Chapter 118

Rachel Grey widened her eyes and struggled. “What are you trying to do?”

David Jones looked at her. His gaze slid down bit by bit and finally landed on her lips. “I demand

compensation.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he kissed her lips fiercely.

The man’s kiss was unlike his temperament. It was domineering, and he did not allow her to catch her

breath. As the kiss deepened, she felt the kiss convey his displeasure to her.

Rachel tried her best to control her breathing. The man reluctantly let go of her when she was about to

suffocate.

She clutched the shirt on his chest tightly, her lips slightly parted as she breathed heavily. Her fair

cheeks were bright red, and her almond–shaped eyes were moist. She looked somehow charming

even while being disheveled.

David looked at her, his eyes darkening. “The meeting might have to be postponed.”

Before Rachel could react, he leaned in and kissed her again.

This kiss was even more impudent than before. It was as if he wanted to swallow her whole.

He tightened his grip around her waist. He wished they would never separate again.

There was a fiery and ambiguous atmosphere in the narrow space within the car.

Then Rachel’s phone suddenly rang. The confusion in her eyes dissipated in an instant and she

regained her usual clarity.

Rachel pushed his chest. “I really should go.”

David pressed his forehead against hers and pinched her blushed earlobe. “See you tonight.”

It was just a simple action, but Rachel bolted out of the car in response.

David looked at Rachel leave and reached out to rub the corner of his lips with his. fingertips as if he

was reminiscing about the lingering warmth.

Suddenly, an idea flashed across his mind. He picked up his phone and made a call. “Add one more

person to the contract signing event with Johnson Corporation.”

After Rachel returned to the company, Linda noticed her swollen lips.

Linda’s intuition told her that it must be related to the man who suddenly barged into the office the last

time.

Linda gathered her thoughts and stepped forward, handing the prepared information to Rachel. “Ms.

Grey, this is the information about Stellar Corporation and the contract.”

Rachel nodded slightly. Then she realized that Linda had no intention of leaving. Rachel could not help

but look up at Linda. “Is there anything else?”

Linda pursed her lips. “I want to take a day off tomorrow…”

Are you in trouble?” Rachel raised her hand and slowly closed the document file.

Linda shook her head and smiled bitterly. “Tomorrow is my mother’s birthday, so I want to accompany

her…”

Upon hearing her answer, Rachel’s eyes flashed with understanding. “I’ll get someone to send you

there tomorrow.”

“There’s no need to trouble yourself Jessica promised to accompany me.” Linda smiled. apologetically.

Tve already troubled you enough over the years.”

Rachel was slightly stunned. She said flatly, “Then be careful on your way. Call me if you need anything

“Okay”

After walking out of the office, Linda took out her phone and contacted Jessica. “Jessica, Ms. Grey

approved my leave. How about we set off tonight?”

On the other end of the phone, Jessica responded lazily, “Anything you say.”

This mere sentence made Linda’s heart race uncontrollably.

Half an hour later, Stellar Corporation’s delegation arrived at the conference room.

Hearing the footsteps at the door, Rachel looked up and swept her gaze across everyone until she saw

the last man who walked in. The smile on her face froze slightly.

Didn’t Stellar Corporation say that David wouldn’t appear in this negotiation?

The man sensed her gaze and raised his eyebrows slightly. His thin lips curled into a faint.

smile.
