Ava Sterling didn’t worry about the glances around her and spoke intimately by Poe Vaughn’s ear, causing a collective gasp among the employees. Was Supermodel Sterling always this bold? At this moment, everyone watching Ava and Poe was dumbstruck. With steady steps, Poe Vaughn moved forward, but as her warm breath brushed his ear, mixed with her subtle fragrance, his heart stirred, and his deep eyes silently changed. Ava didn’t notice Poe’s change. After speaking, she saw the shocked eyes on them and her smile deepened. Everyone loves gossip, judging by their looks, it’s not like they’ve just started shipping us today, right? Just as she thought this, her waist was suddenly pulled by an arm, and almost instantly, she was pulled into his embrace. Ava immediately looked at him in surprise. Poe Vaughn gazed at her, guiding her forward, while his deep voice fell into her ear, "So?" Ava had no worry in her earlier words; instead, she seemed to be expecting some drama. She wanted to see how he would handle it. Or perhaps, she found it amusing? In any case, it was a sudden whim without particular intention. But now, as she looked him in the eyes, seeing his deep, rich gaze, Ava’s heart couldn’t help but race. Her ears even turned red instinctively. He... he pulled her into his arms so openly, was he really not afraid his subordinates would cause trouble for him? "Haha... nothing, nothing, just worried we might get exposed, and that would be troublesome for you." "But it won’t get out, you always handle things well, even if we were blatantly doing something, they wouldn’t dare to say anything." Ava chuckled dryly, not daring to provoke him. This man was not to be messed with. Poe Vaughn watched her fake smile and tightened his finger, "Blatantly..." Was there something wrong with what she said? Poe Vaughn raised his eyes as they reached the elevator, pressing the down button, and soon, the elevator doors opened. Ava suspiciously watched him, puzzled why he’d stop mid-sentence, didn’t it make him uncomfortable? Poe Vaughn pressed the basement level, and then the elevator doors closed. Ava saw his expression remain as usual, seemingly ending the topic. Though she had questions, she didn’t think much of it, withdrawing her gaze and no longer looking at him. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel⦿fire.net Anyway, as long as he didn’t make things difficult for her, his earlier demeanor quite unnerved her. Ava relaxed, her mind drifting to the shrimp wontons she wanted more of later... Her thoughts were abruptly cut off. Because suddenly, she was pressed into his arms, and before she could react, his lips were on hers, domineering and insistent. So that’s what he was waiting for... In the employee area. The employees watched as the duo disappeared from view until the elevator dinged and then the doors closed, silencing everything. Suddenly, there was a plop, something fell to the floor unknown to them. At this moment, every employee exploded! "Ahhh! What did I just see? Did I really see our boss holding Supermodel Sterling in his arms!!!" "I always thought our boss was like a millennium-old iceberg, no, a billion-year-old iceberg, impossible for anyone to melt, even Supermodel Sterling couldn’t break into his heart, but just now... I saw that iceberg move!" "It actually moved!!!" "So shippable, Supermodel Sterling and our boss are so shippable, my heart feels like it’s being scratched by a cat, I want to see more..." "I... I think I captured it..." Ava’s lips were red from Poe Vaughn’s kiss, and when she got in the car, her lips felt swollen. But looking at him, with that untouchable demeanor, he seemed indifferent, as if the kiss just now was with thin air. At this point, Ava couldn’t help but speak up. "Poe Vaughn, I want to ask you something!" Poe sat beside her, his large hand playing with her fingertips. Hearing her displeased voice, he looked up at her. Ava immediately said, "How do you always manage to get away so quickly and act as if nothing happened, not a bit flustered, while look at me, my face, my lips, I look like I just came out of the wild." "Do you think that’s fair?" The driver, hearing Ava’s words, instinctively glanced at her through the rearview mirror. Her long hair fell disheveled around her, a contrast to her previously tidy appearance, her face flushed, eyelashes damp, her eyes looking particularly moist as if she were a drenched kitten, looking pitiful. Then those lips, strikingly red, more vibrant than before, and even plumper, exuding an uncommon allure, moving down... Caught by a line of sight, the driver shivered and quickly looked away, swiftly pressing a button. Quickly, the partition in the car rose up. Poe Vaughn’s eyes were exceedingly dark, a fierce coldness dwelling within, yet Ava didn’t notice his strangeness. Instead, seeing him so neatly dressed, she grew more displeased and directly pulled at his shirt like a bandit snatching away a man. Poe’s body was suddenly pushed back into the seat by Ava, and next, his shirt buttons were yanked open, her soft hands scrabbling over him. Intentionally making his shirt wrinkled, to make him look as disheveled as she does. He reclined against the seat, fixating his eyes on her, watching her act like a little tiger, doing as she pleased with him. Ava wrestled for a while, seeing his shirt pulled out of his trousers, half hanging out, half in, vaguely revealing his navel. Several buttons were undone, showing his well-built chest and tight muscles. And in her bid to achieve her goal, she scrunched his shirt like laundry, rumpled, even rolling his sleeves up to forearms, unevenly, revealing the expensive watch on his wrist. That wasn’t all, she even rolled up his pant legs to his knees, the result of which was untidily rolled, loose, exposing his shoes and black socks. At this point, Poe Vaughn was completely devoid of the previous neatness, meticulousness vanished, looking extremely disheveled and negligent. Yet, in this state, he paradoxically exuded a unique allure. Like a difficult-to-tame stallion on the prairie, full of arrogance. Looking at the muscle lines hiding under his shirt, the beautiful contours, again seeing the faintly visible navel, slightly rising with his breath, then his arms, full of strength, even when casually resting there, carried an indescribable flavor. Even his calf, ankle, and even those fine pores he revealed, exuded a highly sensual air. Ava’s mouth hung open, completely speechless. Why did she think messing him up would only result in him looking more regal? At this moment, Ava couldn’t help but sigh inwardly; some people are simply born noble. No matter how they change, they can’t rid their inherent nobility. Ava was disheartened. Poe Vaughn observed her transition from angry and displeased to astounded and amazed, and then at last a face of resignation. He raised his hand. In an instant, Ava was pulled into his embrace again.
