Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Hot Kiss
Cassienne still couldn’t understand what was going on in the mind of Corren. He just stood there, looking at her with those green eyes of his as if she was a work of art.
Her cheeks flushed pink. Her heart continued to beat in ways she couldn’t understand herself.
While she was trying to handle herself and the way her heart fluttered just by being this close. She
suddenly felt soft lips pressed on hers. Her eyes widened in shock.
His cologne invaded her nose and she breathed him in. His hands wrapped her waist as he demanded she open her mouth.
Cassienne was turned on. This feeling was foreign to her, but it felt good. But at the same time, she felt like she shouldn’t be doing something like this with her boss.
Her hands went up and were on his chest, pushing him away, gently.
He didn’t fight it. Corren let her be, and stepped away from her. He ran his hand over his face and through his dark brown hair.
“Fuck,” he muttered and chuckled.
“I am sorry,” he said, shaking his head, amused by what he just did.
Cassienne nodded. Her entire face had turned red now.
“You seemed to like kissing random people, Mr Thornwyck.” She finally spoke.
Cassienne frowned immediately. He narrowed his eyes. “No,” he replied. “I am sorry, I know this looks crazy, even reckless. But I don’t know why, it was the way I feel about you.”
“But I don’t feel that way about you, Mr Thornwyck. You don’t just kiss people for the fun of it. Kissing is intimate.” Cassienne lectured.
“I will appreciate it if you don’t do that again. You are my boss, and I respect you so much. But kissing you I think is rather too intimate and if it continues, I might leave this work for I don’t thin-”
“I am sorry. It will never happen again, Miss Rhodes,” Corren cut her off before she could finish her
sentence.
“We got the contract.” He began. “I was just too happy and the fact that you contributed to the success.” He passed.
Cassienne cut in immediately. “So you kissed me because I contributed to the company’s success?” She asked.
“If another woman had been the one, you would have kissed her too. Is that what you mean, Mr Thornwyck?”
“No. That’s not what I meant.”

Corren didn’t know how to break it to her. How was he supposed to tell her that he has feelings for her? Even if he did tell her, she wouldn’t have believed it.
“You know what. Just forget that this ever happened. But yes, I am happy. And if it were in normal circumstances, I will still kiss you, Cassienne. And that was the truth.”
Then he turned and walked out of her office.
Cassienne just opened her mouth widely. But no words came out. She couldn’t believe what just happened.
She actually felt something when he kissed her. But her mind screamed no. However, her body wanted
to feel more.
She shook the thought away. She might be divorced now, and she actually wasn’t interested in any relationship. But if she could just live her life just like Daisy, she would have loved it. But still, she felt like she was doing the wrong thing.
