"Wait, you're going to ride the elevator with me, and when we get to the parking lot, you're going to get in my car. I'll take you out to supper when we finish shopping for new clothing and changing into them."

I did not agree and said that I was sorry but that I needed to go early.

"Aren't you going?"

"Yes, I'm just getting started here. I just don't feel like going to that dinner party."

"Donna Davis, you're just a public secretary. Don't act like you have no clue."

"Thank you very much for minister Davis's praise; but, I truly do not want to depart,"

I shifted my focus and left the room.

This guy actually believes that if he has money, then he is wonderful. What a load of nonsense!

My hand was taken away just as I was about to press the button for the elevator.

"I'll give you one more opportunity to mull it over in your head. If you don't give careful consideration to the situation this time, I'll make your life much more miserable than a dog's!"

Even if I have no money nor authority, I will not stand for being intimidated.

"Are you sneering?"

Andrew Allen asked.

"Minister Allen, are you completely oblivious?"

I said furiously

Andrew Allen can't believe what he heard.

"Just because you have some money does not give you the right to behave like an estrous puppy.

Be careful not to turn yourself into a gigolo!"

I scrutinized him well before responding with,

"You can't make any money off of your appearance at a nightclub. "

Andrew Allen's face is flushed with rage since he has never been reprimanded in such a manner in his whole life.

"Poof."

Whoever laughed was not audible to me.

When Andrew Allen turned around to see who was laughing, he stopped dead in his tracks.

When I spotted the guy in front of me, I stopped moving as well.

Sean Matthews and Bruce Scott behind are approaching in silence from the other end of the hallway. Bruce Scott is the one who couldn't contain his grin at the moment. They are not far away.

Sean Matthews did not alter his appearance in any way, and the atmosphere was menacing.

Is Andrew Allen's office located on the same floor as Sean Matthews' office?

Despite the fact that he is just a distant cousin of the Matthews, Andrew Allen has a tremendous amount of fear.

"This new employee has been verbally abusive to the management staff, who have shown no regard for our organization, Mr. Matthews. such individuals are not permitted to continue working for our organization in any capacity."

After that, he cast a scornful glance in my direction!

as if to imply that if you insult me, you will be fired from your work.

This is exactly what I had in mind. Fire me fast! I just cannot wait!

The air became more strained. Sean Matthews stared at me with eyes that were dark and piercing, and he spoke in a tone that was deep and menacing. "She did a terrific job. She should start working as the president's secretary immediately. Now."

"Yes."

There was a nod from Bruce Scott.

After saying that, Sean Matthews went into the private elevator, and the door to the elevator closed behind him.

I just stood there dumbfounded. I was wondering whether there was something wrong with my ears.

Bruce Scott was queried in a hasty manner by Andrew Allen, "Just what is going on here? Promotion? Not dismissal?"

Bruce Scott grinned, but it was an oddly composed smile on his face. "Minister Allen, you should be thankful that Mr. Matthews did not demote you because you got into a fight with a subordinate in the firm." After that, he approached me and informed me, "report to the president secretary department first thing tomorrow morning."

After that, he departed.

My thoughts are racing in circles.

I apologized to Mr. Scott as I tried to get caught up.

"But I have no interest in advancing in my career. I believe that serving in a public sectretary capacity is beneficial."

Bruce Scott expressed a modicum of astonishment. "This is an instruction from Mr. Matthews, not to ask for your opinion," .

After that, he gave a kind grin before walking away.

I would be foolish to irritate Sean Matthews. If he finds out that I've been concealing his children, my relationship with him is over.

I went back to the house to prepare dinner for the kids, and then I sat in the far corner of the kitchen to think about whether or not I should quit from my job after tomorrow.

Will Sean Matthews be irritated by my resignation?

What are the repercussions of this decision?

"Alas..." I let out a long sigh.

"Mom?"

I raised my head and observed the kids as they entered the room. They approached me and crammed themselves into my arms.

I extended my arms and gave each of them a comforting embrace before asking, "What's the matter?"

"Mom, are you being bullied by anyone?"

When she inquired, Dora's expression was solemn and serious.

"Mom, let me assist you!"

The small hand gesture was made by Duke.

"Mom, you can count on me to assist you!"

Doris walked up behind me and wrapped his arm over my neck.

"Mom, I need a hug too...," the child said. Debbie said faintly.

I grinned. "I adore you each and every one of you darling kids."

When I think about how kind and intelligent the kids are, it makes my heart happy.

In addition to this, the kids inspired tremendous bravery inside my heart.

My vulnerability increases in direct proportion to the degree to which I am terrified.

The next day, I made my way to the president secretary department in order to report.

Bruce instructed me to get ready in advance and meet in the guest meeting room.

After making sure that everything in the meeting room was in order, I went outside to wait at the door.

I could see that the chiefs of several departments were approaching from a distance, so I hurriedly opened the door.

Is there nobody in the room?

When I turned around to lock the door, I found Sean Matthews standing there. He was dressed in a black suit and had a tall, straight figure. He had a powerful aura.

My diaphragm began to tighten.

Donna Davis's Pov

When I turned around, I was confronted by the towering presence of Sean Matthews, who was standing in front of me. As I looked down, the beating of my heart came perilously near to ceasing completely.

The door to the meeting room was opened by Bruce Scott once he took the initiative to come forward.

After the door was opened, it was seen that Sean Matthews walked through it and entered the conference room.

"Go in." Bruce Scott said.

What Bruce Scott said first thing this morning is very much on my mind right now. During the course of the meeting, it is possible that at any moment I will be needed to enter.

Because I was running late for the meeting, I hurriedly entered the room.

After entering the room, I moved immediately to the side of the projector and stood there.

It didn't take long for me to realize that I couldn't tear my eyes away from Sean Matthews once the meeting had begun.

I kept the presentation playing throughout the full conference by clicking the play button on the remote control whenever it was necessary. I did not participate in any extra activities of any kind.

The conference didn't end until one o'clock in the afternoon, which was far into the day.

After I helped open the door, the guests exited the room one after the other in the order .

Following the completion of his work on the computer, Bruce Scott stood up and then exited the premises.

Sean Matthews was the only one in the conference room, and as soon as he got there, he sat down in the chair and declared that he had no plans to get up.

Even at this early stage, I had the distinct feeling that those smoky eyes were fixated on me.

My heart continued to beat quite fast.

He... I'm not sure why he's looking at me in that manner. I don't get it.

The voice instructed them to lock the door and come to this location immediately.

The voice of Sean Matthews has a lulling quality, yet in a manner that suggests malevolence.

After a brief moment of indecision, I left the room, locked the door behind me, and crept up to a distance of one meter from Sean Matthews while maintaining an erect posture.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

I said my words in a hushed tone.

Before getting to his feet and facing the audience, Sean Matthews did not speak a single word.

I was so scared that I turned around and ran in the other direction.

Sean Matthews extended his arm and wrapped it around my waist before he began to pull me in.

I was so terrified that I let out a scream. After that, I ended up falling into the conference table.

Before I had a chance to respond, Sean Matthews' towering frame leaned against mine, and one of his hands came to rest on my ear. I became rigid and was unable to move. My stomach was in knots as I stared at him and said, "Mr. Matthews, what are you doing?"

"Are you trying to get my attention?"

The dark circles under Sean Matthews' eyes narrowed ever so little as he spoke "..." I was speechless and my thoughts went completely blank as I stammered out, "I... I didn't!"

"playing hard to get."

I stared at him with a perplexed expression.

Sean Matthews grabbed me about the waist, and he pulled me into him with an exclamation!

My cheeks flushed and I was aware of a rising temperature throughout my body.

"Mr. Matthews, I... I have absolutely no clue what you're talking about. My title is "administrative assistant," and that's all I do. This is not something that should be done. This room is reserved for business meetings and conventions! It is impossible to predict when people will start arriving.

When Sean Matthews came up to me, he gave me a quick grip on the jaw and said, "you have no idea? You won't believe it, but I'm going to take off every article of clothes you're wearing .Can you think of anything?"

I was paralyzed with fear to the point that all I could do was stare at him. Are you kidding?

"As it turns out, Mr. Matthews, you really must have mistaken the guy!"

I'm scared.

Obviously, I made an incorrect assessment of the amount of danger offered by this particular person.

During that short second, when I was utterly taken aback, Sean Matthews seized hold of my collar and pulled it down forcibly.

At that very moment, a memory of earlier in the evening came flooding back to me.

I took hold of both of Sean Matthews' hands and squeezed them together so that he couldn't continue speaking.

"Just now, the thought suddenly occurred to me. In any case, you shared a bed with me, and I shared a bed with you. It's even, right?"

"Even? You've already paid for it. How can that possibly be fair?" Sean Matthews questioned with a gloomy face.

Fear caused me to shake all over.

"That... That's not how it should be understood."

He had a very clear recollection of me.

"Or, are you going to return the money to me?"

I inquired with great caution.

I was so scared that I had to clamp my lips together whenever Sean Matthews made a face.

"You will have to wait and see whether you are successful in seducing me the next time."

After he finished, Sean Matthews let off of me and walked out of the conference room.

The door to the meeting room was quickly and forcefully closed.

I was so relieved that I just wanted to fall on the table where we were having the meeting.

I hastily got up from the table, pulled up the ripped collar, and straightened it all out?

What exactly does Sean Matthews want to convey with those words?

It has a spooky ring to it.

Does he believe that I am intentionally trying to seduce him?

Donna Davis's Pov

Working in the department that handles the secretaries is a role that suits me well. In any case, compared to my previous job as a public secretary, this one is a lot more relaxed.

Thankfully, Sean Matthews did not continue his unusual behavior following that incident.

When I was on my way home from work, I drove by a toy shop and pondered whether or not I should purchase any of the adorable dolls that were displayed in the window.

"Donna Davis?"

When I turned around, I saw two ladies seated in a vehicle that had pulled over on the side of the road. Even though it had been many years after I had graduated, I was still able to identify the lady who was in the automobile.

"Sally Nadine"

"Is it really you? Have you returned?"

"Ah, not long."

That's just a strange coincidence. Today is my birthday. Several of my classmates from college were invited. You are also familiar with them. "Shall we go together? "

"birthday? I'd best not go!"

Despite the fact that I haven't seen them in a number of years. When I have to hurry to go somewhere last minute, I usually feel quite hurried.

"Oh, come on! You have just returned. Shouldn't you at least be acquainted with who we are? Please provide me with your cell phone number, and I will get in touch with you later that evening. "

I had no choice but to provide my number, since I was unable to decline the offer.

"Contact later. Bye." After making that statement, Sally Nadine got into her car and left.

Indulgence is the order of the night for both men and women while they are at the bar at night.

I was wearing a jeans skirt when I entered the pub.

I still vividly recall the night I went to the pub and had a one-night stand with the man there.

"Donna Davis, make your way here!"

In the midst of all of the hubbub, I heard my name. After seeing Sally Nadine, I made my way over to her.

As soon as I arrived, I was taken aback and humiliated when I saw a familiar face in the midst of the group.

Aaron Matthews gazed at me as he held the wine glass in his hand but he also seemed to be in a state of mild surprise.

"Donna Davis, what is the matter with you being speechless?"

It was Sally Nadine who phoned her.

"I hope you have a wonderful birthday, Sally Nadine."

I brought myself back under control, and then I gave out the gift that I was holding.

If I had known Aaron Matthews was going to be here, there is no way I would have come!

Sally Nadine's eyes lit up with disdain when she saw the package I was holding, which was not even close to being as large as her palm.

The mocking smiles were shared by other ladies as well.

Someone remarked, "Is that the best present you can give, Donna Davis? What is the price of it?"

When Sally Nadine opened the box, she saw a set of pendants made of silver and decorated with flowers. She took hold in her hands and shook it in front of everyone. "Look, I would wager that it is little more than forty bucks,"

Sally Nadine let out a sigh, "Donna Davis, you astonished me! You're still so impoverished. Do you happen to know how much a drink costs at these bars? Over one hundred and eighty dollars for a simple glass of water!" After that, she hurled the necklace off of her head and onto the ground.

I was used to getting the short end of the stick, but I wasn't prepared to be mocked to that extent in front of my former partner. That thing is extremely irate!

Aaron Matthews did not speak at any point from the beginning to the finish of the meeting. He was most certainly paying attention to my joke!

I got down on my knees and scooped up the dropped necklace while bending down. My expression conveyed neither tolerance nor melancholy; rather, it was only a gentle grin. "It's really cheaper, but my boyfriend said that the gift means more in terms of sincerity, not the price."

"Your boyfriend?" enquired Sally Nadine.

Aaron Matthews lifted his eyes to meet my gaze and stared at me intently.

"I'm guessing your boyfriend comes from the same kind of family as you do,"

After that, everyone who was there laughed out loud.

"my boyfriend comes from an extremely wealthy family. It seems to me that you ought to be familiar with the most prominent people in a city. My fiance, Sean Matthews, is the leader of the top group. He is also the guy I'm dating." I stated it with a smile and a sense of comfort.

However, my innermost being is begging for help.

Aaron Matthews cast a passing glance in my direction.

"Top group? Your bragging can only go so far before it becomes ridiculous." Laughter came from Sally Nadine.

"In your perspective, it's possible that neither you nor I are a good fit for each other, but sadly, he merely likes me."

Others saw that my confirming aura, as if it were true, which made them a little suspicious

"If he is your boyfriend, why don't I know?"

The speaker was Aaron Matthews.

I rolled my eyes and scoffed, "why should I let you know?"

"Don't you know that Aaron's cousin is in head of the top group," Sally Nadine said. "Don't you know that?"

I couldn't believe what I was seeing in Aaron Matthews's eyes.

Will Aaron Matthews and Sean Matthews be brothers ?

Actually, I ended things with Aaron Matthews and had sexual relations with his brother.

My emotions are all over the place right now!

A disturbance could be heard coming from the direction of the bar's entrance at this moment. As I turned back, I saw a tall person entering the building from the front door.

The tense environment was instantly iced over as soon as he arrived.

I was taken aback. Why did he come?
