When he rolled up his wrinkled shirt, he smelt the inviting aroma which made him annoyed. He got up, threw her hand off, strode to the window and pushed the door open.
The fresh air mixed with light fragrance of flowers blew away the man-made fragrance in the room. He took a deep breath, and the natural and charming fragrance and Hester's delicate but soft body appeared in his mind.
On the desk, Yam's hand fell in the air embarrassedly. She stared blankly at the tall man by the window and quickly took her hand back. Her charming face lowered slightly, and her long and narrow eyes were staring at him in a hazy way. She pursed her lips tightly. Her hands, which were at the two sides of the desk, could not help but clasp the edge of the desk tightly.
"Yam, you crossed the line." The cold and indifferent voice sounded slowly, calm and moody, but with an unquestionable killing spirit.
Startled, Yam realized that she had already infuriated him.
However, she was the second daughter of the Ning family. She humbly begged him to be his lover for so many years, but he hadn't even given her a promise yet. Wasn't he allowed her to fight for it?
She only wanted a child. Why didn't he give it to her? Why did he prefer to get a poor, crippled woman?
Although full of resentment, Yam didn't dare to yell or question him.
She bit her lips tightly and looked up. As she sensed his warning, her heart trembled. She quickly lowered her head and did not dare to look at him again.
Terence looked back with his sharp eyes and drew them back without a sound.
Sometimes, he hoped that Yam would be as strong and stubborn as Hester, instead of being scared or brainless to beg him.
A moment later, Terence pressed the cigar in his hand to the crystal ashtray, and said expressionlessly, "There are a lot of things to deal with in the company, so I arrange a driver to send you home."
He was ordering her to leave.
Yam's face became pale. She had stayed overnight in the villa, and had never been dismissed.
She was extremely reluctant, but she dared not disagree with him.
She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, her gesture so soft that made people feel pitiful, but there was no expression on Terence's face.
"Terence, I'll ask dad to help you when I get back. I'm sure he'll be on your side. Don't worry." Yam gnashed her teeth, full of concern, for she knew that she couldn't offend him now.
Then she got up and walked out of the study room.
As soon as the door of the study was closed, the smile on Yam's lips immediately disappeared. She vulture turned back and glared at the door. Her blood was rolling, and she could not calm down after a long time.
She was too proud to be bullied by a lowly woman. She must think of a flawless solution.
There was a bit of viciousness in her charming eyes. She lifted her foot and walked away ferociously.
After she left, Hester went upstairs to the study room and knocked at the door.
In the study room, Terence looked up with a cold expression. he stared at the closed door with his charming eyes. After a few seconds of silence, he replied: "Come in."
Hester was the only person who could knock at the door so rhythmically.
Hester cautiously held the tray, opened the door and walked in.
"I have had it outside. Take it away." Terence smelled an aroma of the dishes, then he said discontentedy.
Hester hesitated, gritted her teeth and walked to the sofa. She carried the dishes on the table and said softly, "Terence, these are all your favorite. I know you are busy with your work, but without meal, you wouldn't have energy to finish the work. Please eat them while they're hot."
