Vengeance in His Bed novel Chapter 216

Chapter 216: Only Eyes for You

Later that evening, Jannah lay sprawled across the center of her bed, her slender legs crossed as she aimlessly scrolled through her phone. Her hair was still damp from her long shower, clinging in sweet-scented ringlets around her neck, and her pale skin glowed under the warm, dim lights of the room. She was so absorbed in avoiding her own chaotic thoughts that she didn’t hear the door click open, nor did she hear the quiet, deliberate footsteps crossing the floor.

Suddenly, a heavy shadow fell over her.

Dorrent leaned down, his chest hovering inches above her shoulder as his head snaked right past her cheek to peep directly at her glowing screen.

"I hope you’re not watching porn or anything in here, little physician," Dorrent murmured, his deep baritone rumbling so close to her ear that his hot breath fanned against her sensitive shell.

Jannah flinched, snapping her phone screen off and shoving his face away with the flat of her palm. "Fuck off, Dorrent!" she hissed, her eyes flashing with immediate heat. "Do you ever knock, or is invading my personal space just an automatic instinct of yours?"

Dorrent smoothly straightened his frame, resting one hand casually in the pocket of his trousers while his eyes held hers with an annoying, unbothered composure.

"I came to inform you about next week," Dorrent said smoothly, ignoring her outburst completely. "I will be taking a select group of interns on an educational research trip to GeeCee country. It’s a key initiative for Gammar Tech’s international expansion. I would like you to tag along with me."

Jannah rolled her eyes, scoffing deeply as she tossed her phone onto the mattress beside her. "I’m not interested," she delivered flatly, turning her back to him as she pulled the blanket over her knees. "Go play grand corporate director with your interns and leave me alone. I have no business going to GeeCee country with you."

Dorrent stood beside the bed, his sharp jawline tightening slightly, though his tone remained calm and measured. "Shalen will also be tagging along to manage the records and executive schedules."

Jannah’s posture went instantly rigid beneath the blanket. The image of the breathtakingly beautiful, golden-haired secretary in her dangerously low-cut red top and tight skirt flashed vividly behind her eyes. A sudden, sharp prickle of irritation flared in her chest, but she forced a cold, sarcastic sneer onto her face as she looked back over her shoulder at him.

"Well then! Since you’ll have such great, refined company," Jannah mocked, her voice dripping with venomous sarcasm, "why on earth do you want me tagging along? Won’t you just love having a stunning woman like that around to sway her hips for you in a miniskirt all day?"

A subtle, wicked glint sparked deep within Dorrent’s eyes. The subtle edge in her voice was unmistakable, no matter how hard she tried to disguise it under a layer of mockery.

"Stop being jealous, Jannah," Dorrent purred, taking a slow step closer to the edge of the mattress. "I only have eyes for you. Don’t you know that even if Shalen stood completely naked before me right now, I wouldn’t even get hard? There is absolutely nothing for you to worry about."
