The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 2073

Charlie and the doctor stood in awkward silence. Wasn't this a bit brazen? How could Seth admit that?

Even Cicely was taken aback before she scoffed coldly. "Did you leave your brain overseas or something? Danielle isn't a woman?"

Seth just grunted in response.

Charlie and the doctor exchanged perplexed glances.

Cicely frowned, giving Seth a look like he was some sort of alien creature. Nutjob.

She decided she'd had enough and turned to leave, but Seth caught her arm. "You're hurt, I'll carry you."d2

"Are you out of your mind?"

He didn't reply, just stared at her for a couple of seconds and then, bending down, lifted her in his arms.

"Seth!"

"Stay still, my arm hurts."

His voice was a low, husky whisper, and the word 'pity' flowed from him with an ease that seemed out of place.

Cicely paused, "It's none of my business even if you're crippled."

His eyes darkened, and he gave her a haunting look. "You'd fall."

Almost instinctively, she tightened her grip on his shoulder.

A subtle smile apppeared on Seth’s lips as he glanced at Charlie, who hurried forward to open the door.

Cicely snapped back to reality, "Put me down. Charlie can carry me."

Charlie almost collapsed right there. Gosh. What was she thinking.

"No way," Seth immediately shot down the idea.

"Seth!"

"If you say another word, I'll fire Charlie."

Charlie clasped his hands together, pleading with his eyes, almost ready to kneel.

Cicely was speechless. Who taught Seth to be so shameless?

Meanwhile, in the distant land, within the top floor conference room of Obsidian Group's skyscraper, several CEOs sneezed one after another. Damon, sitting at the head of the table, glanced at them before picking up his phone.

His face was expressionless, so aloof it seemed he must be dealing with a project worth astronomical figures, but only Nate knew how many people had been deceived by that facade.

Nate watched as Damon opened the messaging app and typed: [I think I've caught a cold], even adding a 'pitiful' emoji.

Nate could only shake his head.

Chloe, on receiving the message, couldn't help but chuckle and replied with a 'hug and kiss' emoji, followed by, [I've prepared some medicine for you. Have a couple of bags when you get back as a precaution.]
