MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

"God knows," Savannah pretended to say casually, "it's hard to guess the thoughts of the boss. After all, there's no eternal friend or opponent in the business circles. Only the interests are the most important."

"That's right." Fiona nodded and then looked at Savannah with bright eyes. "Maybe it's also a good thing!"

"Why?" Savannah raised her eyebrows.

"If the two families break up, it means there will be no further development of the relationship between Mr. Sterling and Miss Rowe. That means I might still have a slight glimpse of hope, right?" For the girl who was obsessed with the big boss, it was good to know he was back to single again.

After all, no one wanted their idol to have a significant other.

"Well, more than a slight glimpse of hope. There's great hope." Savannah joked.

"Really?" Fiona's eyes became brighter.

"I didn't know you're so hopelessly romantic," Savannah laughed with a glint of humor, "is the big boss really that good?"

"Of course, he's handsome, really well-built, and rich! All unmarried women in our company are enchanted with him and want to marry him! Oh, you're the only one who's not interested in him! To tell you the truth, I wonder if you're lesbian..." Fiona chuckled.

Savannah rolled her eyes and laughed.

Fiona took a sip of the drink in her hand and then said with a dreamy gentleness, "Savannah, do you know what kind of girl Mr. Sterling likes? Beautiful? Sexy? Or babes in the woods? Alas, there're so many beauties and superstars in Zagreb Film, he'll never take a liking to me even if I stand in front of him… Maybe I need a change? Oh, I'll get my hair done tonight and buy some nice clothes..."

"Be yourself, perhaps he likes woman like you?" Savannah smiled helplessly.

"Really? Will Mr. Sterling like me?" Fiona's eyes flashed with excitement.

Seeing her staring expectantly at herself, Savannah laughed and patted her on the shoulder, joking, "yeah. Have some faith in yourself!"

Just then, a colleague from the same department as Fiona came and knocked on the table. "Fiona, you're still here. We just received a new task, go back early to help."

"Oh, okay. Savannah, I have to go back to work." Fiona put down her drink and stood up. She had to work hard; otherwise, she might be fired and never see her dream lover again.

"Well, see you later." Savannah smiled with a wave of her hand. After Fiona left, she played on her phone for a while. Suddenly she felt the canteen become very quiet.

Looking up, she found the dining-hall was empty.

She was left alone.

Suddenly it came to Savannah that she had experienced the same situation some days ago. She stood up abruptly and was about to turn to leave when she heard the familiar footsteps behind her. The next moment, she was taken by the arm and pulled into the arms of the man behind her.

Here he came again.

Maybe it was him who got Fiona away and emptied the staff canteen.

"Why are you here, again?" With a burned face, she released herself from his hold and stepped back two steps.

"I have a meeting with an important client here today, and drop by to see you." He stared at her with fervent eyes, his voice warm and husky.

"Oh." She replied absently as she looked around. Although she knew no one dared to come in, she was quite uneasy about being so close to him in the company, afraid to be seen by her colleagues.

He frowned at her nervousness.

What if they were seen by others? Was their relationship so humiliating to her?

He pulled her to him again and held her tightly against his chest, lowering his head.

"Why did you say that?" His voice was a bit unpleasant.

"Ah? What?"

"Just now, you encouraged your colleague, saying that I might like her. I did hear that!" His voice was suddenly stern. Wasn't this little woman jealous when other women confessed their love to her man?

This made him very unhappy!

"I was just joking. She's your fan. What else should I say?" Savannah was speechless.

"You should drive away all those who covet me." He taught her coldly.

"Well, I'll persuade Fiona not to adore you and tell her that you're very tough and difficult to get along with, okay?" Savannah chuckled. In order to appease him, she threw her arms around him and gave him a kiss on tiptoe.

Satisfied, he had one arm around her, clasping her to him, while the fingers of his other hand softly traced her face, gently probing her.

She was a little nervous at the tenderness in his dark eyes, so she hurriedly found a topic, "Oh, I heard that..." 

"What?"

"You canceled the cooperation with the Rowe group and announced that you wouldn't do business with their partners?"

"If Mrs. Rowe hadn't been your biological mother, their punishment would be more severe." Dylan gave a sneering laugh, a cold glitter in his eyes.

Savannah shivered for no reason.

Even if what Dylan did was exactly what she wanted, she still felt a little uneasy.

The more Dylan did for her, the angrier he might be when he knew how she made use of him. She was absolutely certain that she was consigning herself to perdition, and there was no turning back once she started.

"Do you think I've gone too far with the Rowe family?" Dylan whispered when he found her trembling.

"No..." She shook her head and looked up at him again. "I'm afraid you'd have too much pressure, from other management, or from your father... After all, your family has always had a good relationship with the Rowe family, and your father must be displeased that you're so cruel to them."

"I don't care how others feel. I just want to make my woman happy." His voice was husky, and he was gazing at her, his eyes concentrating hard.

Her face burned, and she knew she was moved.

Old Sterling must put great pressure on him, but he still insisted on going against the Rowe family for her...

Suddenly she felt really guilty.
