Chapter 31

Sweet Submission Reclaiming Her Love Chapter 31 Kiss In The Elevator Corynn woke up with a splitting headache.

Wincing, she massaged her aching temples, wearing a helpless expression, What on earth had she done last night?

As she peeled her eyes open and took in her unfamiliar surroundings, she instinctively clutched the blanket to her chest, feeling a mix of shock and disbelief.

Had she really done something so reckless last night?!

A drunken mistake...

Eyes wide as saucers, she couldn’t believe such a thing had happened to her.

Corynn gnawed at her lip, trying to piece together the events of the previous night, but her mind was a foggy mess. All she could recall was the vague image of a man’s naked body pressed against hers.

In her drunken haze, she hadn’t seen the man’s face clearly.

Try as she might to recall that man’s face, she kept drawing a blank. Frustration welled up inside her as she ran her fingers through her hair in distress. Indeed, drinking that much had been a terrible idea.

It took her a while to notice the set of clean clothes neatly folded at the edge of the bed. This small act of consideration from the man who had left her made her feel ever so slightly better about the situation As she stood up, her legs wobbled, nearly causing her to collapse.

Overwhelmed by her distress, Corynn felt like burying herself under the sheets and crying herself back to sleep, but she knew that she needed to get out of here.

As she hastily pulled on the fresh clothes, she vowed never to touch alcohol again.

The man had left a trail of hickeys all over her neck, which her parents would’ve surely noticed if she went home.

So, instead of heading to the house, she hid in her apartment for the next two days, waiting for the telling marks on her body to fade into oblivion.

While in hiding, she received a call from Jason.

“Congratulations, Corynn!” came Jason’s easygoing voice.

Corynn smiled weakly. “Th–thank you.”

12:10 “I should be the one thanking you!” Jason chuckled, “Thanks to your ‘inside information‘, I made quite a bit of money betting on your victory.”

Jason knew that Corynn would be extremely busy these days, so he had waited until now to call.

Corynn was aware that a total of thirty million had been bet on the Harper Group’s success, but aside from herself and Jason, she didn’t know who else had placed a bet.

She had a sneaking suspicion, but she couldn’t be sure.

After politely ending the call with Jason, Corynn hung up.

She lay back in bed, still feeling slightly unwell, but this time perhaps the air conditioning was set too low.

After a bit of contemplation, she gathered enough resolve to get herself up to take some medicine, adjust the air–conditioning, and scrolled through the news, Meanwhile, Amanda had been unusually quiet these past few days, likely planning her next move.

Despite her recent victory, Corynn ained on guard and does not want to leave things to chance.

Previously, Amanda had cut off Harper Group’s supplies; who knew what she might do next?

Though Corynn couldn’t predict Amanda’s strategies, she resolved to stay cautious and not give Amanda any openings.

The more successful Harper Group became, the more Amanda would despise her.

Back in the hotel, Elliot held in his hand Corynn’s usual breakfast.

When they were still together, Corynn would frequently prepare the same breakfast, accompanied by her favorite side dishes.

Elliot was sure she would appreciate this kind and thoughtful gesture.

He briskly went past the lobby, went up the elevator, and walked straight to the room. Excited to surprise Corynn, he pushed the door open but she was no longer there.

Refusing to give up, he looked for traces of her and her stuff in the bedroom, then the bathroom, but Corynn was gone. Corynn had left.

He sat on the bed, wistfully touching the spot where she had slept.

It was still warm; she had just left, he thought to himself.

Elliot soon recalled the sound of the elevator door closing behind him with a soft “ding.”

If only he had waited a little longer...

He pulled out his phone, wanting to send Corynn a message, but unsure of what to say.

He thought for a long time, trying to gather the words that could express his feelings, but couldn’t come up with anything.

Caught in the moment, he found himself lying on the spot where Corynn had slept. He got his phone and opened his photo album. There he looked at a photo of her sleeping. Her peaceful, serene, and gentle resting 41.2%

As he scrolled through the rest of the album, a video came up.

It was from the elevator’s security camera, showing them kissing passionately in the elevator.
