Ch. 381..385: Fatal Kiss Of The Vampire Chapter 381-385
Chapter 381: It’s No Big Deal
Seeing her boss coldly looking at her again, she almost escaped from the office with the pillow.
Dinah wasn’t afraid of his cold face at all and reached out her arms to hug his neck. “What have you been busy dealing with these days? You haven’t come home for a couple of days.”
“Couldn’t you see it?” Stephen pointed at the pile of documents on the table.
He just took over his family’s business and was occupied by work all day. Although he had a double master’s degree, he had little practical experience in doing business.
However, he was born to be a person who refused to admit defeat. In order not to let Adolph and the Cecil family down, he had been working quite hard to do his job better.
“Well, I can help you if you need,” Dinah said.
“What can you do to help me?” Stephen looked at her with disdain.
Dinah said with a smile, “I can help you organize the bookcase.” Saying that she got off Stephen’s legs and walked to the bookcase on the other side of this office.
It was finally quiet again in this CEO’s office, and Stephen continued to read each report.
When Stephen felt a little tired and moved his shoulders to relax them, he remembered Dinah was still here all of a sudden. Dinah was always talkative. Why was she so quiet today?
Stephen turned around and saw Dinah organizing the books in the bookcase with a serious face.
Dinah knew it clearly that Stephen had obsessive-compulsive disorder. He put things in certain positions, and nobody could change one centimeter of them. The books in his bookcase were placed in alphabetical order so that he could find the book he needed for the first time.
However, in this office, it was rare to see his habits. Without any doubt, he must be super busy these days.
Since Dinah couldn’t help him with his work, she at least could help him place the books in the right order.
Seeing the girl who always behaved like a naughty child suddenly became so serious placing the books according to the alphabet, there was a corner of Stephen’s heart quietly falling.
His eyesight became a little gentle and took another document to read.
His secretary was quite astonished today, but luckily she wasn’t fired.
She kept working and paid attention to the CEO’s office at the same time.
If her boss really hated the woman, he should have already chased her away. If the woman was really her boss’s wife, and they just have conflicts, for the time being, they should be arguing now. Why was it so quiet?
She couldn’t figure it out.
After a while, she decided to check it herself. If she could figure out the woman’s relationship with her boss, she would know how to deal with the woman in the future.
Thinking of that, she prepared two cups of coffee.
“Mr. Cecil, do you want some coffee?” She knocked lightly on the door.
“Come in.”
She pushed the door open and put the cups of coffee down on the table. Nevertheless, she only saw her boss alone in the office.
“The lady…” When she just opened her mouth, Stephen shook his hand to interrupt her. “Keep your voice low.”
He pointed ahead, and she turned to look over.
Jesus! She was greatly surprised again.
The woman who had pretended to be pregnant now was sleeping on the sofa with her boss’s suit coat covering her body.
Did it prove that they were really a couple?

In order not to let Kylie eat outside, Ethan specially arranged for someone to make a kitchen in the presidential suite.
Faith was busy cooking in the kitchen right now, and Lucas was helping her aside.
“Stop eating!” Faith hit Lucas’s hand.
Lucas drew his hand back at once and said with a broad smile, “I need to taste its favor.”
“You almost ate all of it!” Faith said. “When Lord Ethan comes later and chases us away to dine out, you must pay the bill!”
“No problem,” Lucas said, and quickly stole a shrimp from the pot. It was very hot, so he was shouting in pain, but still peeled it before throwing it into his mouth.
Kylie was surfing on the Internet at this time. She wanted to know how many famous actors and directors would attend the International Film Festival this year.
She was mentally-prepared to have no awards, but she still hoped to expand her network as an actress.
At first glance, she saw a famous Hollywood director.
“Mr. Keys!” Kylie exclaimed with shock. “I wish I could meet him.”
“Who?” Lucas walked to her, shaking his hand along the way to cool his hot finger down. “Monty Keys?”
“Yeah, he’ll attend the festival this year too,” Kylie said and turned the screen of the computer to face Lucas. “I wonder what film he brings with him this time.”
“He’s a very famous international director!” Lucas also admired Monty Keys.
“I love his West Cowboy so much!” Kylie said.
“It’s not easy to make friends with him.” Lucas pulled his lips.
Kylie didn’t want to ride on anyone’s coattails, but just wanted to make friends with him, so she began to read the life of Director Keys to know more about him.
Even if they couldn’t be friends, she hoped to have more common topics when she met him.
When she just finished her notes, Sally called her.
“How do you feel now, Sally?” Kylie asked with excitement.
“Not bad, Doctor Cecil gave me an ointment to remove the scar, and it’s very effective.” Sally’s voice sounded very happy. “My husband also said my skin is even better now after the surgery.”
“I feel so happy for you.” Kylie almost cried.
She didn’t expect Stephen was so warm-hearted under his cold face.
“Kylie, thank you so much for your help!” Sally said.
“My pleasure. It’s no big deal.”
“Probably it’s no big deal in your eyes, but you’ve saved my life. Kylie, please remain so kind and helpful forever.”
Kylie smiled. “I feel flattered now.”
“Ha-ha.” Sally also laughed. “I heard from Director Miller that you’re going to attend the International Film Festival? Congratulations!”
Chapter 382: Why Did She Had Such A Strange Dream?
Kylie thought to herself that she came here just to learn not to accept awards, so there was no need to congratulate her.
Even though she still thanked Sally. “Thank you, Sally! I’ll visit you once I’m home.”
“I’ll be out of the hospital after two days. You’re welcome to my home!” Sally said. “My husband said that you’re a lucky girl, and you can achieve more than me in the future.”
“Ha-ha, thanks,” Kylie said, and the door was pushed open at the same time.
Ethan showed up.
Kylie stood up at once and quickly walked to welcome him. The man saw her approaching and slightly bowed to kiss her.
After the kiss, Kylie said on the phone, “See you next time, Sally. I’ll visit you at your place when I’m back!”
“Great, see you then!” Sally said.
After hanging up the call, Kylie stood on her tiptoes to kiss the man again.
Ethan hugged her waist and kissed her for a long time.
“I miss you so much,” Kylie whispered after their lips parted.
“Me too.” Ethan tightened his arms and enjoyed tasting her soft lips.
Faith walked out with dishes in her hands. “Kylie, the… oh.” She saw them kissing and walked back to the kitchen at once.
Lucas also disappeared from the living room as fast as he could and hid in the kitchen, along with Faith, to share a dish together.
“Eat more, so we can order less when we leave later,” Lucas said while he was swallowing down food.
“Since when you become so mean?” Faith rolled her eyes at him.
“Don’t you know Kylie always lives an economical life? I learned from her,” Lucas said while kept eating fast.
Ever since Kylie became Lord Ethan’s woman, the level of her life standard had rapidly increased. However, she was still a very economical person and always looked around for the best buys.
Probably Kylie was a little mean, but she had none of the vanity so often associated with other beautiful actresses in the entertainment industry.
Lucas had followed Kylie’s lead for a long time, so he became economical too.
Ethan hugged Kylie to the sofa and sucked her wet lips. “Are you hungry? What do you want to have? I’ll cook for you.” Kylie laid lazily in his arms. “I don’t want to eat food, but you.”
Ethan pinched her jaw and beamed. “Then I’ll chase them away, so we can have enough in bed all day.”
“You’re so naughty!” Kylie pouted. “Is it alright that you come here and leave your company behind?”
“Don’t take me wrong. I come here for business.”
Kylie pursed her lips. She thought Ethan came here aiming to see her, but it turned out she was wrong. No matter what, Kylie still felt happy that he was here.
“How long do you need to deal with your business here?” Kylie asked. She wanted him to keep her company after the International Film Festival was over.
“Three days for business, and three days for personal affairs,” he said.
Kylie nodded but didn’t ask further about his personal affairs. “Why did you book the hotel owned by Star’s family? Aren’t you afraid…”
Ethan smiled. “Exactly because this is his hotel, he won’t hurt you here.” He kissed her shoulder. “And, he doesn’t want you to be in danger for the time being.”
“Are you still good friends?”
“Nope, we’re enemies in love.”
Hearing that, Kylie giggled.
Kylie didn’t have much appetite on the way here, but she suddenly was so starving after seeing Ethan. “I want to eat sweet-and-sour ribs!”
“No problem.” Ethan gently put her down on the sofa. “Have a rest for a while. I’ll cook for you.” He stood up and walked to the kitchen.
Faith and Lucas walked out of it at the same time.
“Lord Ethan, Faith burned the food,” Lucas explained with a smile. “Don’t worry. We already ate them up for the sake of Kylie’s health. Please cook some for Kylie.”
Faith glared at Lucas, then smiled at Ethan. “We won’t bother you any longer.”
When they just walked to the door, Ethan said in his deep voice, “Leave with your baggage too.”
“What?” Lucas was struck dumb for a second.
“Go get your room cards at the reception,” Ethan said, then walked into the kitchen.
“I knew we’d be chased away.” Lucas pushed his suitcase out.
Kylie was totally relaxed now and soon fell asleep.
In her dream, a cute little boy was standing under the blue sky with lots of white clouds, and a little puppy was sitting beside him.
She, instead, sat on a rocking chair in the distance, sipping a cup of coffee, reading a book, looking up at the child from time to time.
The boy was simply a miniature version of Ethan. He had a small face with beautiful features but didn’t smile at all. His two small hands were in his trouser pockets, and he was staring at a bone on the ground.
“Eat it,” the little boy said.
The little puppy whimpered, looking up at him. It seemed it wasn’t willing to do so.
“Eat it,” the little boy said again.
“Woof!” The little puppy stood up all of a sudden and ran to Kylie.
When Kylie just flipped a page of the book, she felt a corner of her clothes was gently pulled. “Mommy!”
She closed the book and bowed her head. “Babe…”
However, she suddenly got stuck in the throat after saying just one word. The little boy in front of her had the same face as Stephen!
“Ah!” Kylie woke up from her dream and abruptly sat up on the sofa.
She moved too fast and felt the pain in her stomach.
Kylie glanced at the kitchen and saw Ethan was still busy cooking. She quickly walked to the bathroom and washed her face with cold water.
She looked at herself in the mirror. Her face was so pale, and her breath became unsteady.
Why did she had such a strange dream?
Kylie was growingly doubtful whether she was still under the hypnosis of Stephen. If not, why did she dream her child resembled Stephen?
Her arms pressed on the basin, making a crisp sound.
Kylie took a towel to wipe the water on her face and cleaned the bracelet at once. She wasn’t used to wearing jewelry yet, and almost damaged the bracelet.
“Kylie?” Ethan called her name.
“Coming!” she said and patted her cheeks to cheer herself up. “I’m in the bathroom.”
“Come here now,” Ethan said.
Kylie walked out to him and sat by the dining table. Seeing her favorite dish on the table, she threw up at short notice.
“What’s wrong?” Ethan got nervous. “Do you feel uncomfortable?”
“It’s fine. Pregnant women often feel like vomiting.” Kylie smiled to comfort him.
However, she remembered she also felt like vomiting once Stephen approached her when she had been with Stephen on the boat.
Could this man in front of her be Stephen in Ethan’s clothing?
Chapter 383: Human-Skin Mask
Seeing she didn’t feel well, Ethan caught her hand.
“Let’s go to the hospital for a check-up.” He insisted.
“Don’t panic. It’s very common for a pregnant woman.” Kylie smoothed her hair and asked him all of a sudden, “Is it real what you’ve told me about Dora?”
Ethan was slightly surprised. He didn’t expect Kylie would ask that.
“What are you asking about?” he said in a deep voice.
Kylie smiled. “The human-skin mask.”
In order to achieve a certain effect, an actor would put on a lot of fake skin on his or her face during shooting, but the audience couldn’t find it out because of lights.
If someone was really wearing a human-skin mask in real life, it was highly possible that others would notice it.
Ethan stared at Kylie’s eyes, then smiled. “Are you doubting whether I’m real Ethan or not?”
Kylie moved her eyes away at once. “Nonsense!”
The man moved to sit by Kylie’s side, and his fingers run in her beautiful hair. “Even though you can’t recognize my face, I bet you must know my skills very well. Come on, have a check!”
“Leave me alone!” Kylie laughed.
She now was sure this shameless man in front of her eyes must be Ethan.
“Why do you have that thought?” He hugged her up and let her sit on his legs, then fed her like she was his baby.
Kylie shook her head to avoid the spoon but was still forced to have half a bowl of the soup before she told him the reason.
“I understand.” Ethan wiped her mouth clean. “A human-skin mask sounds ridiculous, but it has long been used in special arms.”
“Do you mean a spy?” Kylie asked. “Almost. I’m not certain who is helping Dora now, but I’m sure he’s very skillful at changing a person’s face.” Ethan squinted. “Don’t act alone before we find Dora.”
“Sure.” Kylie leaned against Ethan’s strong chest. Although her suspicion of him was removed, she still felt anxious.
Ethan grabbed her hand and lifted it up, looking at the transparent bracelet. “Why don’t you wear the ring I’ve sent you, but this worthless thing.”
“How come it’s worthless!” Kylie drew her hand back at once. “This is your mother’s family heirloom!”
Ethan wore a gentle smile. “Heirloom is just a gimmick.”
“Don’t put it so directly. This is the spiritual sustenance of your mother,” Kylie said, then remembered something. “Didn’t you tell me your mother has a twin sister? I think I’ve seen this bracelet somewhere before.”
“You’ve seen it?” Ethan was annoyed in an instant. “No matter who she is, I won’t accept her.”
Kylie sighed. “Mother’s temper is so good. There is no reason that she couldn’t get along with others. If there is really a conflict, a mother must be the victim.” Ethan snorted with anger and stopped talking about this topic.
This spacious presidential suite fell into the silence within a second.
Kylie soon felt sleepy, hugging Ethan’s neck. When she was about to close her eyes, she heard his low deep voice saying by her ear.
“My mother was assaulted by a man and then had me in her belly.”
Hearing that, Kylie abruptly sat up, looking at Ethan.
“Do you mean…” She rounded her eyes in shock, and an idea dawned on her.
Ethan was silent for a while before he opened his mouth again. “Yeah, my mother indeed is the victim.”
Kylie felt so sad.
Why? What has happened before?
Kylie couldn’t figure it out, and Ethan began to tell her the heartbreaking story in a more detailed way, which she had already heard before.
In the end, she remembered where she had seen this bracelet last time.
It was her first meeting with Agnes. There was also a bracelet of this shape around her wrist, but its color was a little different.
“How did you get to know the story?” Kylie clasped Ethan, trying to comfort him with her body.
“I saw my mother crying with this bracelet once, and I was very curious about it, so I did an investigation.” Ethan patted Kylie’s back like she needed comfort more than him.
Kylie rubbed against his chest with her head and asked, “If, I mean, if you know who is your biological father, what will you do?”
“I only have a father who is old, Mr. Parker.” Ethan held her hand and kissed it back. “I also only have a wife.”
Kylie didn’t say it aloud that she thought Agnes and old Mrs. Parker could be twin sisters.
In fact, in her heart, she hoped there was no connection between them at all.
Ethan rubbed her hair and sighed. “I need comfort now.”
Kylie approached him and kissed his cheek with great force.
“Another side.” He turned his head to the other side.
Kylie kissed him again with a smile.
“And in the middle.”
Kylie laughed, but Ethan hugged her up before she could kiss him once more. “Let’s go appreciate the moon!”
Kylie sat on the high stool in the terrace, leaning against the man’s strong body and appreciating the silver-like moon above her head.
“Wow, it’s so beautiful!”
“Do you know what day it is today?” Ethan asked her all of a sudden.
“What?” Kylie was struck dumb for a second. “Monday?”
“We’ve been together for a whole 100 days,” Ethan said and pinched her cheek with a gentle smile.
“Oh!” Kylie was surprised and beamed with happiness.
The moon in the sky hid into the thin clouds, and the light-colored light emerged, making it even more mysterious.
“Let’s take a photo together to remember this moment!” Kylie said and took out her phone.
However, she didn’t take their faces but pointed the camera at the shadows on the ground.
Ethan stood while she sat.
The girl was looking up to him with admiration.
Someone said the whole world was barely comparable to a woman you loved. Kylie, instead, thought she already owned this world once she had Ethan.
With a shutter sound, this dreamy moment was remembered.
Kylie wasn’t good at shooting, but the two ordinary shadows were coated with a layer of beautiful light with the help of a beauty application.
She posted it on her Instagram at once, along with a line of words.
Does he or she appreciate the beautiful moon with you tonight?
Within 10 minutes, over ten thousand people re-posted her post.
Some thought the male shadow in the picture must be Kylie’s new boyfriend. Many people wished Kylie to be happy and criticized William again at the same time.
Some also believed the man must be a handsome actor in the entertainment industry, given his perfect profile and body shape, and Kylie must be attracting attention for her new show.
Nobody noticed there was a very unkind comment left below her post.
You just sold your body for money and fame. You will regret it when you knew his real identity!
Chapter 384: He Transform Into His Real Form
“Well, since you love me so much, I’ll give you a chance to confess your love to me.” Kylie played with his beautiful slim fingers. “Tell me a hundred reasons why you love me.”
“What’s the reward?” he asked in his tender voice.
“Um.” Kylie licked her lips. “Whatever you want.”
In Ethan’s ears, it meant he could make love with her no matter how he wanted.
Therefore, Ethan told her a reason and pressed her finger down one at a time.
“You have a sharp tongue.” A finger down.
“Appeared at the right timing.” Another finger down.
“You cured me.” Kylie was speechless.
“Acceptable personality.”
Was he really complimenting her?
“A little mean.”
Kylie was annoyed, and she glared at him.
“Sometimes, impulsive. You’re not a good girl, but I’m willing to spoil you.” Just when Kylie was about to say something, the man interrupted her and kept counting.
“You’re very considerate, and most importantly…” He moved near and said right by her ear. “You’ll let me f*ck you as I like.”
“You’re a bad man!” Kylie couldn’t stand it anymore. “Those aren’t the reasons why you love me!”
“Well, now, I want my reward.” Ethan started to undress her.
Kylie caught his hand and stopped him. “It’s far away from a hundred!”
“What did you say just then?” Ethan kissed and sucked her neck to arouse her. Suddenly an intense heat came inside him, his eyes contracted, and his fang began to grow when he smelled his wife’s blood.
“No, I can’t hurt her. She’s my wife! She’s pregnant with my child! This isn’t happening, not this time!” Ethan screamed silently, and he had a hard time controlling his mind and body. He knew he had transformed into his natural form of being a vampire. It’s been many months that he had consumed Stephen’s special medicine to retain his human form but suddenly today the beast inside him awakened.
His mind was in chaos and his body began to release his strong power, “Noo!!!! Why now? Why do I have to transform into a beast suddenly?” His struggle continued without Kylie’s knowledge. He firmly held her inside his arms and avoided meeting her eyes.
Kylie felt like she was on fire now. She insisted on not having lovemaking with him unless she heard something good from his mouth. Her husband became silent.
“I-I told you to tell me a hundred reasons why you love me…”
“I did.” He kissed her downwards, forcing Kylie to raise her head, so she could not see what had happened to him.
“You-you just said ten.” And the ten reasons weren’t compliments.
Why couldn’t he say she was beautiful, considerate, sexy, or else just to please her? Why did he have to say she was a little mean and sometimes impulsive? And she felt his strong grip on her body.
Ethan remained silent and continue kissing down along her neck. Kylie felt a little pain coming from a weird sharp object that touched her neck and she quickly raised her fist to hit him, but Ethan caught her wrists and lifted them high above her head and continue what he was doing.
She felt a sudden coldness, and his kiss pace changed.
Ethan unfastened every button by his mouth and sucked her nipple without hesitation.
“Mm.” Kylie’s body trembled a little with sexual pleasure.
She clenched her teeth. “Stop! Ethan, your way of kissing makes me feel something wrong. Are you a vampire?” She suddenly blurted out, jokingly. “I felt your sharp teeth suck my neck!” She growled again.
Hearing Kylie’s remark, Ethan forced himself to return into his human form but kept sucking her nipple, and his voice was unclear. “I am not a vampire! ” He lied. “Honey, lovemaking is another form of talk, where I’ll act on the words instead of saying them.”
Releasing his inner special power, he started whispering into Kylie’s mind to erase the memory of today’s event and she couldn’t stop her eyes closing gradually, following the strong force that was dragging her senses into a different dimension. After a few minutes with Ethan’s quick finger snap, she returned to reality.
To be honest, Kylie couldn’t think clearly now, but she knew the number wasn’t right.
Kylie’s heart was pounding fast.
She had to admit that it was his voice that undressed her.
Ethan pressed against his head against her chest. Probably he heard her fast heartbeat, so he licked her nipple. “Are you satisfied?”
“Yeah…” A current burned fast through her tailbone to the top of her head.
“I want you…” Kylie whispered.
“No problem.” Ethan pulled Kylie’s waist forward with his hands and sandwiched his manhood in an instant.
“Ah!” Kylie couldn’t help but shout out, and she found Ethan was already naked at short notice.
Ethan hugged her and stood up quickly. Kylie was afraid she would fall down, so she clasped her neck. In fact, there was no need for her to worry about it because Ethan was supporting her with his big palms.
“Let’s work out together!” Ethan said, striding to the bedroom.
Kylie, instead, flushed red in his arms.
They were closely connected like that, and his manhood moved in and out when he was walking. Kylie felt quite comfortable, but it was barely enough.
She bit her lips, resting her head on his neck, breathing in.
There was a faint smile on Ethan’s lips. He then took bigger steps and supported Kylie’s body to move up and down.
“Don’t…” Kylie moaned. It was pure torture.
Ethan smiled. “You said I could do whatever I want.”
Kylie was more regretful than ever now.
The bedroom at hand close now was far away from accessible in Kylie’s eyes.
She wasn’t willing to accept it and tried to resist it.
“Don’t squeeze it!” Ethan moaned.
“Ha! Are you satisfied?” Kylie summoned up her energy to one place.
With a clear sound, Ethan slapped her butt lightly.
He walked into the bedroom, carrying Kylie without delay, and pressed on her body against the bed. “Let’s begin!”
After that, he knocked her with great force.
Kylie’s back was rubbing the sheet, and she soon indulged herself in the lovemaking pleasure. However, just when she thought she could finally have enough now, Ethan stopped again.
“I just told you ten reasons why I love you, and now let’s try ‘Nine Shallow One Deep.”
Why did he have to play games in bed? Kylie didn’t know what to do, but could only ask, “Is it shallow nine times and deep at the last time?”
“Nope.” Ethan put on an evil smile. “You can count. Once it’s nine, a number with nine or a multiple of nine, I’ll knock you harder.”
Kylie rolled her eyes. Where did he learn those tricks?
“Come on!” Ethan rubbed his manhood on her.
“One, two, three, four… nine, ah!” Kylie shouted out under a heavy attack.
“From the beginning again!” Ethan said.
“One, two, three…” At this time, Kylie was already prepared when she counted seven.
However, Ethan knocked her with great force when she was just counting eight.
“Ah! You’re wrong!” Kylie shouted with excitement again.
“Well, then let’s play it from the beginning again.” He laughed.
Kylie clenched her teeth. He was torturing her on purpose!
During this night, Ethan became her math teacher and taught her what were multiples of nine and numbers with nine by action.
When Kylie fall asleep, Ethan quickly went out and called Nate.
“Nate, I think the medicine didn’t work anymore because I suddenly transform into my original form,”
“Lord Ethan, you need to talk to Stephen soon; he is the only one who can alleviate your struggle. If Kylie learns all of these, she might not accept you,” said Nate.
“I know, I will back soon and find ways to settle the personal matters between Stephen and me,”
“Okay! We’ll wait for you here!”
Luckily, the International Film Festival would begin the next day evening, so Kylie could have a nice sleep for a whole day.
Chapter 385: Do You Trust Me Now?
Dinah stretched her arms when she woke up.
She felt quite warm when she fell asleep, but somehow felt a little cold now when she was awake.
“Don’t you even have air conditioners in your company?” Dinah turned to ask the man who was still working by the office table.
Stephen didn’t bother to glance at her. “We’re all busy working and sweating. Probably you can turn the air conditioners on.”
Dinah pulled her lips. She was talking about warm air, but he meant cold air.
Seeing the two cups of coffee placed on the table, Dinah walked over and didn’t hesitate to drink one of them.
“Oh!” she yelled. If Stephen hadn’t escaped fast, she could have spouted coffee all around him.
“It’s so damn hot!” Dinah was annoyed.
Stephen drew out a tissue and cleaned the coffee on the table with a calm face, then stood up.
“Organize this office well.” Saying that he then left at once.
“Do you trust me now?” Dinah mumbled and then began to put the books on the table back to the bookshelves.
Someone knocked on the door again, and the secretary pushed it open, walking inside. “May I help?”
“Yes, please,” Dinah said. “Arrange the books in his bookshelves in alphabetical order.”
The Secretary was struck dumb for a second. The things in the big bookshelves hadn’t been moved for a long time, and nobody had ever touched it after a new president occupied this office.
Arrange the books in the bookcase in alphabetical order? The Secretary thought it was impossible that she could get off work today.
However, when she walked to the bookshelves’ front, she found the books were already well-arranged. “Well…”
Dinah glanced at her. “It’s already finished, and you must put them like that in the future.”
Afterward, Dinah pointed at the clean desktop. “Here. Place the pen with its nip upwards. Note should be placed on the left, five centimeters from both sides of the table.”
The secretary was surprised. “Please wait a second. I need to write it down.”
She dashed to her desk and soon come back with a pen and notebook. “Please continue.”
“No milk in his coffee, but a half sugar,” Dinah added. “He doesn’t drink, so remember to prepare soda for him when he goes to socialize with business partners.”
“And, he seldom smokes. If you see him smoking two successive cigarettes, he must encounter some trouble…” Dinah paused for a moment and took the pen in the secretary’s hand to write down her phone number. “You can call me if you need it.”
“Miss Chen, are you…”
She’s so familiar with the life habits of President Cecil, could she be his former secretary? The secretary thought to herself. Does she come here to compete for my job?
“I’m his wife.” Dinah smiled. “Still on trial.”
The secretary was amused. “My name’s Selina Hebrew, and I’m President Cecil’s chief secretary.”
“That’s all I can think of now, and I’ll tell you more if I remember any.” Dinah put the documents in order. “Oh, he hates acrid smells.”
Hearing that, Selina took a step back at once.
As an office lady, she wore some perfume every day to show her respect for her boss and clients.
“What’s the boss’s favorite odor?” Selina asked.
“He can accept the smell of disinfectant,” Dinah said.
What? Disinfectant?
Seeing Selina being confused, Dinah explained with a smile. “You can use disinfectant to clean his office.”
Exactly because of Dinah’s advice, Selina felt like she entered the hospital every time she came to report to Stephen in his office in the future. Even other secretaries all started to wear diluted disinfectant instead of perfume.
“Which floor is your staff cafeteria on?” Dinah asked.
“Thirteen floors.” Selina’s hands shook a little when she was taking notes. Did she have to write down her boss’s favorite food too?
Dinah nodded, then told Selina to go out with her. “I need to eat something now. Please make a call and charge it to your boss’s account.”
In fact, there was no need for Selina to make the call because Dinah noticed Stephen walking by the window once she walked into the cafeteria.
He sat facing the outside of the window with a frown.
The photo he had found in Adolph’s safe always emerged before his eyes.
There were two women standing separately by young Adolph’s sides in the photo.
He knew both of them.
One was young Agnes, who seemed arrogant with a satisfied smile on her face, while the girl standing by Adolph’s other side was gentle and quiet.
This girl was exactly Ethan’s mother, Barbara Morgan.
Stephen’s hands were clenched to fists.
Barbara was the woman who had been sent to Adolph’s bed by Agnes because Agnes wanted to consolidate her position in the Cecil family. In that case, Ethan was Adolph’s biological son, but the latter didn’t seem to know the truth; instead, he accepted the old Parker as his father.
Stephen hated Adolph and his wife to death, but he wouldn’t stand up to the Cecil family before he had full control of its family business.
If Adolph found out Ethan’s connection with him, Ethan would replace Stephen’s position.
Stephen wasn’t as powerful as Ethan. If he was deprived of his title of Lord Stephen now, it would be impossible that he could revenge himself on his enemies.
Why? Why Ethan is better than me in every aspect!
He already has the woman I love deeply, and now he’s even going to deprive me of my identity!
Stephen was in a rage, but he suddenly felt the warmth on his hand.
He turned his head and saw Dinah, who sat across him with her hands covering his fist. “What did you think that makes you so angry?”
In fact, it was hard to judge his mood from Stephen’s face, but Dinah knew him too well, so she knew it clear what his subconscious movement meant.
Stephen drew his hand back and threw the menu to the front of Dinah with a calm face. “Order whatever you like.”
“Of course, I will!” Dinah waved her hand at a waiter, and the waiter came over at once. She ordered three dishes, two of which were Stephen’s favorites.
When the dishes were just placed on the table, Dinah’s phone rang. She gave it a glance, then glanced at Stephen before she answered it. “Hi!”
“Hi, Dinah, where are you now?” Agnes’s voice sounded on the phone.
“I’m somewhere near the Seattle Commerce Center,” Dinah said. The building of Cecil’s corporation was located somewhere right by the Seattle Commerce Center.
“I just saw a great house. Why don’t you come over and have a look?” Agnes said with a smile.
“A house? We’re already living in a good house.” Dinah looked at Stephen.
Stephen took Dinah’s phone and said, “Mom, I’ve already settled the house. Please don’t bother.”
“It’s your house, but this one’s for Dinah!” Agnes said. “Since you’re together, come here together right now. Garbo Palace.”
Garbo Palace? Couldn’t she find another good living area in Seattle except for Garbo Palace?
Before Stephen could oppose it, Agnes hung up immediately.
“What did she say?” Dinah asked.
“She’s going to buy a house for you in Garbo Palace.” Stephen put his phone on the table. “Be quick. We must go there right after done eating.”
Dinah rounded her eyes in shock. “Garbo Palace? That’ll be great! Kylie and I will be neighbors!” She grabbed Stephen’s fork away, which he just took. “Stop eating! Let’s go there right now.”
When Selina just arrived at the cafeteria, she saw her boss pulled into the VIP elevator by her boss’s wife.
“How much is President Cecil’s lunch?” Selina asked a waiter.
The waiter pointed at the dishes which hadn’t been tested yet on the table. “200 dollars.”
“Pack them up!” Selina said.
In order to please President Cecil’s wife, she decided to deliver these dishes to her boss’s place in person when she was off-duty.
Currently, Stephen and Dinah didn’t know what to say, standing in front of their new home.
This high-end house before their eyes was decorated in a classic style, but not luxurious. Its well-arranged layout made people fall in love with it at first glance. In addition, there was a full set of brand new furniture inside.
However, the point was this was right at the house next to Ethan, where he and Kylie often stay!
