. Nonetheless, she soon began to appreciate the birdâs eye view of Digton City after taking a few moments to get used to the height. This is such a magnificent view!
Although Selena was spellbound by the awe-inspiring view in front of her, she had to admit that Pierreâs place was not easy to manage despite the power he possessed. Suddenly, she felt a warm breath around her ear. As she turned around, she unknowingly pressed her lips against the manâs mouth. In less than a second, Selena was prompted by her knee-jerk reaction to bounce away from Pierre, but the man was one step ahead, as he had already snaked his arm around her waist to keep her from moving.
âYouâre not shy at all, hmm?â
Feeling embarrassed, Selena wanted to break free from Pierreâs grip, only to find herself restrained by the man. âYouâre the one who came up close to me!â
âI donât like women who talk back.â Pierre curled his lips upward and added, âYou wanted to have a talk with me, didnât you? And I know you need Fowler Corporation to work with your company. Am I right? Letâs make love right here! Then, Iâll undo everything as you ask.â
âYou wish!â Selena swung her arm to resist, only to have it restrained by Pierre right behind her back. Before she knew what happened, she found herself pinned against the window by the man.
âWeâve already done that before anyway, so whatâs holding you back now?â Pierre smirked in a devilish manner.
âYouââ Selena was speechless, as she didnât know how to refute the man. âWhat exactly is it that you want from me, Pierre Fowler?! Meredith is already the mother of your kids, so why are you still fooling around with me?â
âThat has nothing to do with both of us here. I made it very clear. Accept my offer, and Iâll hold up my end of the bargain.â
