Chapter 33
Vanessa was stunned when Shawn finished.
Shawn's face was close, and his breath wrapped around her. The unspeakable atmosphere filled the spacious office.
Slowly, various thoughts came to Vanessa's mind.
She couldn't control it at all.
The change of psychological activity showed on her face uncontrollably.
Specifically, Vanessa's face turned red and hot.
Naturally, she could feel the burning sensation on her skin. Even her breath turned into a heat wave.
But she subconsciously felt that she could not panic at this time.
After staring at Shawn for a long time, Vanessa finally blinked and said slowly,
"Wow, I'm looking forward to it."
Her face was red as an apple, but she was still forcing herself to say such words to flaunt her superiority. Even she herself didn't understand why.
Shawn thought her funny.
He pinched Vanessa's chin.
"You've got some nerve!"
Vanessa was speechless.
Shawn loosened his hand, sat up straight, and put on his glasses.
Vanessa touched her hot chin and whispered, "You said that first."
"Well?" Shawn put his arm on the sofa and looked at her askew. "Will you listen to what I say?"
"Of course." Vanessa answered, "You asked me to work overtime, so I came."
Shawn approached her again.
He didn't approach her as he had before but only leaned over Vanessa's back.
"I am hungry now."
Vanessa widened her eyes, looked around, and stammered, "It's daytime now. We're in the office. Isn't that good?"
"What's wrong? The desire for food and sex is part of human nature." Shawn moved closer. "Who said that we can't do it in the office in the daytime?"
Vanessa's fingers tightened on the sofa in an instant. "Then... I have to go to the bathroom."
"Bathroom?" Shawn squinted. "Do you have this hobby?"
Vanessa's mind was in a whirl.
Was it too fast?
However, when she saw Shawn's face, she felt she had no loss. It was just that doing this kind of thing in this scene was too exciting.
It turned out that office sex in the movie was not a myth. CEOs really liked it.
Seeing Vanessa's eyes, Shawn knew she was really starting to fantasize. He finally stopped teasing her. Instead, he put the back of his hand against the corner of his lip, got up, and walked toward the desk.
"Put away the things in front of you. It's time for lunch."
Vanessa, "Ah?"
Shawn leaned against the table and looked down at Vanessa. "Doesn't your company allow you to eat in the office during the day?"
Vanessa was speechless.
After a long pause, she forced a smile and pushed the files in front of her away.
"Our company has strict rules. It's really forbidden to eat in the office."
A few minutes later, the doorbell rang.
Two lunch boxes were brought in and placed neatly on the reception table.
Vanessa looked at the food and was disappointed.
Work overtime, read materials, and eat working meals.
It was really a full day.
She thought there was still a lot of work to do, so she ate more.
It was not until she got up after lunch and went to the bathroom in the office to rinse her mouth that she felt a little bloated.
When she was thinking about how to digest, Shawn got up and said, "I'm going to have a meeting. Stay here by yourself."
Then he went straight to the office gate. Just about to step out, he suddenly thought of something. He looked back at Vanessa, who was walking slowly. "Are you used to eating cakes after a meal?"
Vanessa, "Huh?"
Shawn, "If you like..."
Vanessa reacted and replied with a blank face, "No, thank you."
Shawn smiled and said nothing. When he went out, the door of the office closed automatically.
Vanessa also looked at the door. After a long time, she slowly relaxed and sank into the sofa. She took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Emily.
Vanessa, "I think things are going differently now than I imagined."
Emily, "What's up?"
Vanessa, "It seems that I have deviated from the track of becoming your aunt-in-law and am running in the direction of being his sex partner."
Emily sent a voice message. She was surprised. "Did you go to bed so soon?"
Vanessa, "No! But I think he..."
She typed intermittently, without any logic or language, and told Emily what had happened in the office today.
She didn't know if Emily could understand.
Emily should be busy with her work at this time, so she didn't reply.
Vanessa was sleepy after waiting for a while, so she picked up a pillow and leaned against the sofa, intending to sleep for a while.
The heating was turned on in the office, so in a moment, Vanessa fell asleep.
At this time, it was less than two o'clock, and clouds slowly covered the sun.
The shadow of the curtain shook Vanessa's face, a little cool. Unconsciously, time passes quietly in sleep.
Shawn came out of the conference room. Ben followed Shawn with two middle-level managers, holding folders and preparing to go to his office for a meeting.
But when the door opened, they saw a woman sleeping on the sofa.
They noticed the scene at a glance because the woman wearing a red skirt was too conspicuous in the cold-colored office.
What was more eye-catching was that her legs hung casually at the edge of the sofa, revealing her slender legs and the instep not covered by high heels.
The atmosphere at the door of the office was a bit awkward.
Ben turned his head as he thought.
The other two managers turned around, too.
But as soon as they turned around, they found them face to face. Then they immediately turned 180 degrees at the same time to see the scenery of the company.
Shawn glanced at them and seemed to disdain their panic.
"Wait a minute."
Then he walked in unhurriedly and closed the door.
Ben was speechless.
"Then why did you close the door?" He thought.
Shawn came in very gently, stepping on the carpet beside the sofa and looking down at Vanessa.
She leaned over and held her head at a strange angle.
She might not feel it when she fell asleep, but she would definitely feel stiff when she woke up.
Shawn squatted down, pulled her back and legs with his arms, and gently pushed her to lie on the sofa.
Although his movements were light, they still disturbed Vanessa.
She frowned, did not open her eyes, and found a more comfortable place to sleep.
But a few minutes later, she gradually realized that someone seemed to touch her.
She opened her eyes and found no one in front of her. Only the green plants in front of her shook slightly.
She was a little confused. She sat up slowly, looked around, and finally determined that she was dreaming.
At this time, her brain was still a little unclear. She looked at the screen of her mobile phone. It was exactly three o'clock in the afternoon. She slept for more than an hour.
There were several unread voice messages from Emily.
After the nap, she became more tired.
She breathed slowly and leaned lazily on the sofa, clicking on the unread messages.
Emily's voice was clear and loud in the quiet office.
"In fact, I've wanted to say it for a long time. Even if you can't be Mrs. Yeats, you can sleep with him.
"It's not a loss at all!
"Come on, sister. I sincerely hope you can marry into a rich family and get rich as soon as possible."
Until the last message was half played, Vanessa finally remembered that she was in Shawn's office.
Even if he were not here at the moment, it would be strange for her to hear such words in his office, so she paused the message.
At the same time, there was a murmur of water in the office.
Vanessa's heart beat faster in an instant. She almost reflexively looked at the bathroom next to her and held her breath.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
After a while, the sound of the water stopped, and the door was opened from the inside. Shawn came out with a paper towel, wiping his hands.
Sure enough, it was him.
Vanessa was too frightened to speak.
She just watched Shawn walk to his desk, throw away the paper towel and look at her.
"Are you awake?"
Vanessa was stunned and nodded. "Why are you here?"
Shawn was amused. "Is this my office or your office?"
Vanessa was speechless for an instant.
After a while, she asked, "Did you..."
"I was washing my hands." Shawn asked, "What's the matter?"
Seeing his normal expression, Vanessa slowly recovered her calm.
The bathroom door was closed, so he should hear nothing.
"Nothing. I was just shocked."
Shawn came over and looked at her directly. "Why didn't I find you so timid before?"
Vanessa pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.
Until Shawn pointed to the files on the desk, "Do you regard my office as a hotel? Are you not going to work?"
Vanessa immediately opened a financial statement.
After Shawn walked out of the office, she was relieved and took out her mobile phone to reply to Emily.
"I was scared to death! Shawn almost heard what you just said!"
The office door opened. After Shawn came out, it closed automatically.
He didn't stop but walked forward and said coldly.
"Go to conference room three."
Ben gave him a puzzled look. The two subordinates behind him were also confused.
It was only a few minutes before and after that. Why did Shawn's mood change so much?
The thought of the next separate meeting made them nervous.
Shawn finally returned to his office after a two-hour meeting. The files on the table were neatly arranged. It was obvious that she had read them.
Vanessa was standing by the window, answering the phone.
"Saturday? It should be OK. I don't have to work overtime at the end of the year.
"A two-day excursion? I see. But I have to take my computer with me. Maybe I'll have a sudden job."
The person on the other end of the phone was the girl Vanessa knew when she was an intern at the newspaper. They had had a good relationship since then. Although they now worked in different companies, they had always kept in touch.
She had planned to go around with her boyfriend this weekend, but her boyfriend suddenly had something to do. She had booked the hotel and tickets and didn't want to miss the opportunity, so she called to ask Vanessa if she would like to go with her.
After listening, Vanessa nodded, "I see. I'll go to the company for a meeting tomorrow to determine if there is anything important. I'll answer you then."
As soon as she finished, Shawn's voice suddenly sounded behind her.
"Yes, you have something important."
Vanessa was surprised.
She looked back and saw Shawn standing not far from her.
Vanessa, flustered and said to the phone, "I have something to do now. Let's talk about it later."
Then she asked Shawn, "Excuse me?"
When Shawn passed her, he glanced at her tightly held mobile phone. "Next Friday to Sunday, Karencher Summit will hold in Boynton. Won't you go?"
The Karencher Summit originated in the West. At that time, the industry leaders would gather, which was an annual event in the industry. Vanessa certainly wanted to go.
But this year, only TV reporters were eligible to join it.
Vanessa told the truth, "I'm not qualified."
Shawn, "Then you have it now."
Vanessa wondered.
Seeing her puzzled expression, Shawn walked up to her step by step.
"Don't you want to go? Or do you want to travel with your old friend?"
"No, I..."
"Are you going?"
Shawn stared at her, trying to capture her emotions in her eyes.
"Is Karencher Summit no longer attractive to you?"
Vanessa thought carefully. Then expectation and joy showed in her eyes.
The Karencher summit was certainly attractive to her, but the greater attraction was...
"Can I follow you all the way?"
Shawn didn't answer immediately but looked at her carefully as if he wanted to see through her thoughts.
His eyes frightened Vanessa.
After a long time, he sighed and said, "Yes, you can follow me all the way, including meals and hotel. Is that okay?"
