MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Last night, Dylan asked Garwood to send him the annual reports and important conference videos of the Sterling group in recent years and went over them quickly.

Fortunately, though he forgot most people and things, the innate ability to work had not disappeared.

After working through the night over the black coffee, he picked up most of his work.

Hearing footsteps, he looked up and saw Savannah coming down. He raised his dark eyebrows, remembering her behavior last night. Suddenly he picked up his laptop and got up, put on his suit, and went to the door.

Savannah, dumbstruck, watched his back disappear as the door was closed. Then, from outside the yard, the car's engine started.

She felt completely lost.

Well, she should have foreseen his attitude towards her.

Could she expect him to give her a good morning kiss and a hug?

She couldn't get herself close to him when she lost her memory and took him as a stranger at that time.

That was fine. She still had time to pull him back and remind him of her.

With him, so many things had come through, she wasn't afraid of this one!

Never give up hope!

She took a long breath, pulled back her confused thoughts, and sat down to breakfast.

On the running Maybach, Dylan looked out of the window, his expression unreadable.

Garwood, on the driver's seat, glanced at his boss and asked tentatively, "Sir, didn't you have breakfast with Miss Schultz before you left?"

Dylan looked confused, but immediately his face became impassive again.

He knew that he had treated the little woman too coldly.

In fact, he could see what she wanted the night before, and when she hugged him to stop him, her eyes were filled with tears. It seemed that she was very hurt.

But his mind was blank when he looked at her, and he was unable to recall any familiar or intimate feeling towards her.

He wanted to remember something about her, but...

He really did his best.

To avoid embarrassment, he could only keep her at a distance.

Savannah finished breakfast and cleared up her mood before she went to K&G.

K&G had just launched its men's clothing of Young series on the market.

Meanwhile, various advertising and promotional activities were on the way.

As soon as she got into the office, Tina walked over.

"Miss Schultz, I just got in touch with Chris's agent. Chris will attend the AD activity party tonight. But he has to catch a flight early in the next morning for another activity, so he has only ten minutes for the party," Tina reported.

Savannah nodded. "Well, that's all right. Ten minutes will be enough. Get the dress ready for me, and I'll attend the party in the evening."

Chris, at his level, didn't really need to be in every AD campaign or party. He just needed to be in some important promotion conferences.

But he was so nice that he managed to squeeze as much time as possible to attend most events for the clothing he endorsed.

So Savannah would attend all the events that Chris would go to.

"Okay, I'm going to get you the dress." Tina had always prepared a proper dress for Savannah when she had business dinner. After all, Savannah was the boss of a company now, and she represented the image of K&G.

The sunset and night came.

The lights inside and outside Sterling's house were automatically turned on, lighting up the entire luxurious mansion.

In the dining room, however, no one got started in front of the nice food.

"Cooper, have you called Savannah? Why hasn't she come back yet?" Old Sterling looked at Cooper, who had just hung up.

"Miss Schultz said that she was going to participate in K&G's new product AD activity tonight, and she would come back very late. You don't need to wait for her," Cooper replied.

Dylan frowned slightly. Garwood had told him that the little woman owned a clothing company, which was given by him to her. But did she need to be so busy?

"AD activity? Savannah is the boss. She doesn't have to go in person, does she? Why not let someone else arrange it?" Old Sterling also frowned.

"Well, it seems that the spokesperson for the new product is Chris, a hot star, and he's Miss Schultz's friend. Miss Schultz attended the party because of Chris's there tonight." Cooper thought for a moment and said.

The frown on Dylan's face was deepening to a scowl.

"That's understandable," old Sterling nodded.

"Can we have dinner now?" Kaiden, who was already hungry, knocked on the edge of the table impatiently. "I can eat a horse!"

"Oh, my baby is starved. Come on. Get stuck in." Old Sterling smiled kindly and put a BBQ chicken leg on Kaiden's place.

Dylan, however, seemed distracted. In the middle of the meal, he dropped his fork and knife and went upstairs to continue his unfinished business.

At the dinner party, Savannah, dressed in a violet dress, stood onstage with Chris as they faced the reporters.

"Mr. Pattinson and Miss Schultz have known each other since Fashion Queen, and now Mr. Pattinson is endorsing the new products of Miss Schultz's company. Are you only good friends or dating now?" A reporter asked directly.

"Every time Mr. Pattinson attends an endorsement event, we're sure to see Miss Schultz. You seem to be in a special relationship. People said that you're a perfect match. What do you think about it?" Another reporter put it more bluntly.

"Yes, it's said that Miss Schultz used to be a plane model and the spokesperson of JK games. You must have a lot in common with Chris, right? What's your relationship now?"

Chris and Savannah looked at each other and smiled.

Chris, who had been in showbiz for so long, had long been used to this kind of offensive questions from reporters, and he didn't care about what they would write. He was just afraid that Savannah would be embarrassed.

"I have to say that you media people are good at guessing, but you never hit it." Chris smiled at the reporters bewitchingly and said, "Miss Schultz and I are just friends. Um... there should be an added relationship now: the boss and the employee. Ha, well, yes, she's my boss. So you don't talk nonsense. Don't offend my beautiful boss, or I might lose the endorsement."

Everyone laughed.

Savannah chuckled. No wonder that Chris had been popular in the showbiz at such a young age. He was not only handsome but also clever, witty, good-natured, and he had a high EQ. He avoided those sharp questions without offending anyone.
