Upon hearing her response, both of them were intoxicated by lust, their breaths growing noticeably more rapid as the rhythm of their movements gained pace.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Thud, thud, thud… The persistent knocking echoed again and again. The person outside the door relentless, as if they weren’t going to stop.

Sebastian and Madelyn ddenly came to their senses. After giving each other a look, they separated from each other abruptly as if they could read each other’s minds. Then, they cach began to calm themselves

down.

Sebastian quickly recovered, but Madelyn had several buttons on her blouse loosened by him, and her face was flushed with a deep red.

Seeing her like this, Sebastian softly said, “Straighten your clothes, then focus on your book.”

After he finished speaking, he took a moment to regulate his breathing. He adjusted his tie, took a deep breath, and finally regained his composure.

Meanwhile, Madelyn’s face was etched with dissatisfaction. She was grumbling to herself, wondering which idiot was it who didn’t know better.

She and Sebastian had finally gotten a rare opportunity to deepen their bond, but it was abruptly interrupted. What a pity.

After the two of them had freshened up. Sebastian returned to his desk. Madelyn, on the other hand, lowered her head and buried herself in her books.

Only then did Sebastian casually respond to the person outside the door. “Come in.”

Malcolm promptly pushed open the office door. Then, he walked in respectfully, holding a document. He nodded at Sebastian and greeted, “Mr. Lockhart.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Malcolm felt a piercing glare directed at him. A shudder ran through his body, as if the gaze was a razor–sharp blade ready to flay him alive.

When he took a closer look, the person glaring at him was none other than Madelyn, who was found sprawled over the desk in the CEO’s office.

Malcolm was taken aback, wondering what he had done wrong this time to upset her. Why is she looking at me that way? It sent shivers down his spine.

Is she throwing a tantrum again? The mere thought of it made Malcolm’s hair stand on end and goosebumps. to cover his skin.

Luckily, Sebastian, with a face as cold as ice, turned to Malcolm at that same moment and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Only then did Malcolm breathe a sigh of relief. Holding the documents in his hand, he walked up and handed them to Sebastian. “Mr. Lockhart, this proposal has just been issued by the project department. It requires your approval, followed by your signature.”

Without betraying any emotion, Sebastian subtly nodded his head.

Tl be taking my leave then.” With that, Malcolm turned and left, thoughtfully closing the door behind

him.

As soon as Sebastian left, Madelyn once again had her que emotions on display. She cagerly turned her gaze toward Sebastian, hoping that they could continue what they had not been able to finish earlier.

However, Sebastian’s face remained impassive. It was so calm that no fluctuations could be detected. It was as if the earlier events had never happened at all.

He kept his gaze fixed on the documents in his hand, not once lifting his eyes to look at Madelyn. It was then that Madelyn understood that he clearly didn’t want to continue.

Since Sebastian wasn’t interested, Madelyn had no choice but to let it go. However, she couldn’t help but let out a dissatisfied huff, as if she purposely wanted high to hear it.

Nevertheless, Sebastian still showed no reaction, leaving Madelyn with no choice but to bury herself in her books, feeling somewhat disappointed.

At noon. Malcolm came over anxiously to inform them that there was an important meeting to be held.

Sebastian glanced at Madelyn, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. “I have a meeting to attend, so I can’t accompany you for lunch. Find something to eat on your own. Don’t let yourself go hungry.”

After speaking, he turned around and followed Malcolm into the conference room.

Madelyn was left perplexed. What’s with that attitude? However, she couldn’t really blame Sebastian. After all, in a company, work always took priority.

However, when an idea struck her, Madelyn’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Since you can’t accompany me for a meal, how about I buy food back and we eat together?”

What a brilliant idea! Madelyn silently praised herself, then proceeded to descend the stairs alone.

However, who could have predicted that upon entering a nearby restaurant, she would have the misfortune of running into Christopher.

He was clad in grey casual attire. Standing nearby, he was looking around as if he was waiting for something.

Madelyn couldn’t help but lament, Why am I so unlucky! How did I end up running into him here?

Then, she shielded her face with her hand, leaning on the counter to place her order. After that, she quietly slipped into a seat, patiently waiting for her meal to be prepared and packed.

As fas Christopher, she believed that as long as she didn’t provoke him, he wouldn’t notice her. She thought that if she could just avoid him, that would be enough.

However, it seemed as if Christopher knew she wa

there. He looked right at her, and not just that, he even

took the initiative to walk over.

Madelyn, it’s a surprise to see you here. What a coincidence. Have you eaten yet? How about I treat a meal?” Christopher said generously. He walked over to Madelyn and naturally took a seat across from her with a gentlemanly expression.
