MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Fiona quickly turned around and left.

"What's your relationship with this woman?" Kevin looked at Dylan with eyes like cold knives.

"She's my new secretary," Dylan said simply.

"Oh. You have so many companies under the Sterling group, but with all the talented employees in those companies, you chose to promote Savannah's friend, a woman who has always admired you and liked you. Who believes that she's only your secretary? What do you mean by having Savannah see you so close to her friend? You are stabbing her in the heart, making her sink into despair!" Kevin's eyes flashed red.

"Whatever. I won't marry Savannah, and besides a son, I have nothing more to do with her. I don't care if she's with another man, and my affair is also none of her business." Dylan looked at him, impassive.

Kevin's clenched fists crunched.

After a long time, he took a look at Dylan and said, "Okay. I hope you remember what you said today. Since you don't want to have any more relations with Savannah, don't go to Savannah and never hurt her again."

"Take my word for it," Dylan said, shrugging his shoulders.

Kevin turned and marched off.

"Mr. Wills," Garcia hurried forward as Kevin arrived at Green Bay. "Have you met Mr. Sterling? How's it going?"

Kevin was silent for a moment and asked, "Where's Savannah? Did she eat anything today?"

Garcia knew the answer.

Mr. Sterling was determined to call off the wedding.

Savannah urged her not to tell Joanne, but she couldn't watch Savannah suffer alone. So she called Kevin.

Unexpectedly, he failed to change Mr. Sterling's mind.

"No, she seemed to be in a trance all the time." Garcia sighed.

Kevin headed upstairs and knocked on the bedroom door.

There was no response.

He pushed the door in. Savannah, sitting on the bay window, gazed abstractedly through the muslin curtain, her hands crossed on her knees.

After days of not eating much, she lost a lot of weight. Her face was thin and worn.

"Savannah." He whispered as he walked to her, in a burst of anguish.

Savannah turned her head. A glimmer of a forced smile came to the dry lips when she saw Kevin.

"Kevin..."

"I'm here. Come down and dine with me, okay? I'm hungry." Kevin relaxed his tone.

"I can't eat... Will you let Garcia cook for you?" She whispered with difficulty.

She would die if she didn't eat!

Kevin couldn't restrain himself any longer. He yanked her to her feet and shouted in a low voice, "Savannah, is it worth it for a man who doesn't love you anymore? In that man's eyes, the reputation of his family is more important than you. He has an affair with your friend and even gave you to me. It's senseless to be so sad for him!"

She seemed to wake up from his words, and her blank eyes became filled with tears.

She pressed her hands to her eyes, trying to stop her tears from running down.

Kevin found her shaking violently. Her silent crying was even more painful. But he just patted her on the back and didn't stop her.

After crying long and bitterly, Savannah wiped her face and slowly straightened up.

"Kevin, let's go downstairs to dinner," she said in a hoarse whisper.

Kevin was right. There was no point in her breaking down for him. She should think no more of him.

She had Kaiden, mom, and she had Kevin and Garcia, who cared for her. With so many people to love, why should she waste her mind on a man who gave up on her?

She fought to hold back her tears of grief and went downstairs with Kevin.

After that day, Savannah devoted herself to her work and became more silent.

Kaiden was privately warned by Garcia, knowing daddy canceled the wedding and mommy was very unhappy, so he dared not to mention it anymore.

Old Sterling talked with Dylan when he knew about the cancellation of the wedding. But his son was always so dictatorial. No one else could control his mind.

At the same time, Young series was listed on the counters of major shopping malls, which set off a wave of fashion and was welcomed by young women. The response was better than expected. More surprising was that it attracted the attention of YSHEN, an overseas well-known fashion design company. Its boss appreciated the design style of Young series and sent people to LA, aiming to further cooperation.

K&G's employees were all uplifted to learn that YSHEN was interested in working with K&G.

Although K&G was a mature garment company in LA, its products had never stepped abroad.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the new boss took office, the newly launched series became an instant hit and was appreciated by YSHEN.

To be honest, when K&G changed hands and had a young female boss, most of the staff remained skeptical.

In private, they heard that K&G was a gift to the female boss from a big shot. It seemed that K&G was only a play for the new boss, and no one thought she would pay much thought to it.

Slowly, people found that though the new boss was a young woman, she was calm and hard-working, and talented in fashion design. They gradually changed their opinion of her and no longer dared to underrate her after K&G received a cooperative willingness from YSHEN.

Savannah didn't care what her subordinates thought of her.

There were so many things going on right now. The season was changing, and she must decide on the new style of Young series soon.

She also needed to spend great effort and energy to deal with the details of the cooperation with YSHEN.

She had to do everything herself.

Not until they separated did she know how difficult it was to run a company.

K&G was only a small-sized garment company. But when she took over it formally, she was too busy to think of anything else, so engaged that she could fall asleep as soon as she touched her bed every day.

As the big boss of the Sterling group, Dylan, however, seemed full of beans all the time.
