“Not going,” Colin grumbled, his mood visibly sour. He had social anxiety and batted such events.

“You've just taken the helm of the Langley Group. It’s important to show face at these kinds u gatherings,” Eric coaxed with a hint of resignation.

“Annoying.” Colin muttered, his irritation tinged with a petulant edge.

“You're provoking me.” Colin said with a feigned wistfulness.

Was he implying | had seduced him first? “I was just wiping off the water for you.” | muttered softly.

“I don’t care.” Colin pouted, cradling my cheeks, leaning in to kiss me. “You're mine.” I had no choice but to submit, letting him kiss me.

“Colin.” | whispered his name, my breath hot.

Why could | forget everything but what related to you? “Henry's stirred up ssenior executives to strike. Tomorrow morning, you have to go to the office.” Eric, reluctant to interrupt, spoke up after taking a call.
