Chris laughed. "It's pretty popular among younger generations."

Does he mean older generations? Once again, she furrowed her brows. "Let me go."

​​

"I won't."

"Please don't do this in front of the food," she uttered. "That's disrespectful."

"Ah… so I can do this without the food?"

She smiled. "Probably?"

"Probably?"

"Yes, probably."

He smiled and leaned his head closer, his forehead soon rested against hers. "Are we still going to fight?"

"Are we fighting?"

"You changed."

"Change…" she lowered her eyes towards his lips. "Is constant." She was really in a good mood today, she didn't want to ruin it by thinking about his secrets. To be honest, she just wants to forget about secrets.

After all, she too had her own dark secrets.

"What are you going to do with the Zhang Family after you go back?"

"I believe, they will destroy their own selves." Yes, this is right. She had planted enough words to trigger Zhang Ying. Soon, she is going to send her more images that would surely blow her mind away.

With these, Zhang Ying's selfish nature would surely kick in. Her fight against the matriarch of the Fu Family would follow. After all, Zhang Ying was not someone that would just let someone else took Edward away from her.

"What are you thinking?" he asked.

"Eating the moon cake."

He looked at her, a little disbelief flashed in his eyes. "I would like to eat some moon cake too."

She jumped out of his arms when she heard his words. For some reason, a part of her knew that he was talking about a different kind of cake.

"I will leave for now," Sera said, an awkward smile appeared on her face as she strode towards her office and made sure to lock the door this time. The fact that she was actually thinking that Chris and Cross are the same people is actually affecting her attraction towards Chris.

She had long liked or maybe even loved Cross. And this fact alone is really making her feel awkward. She couldn't explain it in simple terms. In fact, even she couldn't understand the confusion that she felt right now. She recalled her first meeting with Chris in that bar.

She was already drunk and she immediately felt her flesh tingle around him. And yes, they actually slept together. At that time, she thought it was nothing but a casual hook-up— a first time for her. She never thought that she would meet Mr. Quinn again. Moreover, meeting him opened up a new realm of things that she never expected to happen.

But if she would really think about it, she actually slept with Chris on the first night that they met! If Chris was Cross then…

Ah, how embarrassing.

Her actions were really shameful.

If Chris and Cross were the same people then she couldn't help but wonder about his opinion towards her. Was he perhaps thinking that she was such an easy woman?

Eh, maybe she was an easy woman but damn!

How could she let the person that she liked think that way!?

Wait… since when did she start thinking about other people's opinions about her?

Ugh! This is frustrating!

As expected, mixing business and pleasure can be very hard for someone like her.

Sadly for her, no matter how much she tried to overwork herself that night, sleeping was just impossible. She walked out of the room and went to the master's bedroom. She was really tired and she could feel her feet started to feel the brunt of walking in the streets with those high stilettos.

Yet, she didn't feel sleepy.

After taking a short half bath, she laid next to Chris and stared at the ceiling.

She kept on telling herself not to care about this man's opinion anymore. But she couldn't deny the fact that he is no longer 'other people'. To her, he matters.

His opinion about her matters.

"What are you thinking?"

"Huh?" Sera almost fell out of the bed when she heard his voice. She turned towards him, frowning. "How come you are still awake?"

"It's still early."

"Early?"

"Aha… you weren't working, were you?"

"That— Of course I was working."

"It was still ten in the evening."

"Really?"

"Really." He stared at her, his hand tucked a loose strand of her hair behind her ear.

"Then I will go back and— "

"No need. Just lie down here. Next to me." Before she could do anything, his hand was already around her body. The next thing she knew, her head was already lying in his arms. "Something is bothering you?" He made her face him, his face only a few inches away from her.

"There's a lot of things that bother me."

"You looked tired."

"I am tired." Sadly, she couldn't sleep.

"Why don't you sleep?" A gentle smile appeared on his lips.

"I can't."

"Hmmm?" He lifted an eyebrow as his eyes trailed down towards her lips. "Need my help?"

"What?"

"Relax…" He whispered before his lips claimed hers.

Sera almost shivered with delight when his hand touched the bare skin beneath her shirt. Since she was thinking a lot, she didn't have the time to chose good underwear and just randomly pick something.

She knew it was pink and something else.

What the hell? Why was she thinking about underwear?

She let out a soft moan when he suddenly bit her neck. It was painful, but it caused electrifying sensations- something that she had missed. Before she could even process what was happening to her body, she felt her nipples turned rigid, her stomach twisted. She missed him.

She missed everything about him.

.....

Sorry about the release. My 2nd son's bday is Aug. 15. So Yes, I have 2 august. We are not going to prepare any party because of you know what. However, he is asking for a specific gift and well... Let's just say it's not in the Philippines. Lol. After days of trying to look for it!

I apologize for the inconvenience. Let me take the time to announce that my comic: Her Highness the Mafia Queen is already on webtoon. Please check it out if you have the time.
