With his head held low, Marcus gave a peck on Cordelia’s smooth forehead.
“Wifey, do you know what an athlete must do before a competition?”
Her bright eyes filled with doubt. She shook her head innocently.
Marcus smirked and whispered into her ear, “To stay abstinent.”
Cordelia was stunned.
“If one allows their feelings to take over them, their limbs will be weak in the fighting ring. They’ll
definitely lose the match.
“So you’re the one to blame.” Marcus looked at her and played with her flushed earlobe. “I can’t hold
back when I see you. We’re together every day… How am I supposed to stay abstinent?”
“Hey…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCordelia glared at him in a coquettish manner. There was light in her beautiful eyes.
It was men who had poor self-control from the beginning of time, yet they were blaming that on women.
That was not fair!
She bit her lip softly, looking unwilling. Meanwhile, what she did looked more like seduction to him.
A burning desire was flowing through his body, making him lose control.
Marcus grinned and pressed her onto the couch.
“What are you doing?” Cordelia moved her body and protested gently. “Didn’t you say you have to stay
abstinent?”
“Training only starts tomorrow.” He removed the bathrobe quickly and pounced on her. He had a playful
look on. “No abstinence… for tonight!”
…
“Z, did you hear what I said?” Fredric had sweat dripping down his forehead from the panic.
“Say something!”
Stunned, Marcus had just realized that his mind had wandered. He coughed softly and got up from the
big long chair. He walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling window.
The work report from the five consortiums in Chaiseland had ended, but he had not heard a word.
It was his first time being distracted by an important event like this. The reason for it was that he had
his head filled with the image of the young lady…
Marcus pinched between his eyebrows and asked with his low voice. “What time is it?”
Fredric was stunned. “5:00 p.m.”
“I mean… in Jangasas.”
Feeling speechless, Fredric tossed all of the documents on the table and released a long sigh.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Boss, the time difference between Ricos and Jangasas is eight hours. Can’t you calculate that
yourself?”
“Ah, he’s just being straightforward!” Josiah giggled. “It’s midnight over there. She’s deep in
dreamland!”
There was a slight change of expression in Marcus’ eyes.
Was she really deep in sleep? Could she really fall asleep without him by her side?
Every day was tough for him when he tried to sleep the past few days in Ricos…
Josiah continued with a smile. “Z, you’re really something. You’re here in Ricos for the financial report,
yet you lied to her that you have intense training for a competition… Only you can pull off a lie like that!
So what lie will you come up with when you come here again?”
“Not only Ricos but there’s also Centrolis. You’ll have to be all over the world.” Fredric glanced at him,
speechless. “Z, if you take over the Hamertons in the future, you won’t be able to hide your identity
anymore. Are you going to lie to her for the rest of your life?”
