Meeting The One For Me ( Nathan Franklin ) novel Chapter 223

Chapter 223 

When Ryan saw the files on the table, he already knew that George had been here. 

Ryan loosened his tie and sat on the armrest of the single couch as he watched Audrey approach him. 

After unbuttoning the top button of his shirt, he grabbed Audrey’s wrist and pulled her closer to him. He then unbuttoned her suit, which belonged to Matteo and threw it aside with disgust. 

“Do you know that pictures of you and Matteo have gone viral?” Ryan asked. 

Audrey looked puzzled and reached for her phone, but Ryan stopped her. “I’ve already had the trending topic taken down.” 

The image of Matteo cutting steak for Audrey and then escorting her to the car after they left the fancy restaurant irritated Ryan. 

Ryan’s voice was gentle as he asked, “He cut steak for you and even helped you put on your coat. Even if you’re friends, isn’t that crossing the line?” 

“These past few years, Matteo has been researching brain interfaces, hasn’t he? He asked me about it during an exchange meeting in Slovomia a few years ago. This time, he was so attentive during dinner because he wanted to invite me to join his team.” 

Audrey looked at Ryan and realized that he was jealous. Still, she hid her smile and didn’t 

call him out on it. 

“So, is that why you allowed him to cross the line or do you have some other intentions with him? If you’re considering a future with him, I wouldn’t recommend it. 

“You might as well go with Mr. Lambert Senior’s recommendation for Samuel.” Ryan’s dark eyes behind his glasses made it hard to discern his expression. 

Audrey was taken aback. “Do you want me to choose Samuel?” 

Ryan held the back of her head with one hand and wrapped the other around her waist. He then pulled her into his arms, and his tone was possessive as he said, “I want you to choose me.” 

Audrey’s handbag dropped as she placed her hands on Ryan’s chest. Her heart raced uncontrollably once again. Her gaze involuntarily fell on Ryan’s lips, which were dangerously close. 

Just as she was about to speak, she was tenderly kissed by Ryan’s scorching lips.

He kissed Audrey as he stood up. 

“Mmm… 

“Audrey moaned. 

Her steps faltered as Ryan’s kiss made her retreat. Soon, she was pushed back against the dining table behind her. 

Her long skirt was pushed up, and Ryan gripped her legs, pulling her toward him. Their bodies were pressed tightly together. 

Despite Ryan kissing her more gently than ever, Audrey couldn’t help but tremble. 

As Audrey wrapped her arms around Ryan’s neck and responded to the kiss, Ryan, who had always been calm, grabbed the back of her head and kissed her almost frantically. 

His kisses grew deeper and more forceful as he pressed her slender, soft waist against him. 

It wasn’t until Audrey was about to suffocate that Ryan finally released her lips. 

His breathing was heavy as he gently brushed his fingertips over her lipstick–stained lips. His voice was hoarse as he said, “There are only a few days left until Mr. Lambert Senior’s banquet. I’ll patiently await your answer.
