CHAPTER 96: CHAPTER 58: YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED TO GET CLOSE TO SKYLER JONES_2

The muscular body pinned her slender figure against the door, instantly controlling her restless hands. Then, with a fierce stance, he grabbed her waist, his thin lips sweeping away all her surprise and fear.

"Mmm...hmm...bastard..."

She stared wide-eyed, almost speechless.

But he kissed intently, finally prying open her tightly closed lips, pressing his body more against hers.

An indescribable feeling surged in her heart, that familiar sense of deja vu, heat, and longing made her feel a myriad of emotions. Yet, all these feelings were eventually overpowered by her reason. She began to struggle hard, "Let..."

A word barely escaped her before being swallowed again by his thin lips.

Knock knock, "Is there anyone inside?"

A woman’s knock on the door sounded outside, like a reminder that reached both of them, her body stiffened, and she pushed back even more strongly. Yet, he ignored it, still embracing her tightly and kissing her fiercely between her lips and teeth.

The increasingly intense struggle in his arms reminded him of her displeasure. After lightly and gently brushing her lips one last time, he finally loosened his hold, letting her push him away with all her strength.

She glared at him and almost immediately wiped off the marks on her lips with her hand, cursing, "Bastard!"

He couldn’t help but curve his lips, "How much of a bastard?"

His implication was that he might do even more "bastardly" things.

"You...despicable!!" Her upbringing from a young age prevented her from cursing more crudely at this moment.

Yet, he found it amusing, his handsome face rare in its relaxation.

She was burning with anger but reminded herself not to lose her temper because the angrier she became, the more she showed her inability to handle him.

Just as she bit her lip in frustration, his phone rang.

She wanted to turn and leave, but before she knew it, he had seized her wrist with his high-handed move as he took out his phone.

She glared at him furiously, but he calmly pressed the answer button on his phone.

It was evidently a call from a business partner. His handsome face bore a slight smile as he handled the business matters with ease.

She didn’t struggle. In the middle of his phone call, she unexpectedly snatched his phone with no warning.

He frowned in displeasure.

She waved the phone she took, then calmly glanced at him. Finally, under his gaze, she threw the phone into the toilet not far from her side.

At this moment, they locked eyes.

His gaze darkened with a dangerous undertone.

She neither showed weakness nor pretended to be strong, just scrutinized him as if he were a stranger.

At this moment, a voice from outside called, "Becca, Becca..."

The voice was from Skyler Jones, evidently looking for her.

Rebecca Quentin looked at Howard Geoffrey and blandly said, "My boss is looking for me. If Mr. Geoffrey doesn’t want my boss to come into the washroom to find me, we can continue to wait here."

He looked at her without speaking.

So, she struggled free of his hand and turned to leave.

As she left the Palace Club via Mevi, Rebecca Quentin apologized to Skyler Jones beside her, "I’m really unprofessional, almost messed up your business." Yes, she had stayed in the bathroom for too long, causing Skyler Jones to be unable to find the contract when it was time to sign, not knowing where she had gone.

Skyler Jones looked ahead. With a steady face that exuded an air of confidence, he had a faint smile, "Business can be done again. But you, why do you look unwell." As he spoke, he didn’t forget to glance at her in the rearview mirror.

Rebecca Quentin shrugged, "Nothing, maybe it’s the poor air in the club, too many random people here."

Skyler Jones chuckled, "You really have a way with words."

Rebecca Quentin followed with a laugh, then turned her gaze outside the window.

In silence, they drove for more than ten minutes. Suddenly, Skyler Jones spoke, "It’s almost noon, would you mind accompanying me for a meal?"

Rebecca Quentin readily agreed, "Sure, I’m hungry too."

Skyler Jones seemed in a good mood, his face maintaining a constant smile.

A high-end hotel in T City.

Skyler Jones had draped his suit on the side, the buttons of his white shirt were undone, and his tie was loosened, leaning against the sofa in a relaxed manner.

Rebecca Quentin, who was dining, looked up somewhat embarrassedly, whispering, "Um, am I eating a bit slowly?"

Skyler Jones shook his head with a smile, "Judging from your elegant dining posture, your ex-husband’s family background wasn’t poor."

"Ah?"

How did he know she’d been married?

Seeing Rebecca Quentin’s surprise, Skyler Jones explained, "Earlier at the club, you mentioned having been married, and now you’re single, so..."

Recalling her introduction at the club, Rebecca Quentin’s surprise turned into a faint smile, "Yes, I’ve been divorced."

"Recently?"

Rebecca Quentin buried her head again, poking at the food with a fork idly, lightly shaking her head, "No, it’s been three or four years."

At this moment, Skyler Jones didn’t ask any more questions.

Rebecca Quentin also didn’t say anything further, and the atmosphere inexplicably settled into silence.

Finally, Skyler Jones broke the silence, "Do you mind if I smoke?"

Rebecca Quentin shook her head, lost in thought.

On the way back, Rebecca Quentin couldn’t help but think about the washroom incident, while Skyler Jones seemed to be in a restrained mood, both of them evidently less lively than when they had come.

The entire afternoon, Rebecca Quentin made no more mistakes. She carefully accompanied Skyler Jones in business negotiations until it ended at nightfall.

At this moment, faced with Skyler Jones’s dinner invitation, Rebecca Quentin chose to refuse with a smile, "I have an elder at home, and I want to have dinner with her."

Skyler Jones just gently acknowledged, "Okay."

Bowing her head to organize several folders for Skyler Jones, Rebecca Quentin instructed, "Remember, the yellow folder is the contract you discussed with Mr. Gordon and Mr. Dawn today, the red folder contains the information Glen gave us, and..."

"I have a bad memory, just put them wherever."

"Then I’ll label them for you to make it easier to find."

Skyler Jones glanced through the rearview mirror at Rebecca Quentin, who was seriously marking the folders, and suddenly spoke, "Becca, have you ever thought of becoming my official secretary?"

Rebecca Quentin was stunned, "Ah?"

Skyler Jones spoke gently, "Actually, my secretary has taken more than a day off... She’s pregnant and needs a long maternity leave."
