Charles' POV:
It took me a while before I finally managed to put James to sleep. I had planned to have sex with Scarlett all night long.
Unfortunately, she put her hand to my face to stop me from taking off her pajamas.
"Hold on. What did you mean when you said that you deliberately ignored me back when we were kids because you're too distracted whenever you see me?" Scarlett was glaring at me as though she would melt me with her gaze. "Whenever boys develop feelings for someone, they usually bottle it up," I replied.
"I think you were just being a stubborn little dweeb!" Scarlett pouted at me. I could see the complacency in her eyes though.
"Fine. I admit it. I had fallen in love with you ever since we were kids. Are you happy now?"
As I held Scarlett in my embrace, I felt a burning desire. 'Who in their right mind would be able to suppress their desire whenever their loved one is in their arms?'
Slowly, I slid my hands into Scarlett's pajamas and began to fondle her breasts. Then, I slid my hand down her underwear, gently stroking her clitoris. Soon, she began to pant. Upon seeing her blushing, delicate face, a dirty idea came to my mind.
"Honey, let's do something different today, okay?"
I seduced Scarlett just like the greedy serpent who tempted Eve to pick the forbidden fruit.
"What? Don't go too far..."
The sound of her pleasured moans aroused me and made my mouth feel dry. I lifted Scarlett up and kicked the bathroom door open.
Her every moan and plea for mercy was music to my ears.
About an hour later, I carried Scarlett back to the bed. She was still so tired that she could barely open her eyes. But even though she was exhausted, she still remembered that it was time to change James' diapers.
And since she couldn't do it, I had to do it myself.
By the time I returned to Scarlett's side, she had already fallen asleep. Gently, I crept into the quilt and held her in my arms as though I was embracing the whole world.

The following day, I went to work in high spirits.
The girl named Nancy Wood was supposed to start working for my company today. Grandpa had told me in advance that I should arrange a suitable position for her.
Amy took her to my office directly.
Nancy was a pretty girl, wearing a white dress and a classic Chanel pink coat. Her light makeup made her like vibrant.
"Do you remember me, Charles? It's me, Nancy! We used to ride horses together when we were children."
The girl was staring at me with hopeful eyes, eager to get closer to me.
"Sorry, I can't remember," I replied listlessly. "Besides, we're in my company. Here, I am your boss and you're one of my employees. From now on, you'll have to address me as Mr. Moore and I will not tolerate otherwise. Amy, take her away."
Soon, Amy returned. She told me that Nancy had been assigned to be the new assistant of the sales manager.
I nodded casually in response. To be honest, I couldn't care less what department Nancy was assigned to. There was something else that I was concerned of.
"Next time, don't bring just anyone to my office without my permission, Amy," I remarked sternly. "For this blunder, I'm going to deduct half of your year-end bonus. Make the same mistake, and I'm going to fire you on the spot. Do you hear me?"
"Yes, Mr. Moore. I promise not to make the same mistake again." Beads of sweat formed on Amy's temples as she stood uneasily.
"Good. Now get out."
My warning worked.
That afternoon, Amy came by my office again.
"Mr. Moore, Nancy spoke to me earlier this noon. She wanted to give me a gift, but I didn't take it."
I shot her a cold glance in response.
"Oh, I see, sir. I don't have to report this kind of thing to you in the future." Having said that, Amy ran away.
