With a puzzled expression on Wylynn's face, Levi quickly read what was on her mind and stated, "I want to do it again for the last time."
He said those words frankly, without a single joke or insult in his voice.
Wylynn moved slightly and thought of refusing. But Ean's image suddenly flashed through her mind before she could utter any words, prompting her to refrain from opening her mouth.
Just a while ago, she met Levi's friends, one of whom spat dirty words, and the other was a bully. If Levi got along well with such people, he must not be a good person either, since there was an adage saying, "birds of the same feather flock together." As such, Wylynn couldn't help but worry that Levi would fly into a rage and make things difficult for her family if she refused. Moreover, the 120 thousand dollars mental damage fee was too much for them to handle. With that in mind, Wylynn eventually got into the car, reasoning that Levi was very personable and patient in bed, which was better than provoking him.
After a few minutes of traveling, Levi pulled over to a hotel and got out of the car. Wylynn automatically followed him inside. When the elevator opened, she saw a man and a woman who she reckoned were still teenagers.
Throughout that time, the boy kept staring at them, making Wylynn feel a little uncomfortable. Probably because she knew Levi was engaged, she always felt the urge not to be recognized.
As such, when the elevator door opened, Wylynn dashed out, surprising Levi and causing him to freeze in place. A smile suddenly formed on his lips as he stared at her back for a while. Shaking his head, he then soon followed her.
After the two of them exited the elevator, the boy quickly removed the girl's hand from his arms, took out his phone, and dialed a number. Shortly after, the person on the other end of the line answered, and without any introduction, the boy quickly reported, "Yohann, I saw your father with a woman come to the hotel to reserve a room! Is that the woman you told me about? The woman who's gonna be your stepmother?"
For a minute, the boy only heard an eerie silence on the other line before a heavy roar.
"Fuck!" Yohann exclaimed. "Which hotel?" he asked, growling.
Beginning this worldly relationship with Levi was the most deviant decision Wylynn had ever made. She had always followed the rules for the past 27 years, and she never imagined she would have such a relationship with a complete stranger for three months, not talking about feelings but only about their body needs.
Nonetheless, Levi didn't fail Wylynn in giving her the most memorable experience, leading her to believe he learned that skill from screwing a lot of women.
But today, for some unknown reason, her mind was blank.
They were already inside a hotel room, and Levi's hands were around her waist, condescendingly looking down at her.
"Since it's breakup sex, shouldn't you be a little more dedicated? You've always been like this. I can't continue if you keep being absent-minded," he said solemnly.
Wylynn's face flushed instantly. She had never been this nervous with him again after their two encounters. But it was probably Levi's aura that made her feel a little sheepish today.
"Sorry, I'm not in the mood for this today," Wylynn said softly, clutching the sheet. Then she offered, hesitantly, "How about... the other day?"
However, Levi was adamant and firmly stated, "No, I want it today."
After that, he leaned in to kiss her, but Wylynn pushed him away and said, "Wait, wait a minute!"
Luckily, Levi was a patient man, so he stopped and heard her out.
"Do you really not care about my brother and your son's fight?" Wylynn asked, bringing back the earlier topic.
Instead of becoming irritated, Levi remained calm, his tone remaining constant as he repeated his words. "Like I said, let them deal with the problem."
Hearing these words, Wylynn heaved a sigh of relief inwardly.
Seeing that she had finally relaxed, Levi gently pinched her chin and asked solemnly, "Can we continue now?"
"Ok..." Wylynn only uttered as her voice was engulfed in his hungry kiss. For the first time, Levi appeared to have lost his patience, as he did not allow her to speak.
While Wylynn was debating whether or not to do something, someone suddenly knocked on the door loudly, startling both of them.
Soon after, a ferocious roar erupted from behind the closed door. "Dad! Dad!"
Then there was another harsh knock on the door as if the person behind it wanted to smash it open with his knuckles.
"Are you in there? Come out!" the voice rang out again.
The momentum they painstakingly established was easily ruined by that noise.
Realizing that someone outside knew where they were, Wylynn's body quaked terribly. It was the first time she had experienced such a thing. In nervousness, she immediately drew the blanket and wrapped it around herself.
In contrast to her, Levi appeared much calmer as he smoothly rolled over on the bed and got out of it. Then he put on his trousers slowly, buttoned his polo, picked up Wylynn's clothes on the floor, and threw them back at her. "Put them on," he gently instructed.
Upon ensuring Wylynn had already picked up her clothes and was out of sight, Levi only walked to the door to open it. After doing so, Yohann's figure welcomed his gaze. The kid still had band-aids on his forehead and chin, but he didn't seem to mind it as his emotions got the best of him. His flaming red eyes cast a dagger-like glare, and his face was etched with indignation. As only a 13 years old boy, his height couldn't be compared with his father's, but his stubbornness surpassed the latter.
Levi saw his son's expression and the invincible question marks on Yohann's head, but he shot a question first before the latter did. "What are you doing here?" he asked, without any trace of emotion.
Levi was a strict father to Yohann, so the latter had always feared him. Thus, in such a face-to-face confrontation, the kid's aura was overshadowed by his father's, but his stubbornness still didn't waver, and he even attempted to walk past his father.
However, Levi quickly acted. He put pressure on the door to prevent the kid from entering and growled with a hint of warning, "Yohann."
Yohann's body froze as soon as he heard his father's voice. But, clutching his hands tightly, he looked at Levi and exclaimed, "I don't agree with your remarriage!"
"Whether I remarry or not, that's my business," Levi coldly replied.
Feeling extremely aggrieved, Yohann went on arguing with his father. "But I'm your son. You must get my consent before remarrying!" he grumbled, glowering.
After gathering his courage, he soon boldly added, "I don't like that woman."
"Then who do you like?" Levi asked, challenging his son.
Yohann opened his mouth but couldn't get himself to utter anything. Of course, he disliked everyone.
Seeing his son's gaping mouth, Levi wasted no time and abruptly ended the topic, saying, "Since your injury is not that serious, don't hide in the hospital any longer and go home tonight."
But Yohann, as an obstinate child, raised his voice again, yelling, "I'm not going back!"
Levi seemed to have reached his limit and snapped, "Then never go home!"
After that, he slammed the door shut.
At that time, Wylynn had already dressed and was hiding in a corner for fear of being seen.
She was at a loss for words at that moment, as it was her first time being nearly caught doing that obscene activity with Levi, not just by a random person, but by Levi's son!
Nonetheless, Levi's behavior bothered her the most. After witnessing the scene, her impression of him deteriorated even further!
Seeing the man coming back, Wylynn straightened up and couldn't help but tell him off, "Mr. Zacharias, he's already 13 years old, and he can already understand a lot of things. As a father, you should give him a good set of examples, but what you did earlier will surely leave a scar in him instead of good morals."
She had heard the entire conversation between the father and son just now, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for Yohann and vexed with Levi. He already had a fiancée, but he was still into such nasty things, and he was also so impatient with his child.
Levi heard every word Wylynn had said, but his expression remained unchanged. He walked over to the bed, took up the cigarette box on the bedside table, drew a stick from it, and lit it.
"He's my son. Whatever I want to do with him is up to me," he said, his face expressionless and cold.
After a brief pause, a smirk suddenly flashed on his face. He looked at Wylynn and added, "You have so many opinions about this matter. Why? You want to take care of him?"
The chaffing tone in Levi's voice didn't escape Wylynn's ear. For no apparent reason, she suddenly felt like choking. But then she pursed her lips and countered, "I'm just worried that if you don't educate your child well, he'll come to trouble my brother again."
In an instant, Levi fell silent.
Upon assessing the mood, Wylynn picked up her phone that had fallen on the bed and said, "I think you're no longer interested in continuing this. So, our relationship officially ended now."
After gathering all her belongings and fixing herself up, she directly left the room without looking back.
Levi, who was about to be left, stared intently at her disappearing back.
Shortly after Wylynn had left, his phone suddenly rang. He sluggishly picked it up, and the person on the other end of the line asked, "Mr. Zacharias, what time will you come to the company tomorrow?"
Just a few months ago, Wylynn joined CompanyMeta, the largest design firm in Bellona City specializing in large-scale tooling projects, and just earlier, she learned that there would be a new boss. Since it was said that a new broom sweeps clean, enthusiasm suddenly surged into Wylynn's body. But she was also worried that the new boss would extinguish an inconspicuous little fire like her first in order to stand out.
CompanyMeta occupied the entire flat floor on the 16th floor of the No. 81 Building. As a result, Wylynn had to take an elevator, which would take a long time due to the company's floor number. Luckily, she successfully timed in before 9:30 am.
As it was still early, only a few of her colleagues were present in the design department, and upon walking in, a woman standing in front of her desk, seemingly waiting for her, welcomed her.
Wylynn put her bag down first before looking at her and asking, "Is there something wrong?"
With a bitchy aura, Litzy Sacher folded her arms across her chest and sharply said, "Since you and Neo have already broken up, don't make excuses to tangle him any longer."
Upon hearing the warning tone in the latter's voice, Wylynn said ridiculously, "Litzy, you're the third party involved in my relationship. What right do you have to say that to me?"
Due to the unexpected attack, Litzy's expression faltered, but she still managed to declare, "I don't care what happened to you two in the past. All I need you to remember is that I'm Neo's girlfriend now!"
Shortly after, she remembered something and added, "Anyway, he mentioned he'll go to your family house this weekend; why?"
Litzy learning about it didn't bring any shock to Wylynn. Cooly, she goaded, "Why don't you ask him?"
Wylynn was not easily piqued, but her short interaction with Litzy pushed her to the limit.
While Litzy was frowning in annoyance, Wylynn even showed her a smile and said, "Litzy, Neo is not only my ex-boyfriend but also my stepmother's nephew. Strictly speaking, he is a relative of our family. Do you really think he's no longer allowed to meet his relatives after you two get together?"
She then snorted as her brow shot upward and scoffed, "Are you that afraid of losing him? Then why should you get a rope and tie him up? That way, you two will be together 24 hours!"
"You..." Litzy uttered only in her rage.
Wylynn and Litzy went on with their war of words when they suddenly heard two coughs, and Naia Wagener called Wylynn out.
Only then did their catfight come to an end. They turned around only to see several people standing at the door. Aside from their colleagues from the design department, Vice President Hachtel was also there, along with a striking man. The latter stood there in a neat suit and had his mouth shut. Whether in appearance or his temperament, he was clearly superior to others, making him stand out from the crowd.
As soon as Wylynn met the man's gaze, her body froze in place, and her mind went blank.
Just then, Vice President Hachtel introduced the man. "This is President Zacharias. Starting today, he will lead our company."
However, the Vice President's loud, clear voice did not help her break out of her trance.
There were a few steps between them, but Levi's enticing aura had reached her.
Finally, Wylynn woke up when the new boss spoke. "Is that the professional quality that the staff in the design department have, Vice President Hachtel? Discussing private matters during work hours? Their voices were even so loud that everyone on this floor could clearly hear them. I don't see any team cohesion here."
"Mr. Zacharias..." Vice President Hachtel attempted to explain, but Levi didn't wait for him and directly headed toward the President's office.
Vice President Hachtel quickly followed him, still trying to explain as they strode away.
Litzy was embarrassed as the new boss had witnessed her squabble on his first day. It would undoubtedly make a negative impression on her.
She scowled at Wylynn and spat, "Are you satisfied now?"
Wylynn hadn't yet responded, but Litzy had already turned her back and walked away.
Employees in the department looked at Wylynn with sympathy for a few moments before the crowd dispersed. Naia approached Wylynn and whispered, "Is she picking on you again?"
Looking at Litzy's disappearing back, Wylynn pursed her lips, clenched her fists tightly, and sharply uttered, "She's sick."
As the new CEO of the CompanyMeta, Levi held several meetings one after another on his first in the company. Knowing this and witnessing the scene earlier, employees knew that the new boss was strict. Hence, they did not dare to relax even a bit. But the most frightened among them all was Wylynn.
Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine the man who had been in her bed the day before would be her new boss today.
Wylynn was at the meeting at that moment, but her mind was elsewhere, wondering, 'Have I offended Levi in the last three months? It's very impossible that it's all because of what happened yesterday, isn't it?'
Her thoughts were racing throughout the meeting, and they didn't pause until the meeting ended at 3:30 pm. Only then did Wylynn breathe a sigh of relief.
In her cubicle, her thoughts again wander, rendering her unfocused and only relying on her habitual instinct for a long time. Realizing this, she grabbed a cup and went to the pantry to make coffee hoping it would help her wake up.
Unexpectedly, when Wylynn walked into the room, she saw the man standing in front of the coffee machine, his back facing her.
Hearing some footsteps, Levi turned his head and looked at her.
Wylynn's slack nerves tightened instantly, and she stuttered, "Bo... boss!"
