Chapter 1122

“You’re right, Mister Aaron. My uncle would do what you said, but I don’t want to live under his

protection forever. I want to learn how to be independent,” explained Annie.

Aaron was quite impressed by her attitude. “Huh, not bad. Was your colleague flirting with you just

now?”

The sudden change of topic shocked Annie. “No. He was asking me for help with his document. His

stapler was broken, you see.”

Aaron obviously did not believe her. “He’s quite the catch. He graduated from a famous university.

Good-looking. Tall. You can consider him since our company has no policy against office romance.”

Annie’s gaze wavered for a second before her eyebrows furrowed as she frowned. She felt

unbelievably humiliated, but she did not blow up at Aaron. She simply nodded and said, “Okay. I’ll

consider him if he shows signs of being interested in me. Thank you for your concern, Mister Aaron.”

After a moment of awkward silence, Aaron smiled and said, “Well, time for you to get back to work now.

If anyone comes to find me, tell me I’m at Xante’s office.”

“Yes, Mister Aaron.”

Aaron started making his way over to Xante’s office. At some point, he tugged at his tie to loosen it.

For some reason, he felt like he was suffocating.

Xante’s office was only a few steps from his. Given their relationship, he never knocked to announce

his arrival.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

Instead, he simply opened the door and said, “Hey Xante, did the boss call you? I don’t know why but

I’ve been feeling an—”

He stopped talking at the shocking sight before him.

Xante was pinned to the floor-to-ceiling window by a man who was sucking and kissing her neck.

‘I know that guy! He’s Sunny Rivera!’ thought Aaron in shock.

When Xante noticed Aaron had barged in, she calmly pushed Sunny away and straightened her

clothes before sitting down on her chair.

“Well, finish what you started. You’ve been feeling…?” prompted Xante after taking a sip of her coffee.

Aaron snapped out of his trance. “Umm… I’ve been feeling anxious. I’m worried Jeremy would do

something to hurt the boss.”

Xante pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses. “Me too. I’m planning to call the boss later.”

However, Aaron was obviously interested in something else by that point. He looked teasingly at the

hickey on Xante’s neck before walking over and poking it.

“Tsk, tsk! I never knew you were so wild, Xante.”

Xante frowned and was about to say something when Sunny slapped Aaron’s hand away.

“Keep your hands off her! You have no right to touch her!” said Sunny protectively.

Instead of being angry, Aaron laughed. “And you do? Is that why you were kissing her just now?” he

asked with a smirk.

Sunny’s face immediately turned red from the teasing. “At least I… I have more rights than you! Just…

Just keep your boundaries in the future!”

Aaron raised his eyebrow. “Why do you have more right than I do?”

Sunny’s face turned even red. “B—Because she…she’s my g…”

Aaron grinned wider. “Yes? Go on. She’s your, what?”

Sunny was too proud to finish his sentence, so he nudged Xante. “Hey, tell him what we are!”
