Madilyn was hit by another wave of dizziness, and she felt as if the world was spinning. It was then she realized she was actually drunk. Her mind started to feel hazy as if it were drifting into nothingness.
After some time, her sleepiness took over and she eventually drifted off to sleep. Jonathan’s eyes were shining with affection, and a faint smile spread across his lips as he watched her fall into slumber.
Although he had no idea if he was in a healthy state now, or if there would be any unexpected situations happening in the future, the one thing he was sure of was that he didn’t want to see Madilyn sad.
I’m not mentally prepared yet. If I were to get together with her so easily, it would make it seem like I’m not really serious about her. I guess the time is not ripe yet, huh? With that thought in mind, he returned to his desk and finished handling the remaining tasks.
About an hour later, he stretched his body and closed his laptop. Turning to look at the woman who was still sleeping peacefully on the bed, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of contentment in his heart.
After taking out a set of clothes from his. luggage, Jonathan went into the bathroom and prepared to take a bath.
Meanwhile, Madilyn, who was still deep in slumber, woke up in her dreams feeling parched. She immediately started looking for water and ran through the forest until she reached at waterfall.
As the thirst overtook her, she quickly lowered herself to drink from the clear lake below the waterfall, gulping down the water eagerly.
However, the more she drank, the thirstier she became, and she felt extremely hot all over. Unsure of what was happening, she glanced around and saw that she was surrounded by lush green grass and colorful flowers. Apart from that, the air was filled with a sweet fragrance.
Soon after, she noticed that her soul was soaring. Fluffy white clouds were falling from the sky, enveloping her in a gentle embrace.
Feeling as though she was at the top of the clouds, the gentle breeze brushing past her ear made every inch and every pore of her skin tingle.
At the break of dawn, the smart curtains drew themselves open automatically, allowing the rays of the morning sun to illuminate the room.
The glorious light allowed Jonathan to stare intently at the figure sleeping soundly beside him. Her dainty nose, luscious lips, and tremoring eyelashes made for a captivating sight. He had never expected the sudden turn of events from the night before.
He was still showering when the bathroom door was opened abruptly. It was impossible to tell at that moment whether Madilyn was drunk or conscious.
Yet, Jonathan had no escape. The lust he was harboring was ignited by her sudden presence. Amidst the sound of flowing water, their bodies. were entwined together for an indeterminate. amount of time.
Now that he was fully awake, the scenes from a few hours ago were seared into Jonathan’s mind, causing a sudden urge to fill him again. By then, Madilyn was already awake. She was wondering if the events from the previous night were a dream or reality.
Nevertheless, the sleeping robe she was wearing clearly indicated that it was the latter. As she was in her own pajamas when she left her mother’s room, she figured that it must have been drenched and left on the bathroom floor.
In others words, he had slept with her while she was drunk the night before. The thought suddenly triggered a cheeky smile across her face, but it was quickly replaced by overwhelming embarrassment.
Right beside her ear, she could hear the gentle sound of Jonathan’s breath, while her body could clearly feel the warmth he emitted. Despite the overwhelming lust within her, she knew that she had to suppress it desperately. I cannot embarrass myself again!
Fortunately for her, Jonathan leaned in to kiss her with his burning lips, unwittingly giving her the perfect excuse. Closing her eyes, she let herself go by reciprocating his advances. Initially, Jonathan was planning to save himself until the time was right, but Madilyn had clearly foiled his plan.
After having his first taste, he realized he could no longer control himself. Taking her response as encouragement for him to continue, he swiftly wrapped his arms around her. A passionate session quickly followed….
By the time both of them were awake again, it was already close to twelve noon. “Maddy, Jonathan, are both of you awake?” Lorraine’s voice rang out from outside the door.
As if they knew what the other was thinking, both of them jumped out of bed and quickly put on their clothes. Thereafter, Madilyn ordered softly, “I’ll get the door while you pretend to be asleep!”
“No, it looks more natural if I go. Since you have a habit of getting up late, it’s better if you’re the one who’s sleeping,” Jonathan rebutted. Both of them exchanged glances before breaking into smiles.
Now that they were adults, it wasn’t necessary for them to hide their actions. As a result, both of them opened the room door together.
The awkward look on their faces and the fact that they had fooled around for a few hours more than usual brought a heartened smile to Lorraine’s face.
Nonetheless, she kept her thoughts to herself and flatly suggested, “I found a local restaurant that’s good. Let’s head there together.”
“Sure, Mdm. Xander!” Jonathan agreed with a nod. When Madilyn turned around to look, her eyes widened in shock. She quickly moved her body to block the view of his neck which was covered with hickeys. Oh my God! I must have gone wild last night!
Jonathan didn’t realize the fact until he saw himself in the mirror while washing up. Upon noticing the residual marks she left behind, he gave her the side-eye, sending her into a panic that he found adorable.
ithin half a month, Colby had proved that he was more capable than Linda. He gained the latter’s recognition and she became his assistant..
After all, he was the only person who could strike a perfect balance between the commercial needs of a business and the technical complexities of their research. That was James’ evaluation of him as Flora Verba Group’s CEO.
As the company obtained its products from the research institute, Colby was the best person to serve as the bridge between the two companies. At the same time, he could supervise the production of many low-cost medicines, benefiting a bigger pool of patients.
As Flora Verba Group released new products into the market at a rapid pace, Colby would approach the medical insurance companies proactively.
His actions drew Peregrine’s admiration, causing the latter to feel that he was a good candidate to succeed Roxanne. On that day, an international flight landed at Horington Airport.
A slender-looking woman, dressed in a suit and high heels, strode confidently out of the terminal. Behind her was a group of more than twenty men, all dressed in sharp black suits. Some were Epean, while others were Aplothians. Their ages were spread across both ends of the spectrum.
The oldest ones looked to be in their forties or fifties while the youngest ones were in their early twenties. The entire group exuded a glamorous air and turned many heads at the airport.
Those in the know could immediately identify them as an international business negotiation delegation. The intimidating air they exuded was to cow their opponents into submission.
Orchid, twenty-nine years of age, was one of Harvey’s three official apprentices. As the first student who studied under Harvey, she was considered Roxanne’s senior. Currently, she was the executive manager of GK Group’s operations in Epea.
She had flown into Horington from Dartan to take over the company’s Aplothian operations. The company was extremely disappointed with Roxanne’s performance so far, especially after learning that she had established Flora Verba Group, whose share price had skyrocketed since then.
As a result, the company’s board of directors decided to remove her from all her positions. Meanwhile, Orchid kept her arrival from Roxanne so that she could catch the latter off guard and find all the evidence of wrongdoing required by the company.
Soon, the huge management team arrived at the research institute unannounced. Even though Colby had never seen Orchid before, he could tell from the garden violet pin worn on their collars that they were from the company’s Epean headquarters.
With a group of burly men leading the way, Orchid barged into the building with her entourage. The first thing they did was locked the doors to the research institute’s finance department. Thereafter, they quickly sealed the general manager’s office and changed all the locks to the data rooms at the institute.
