Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1418

Martin's absolute refusal completely shattered Sabrina's hopes.

Bella had warned her earlier that those assets would be untouchable.

Sure enough, she was right.

If the Mercer family didn't still possess such deep foundations and a glimmer of hope, she would have packed her bags ages ago.

She had grown utterly sick of this useless man.

The soaring expectations she once held had soured into equally abysmal disappointment.

But for now, she had no choice but to swallow her bitterness, nodding submissively. "Martin, you don't need to say another word. I understand completely.

I'm sorry. I was being foolish just now. I can't believe I made such an outrageous request.

It's getting late. Let's head home.

I know you're still angry with me..."

"No, I'm not. Sabrina, you are the most important person in my life. How could I ever be mad at you?"

With those words, Martin pulled Sabrina into a tight embrace, and they passionately kissed.

Eventually, Martin's breathing grew ragged and heavy. To her shock, he lifted Sabrina and pinned her onto the office desk.

He whispered something husky into her ear, causing Sabrina's face to flush a bright crimson.

"Don't... we're in the office. What if someone sees us? It would be so embarrassing."

But Martin let out a low chuckle. His hands were already roaming down to her waist, his movements incredibly practiced as he unzipped the back of her dress.

He murmured reassuringly, "Don't worry, there's no one around. Even if there were, no one dares to walk in here without my permission.

Relax. Isn't this far more thrilling than doing it at home?"

After hearing his seductive promise, Sabrina's flushed protests faded, and she stopped resisting.

As long as he got off spectacularly, she stood to gain from it.

Having spent years in the nightlife industry rubbing shoulders with all sorts of women, Sabrina possessed an arsenal of seductive techniques. Whenever she needed to manipulate a man, her repertoire was more than sufficient.

Martin was overwhelmingly satisfied. That single session on the office desk trumped ten mundane nights back home.

In the aftermath, he held Sabrina close, kissing her earlobe as he murmured, "We're doing this again tomorrow night."

Sabrina playfully swatted at him as she cleaned herself up and smoothed her clothes. "Absolutely not. You're losing your mind to lust.

This is your corporate office. If we get caught, what will happen to your dignified reputation as the chairman?"

Martin smiled in sheer satisfaction. "What does a chairman's reputation matter? Compared to you, it's nothing."

Sabrina offered a bashful smile. Once Martin had tidied himself up, they headed downstairs, got into the car, and returned home.

By that hour, aside from Bella who had yet to sleep, the two Mercer brothers had long since gone to bed.
