Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

“Of course, I do.” Hannah didn’t hesitate before confirming, “This necklace, actually, harbors a little secret…”

“Oh, what secret?” Aidan Lucas tried hard to hide the glimmer in the depths of his eyes.

“That is…” Hannah began, then abruptly stopped.

She cocked her head will a playful smile, lifting her wine glass, “Oh, you’re not just here to chat. Come, let’s clink glasses, cheers!”

The two wine glasses gently made contact. Hannah took the initiative, tilting her head back to drink her own glass of red wine.

Next, she put down her wine glass.

Calm and collected, she stared at Aidan Lucas, waiting for him to drink his.

“Ethan, why aren’t you drinking?” She puckered her lips deliberately, speaking in a coy tone, “I already drank, if you’re not going to drink… If you keep this up, I’m going to leave, and I won’t tell you my little secret!”

When she was done speaking, she even made a movement to get up.

“Wait.” Aidan Lucas reached out, grabbing Hannah’s wrist.

His dark, deep-set eyes trained onto her face.

His voice icy, “Remember what you said, you’ll tell me once you’ve finished your drink.”

Immediately after, Aidan Lucas tilted his head back and in front of Hannah, downed the remaining half-glass of wine.

Watching the man tilt back his head, exposing a well-defined jawline and alluring Adam’s apple, Hannah couldn’t help but swallow.

Great…

Soon, this man, would be hers.

Hannah’s gaze slid down along Aidan Lucas’ bobbing Adam’s apple, imagining how strong and fit he would be once his black suit came off.

OH, she could hardly wait!

…

“Clank,” Aidan Lucas set his empty wine glass down heavily onto the glass table.

“Alright, you can now tell me what exactly is the secret of this necklace.”

As he spoke, Aidan Lucas’ gaze was that of a panther tracking its prey.

His cool, deep black eyes were fixed onto Hannah’s face.

As if he would see right through her, or easily pick up on every minute detail in her facial expressions.

Hannah’s heart was pounding like a drum.

She was even more nervous now than she was before.

The drug… the drug…

Why hasn’t the drug taken effect yet!

Seeing Hannah’s nervous demeanor and her inability to form a single sentence, the man narrowed his eyes.

In his voice was suspicion and coldness, “Hannah Ford, you better not tell me… you don’t actually know the secret of this necklace.”

“Ah, how could… I really do know. I, I was just…” Hannah was so anxious, cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Of course, she had no idea what the secret of the necklace was.

She didn’t even know if the necklace harbored any secret at all.

She had blurted it out earlier for fear that Aidan Lucas would depart.

A secret…. what kind of secret could she formulate to deceive Aidan Lucas?

Watching Hannah’s eyes darting around nervously, Aidan Lucas’s phoenix eyes suddenly squinted.

The next second-

“Ah… Ethan, what are you doing!?” Hannah felt a sharp pain on the back of her neck.

By the time she pieced it together, the citrine necklace around her neck had been yanked away, falling into Aidan Lucas’s hands.

Hannah took one look and panicked, “Ethan, why did you snatch my necklace?”
