Chapter 107

At this moment, cold sweat started forming on Edward’s forehead as he focused completely on swerving the car to avoid other cars. He did not even dare to look back.

“I’m sorry, President Sawyer. Someone ran the red light, and I was trying to avoid them, but I accidentally pressed on the pedal too hard. Are you and Miss Reinhart alright?”.

Yet no one answered Edward’s question.

At this moment, Tessa and Nicholas were in an intimate position.

Nicholas lay on the seat while Tessa had her hands against his chest, as if she was trying to listen to his heartbeat. It was a peculiar situation, and they were breathing really close to each other.

In fact, Tessa could smell the subtle cologne on his body.

It was a seductive woodsy scent with a hint of musk.

Immediately, Tessa felt the tip of her ears heating up before she got embarrassed and quickly apologized. “I’m so sorry. I’ll get up now.”

Then, her hands pressed against the ground as she tried to support herself to get up.

However, Edward suddenly slammed on the brake pedal of the car.

Before Tessa could stabilize herself, she fell toward Nicholas, who was in front of her, again. This time, the situation got more outrageous as her lips landed on his!

Right then, Tessa was stunned as she stared at the enlarged handsome face in front of her with wide eyes and didn’t know what to do.

At the same time, Nicholas was also taken aback by the sudden kiss and couldn’t come back to his senses.

When Edward checked on them from the rearview mirror, he was instantly struck before he gulped and stuttered, “P-President Sawyer, I’m so sorry. I really didn’t do it on purpose. There was a person trying to cross the road, so … Are you guys alright?”

However, Nicholas didn’t say anything as he stared at the woman in front of him while enjoying the moisture and softness of her lips.

Although he had already kissed Tessa once at Dynasty Gardens last night, it wasn’t strictly a kiss.

Back then, he only performed CPR on Tessa as he thought that she had drowned and wanted to save her. Hence, he didn’t think much about it and didn’t feel anything.

However, it was a real kiss this time.

Normally, Nicholas would kick her out of the car and sanitize all parts of his body that were touched.

Yet, he didn’t do anything like that this time. Instead, his gaze darkened.

Nicholas didn’t hate Tessa’s scent or her touch, and this wasn’t his first time getting this weird feeling from Tessa.

He didn’t feel disgusted every time she touched him. In fact, he’d even crave for more.

Instinctively, Nicholas tightened his grip on her slender waist, as if he wanted to be closer and more intimate with her.

However, Tessa came back to her senses when Nicholas’s hand touched her waist, immediately jumping from fear.

At this moment, her rosy cheeks flushed red as if it was burning.

“I-I’m so sorry. I-I wasn’t trying to take advantage of you on purpose! All of it was an accident! I’m really sorry.”

As Tessa was still in a buzz, she got too anxious and ended up hitting her head on the ceiling of the car.

Because she was still sick, the hit on her head felt as if she had been struck by a blunt weapon. Soon, her tears started welling up because of the pain.

Right then, Tessa held her head with teary eyes and had the urge to dig a hole before hiding in it, as she was too embarrassed.

Nevertheless, Nicholas looked pleased after watching Tessa’s series of flurry movements before he straightened his posture and tidied his outfit before saying, “Why are you being so anxious when I didn’t even say anything?”
