“Marry me,” I utter seductively.
He stares at me blankly. His thick eyebrows look like they are having a hard time thinking if they will arch or furrowed. In the end, he hisses as if what I just stated is a big joke.
I understand why he acted that way. Who would have thought that the man I hate is also the man I would ask to marry?
“Get out of my office, Ms. Levrinne,” he turns his back on me and went to the high table on the left side of the office. He grab a glass and poured a whiskey on it—completely ignoring me.
While he is busy acting busy, I use it as an opportunity to do the thing I am good at.
Slowly, I unzip the back zipper of my black leather dress and let the gravity do the work. The dress slid down on the floor, leaving me with my red sexy, and lacy lingerie.
I notice how his jaw clench and one of his eyebrows is tempting to arch. The surprised expression swiftly passed onto his face but I am quick enough to catch it. I smirk. He’s good at hiding his emotions but I’m better at catching one.
Sorry, Mr. CEO but I’ve been with boys even before I hit puberty. I exactly know your species’ weaknesses.
“Like what you are seeing?” I smirk. I made sure that the way I pronounced every single word is full of seductiveness.
His eyes travel down to the wholeness of my body and then back to my face. I gulp. There is something in his stares that made me uncomfortable. Still, I tried to maintain a seductive smile. However, when my gaze met him, I felt like I was being splashed by cold water when I saw nothing in his eyes. He languidly took a sip of his whiskey while his stares are still glued on me.
One side of his lips rose for a grin. “I’ve seen and touched better bodies, Ms. Levrinne…” his stares crawl from my face down to my body. “There’s nothing special to see here,” he coldly utters and drinks the remaining alcohol in his glass.
WHAT THE HELL?!
