Ch. 1871..1880

Chapter 1871 Deliberately Came to Nauseate You

Yvette was stunned.

Another person also nodded and spoke.

"That's right. What's an ex-girlfriend anyway? She clearly wants to get back together with Mr. Sheldon.

Otherwise, why would she pick our company out of so many companies out there? It's obvious that she doesn't have any good intentions!"

"Yeah! She definitely has an ulterior motive. Recently, she's been making friends everywhere in the company and inquiring about your affairs, but I didn't reveal anything!"

"Tell me about it! We're always on your side, Ms. Quimbey. How can that woman compare to you? You can crush her to death in a second!"

"Ms. Quimbey, don't worry. Since she joined our company, Mr. Sheldon hasn't spoken to her privately. I'm keeping an eye on them for you!" Yvette just felt like someone punched her in the face.

She was dumbfounded for a moment. Through their conversation, Yvette figured out that Lance's ex-girlfriend joined Sheldon Corporation, yet she was completely kept in the dark about it. Moreover, Lance's ex-girlfriend is currently in this private room. Yvette subconsciously scanned the surroundings. She recognized most of the people who came over. However, her eyes suddenly stopped at one spot.

Aman and a woman sat in the singing area. The woman smiled and did not speak, as if she did not fit in here. However, the man was very attentive, offering her the fruit platter.

That man, Simon Lane, was an ordinary employee who joined the company not long ago. Everyone liked him because of his sweet talk, so they would also invite him to all sorts of parties. This time was no exception, so Yvette did not think much of it.

However, that woman beside Simon was somewhat familiar.

At first, Yvette took her as Simon's girlfriend.

Now, it seemed more like Simon trying to suck up to that woman. At that moment, the woman seemed to sense something and turned her head; just in time to lock eyes with Yvette.

At that second, Yvette could confirm that this woman was Lance's ex-girlfriend, the one who took the money and left. Heh...

Yvette thought, 'She came back wanting to pick up where she left off, huh?'

In the next second, Yvette indifferently averted her gaze. The receptionist next to Yvette lowered her head and advised her.

"Ms. Quimbey, this woman isn't easy to deal with. Back then, before you met Mr. Sheldon, she went in and out of the office as she pleased and closed a lot of deals using Mr. Sheldon's name. Mr. Sheldon repeatedly warned her not to, but it was useless."

Yvette was no longer in the mood for drinking and wanted to make a scene, but she stopped herself.

If Yvette made a scene now, it would seem like she really cared about that woran's existence.

'Who is she, anyway?' Yvette thought as she picked up the glass of whiskey on the side and took a sip.

Yvette smiled meaningfully and said, "Oh? I don't know much. I just heard a little about it. Why would my husband talk about his ex-girlfriend in front of me anyway?"

Another colleague said, "Right, but as Sun Tzu said, if you know your enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the results of a hundred battles. It's better to be prepared!"

The receptionist said, "It's actually nothing. She's just a clown that can't compare to Ms. Quimbey at all, so how long will she be able to stir things up?"

Another colleague disagreed. "Well, we still can't let her stir up too much of a fuss since she clearly has nothing to lose. If she succeeds, she'll be the next Mrs. Sheldon. Even if she fails, she still managed to nauseate Ms. Quimbey! Ms. Quimbey, even though I think that you're very capable, I'm still worried for you!"

Everyone discussed this topic with interest. In the end, they looked at Yvette with sympathy.

Although Yvette had a high status as Lance's wife and the vice president of Sheldon Corporation, it was quite a pity that she was in such a revolting situation.

Everything was not as shiny and perfect as it seemed on the surface. Her colleagues no longer concealed their expressions since Yvette was already aware of this.

Yvette was speechless and thought, Can they stop looking at me with such an expression?! I'm so much richer than them!'

Chapter 1872

Everyone, except for Yvette and Lance’s ex-girlfriend, was in a good mood.

Yvette could not sit still anymore. She took out her phone and sent a text message to Lance.

[Pick me up.]

It was only three words and not a single more.

Yvette just wanted to show off her and Lance’s happy life together to that woman.

As a result, Lance replied in the next second. [I’m still in a discussion, so I’ll get the driver to pick you up.]

Yvette was so angry that the veins on her forehead bulged out. She immediately typed back.

[No, I want you to come in person!]

This made her seem a little unreasonable.

In the past whenever Yvette made a fuss, Lance would just play along if he was free. If he was busy, he would reason with Yvette, and she would listen.

However, this time, Yvette did not care and was being somewhat unreasonable.

Lance put away his phone and continued to talk to Grant.

Nicole and Aida were making dessert, and Clayton was playing with the two kids on the carpet.

It was a cozy atmosphere.

At that moment, Nicole’s phone beeped, but she did not hear it. Aida reminded her. “You got a message.”

Nicole froze for a moment and went over to take a look.

She laughed.

“It’s Yvette. I think she’s had too much to drink!” Yvette messaged Nicole. [Is Lance still there?]

Nicole replied. [Yeah, you should come over too! Mr. Anderson hired a new chef. He’s really good!]

If it were any other day, Yvette would have gladly gone over, but this time, she didn’t.

Yvette replied. [I won’t go over. Help me tell Lance that I won’t leave until he comes to pick me up.]

Nicole chuckled. [Okay.]

Although Yvette had a temper, she was usually not so unreasonable.

Nicole walked over and said with a smile, “Mr. Sheldon, do you want to go and pick Yvette up? She said that she won’t leave until you go...”

Grant wrinkled his eyebrows slightly. “That temper...”

He shook his head. Since Lance was around, Grant did not make it so obvious.

Yvette has always been like this.

Lance rubbed his temples and laughed. “Don’t worry.

I’ve asked someone to pick her up. She’s just making a fuss because she’s drunk and feeling guilty.”

Nicole raised her eyebrows and thought, ‘Anyway, I already conveyed Yvette’s message. Yvette making a fuss, huh? Looks like Lance knows her very well now!’

She turned around and went back to Aida.

Aida smiled. “It seems that Ms. Quimbey and Mr. Sheldon are much closer than what outsiders might think.”

Nicole smiled and raised her eyebrows.

“Yvette has a good personality and gets along with anyone. She really likes Lance. Otherwise, she wouldn’t quarrel with him.”

Aida nodded in agreement.

In the club’s private room.

Everyone saw that Yvette did not have any emotional fluctuations. She was joking with them as before and did not seem affected at all.

They secretly thought that Yvette was stronger than they imagined.

When the party was over, Yvette generously called a taxi for everyone.

They all said their goodbyes at the entrance of the club. The cold wind blew, sobering them up further.

Yvette wrapped her jacket tighter and looked at her phone. There was nothing.

There were still a few people, who had too much to drink, lagging behind. Yvette put away her phone and looked back.

Lance’s ex-girlfriend was supporting that bootlicker, Simon, as they walked outside. Simon was drunk, so he was staggering while he walked. However, his eyes were filled with admiration when he looked at Lance’s ex-girlfriend.

However, Lance’s ex-girlfriend was expressionless. Besides supporting Simon, she did not show another hint of concern.

Simon was clearly into her, but his feelings were unrequited.

Lance’s ex-girlfriend saw Yvette. The two women looked at each other for a moment. They probably knew all about each other, but both of them pretended to be unaware.

Chapter 1873

Yvette walked forward, like a superior who cared for her subordinates. She smiled at the two people and said, “Simon, you drank too much. Go home and rest well.”

Simon muttered, “I can still drink, Ms. Quimbey. Let’s have another drink!”

Yvette laughed. “Simon, we can drink again next time. You drank so much by yourself and didn’t take good care of your girlfriend, huh?”

Even though Simon was drunk, he still blushed and looked at the woman next to him.

Just as he was about to say something, the woman suddenly let go of Simon and kept her distance from him. Her tone was cold as she said, “I’m not his girlfriend.”

Simon stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

When he finally managed to stand firmly on his own, he rubbed his head and did not know what he should say.

Yvette narrowed her eyes and laughed out loud.

“If you’re not his girlfriend, how can you attend this kind of party? Only family members can tag along. Miss, don’t treat him like a fool or a backup. If you didn’t lead him on, why would he bring you along?”

That woman’s gaze was cold as hell as she glared at Yvette.

Yvette let out a light laugh and felt very satisfied. She had a complete victory this round.

Just as she turned around, her phone rang. Lance must have arrived.

Yvette looked at them with a smile and spoke.

‘then please send Simon home. My husband came to pick me up. He just loves me so much and can’t bear to leave me for a moment!”

After saying that, she took out her phone and answered the call.

“Madam, I’m here waiting for you at the entrance.” It was the driver’s voice.

Yvette’s face instantly turned glum. Lance did not show up.

The driver’s voice through the phone also reached that woman’s ears.

A mocking smile surfaced on the woman’s gloomy face like she was watching Yvette making a fool of herself.

Yvette was about to explode. She kept it in all night, yet Lance was trying to add fuel to the fire.

The car stopped at the entrance, and the driver got out to wait for Yvette.

Yvette did not stay any longer. She walked over and got into the car.

The driver saw that Yvette was in a bad mood and did not dare to say anything. His expression changed slightly when he inadvertently glanced at the woman standing outside.

He looked like he saw an enemy.

The driver was afraid that he would be recognized and almost crouched down to get into the car. After he got into the car, he realized that Yvette had probably met that woman earlier.

He was hesitating whether to tell Lance about this.

Yvette, who was sitting at the back, squinted her eyes in silence and did not speak.

Suddenly, Yvette asked in an aggressive tone, “Where is Lance? Why didn’t he come over?”

The driver glanced at Yvette from the rearview mirror and carefully replied, “Mr. Sheldon is at the Stanton Mansion for a social function and really couldn’t

excuse himself, so he asked me to come and pick you up."

Yvette snorted coldly. “I called him more than an hour ago, and the Stanton Mansion is only ten minutes away. Where were you during this time?”

If the driver was not late, Yvette would have left long ago.

Yvette could have left in style and made that woman feel envious and resentful. How great would that be?

The driver paused. “A client came over at the last minute, so Mr. Sheldon told me to send the client to

the hotel before picking you up.”

He could only tell the truth. Otherwise, he could not handle Yvette’s wrath.

Yvette laughed in exasperation and thought, ‘Is a client more important than me?!’

Her anger was reaching its peak.

She thought, ‘Lance keeps doing this to me. Does he really think that I have a good temper?’

The two of them got along very well since they got married. Although they were not deeply in love with each other, they were still attracted to each other.

They slowly got to this point in their relationship and were considered a perfect couple.

Chapter 1874

However, their relationship was so sweet that Yvette had overlooked the underlying problems.

Lance was attentive, considerate, and tolerant toward Yvette. He pampered her, so much so that Yvette was sure that he liked her.

After all, Yvette had a lot of dating experience and knew how to read men.

Therefore, Yvette would not allow others to ruin her marriage. Even more so, she would not allow herself to lose to an ex-girlfriend.

The driver was stunned, and the car was silent for a few seconds.

Only then did the driver ask, “Madam, should we go to the Stanton Mansion?”

Lance’s exact words were, “Bring her to the Stanton Mansion. If she drank too much, then just send her home.”

However, the driver could not tell whether Yvette had too much to drink or not at this moment.

After Yvette heard this, she sneered. “No, I want to go home!”

The driver immediately said yes without another word and drove in the direction of Yvette’s and Lance’s house.

Lance waited for a long time at the Stanton Mansion, but Yvette still did not show up. He only found out that Yvette had gone home after the driver called to inform him.

Yvette did not send Lance any more messages.

Lance was eating, and he immediately lost his appetite.

Nicole noticed that Lance was absent-minded, so she smiled and said, “Yvette must’ve had a little too much to drink. Mr. Sheldon, don’t get mad at her. Otherwise, you’ll just die from anger.”

Lance laughed. “I’ll bring her over next time. My apologies for leaving beforehand.”

Since they were done talking business, Grant and the rest did not keep Lance and sent him out.

After Lance left, Grant laughed and shook his head.

“I’m surprised that Lance can tolerate Yvette’s temper.”

Nicole was upset that her brother badmouthed her bestie. She snorted coldly and said, “Yvette has a good temper! She’s gentle and knows how to be considerate. Lance is lucky to marry her!”

Grant touched his nose, smiled, and did not say anything.

He clearly did not agree with Nicole. Clayton chimed in. “Nicole’s right.” Grant was speechless.

It was already late when Lance got home.

He thought that Yvette was just drunk and afraid to see him, which was why she did not go to Stanton Mansion.

After all, Lance did not allow her to go out drinking for a long time ever since that time she got drunk.

This time, she just wanted to have fun. The house was dark with no lights on. Even the maid was not around.

Lance turned on the lights and was not used to seeing the house so empty.

He loosened his tie and went to the kitchen, which was also clean without any trace of cooking.

Lance wrinkled his eyebrows with discomfort from having too much to drink.

He thought, ‘Yvette’s probably drunk. I don’t feel good either. Where’s the maid? Who’ll make the hangover tea?’

Lance immediately called the maid. “Where’s everyone?”

The maid hurriedly spoke. “Madam let me off work as soon as she got home. Do you need me to go over again, sir?”

Lance’s expression was glum. “Never mind.” After that, he hung up the phone.

Lance lifted his feet and walked upstairs. The house has never been so quiet before.

This quietness made him feel insecure for some reason.

He snickered and thought, ‘Why would I need security?’ Lance walked to the bedroom door.

There was no sound inside.

He twisted the doorknob, but it did not budge. His body stiffened slightly.

Lance wrinkled his eyebrows, and his face darkened as he thought, ‘She actually shut me out?’ This never happened before.

He knocked on the door, but there was no movement inside.

Lance thought that perhaps Yvette was too drunk and accidentally locked the door, so he simply gave up, turned around, and went to the guest bedroom.

Inside the room, Yvette sat on the bed and looked out the window, motionless.

She did not know when she started to be dependent on Lance.

When she heard his footsteps fading away, she felt like her heart had suddenly collapsed. This kind of dependence made her feel uncomfortable.

Chapter 1875

Yvette could barely remember what it felt like when she was with Sean Moore.

She only remembered that she was worrying, struggling, and hating herself every day back then.

Her days with Lance were so comfortable that she forgot everything, thinking that it could go on forever.

However, the arrival of that woman gave her a wake-up call.

Lance knew Yvette’s past like the back of his hand, while she only had a general understanding of his past.

It was unfair, too unfair.

Yvette did not want to know about Lance’s past with his ex-girlfriend. She did not want to know how they got along and was not interested in understanding the bits and pieces of their time together.

However, she could not control her mind from thinking about those torturous speculations.

Yvette thought, ‘Was Lance nicer to that woman? Was he more out of control in bed when he was with her? Did he pamper her more? I thought that I managed to tame Lance, and that I was his one and only. But maybe, that’s just how he is? If I can have such a rich dating history, why can’t he?’

She could not stop her mind from spiraling out of control once she had this doubt.

It was really too torturous.

Yvette tossed and turned around in bed and only fell asleep in the latter part of the night.

It was a light sleep that did not make her feel rested.

In her dream, she watched as Lance and another woman stood there and smiled at her.

When she approached them, she saw the woman’s face.

Lance smiled and said to Yvette, “My true love came back to me. Let’s get a divorce. I want to be with her forever!”

In an instant, Yvette jolted awake. Her heart trembled violently.

The sunlight poured in through the window, bringing some warmth to the bright morning.

Yvette soothed her chest and took a long time to calm down.

Heh...

After sobering up, Yvette stopped all those ruminations.

However, she inexplicably felt a sense of crisis.

Yvette and Lance were already married, and it was not just because of their own will.

The interests that both of them brought to their marriage would not allow either of them to act recklessly.

Yvette stretched her back and smiled. She thought, ‘It looks like I’ve spent too much time alone with Lance that I became so enamored with him.’

She went out in her pajamas and smelled the aroma of food.

Yvette walked over and saw that the table was already packed with her favorite breakfast dishes.

At that moment, she did not care if she would be late for work and sat down to prepare her meal.

The opposite seat was empty. Perhaps Lance had already gone to the office.

Yvette did not want to think about Lance. She just took a sip of soup.

The maid came over with a smile and served up some fruit.

“Madam, I’ve made some hangover tea. Would you like some?”

Yvette paused. “Sure.”

Anyway, her stomach felt a little uncomfortable.

The maid brought over a cup of hangover tea. Yvette smiled and said, "Thank you.”

“I heard that Mr. Sheldon had too much to drink last night, so I put aside another cup for him.”

Yvette was slightly stunned. Her tone was a bit cold as she said, “There’s no need for that. He won’t drink it.”

The maid froze.

A deep and muffled laugh sounded behind her, along with a lazy and drowsy voice, “Who said that I won’t drink it?”

The maid laughed, thinking that the couple were just joking. She still brought over the hangover tea and went about her work.

Yvette’s body stiffened slightly. Although she hated to admit it, Lance was really too attractive in his suit and with his lazy eyes early in the morning.

She laughed and said, “I thought that you went to the office, so I told the maid not to leave you any.”

Lance smiled and sized her up.

He did not expose her thoughts and only sat down opposite her.

The two of them ate quietly, but Lance looked up at Yvette from time to time.

It was rare that Yvette did not make a fuss while eating today. She did not even say a word.

Chapter 1876

Lance thought, ‘Is Yvette still mad at me because I didn’t pick her up last night?’

He laughed and wiped his mouth. “Why are you so quiet today?”

Yvette lifted her eyes and took a bite of the sandwich.

“There’s nothing to talk about.”

Lance raised his eyebrows. He looked at her patiently and spoke.

“I was really busy last night. The Stantons helped me a lot back then, and we’re cooperating on a major project soon, so I can’t leave hastily. It’s not like I was fooling around somewhere else. Nicole is your best friend, so you should know...”

Yvette nodded and smiled. “I know.”

Lance had a feeling that something was wrong. He squinted his eyes and really could not think of what it might be.

Yvette said, “I also had too much to drink last night and shouldn’t have been so unreasonable to delay your schedule. Luckily, you didn’t come. Otherwise, if you lost such a big project because of me, I wouldn’t be able to afford it even if I sold myself.”

Lance’s face darkened slightly, and his smiling eyes disappeared. He wrinkled his brow.

“What exactly are you uncomfortable about?” He could hear the sarcasm in Yvette’s words.

It had nothing to do with the Stanton family or Nicole.

“Or you didn't think that I’d catch you red-handed when you lied to me to go for a drink?”

Lance was wondering if Yvette was trying to put all the blame on him when it was her fault in the first place.

Yvette paused slightly. If Lance did not mention it, she would have forgotten about it.

However, what she did was nothing in comparison to him hiding his ex-girlfriend from her.

How could he still have the audacity to hold her accountable for drinking?

If she had not gone out drinking, would she have known that he had already arranged for that woman to work for him in his company?

Yvette sighed and inexplicably felt disappointed. However, she did not want to dwell on this matter.

She smiled perfunctorily and said, “Fine, it’s my fault, okay?”

Yvette’s tone was coquettish as usual. When Lance heard this, he relaxed.

He laughed and stroked her toes with his foot under the table.

His tone was gentle and doting as he said, “If you know

it’s your fault, why’d you shut me out last night?” Yvette pursed her lips. “I drank too much...”

Lance smiled meaningfully and warned her. “If you dare to do this again, just see how I’ll clean you up!”

Yvette’s unhappy mood inexplicably lifted. This man was too good at flirting.

The two people exchanged a seductive look that was a s natural as before.

The maids were already used to this.

Since Yvette was deliberately trying to seduce Lance, he naturally could not hold it in.

However, she stopped before things got too far. When the maid came out to clear the table, Yvette stopped moving her foot.

A moment later, Lance’s phone rang.

Lance frowned, picked up the call, and said a few words seriously. He looked at the woman across the table that looked so soft and lazy. She was wearing a spaghetti-strap silk nightgown that made it seem like she was n*ked.

His eyes darkened as countless images of him undressing her flashed through his mind.

Afterward, Lance hung up the phone. Yvette wiped her hands and got up.

“Are they rushing you to the office? You should go then. I’ll go a little later.”

The man frowned slightly. “A little later?”

He looked at his watch. “We’re already late.”

Yvette raised her eyebrows and laughed. “Can’t I have the privilege to be a little late as the vice president?”

Her smile was charming and seductive.

The man’s heart was moved, and he was helpless.

He could not do anything about it when she was like this.

Yvette would not be late when there was something important, so he would just let her be.

What’s more, she was not late for work every day.

Lance was ready to go out since he was already fully dressed. He just needed to change his shoes.

However, if he waited for Yvette, it would take some time.

Yvette knew that Lance would not waste his time waiting for her, so she asked him to leave first.

Chapter 1877

Yvette could not go back to sleep, so she went to get dressed and did her makeup.

Originally, she did not think that getting dressed was important, but since she had a love rival in the office, she did not want to be at a disadvantage in any aspect.

Yvette did not care whether Lance had left or not. She just went to the dressing room to change her clothes.

Usually, Yvette would wear a professional suit to work. Although they were all big-name brands and were suitable office attire, they lacked her own sense of style.

Yvette picked out a beautiful gold spaghetti strap dress from her closet full of clothes. It made her look sexy and flirtatious, gracefully outlining her beautiful figure. She was very satisfied with it.

She smiled and went to the bathroom to fix her makeup.

Yvette stood in front of the mirror and admired her beauty.

She picked up the lipstick on the side, but before she could smear it on her lips, the bathroom door suddenly opened.

Lance walked in and embraced her from behind. He had one hand around her slender waist, which pulled her tightly against his body, and his other hand was wandering to other parts of her body, teasing her.

Yvette was startled at first.

She was still a little shocked when she saw that it was Lance. However, she did not have the willpower to resist him. She just looked at her reflection in the mirror and carefully put on her lipstick, unmoved by his movements.

“Why haven’t you left yet?” She asked casually.

“I was waiting for you.”

The man’s voice became distinctly deeper, and through the mirror, his eyes turned dark with lust.

Of course, Yvette knew what he wanted to do, but she also knew that Lance was very disciplined.

He would not waste time with her at home while he had urgent things to deal with at the office since it would hinder him from making big bucks.

Therefore, Lance would at most just caress her to get over his urge.

Yvette always liked to see him get horny because of her. That feeling gave her the excitement of being in control of the whole situation.

It meant that this man was subservient to her.

Thus, her eyes remained calm as she looked at his lustful, dark gaze.

Yvette returned to her senses. She wrapped her arms around him, lifted one leg, and slowly wrapped it around his waist.

“You were waiting for me? But I won’t be ready for a while.”

The man’s throat bobbed. His face was taut. He looked like he was going through a lot to suppress his urge.

His intense gaze sized up the dress that Yvette was wearing, unabashedly expressing his inner thoughts.

“Why are you dressed like this? Where are you going later?”

His tone was a bit harsh as his hand wandered all over her body to take advantage of her as much as he could.

Yvette laughed and tilted her head with a smile. “I’m going to the office, of course! Where else can I go?”

Somehow, their bodies were intertwined as they kissed each other passionately.

The man’s lips landed on her slender neck and made their way downward.

He lingered over her and did not want to let go.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of hand, Yvette suddenly pushed Lance away and regained her composure.

She tidied up her clothes, turned around, picked up the lipstick that she had not finished applying, and spoke.

“You’re really going to be late for work, Mr. Sheldon. Go out and wait for me for a while. I’ll be ready in a minute.”

Lance narrowed his eyes. His face was a bit sullen and cold, not just because he was interrupted halfway through his indulgence, but because she wanted to go to work dressed like this.

‘You’re going to the office dressed like this?” His voice was still a bit hoarse with displeasure.

Yvette often dressed like this in nightclubs and bars, and those men’s lewd eyes lingered on her body.

That was why Lance explicitly stopped her from going to bars and wanted her to drink less. This woman was like a poison that could lure people into giving up everything just to get her.

Yvette did not dress up like this for a long time.

He would not allow her to wear this, even if it was to the office.

Yvette blinked and looked back at him from the mirror.

“Can’t I? I’m the vice president, so I have the right to wear whatever I want!”

Chapter 1878

The man took a deep breath and was probably exasperated by her attitude.

He looked so stubborn.

Yvette carefully applied her lipstick, but she was not very satisfied with a small part of what she just applied. Thus, she hesitantly thought about whether she should wipe it off and reapply it.

The man behind her went forward again. He suppressed his breathing, and his voice was low and harsh as he said, “No, even if you’re the vice president. I think you’re just asking for it.”

Yvette wrinkled her eyebrows. Just as she was about to speak, the man began to unbuckle his belt.

Her face turned pale, and she had a bad feeling in her heart.

“Lance, it’s time for you to go to the office!”

However, before she could escape, Lance already confined her in his embrace. He held her arms and lowered his head to kiss her.

Yvette could not dodge. Lance grabbed her by one hand, while his other hand started to roam around her body.

He continued where he left off. However, it was different from before. He did not just want a taste of her.

Lance wanted to go all the way.

Yvette was happy to see him lose control over herself, but she was no longer in control.

He suddenly turned her around, and his body was pressed behind her. H is actions were uncontrollably rough.

Yvette completely lost the initiative when Lance penetrated her.

The beautiful dress was also ruined and gloriously abandoned before it could see the light of day. Lance ripped the dress into shreds, which hung sadly over Yvette’s body.

Yvette was heartbroken.

However, her brain could not function at this moment as her body moved up and down with Lance’s movements.

Yvette thought, ‘Did this bastard save all his strength from yesterday for this moment?’

She unconsciously indulged in this pleasure.

Lance’s dark eyes stared at her. He did not spare any energy, but his face was still cold and reserved as if he was not the one in the act.

The phone outside rang repeatedly, but Lance did not even care.

When Yvette heard his deep panting next to her ear, she felt half of her body going numb.

She was tired, but it was very enjoyable.

Before the two were immersed in their act, Yvette did not forget to complain to him.

“Mrs. Sally is still here. She’ll come over if she hears us!”

The man laughed. His voice was like a vortex that could suck her in.

“She won’t...”

By the end of it, Yvette could not feel a thing.

Lance carried her upstairs to the bedroom. She lay on the bed like a puddle of water, unable to even lift her fingers.

What about Lance?

Lance had been wearing his clothes throughout, and h e looked very clean. Not even a strand of his hair was messed up. He simply cleaned up and came out again. When he saw such an indomitable Yvette, he laughed, went over, and kissed her forehead.

“You can’t get up?” His laugh was playful.

Lance loved to see her get defeated.

Yvette grunted and looked away, not wanting to pay attention to him.

Lance covered her with the quilt and warned her in a deep voice.

"You don’t have to go to work today. Take a good rest a t home. But don’t go out, especially not dressed like

that just now.”

His tone was admonishing as he gritted his teeth.

If she went out dressed like that, he would really go crazy.

Yvette was frustrated. Her eyes were watery, glistening, and seductive.

She was not aware of it and thought that glaring at him could express her anger.

Lance’s heart was moved. He lowered his head to kiss her, but she immediately turned away and did not let him have his way.

Lance was not mad. Instead, he was extraordinarily forgiving probably because his body was already satisfied.

He reached out and pinched her nose, and his voice was tinged with a bit of guilt.

“I’m going to be late, so I can’t help you to take a bath. You should rest for a while before getting up to wash up.”

This was the first time Lance lost control and became so ungentlemanly, so he felt even more guilty about it.

Yvette was upset as she looked at him with watery eyes.

"You did this on purpose, right?”

Chapter 1879

Lance laughed and did not answer Yvette’s question. He withdrew his longing gaze, turned around, and left.

Yvette looked at his back and closed her eyes.

She could not bear to recall that thrilling and steamy scene earlier.

Her face was slightly flushed. The warmth all over her body gradually receded before she calmed down.

Yvette thought, ‘What about his ex-girlfriend? She’s nothing to me!’

She was exhausted, so she rested for a while. It was almost noon before she had the strength to get up.

When she saw the marks all over her body, she secretly cursed the man before going to the bathroom to clean up after herself.

Yvette walked out of the bathroom feeling clean and refreshed. The gold dress she wore earlier was thrown i n the trash because it was already shredded and no longer wearable.

She suspected that Lance had deliberately torn her dress, but there was no evidence.

Hmph!

Yvette was tempted to pick out another sexy dress, but it would not be able to cover the marks on her body.

Thus, she had no choice but to pick out a suit that she usually wore. She looked neat, sharp, bright, and lively.

Even like this, she was a hundredfold prettier than Lance’s ex-girlfriend.

Yvette did not know why Lance’s tastes were so horrible before. That woman’s figure and looks were mediocre with nothing special about her.

After consoling herself, Yvette turned around and walked out the door.

When she saw the box that was casually thrown to the side, Yvette paused. She recalled that when Lance went in raw and came a lot during their first round.

He only wore a condom for the second round after she protested.

‘It can’t be that coincidental, right?’ Yvette thought.

She was not thinking about getting pregnant at this moment, especially not after his ex-girlfriend showed up.

Yvette calculated the days of her menstruation cycle. Since she was not ovulating at this time, she should be safe.

She breathed a sigh of relief and went downstairs slowly.

The maid prepared lunch for Yvette and smiled as usual.

“Madam, come and have a bite. Before Mr. Sheldon left, he said that you need to get some rest.”

Yvette could not help but blush. Her gaze flickered, but she still smiled calmly. “No, thanks. I’ll just go to the office.”

She drove there by herself, and when she passed by a cafe, she went in and bought two cups of coffee.

‘Consider it a reward for his hard work earlier. After all, I enjoyed it!’ Yvette thought.

She did not notice that there was a smile plastered on her face the entire time.

Nicole called to ask Yvette out, but Yvette decisively refused, which made Nicole speechless.

Once Yvette arrived at the office, the receptionist waved at her happily.

“Ms. Quimbey, you’re here!”

Yvette smiled. “Yeah. I love your lip color today!”

The receptionist shyly covered her mouth. “Thanks!”

However, the surprise on her face could not be described.

The receptionist thought, ‘Even my boyfriend didn’t notice that I changed my lipstick’s color. Ms. Quimbey really has a good eye!’

Yvette went straight to the elevator. She was very friendly and used the common staff elevator.

Midway, the elevator stopped.

‘Heh... What a coincidence! The person I least wanted to see is now right in front of me.’ Yvette thought.

The woman also did not expect to see Yvette. She followed behind the department head and meekly looked down, pretending that she did not recognize Yvette.

The department head smiled and greeted Yvette very cordially.

“Ms. Quimbey, I heard Mr. Sheldon say that you’re not feeling well. Why are you here?”

Yvette laughed and shook the two cups of coffee she was holding.

“Even if I’m not here for work, I can come to check up on him!”

The department head laughed like he heard something funny.

“You still can’t trust him? He can’t stand any woman around him besides you. Not even a single female mosquito can hover around him!”

The department head had a good relationship with Yvette, so their conversation was not so restrained.

Chapter 1880

Yvette glanced at the woman behind the department head, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to introduce her.

“I forgot to introduce her. She’s our new employee, Whitney Locke, who just came back from abroad. She’s a rare talent that used to work for LG. Whitney, this is our company’s vice president who is also Mr. Sheldon’s wife.”

It turned out that Lance’s ex-girlfriend’s name was Whitney Locke.

Whitney smiled politely and nodded without saying a word.

It felt like Whitney could not let go of her arrogance, as if bowing her head was a humiliation.

Yvette just thought that it was funny. She retracted her gaze and said in a dull voice, “Foreign companies have much better benefits than our company. Ms. Locke, why are you interested in our company?”

Whitney Locke did not want to talk to Yvette, but she was afraid that the department head would notice something odd about her.

“There are more opportunities in Mediania, and it’s also less competitive.”

The department head always felt that Whitney Locke’s resume was excellent. Thus, he agreed to all her conditions when she was first recruited to retain this talent.

Yvette laughed. “Is that so? As far as I know, those returning from the big foreign companies abroad aren’t necessarily talented. It might be because they were dismissed. Director Collins, you ought to keep your eyes open!”

Just in time, the elevator arrived after Yvette finished speaking.

Yvette sashayed out of the elevator with a sense of superiority.

The two remaining people were a little embarrassed.

Seeing Whitney’s gloomy face, the department head hurriedly comforted her.

“Don’t worry. Ms. Ouimbey just has a sharp tongue. She’s a bit blunt, but she means no harm. I recruited you because I acknowledge your efforts. Once you prove yourself, she’ll definitely change her mind about you!”

Director Collins wiped his sweat and wondered why Yvette suddenly said those strange words.

He was so confused.

Whitney smiled. She stared at Yvette’s arrogant back and could not help but turn a little grim.

Yvette felt extremely satisfied. She did not inform Lance of her arrival. When she saw Lance’s closed office door, she just pushed the door open.

However, there was no one inside.

The assistant, who followed in behind Yvette, rubbed his temples.

“Ms. Quimbey, Mr. Sheldon is still in a meeting.” Yvette said, “Oh...”

She sighed and said, “Okay, I'll go back to my office and wait for him. Tell me when he’s done with the meeting, but don’t tell him that I’m here.”

The assistant nodded understandingly. “Understood! You want to surprise him, right?”

However, the assistant did not understand why the bosses still needed to surprise each other when they saw each other every day.

No one could guess Yvette’s mind.

Yvette turned around proudly and left with the two cups of coffee.

She walked to her office. Before she closed the door, she saw Director Collins taking Whitney Locke to the conference room.

Her face sank slightly.

Yvette closed the door and took a deep breath.

She tried to keep herself calm and cool as a cucumber.

She thought, ‘I can’t allow myself to be affected by such people.’

A moment later she said to herself, ‘If he fired that woman right away, I could pretend that this never

happened. If not... I’ll let them know that I’m not to be trilled with!’

Yvette just sat in her office and waited.

A minute passed, and her heart that was calm started to feel anxious.

She looked at the time. Forty minutes passed.

Yvette thought, ‘Heh... Would it be too abrupt if I brought the coffee into the conference room?’

She thought about it and did that.

Thus, Yvette walked out of her office with the two cups of coffee and went straight in the direction of the conference room.

However, when she pushed the door open, the conference room was empty. No one was there.

The assistant nearby saw this and hurriedly ran over.

“Ms. Quimbey, the meeting just ended. I haven’t had time to go over and tell you.”

Since the water stains on the table still had not been cleaned, Yvette knew that the assistant was not lying.

Yvette smiled. “Where’s Mr. Sheldon?”
