Chapter 201

I was daydreaming about the past. I don’t know how long it took, but he finally ended the call. He turned around, casually glanced at me, then returned to his chair, flipping open the documents on the table to sign them. For a while, he completely ignored me, not even giving me a glance.

I frowned and said, “I came. Tell me, what exactly do you want me to do?”

“Come here!”

He didn’t even lift his head as he spoke. I was dragging my suitcase and about to walk past when he suddenly said, “Just leave the suitcase there; no one will take it.” The tone was slightly disdainful.

I was stunned for a moment, then placed the box at the door and walked straight towards him. Standing in front of the desk, I saw him smoothly signing the documents. Believe it or not, this man not only looks handsome but also writes extremely well. I stood in front of the desk for a while, and he remained silent again.

I was a bit annoyed and couldn’t help but shout, “Reynaldo…” I hated this silent waiting. He should either speak to me clearly or directly give me tasks. It was uncomfortable waiting for him to speak like this.

Reynaldo finally lifted his gaze. He closed the file, lazily leaned back in his chair, and smiled at me. “You were five minutes late. Tell me, how should I punish you?”

I furrowed my brows and looked at the wall clock. It was already half past nine. I couldn’t help but say, “I had already arrived; you were on the phone.”

“Really?” Reynaldo chuckled. “When you came in, it was 9:05.”

I was speechless. He hadn’t turned around the whole time—did he grow eyes on the back of his head?

“Come here!” He asked me to approach him. I stood still. I frowned and said, “I’ve already listened to you, so just say what you want to say.”

Reynaldo smiled and tugged at his tie, but the coldness in his eyes never dissipated. He seemed a little angry, propped himself up from the table, and stood, smiling at me. “You seem quite aggrieved to come to my company.”

Do you really resist me like this? You should know that what I’ve given you is no less than what Winston gave you. I was a little annoyed. Why did he bring up Winston again? He asked me to do something, but after a while, he gave no instructions, instead playing mind games.

To avoid angering him, I tried my best to speak with a lowered head and submissive tone, saying, “Mr. Humphrey, you misunderstood. Didn’t you ask me to come to work? I was just thinking about getting started as soon as possible and getting my job on track quickly.”

“Handle the onboarding, huh,” Reynaldo circumvented the table and walked towards me. He casually leaned against the table’s edge and smiled. “No rush.”

You are not in a hurry, but I am! I wanted to know my job as soon as possible so I could plan my escape later. No matter what, I was definitely leaving before my belly grew bigger!

I was calculating in my mind when suddenly a force landed on my waist. Then, he pressed me into his arms.

The scent of male hormones lingered around my nostrils, teasing my heart. Listening to his strong heartbeat, my heart also started to race. I struggled, furrowed my brow, and asked, “Reynaldo, what exactly do you want to do?”

“I didn’t have any plans.” He lowered his head, and a warm, ambiguous breath blew into my ear. “I just suddenly remembered the passion you had that night, and I felt it again.”

“You… ah…” I hadn’t finished speaking when he suddenly grabbed my waist, spun me around, and sat me on the desk. Speaking of which, at 1.65 meters, I’m not a delicate or petite girl. How does he always manage to lift me up like I’m a baby chick?

He placed both hands on the table, bent his knees, blocking me between his legs, and dominantly imprisoned me between him and the table. I felt both anxious and embarrassed. This is the office; what does he want to do? I don’t know when, but his hand came to my waist, gently stroking my side.
