Wooing My Ex-Wife by Mr. Adeel

Unfortunately, what was done was done, and Evelyn knew there was no turning back for her.

A few seconds later, she lost all consciousness.

Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office of Harris Group, Gwendolyn had just taken over her family’s public listed company,

so there was a lot she needed to familiarize herself with.

As a result, she had to spend a fair bit of time on work-related matters.

Thankfully, Cedrick stayed at her side the entire time and did everything from annotating documents to showering

her with concern. He was, without a doubt, even more meticulous than a personal assistant.

At that moment, he was seated on the couch and holding a red pen as he quietly analyzed the thick stack of

documents before him.

Legally speaking, the content of the files contained Harris Group’s confidential information and wasn’t allowed to be

seen by Cedrick under any circumstances.

After all, Harris Group and Jenson Group were still competitors despite having had business collaborations.

Gwendolyn, however, had complete trust in Cedrick. Not only was she not worried about him stealing her company

data, but she had also considered merging both businesses to bring their families to even greater heights.

As Gwendolyn sat on her chair, she couldn’t help but steal glances at the man.

She had to admit he was exceptionally handsome when he was all serious and focused.

It also helped that the sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows cast a faint halo above his head,

making him look even more like a noble, divine being.

Seconds later, Gwendolyn’s eyes glinted with mischief as a naughty idea came to mind.

Since Cedrick was still in deep concentration, she got up from her seat and crept stealthily behind him.

Then, without any warning, she pushed him down onto the couch and straddled his waist, her hands slithering up to

play with his expensive tie.

“Gwenny?” Cedrick muttered, looking like a lost, confused puppy.

Gwendolyn wrapped his tie around her hand sensuously and leaned in till their noses touched.

“Ceddy, you’re even more capable than my assistant. Why don’t you come to Harris Group and be my secretary?

I’ll pay you handsomely.”

For a moment, Cedrick was speechless.

Oh… My services don’t come cheap, but if Gwenny’s hiring me, I’d be more than happy to oblige.

The next second, he curled his lips into a smile. “It’d be my honor to be your secretary, Gwenny. Besides, you won’t

even need to pay me. I’m a hard worker, and I’ll be at your beck and call from morning till night. Most importantly,

my services will go beyond office duties.”

Gwendolyn raised a brow and chuckled. “Wow. What a good deal. I’ve struck gold, haven’t I?”

“Of course,” Cedrick replied with a grin. “I’d never let anyone take advantage of you.”

Pleased with the man’s sweet words and performance, Gwendolyn melted into his embrace and kissed him

passionately.

Within seconds, temperatures rose, and the air was filled with intense sexual tension.

Just then, Gwendolyn’s new assistant, Parker Downey, knocked on the door and opened it, only to see what was

happening on the couch. ”Ms. Harris, Mr. Black is here to look for you… Oh, sh*t! I’m sorry!”

Flushed with embarrassment, the frantic woman quickly closed the door.

Robert Black, who was kept waiting outside the office, fixed Parker with a stare. “Why aren’t we going in? What’s

Ms. Harris doing?”

“M-Ms. Harris is handling some personal affairs. Please wait a moment, Mr. Black.”

“Personal affairs?” Robert fumed.

Oh, come on! I saw what was happening in that room when she opened the door… This is outrageous! Does

Gwendolyn have any leadership skills? We’re in the office, not a lovers’ lane! Why did she even bring Cedrick along

to work in the first place? He may be her fiancé, but he’s also our competitor! How could she let her guard down so

easily? Given how unprofessional and incompetent she is, who knows what’d happen to Harris Group in the future?

With that thought in mind, Robert stormed off in a huff.

Upon seeing the man leave, Parker promptly returned to her seat, not wanting to disturb the intimate session

further.

Her accidental appearance, however, had barely affected the couple.

Gwendolyn continued to straddle Cedrick before slipping her fingers under his shirt, teasing him with every touch.

Cedrick pursed his lips, his chest heaving as a wave of sensations washed over him.

Just as he was about to lose all control, he suddenly gripped the woman’s slender wrist.

“No, Gwenny. It isn’t safe here. The walls have ears!”

Gwendolyn grinned. “I’m the CEO of Harris Group, though. Who’d have the guts to eavesdrop or watch what I’m

doing with my fiancé behind closed doors?”

A frown instantly crossed Cedrick’s brow. Well, she has a point. However… The door isn’t locked!

“Come on. Stop playing,” Cedrick gently coaxed. “I’m here to help you analyze these documents. It’s an important

business matter.”

Undeterred, Gwendolyn pouted and played with the man’s loosened tie, her red lips pressed seductively against his

ear.

“This is also an important business matter, Ceddy. Don’t you want to do it?”

By then, Cedrick had blushed up to his ears. “I do, but this isn’t the place for that…”

“Just so you know, I’d be tired after a long day at work, so no matter how much you beg for it at night, I won’t give

in to you!” Gwendolyn scoffed as she rolled her eyes.

Naturally, that made Cedrick worried.

It might be unprofessional to flirt at work, but it’d be even more unbearable if he lost his bedroom privileges at

home!

After a long internal struggle, he finally relented.

“All right. Let’s do it now,” Cedrick muttered before closing his eyes and offering himself like a lamb to the

slaughter.

To his surprise, Gwendolyn snorted and moved away from him.

“Sorry, but I’m no longer in the mood. Since you love working so much, you can carry on writing your analyses and

annotations,” she said snarkily while pointing at the stack of documents on the coffee table. “I want you to

complete those by the end of the work day. Otherwise, when we get home tonight, you’ll receive ten slaps on the

hand for each unfinished page.”

Cedrick stared at the document pile and paled.

My goodness. That stack is almost half my arm’s length! How am I supposed to finish everything before office hours

are over? Argh! Gwendolyn rarely takes the initiative to come on to me. Why couldn’t I have just gone along? So

what if we get caught in the act? It’s no big deal. Besides, I won’t be the one feeling embarrassed. Alas, I’ve

messed things up this time. Not only have I lost big, but I also have to endure punishment…

Feeling utterly remorseful, Cedrick tugged at her pitifully. “Gwenny, please don’t…”

“Back to your work!” Gwendolyn demanded haughtily as she pushed the man away and returned to her table to

continue working.

Needless to say, Cedrick was rendered speechless.

D*mn it… Can I turn back time and retract my words?

By the time he looked up at Gwendolyn, the latter had already submerged herself in work and was busy typing

away on her computer.

Since getting pregnant, she had been wearing anti-radiation maternity clothes and putting plants around the office

to reduce any radiation exposure to her babies.

Cedrick stared at the woman for a while, but sadly, she didn’t pay him any attention.

Slapping me on my hand used to be her way of rewarding me. Why has it suddenly turned into a form of

punishment? No. I can’t accept that!

The next second, Cedrick approached Gwendolyn gingerly and prodded her shoulder.

“Gwenny, can we talk?”

“We’re five minutes closer to knocking-off time,” the latter retorted without taking her eyes off her computer.

“Don’t forget about the punishment I mentioned!”
