Chapter 187

He’s a Gem A striking young man entered the room. He seemed confident and intelligent, while his charisma made him more manly than a typical marketing manager.

“This is Grayson Newell,” Atlas said, “He can meet all your needs. Of course, you’re still my woman–

those needs are only for work–related matters.

His words made me flush. He always spoke so boldly before me. I mumbled, “What do you mean, your woman?”

Grayson scratched his head and grinned, addressing me, “Ms. Chloe.”

I gazed at him and asked, “If I wanted you to investigate something, could you do it?”

Grayson glanced at Atlas, then replied, “Anything you want, including contracts.”

His confident response surprised me. It was audacious, but I liked it. Meanwhile, Atlas wasted no time telling Grayson, “Start work tomorrow and obey Ms. Chloe’s instructions. You can go home now.”

“H–Hey, I still have some things to ask him!” I was interested in Grayson.

“Get out.” Atlas instructed Grayson in a low voice, then lowered his head to say to me, “Your time only belongs to me now.”

“Yes, Mr. Atlas!” Grayson nodded and left in a hurry.

“Hey, what are you doing? I still have questions for him!” I protested, feeling disappointed. “Can you stop being so overbearing all the time?”

Atlas turned to me with a hint of self–mockery in his smile. “It seems I’m not welcome here.”

I was annoyed with his response. “You’re not unwelcome. You’re always too busy, so I can’t welcome you!

I couldn’t suppress my jealousy. “You can do anything you please at my place, and you still dare say you’re not welcome here? Then, Mr. Domineering, enlighten me on what I should do to make you feel welcome.

He smirked and leaned closer, whispering, “Give… yourself… to me.”

Can’t you be more serious, you perv!” I turned around in frustration, attempting to avoid him.

Allas scoffed, it seems I have no place in your heart Fine I won’t bo I felt disappointed as I watched his retreating figure. I finally met him, and now he was leaving. “What are you doing? If you’re leaving, don’t bother coming back. You always disappear without a word and act like it’s reasonable.”

Atlas smirked at me and spoke sharply, “Are you sure you don’t hate me?”

I I was stunned, and my eyes welled with tears. “Have I ever said I hate you? You twisted my words. You didn’t call me when you’re back. Who’s the unwelcome one here? You’re busy with work and somebody else, so who am I?

1 waited for so long without a word. Do you only find others important, and I’m just here to help you pass the time-

Before I could finish, Atlas pulled me into a kiss. He held me tightly, and his soft words ignited my heart, Are you trying to argue with me? Didn’t I wait for you? I’ve been waiting for you all this time!”

His words melted my heart’s doubts and grievances. I was still in a daze when he asked, “Do you want to stay here or go home?”

I replied, slightly shocked, “I want to go home!”

He chuckled and took my hand to lead me out of my office.
