MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Fortunately, she didn't meet security guards or neighbors on the way in. Otherwise, people would think she was sexually assaulted.

That was too humiliating!

But it was true. She was almost sexually assaulted by that man!

She bit her lip and squeezed her fist.

If Kaiden didn't wake up in time, she might really be taken advantage of by him!

Damn it. If she had to work in his company, she should try to avoid any contact with that man.

Her mobile phone rang, pulling her thoughts back. She picked up the phone and glanced at the screen. It was from England. It must be Kevin!

She adjusted her mood and answered it.

"Hi, Kevin?"

"Savannah, how are you these days?" Kevin's concerned voice was heard over the phone.

He was working late every evening for the client these days and seldom called her.

Savannah wanted to ask Kevin about Dylan Sterling but hesitated. It was about seven o 'clock in the evening in England. Kevin must have just finished his work, so he took his dinner time to call her.

He was busy enough at the moment. How could she bother him with the trifling affair?

If she told Kevin what that man said and did to her, Kevin must be worried about her and came back immediately. She didn't want him to delay his work for her again.

"I'm fine, Kevin. Don't worry," Savannah murmured, "I wasn't born yesterday. I'll stay home to prepare for the competition and wait for you."

She felt a little guilty when she said that. She did not stay at home every day but had found a job.

Well, she should just wait until Kevin got back.

"That's good. I'll be back as soon as I finish my work." Kevin was in a much better mood.

"Kevin, you should also take care of yourself and have more rest. Don't make yourself too busy to eat." Savannah could sense Kevin's weariness over the phone.

Kevin was warm with delight. The thought that she was waiting for his return drove all his tiredness away. As long as she cared for him, he was happy no matter how tired he was.

After a pause, Kevin said, "Savannah, when I returned, I have something to say to you."

Savannah's heart was pumping very fast in his words. He could tell her anything now. If he must talk in front of her, it must be very important.

In fact, she could guess what he wanted to say. She knew his feelings for her when they lived in Italy for the past three years.

However, since he never expressed his feelings to her, she just took him as a brother.

She once had special feelings for Kevin, but she didn't know when and why, she couldn't imagine being his girlfriend, as if she would betray someone if she accepted Kevin.

Shaking her head, she didn't want to think more. Well, that day would arrive sooner or later.

She collected herself and mumbled, "well... I'll wait till you get back."

Savannah prepared a letter of resignation when she went to work on Monday.

How could she stay in his company after what happened in the car?

As soon as she got to work, she sent her resignation letter to the director.

"What? You're quitting? Didn't you do a good job? Is there something wrong?" Jenkins, the new director, asked in surprise.

"Well, I'm sorry. I must leave for some personal reasons." Savannah was also reluctant to give up the job. After all, it was not easy for her to find a better design job.

"Why not think it over?"

"I've thought it over."

Seeing her firm determination, Jenkins sighed and let her leave. The door was closed, and his eyes fell on the resignation letter. He hesitated for a while, looking embarrassed. Finally, he picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Hi, Mr. Sterling, it's Neil Jenkins from the design department."

"Yes?" Dylan slightly scowled. The new director never called him directly. The only possibility was he had something about that little woman to tell him.

Jenkins said carefully, "I'm sorry to disturb you, Mr. Sterling. I thought I'd better report one thing to you... Miss Schulz, the designer assistant in our department, just handed in her resignation."

Director Jenkins was much more experienced than Tony, and he was fully alive to the whole thing.

Mr. Sterling dismissed Tony and his secretary in the previous meeting. Most people in the company thought that it was because Tony offended Mr. Sterling. In fact, it was clear to Jenkins that Mr. Sterling fired them for the sake of the little designer assistant, Savannah Shultz.

Jenkins didn't know what the relationship was between this little designer assistant and the big boss, but anyway, he couldn't repeat Tony's mistake. So he was very friendly to Savannah after taking office. Now Savannah offered to resign, and of course, he should report to Mr. Sterling first.

After a short silence, the man said coldly over the phone, "stop her first."

It was noon. When Savannah was busy doing her work, Fiona from the planning department came to call her to eat together.

"You're working really hard, Savannah. Let's go to lunch first."

"I have to hurry to work now." Savannah smiled.

"Ah? Why?"

"I have presented my resignation to Jenkins. I'll leave the company when I finish the work in my hand," Savannah said honestly.

"Huh? Why do you quit all of a sudden?" Fiona was amazed.

"Nothing. I told you that I came back to participate in the design competition. Now the competition is about to start, so I want to resign and prepare for the competition…" stammered Savannah.

Fiona was a little puzzled, "it's not easy for you to get this job, and you are going to be involved in more design work after Tony left. What a pity to leave now! What's more, working here is helpful to you during the competition. And I heard that our company has a good relationship with the judges in that competition."

Savannah also knew that the job had not been easy for her. She began to doubt if she was too impetuous.
