Chapter 422
“Hello, Hugh.”
Jane waved at Hugh with a smile.
“Is that you, Janie?”
Hugh said in disbelief.
It was as if the Jane that had appeared in front of him was an illusion.
“It’s me, Hugh. I’m sorry. I know you’re busy, but I just wanted to see how you are at work, so I came over here. I’m not causing you any trouble, am I?”
“You don’t have to worry about me. If you have any meetings, just go for them. I’ll watch you from the side. I’ll wait for you.” When Hugh heard Jane’s voice, he was able to confirm that the woman he had been missing all day was not just an illusion. She was really standing there in front of him.
Hugh immediately said, “Life, I’m leaving you to take charge of all business matters. Don’t let anyone disturb me without permission!”
“Yes!”
How could Life not know just how special and precious Jane was to Hugh? He could tell from how Hugh treated Jane that she was extremely important to him. Hugh had never treated anyone else the same way he did with Jane.
Life had worked for Hugh for a long time, but this was the first time he had seen this expression on Hugh’s face. Hugh’s expression was a mixture of excitement, joy, surprise, and nervousness. This was a completely different side of Hugh that Life had never seen before. He was more used to seeing the side of Hugh that was always in control of everything and never flinched no matter what. That Hugh was cold-blooded, heartless, and decisive.
If Life told Hugh’s other subordinates who were based overseas that the latter had fallen in love with a woman, they might not believe him. If they did not witness this with their own eyes, it was unlikely they would believe that Hugh was capable of love. Life would have been branded a ***.
Life did not know if Jane’s existence in Hugh’s life was a good or bad thing. After all, Hugh was destined to rule the world. With Jane’s presence, Hugh now had a weakness in his life.
However, Life had seen how Hugh’s emotions had changed so drastically just because of a woman. At the very least, Life knew that Hugh had finally experienced true happiness.
Since Hugh was so important to Life, and Jane made him so happy, Life decided that he would also protect Jane with his life.
Hugh brought Jane to his office.
“Hugh, I told you. If you have something to do, go ahead. Don’t worry about me. I just wanted to see you work hard. As the saying goes, men who are obsessed with hard work are the most handsome.”
“In my heart, you’re more important than anything else. I can put aside all the work when I’m with you. Nothing compares to you.”
If someone ***with the old Hugh heard this, their eyes would definitely pop out of their sockets.
When Hugh first parachuted into power in D.Y. Group, he was an extreme workaholic.
It was as if there was nothing else in life that Hugh cared about or was moved by besides work.
Many people wondered when their handsome and domineering president might drop dead from overworking.
Back then, his colleagues wondered if he was even human. He always worked such long hours.
For a workaholic like that to say such words to Jane was simply like a comet hitting the earth. It felt as if the world was ending
Jane smiled. “I like the sound of that.”
Hugh pulled Jane to sit on the sofa and interlocked their fingers. Jane leaned her head on Hugh’s shoulder and closed her eyes. It was as if she had found the safest place in the world, a piece of heaven that belonged to only her. “You smell so good… Hugh, I woke up quite early this morning. I **********just now and now I’m feeling sleepy, so I wanted to lean on you to sleep.
Hugh gently stroked Jane’s hair and inhaled the fragrance of her hair. His voice was extremely gentle as he said, “Do you want to sleep in my arms?”
“I want to lean on you first before falling asleep in your arms. Anyway, you’re mine now. I can do whatever I want. Can you resist me?”
After saying that, Jane rubbed against Hugh like a kitten. Her soft touch made his heart flutter.
The fragrance of her hair was the most lethal poison in the world.
There was no cure once he had caught a whiff of it. He could only resign himself to the fate of falling head over heels in love with her and becoming her puppet.
“Alright… I’m already yours. You can do whatever you want. I won’t resist.”
“Why do you make it sound like I’m forcing myself on you? Do I look like such a desperate woman?”
There was an awkward expression on Jane’s face.
Was it Jane who was overthinking this?
Or was Hugh’s words filled with hidden meanings?
Hugh lowered his gaze and said in an extremely sultry tone, “I want you to force yourself on me. Take the initiative. You’re not the one who’s desperate, I am.”
His warm breath fanned across Jane’s face, at the same time causing ripples in her heart.
Jane had goosebumps all over her body.
Her heart was racing as a result of Hugh’s provocative actions.
She really wanted to reach out and touch Hugh’s forehead.
She wondered to herself, “Is this guy having a fever?”
“Mr. Croft! You’re the president of this company! Don’t forget your persona!”
“Why is he acting like an insatiable teenager?”
After a long time, Jane blurted out, “You’re so extreme!”
She felt amused.
“Janie… Can I take that as a compliment and accept it?”
Hugh leaned forward as he spoke. His deep eyes met Jane’s. They were so close to each other that their noses bumped. Their breath fanned across each other’s faces, and the air between them was so sexually charged.
Hugh had an extremely attractive face. His eyes were so deep and charming. His eyebrows were so thick. He had facial features that were created by God himself. Not to mention his sharp facial bones and luscious, red lips.
“Hugh! I can’t take it anymore!”
Jane could no longer hold it in.
She opened her eyes and grabbed Hugh’s hand.
Then, she pushed him onto the sofa.
She sat on his body and grabbed the end of his tie.
Finally, she opened her **********and bit his neck.
She didn’t use much strength.
It was like a little peck.
Her teeth touched the man’s skin.
Roses instantly bloomed, taking root and sprouting.
Hugh could not help but groan.
Jane’s actions sent tingles all over the expanse of his skin.
Once she had left her imprint on him, there was nowhere for him to run.
There was no room for escape.
Hugh thought to himself, “Right now, the only thing I want is to immerse myself in her beauty.
“I want to be like a powerful king who would crumble at the sight of his lover’s smile.”
Jane continued to enact her “punishment”.
When she was done, she sat up and licked her lips provocatively.
“That’s it?”
Hugh was still unsatisfied.
All she had done was take a few bites of him, like a kitten.
Why did she stop?
Hugh thought to himself, “Don’t feel sorry for me. Give me all you’ve got!”
Jane said. “I’m not a vampire.”
Hugh held Jane in his arms tenderly. The corners of his lips curled up slightly as he said, “Of course, you can only bite me and suck my blood, Janie.
“Yes, yes, yes it’s because our blood types are so rare that we’re bound together. If we drink someone else’s blood… Hmm, I’m afraid I’ll vomit”
They joked around for a while.
The atmosphere became much livelier.
It was no longer as ambiguous as before.
“Did you have a good day at the church?”
“What could possibly have happened at the church… By the way, Hugh, the place I went to is called Santio Church.”
Jane had only informed Hugh via WeChat that she was going to pray at a church.
She had not mentioned which church it was.
Jane silently observed Hugh’s expression when she revealed that.
It was jut as expected.
Hugh definitely heard the words “Santio Church”.
His expression changed subtly.
