The Unveiled Rose

Zane just couldn't bear to let go. "I want to stay with you a little longer."

I laughed and replied, "But I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere. Zane, you still need to make money and care for Willow. What will your many employees do if you get lost in love and stop paying attention to the company?" Finally, Zane reluctantly let go of me. But before returning to his desk, he pulled me into his arms for another deep kiss.

After he left, I looked at the computer screen. I knew how to proceed with the next part of the drawing now.

Then on, I focused on sketching the outlines.

Once I finished, I turned around. I was surprised to find Zane secretly watching me, and I walked over to him. "Don't you feel like working right now?" "I've finished today's tasks," he replied.

Perhaps it was because we had just confirmed our relationship, but standing across from me, Zane felt like the distance between us was too great.

He grabbed my wrist and pulled me into his embrace. "So, you should make time to be with me too. Let's consider it a celebration of our first day together. How does that sound?"

How had I never noticed before that he was someone who valued couple traditions?novelbin

Though I found it a little amusing, I decided to indulge him. "Okay."

Zane was thrilled and leaned in to kiss me again..

"Creak." The office door was pushed open, and Zane's face turned ashen.

He instinctively pulled me into his arms to shield me from being seen. "Remember to knock next time when you come in."

Sasha was surprised, asking, "Is this what it's like in the office with you two, just hugging and cuddling?"

Was this how couples behave nowadays? Honestly, she felt a bit envious!

When I heard Sasha's voice, I quickly stood up.

Then, she grabbed my hand and led me to the couch, earnestly saying, "A woman must love herself. Don't let a man sweet-talk you and then allow him to kiss and hug you."

I was surprised. "How do you know so much about love?"

Sasha answered immediately, "It's simple. I'm jealous of you. I just made it up to try and get you to keep your distance."

I was dumbfounded.

Sasha then lay in my arms. "But if I'm the one being intimate with you, then forget everything I just said."

Without giving me a chance to speak, she continued, "Do you remember the man I told you about before? The one who said he wanted to date me, but while I was thinking it over, he suddenly found another woman?"

I definitely remembered. "What kind of trouble has he caused this time?"

Sasha spoke with apparent disdain. "He realized that offering to arrange a marriage didn't work, so now he's recommending new projects to my dad. Ever since my dad talked with Zane, he knows how to judge whether a project is problematic. "This time, he kept an eye out and specifically looked at the project that the jerk recommended to my dad. It turns out that every one of them had issues!

"My dad rejected him that same night, and he didn't forget to call me afterward, reminding me to stay far away from men like that!"

I agreed with Sasha's father. "That's true. He says he likes you, but he won't even pursue you properly. Instead, he resorts to such despicable methods. It's really disgusting."

Sasha nodded in agreement. "Exactly. He's hoping to bankrupt my family's company. That way, I'll have no choice but to marry him."

Sasha couldn't understand how he could be so selfish. What would happen after she married him? Would he even treat her well?

Sasha wasn't so sure.

She thought that once he had gotten what he wanted, he'd probably be interested in her for a little bit, then get bored and look for ways to get rid of her.
