Yvonne gently massaged her eyes. "It's not that. I was already feeling a little hungover when I woke
up this morning after drinking too much last night. Plus I had another two glasses just now so that
made it worse. I'll ask Sue to make some soup to relieve it."
After she said that, she got up and headed to the kitchen.
However, her foot got caught onto the sofa after taking a few steps.
She shrieked as she was caught off guard and began t o fall backward.
Henry's pupils contracted when he saw her falling and immediately grabbed onto her arm after
placing his glass on the coffee table.
However, Henry had grabbed onto her a little too late. Instead of being able to pull her up, he was
pulled down together with her and they both fell onto the ground. Luckily, neither of them were
injured due to the carpet that absorbed most of the impact.
Henry had landed on top of Yvonne and she was slightly uncomfortable with the weight on top of
her.
"U-um..." Her face blushed as she pushed the man's chest. "Could you get up please?"
Henry did not move and stared into her eyes instead.
She could feel her heart racing as she stared at Henryâs passionate gaze and her breathing became
heavy. "Youâre very heavy.â
She opened her mouth again.
This time, Henry lifted his upper body slightly but still did not stand up. Instead, he rested both his
arms on the ground around Yvonne's body. "You...â
Before he could even speak, a shriek came from behind him.
Henry raised his eyebrow and turned to look in the direction the shriek came from to see Sue
standing by the kitchen with a surprised look on her face.
"Sue!" growled Henry.
Sue gathered her emotions and awkwardly replied," Ahem... I was just coming out to pick up
something.â
"And have you taken it?" asked Henry coldly.
Sue rolled her eyes. "Yes I have, I should return to my work now. I shall not interrupt the two of you
then."
As she finished, Sue stifled her laughter and went back into the kitchen.
Silence fell in the living room again. Yvonne's face was now as red as a tomato.
She had never expected Sue to walk in and see the position they were in-Sue had even laughed at
her. How was Yvonne supposed to face her now?
Henry looked at her and single-handedly removed her hand from her face and asked, "Why are you
covering your face?"
"What do you think? Sue just saw what happened," scolded Yvonne, still blushing.
Henry snickered. "So what if she saw us? She's left already. Also, didn't she ask us to continue?"
"Continue?" Yvonne's eyes widened. "What are you intending to do?"
"What do you think?" asked Henry in return.
Yvonneâs eyes widened. "Are you thinking of doing it here?"
"Why not!" Henry exclaimed as he reached out for the glass of wine on the coffee table.
He then drank all the wine in the glass in front of her confused eyes.
As he finished, he placed the glass back onto the table, then used that hand to raise Yvonne's chin,
forcing her mouth open, then lowered in to kiss her and slowly transferred the wine from his mouth
to hers.
"Y-you...â Yvonne was stunned. The moment she realized what he was doing and wanted to speak,
she had been choked by the sudden gush of wine flowing into her mouth. 1
Henry got up and looked at her, waiting for her to finish coughing.
When she was almost done coughing, he went in to kiss her again before she could scold him for
forcing wine down her throat.
Alcohol was known to be used as a stimulant and the alcohol Yvonne had drank caused her to be
seduced away by Henry once again in addition to the condition she was already in.
She could not contain her excitement and was carried away in an instant. Her arms were raised and
wrapped around Henry's neck.
As he noticed Yvonne reacting to his advances, Henry felt even more encouraged and the intensity
of his kiss increased before he dominated her completely.
Gradually, the atmosphere in the living room changed and not long after, clothes began to scatter
everywhere
The next day, Yvonne got out of Henryâs car and waved at him before turning to leave.
Just as she was about to leave, Henry suddenly stood i n front of the elevator and shouted to her,
"Come up to my office for lunch from now on.â
"What?" Yvonne was startled. Before she could ask him for the reason, he had already entered the
elevator and the doors closed.
Helpless, she could only hold back her question.
She decided to have lunch at his office and save some money along the way which was a good
idea.
Yvonne began to hum and entered another elevator to head up to her Planning Department.
Lynette saw her and began to scan her, then rubbed her chin and teased, "Wow, look at you,
looking fabulous. I suppose you had your fair share of fun last night.â
Yvonneâs face blushed bright red. "What are you saying!"
"Judging by your reaction, I guess I'm correct then?" snickered Yvonne.
Yvonne slapped Lynette on the back and said," Alright, hurry up and turn on your laptop. It's time for
work."
"Alright alright.â Lynette nodded, proud at herself.
Time seemed to always pass very quickly in the morning. When it was lunchtime, Yvonne rejected
Lynetteâs request to have lunch together and secretly went to the private elevator while avoiding
everyone else.
As she arrived at the CEOâs office, Yvonne raised her hand to knock on the door when she
suddenly realized that the door was slightly ajar and a faint sob could be heard from the inside.
Hold on, sobbing?
Why would there be someone sobbing in Henryâs office?
Yvonne found it strange and couldnât help but feel curious. She bent and placed her ear by the slit in
the door to eavesdrop.
She was surprised to find out who the owner of the sound was.
It was Jacqueline!
What was she doing here?
Yvonne felt a little sour and bit on her lip subconsciously.
At that moment, she was not satisfied with only eavesdropping on their conversation. She pushed
the door silently to open it a little more. That way, she could have a look at what was happening
inside.
All she saw was Jacqueline wearing a white dress and standing in front of Henry's desk whilst
muttering something inaudible from her incessant crying.
"I beg of you Henry, please let my father go. I know you hate us for the things we've done, but it was
all my idea. If you really must have your revenge, blame it on me then..."
"Didn't I explain my intention to you clearly last night? Why did you come and find me personally
again today?" said Henry coldly.
Jacqueline's petite face paled. "Are you really going to be so cruel to me, Henry?â "I'm not the one
whoâs cruel, you are. You felt no remorse when you cruelly committed those crimes previously. Now
that youâre on the receiving end, suddenly Iâm the cruel one?â mocked Henry.
Jacqueline was so shocked by his words she stepped back in disbelief. "Canât we move past all this
now that it already happened a long time ago? I'm willing to kneel and apologize to Ms. Frey. Please
let my father g o, Henry, I can't bear to imagine what'll happen to him there due to his age. Plus, the
Conrad Group needs him."
Yvonne rolled her eyes in contempt as she heard this.
Kneel and apologize?
If that could solve and repent her sins, would there still be law and order?
