Flash Marriage: A Wife For A Stranger

58



Zoe was stunned for a moment, but finally she came back to her senses.

She could not believe she could not resist the temptation of this man and have such a kiss with him, even in such a provocative and dangerous position!

She let out a cry in alarm and tried to get up.

But the chair Henry had been sitting was close enough to his desk.

She jumped to her feet and her waist bumped into the corner of the desk. She cried in pain and fell back to his arms.

Henry’s face also changed drastically.

He caught her and hurriedly reached over to rub her waist that just got hit.

“Why you are so careless? It must hurt so much! Let me take a look!”

His palm then rested on her waist with a thin layer of fabric between them, and she could feel the scorching heat from his palm. In an instant, her body stiffened.

She then held the hand he had reached over to check her waist, and she shook her head.

Tears had welled up in her already misty eyes, but she insisted in pain, “I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt at all.”

Henry knitted his arrow-shaped eyebrows.

He did not say any more words. Instead, he just sullenly held her up in his arms and walked towards the bedroom.

She was frightened. She struggled but to no avail, and then she grabbed him by his clothes and blurted, “What are you doing, Henry? Put me down!”

The servants in the villa were all watching them downstairs!

But Henry ignored her, passed through the corridor in the eyes of the servants and walked back to their bedroom.

The moment she was placed on the bed, she jumped to her feet again.

Henry did not force her though. He cast a cold glance at her and turned over to take a tube of cream from a drawer.

“Lift your clothes up!”

He said coldly.

But she just held the hem of her clothes, her face like two ripe tomatoes. She kept her eyes down and did not even dare to look at him.

“I’ll do it myself.”

She said, and reached over for the tube.

Then she heard his giggles. He avoided her hand, and lifted her clothes before she could realize what happened.

“AHHH! What are you doing!”

She screamed but immediately her hands were caught by the man and lifted up above her head. Her entire body was flipped around by the man on the bed and her tender legs were also locked by his knees.

Her voice of resistance was dull in the pillow and became more like just whimpering.

His expression was cold when he saw the red marks on her otherwise snow white skin.

It was just two minutes, and the bruises were already forming.

Expressionless, he open the cap of the tube single-handedly, squeezed some cream to his hand and then pressed his hand on her wound.

“Ouch … Ouch…”

He could hear her indistinct screams.

Then he scold in a cold voice, “So it hurts after all! When are you being so careless then? Just how old are you? Didn’t you see the desk?”

She felt so aggrieved.

It was he who took advantage of her and kissed her. And after she was injured, he even scolded her!

Since she didn’t answer him, he said again, “Cat got your tongue?”

She then turned her head to the side and yelled angrily, “I don’t want to talk to you anymore!”

Her red face and teary eyes made her look like a fiery lion cub whose fangs were pulled off.

Henry could not help but laugh.

His somewhat coarse fingers felt her tender

skin. It was as smooth as silk, or as milk, and he felt reluctant to put away his hand.

And his breath turned somewhat heavy.

Deep down in his body, the heat that had just been suppressed not long ago seemed to be rising again.

She also realized something gradually. She could feel the ambiguity and danger pulsing from his fingers and she was immediately in a panic.

She said hurriedly, “Are you done? Let go of me!”

This time, Henry did not insist.

After all, he was not sure what would happen if they continued like this.

After he left the bed, Zoe also got up to her feet and tidied up her clothes.

Henry then turned around and walked to the

bathroom.

And he came out after a long time.

Zoe had a vague idea what he was doing inside and her face blushed even more.

She could not help but think, the longer she stayed with this man, the more dangerous the situation would be.

But to some extent, it also proved what a gentleman he had been.

He did not break the promise he made before their marriage.

He just would not touch her without her consent.

Come to think of it, she could not help curling her lips.

Henry then walked out and poured two glassed of water for both of them. He stared at her with a serious face.

“I can allow Star Entertainment to join Annie International. But I have got conditions.”

“What kind of conditions?”

“I want you to join Annie International and lead the Public Relations Department.”

Zoe was stunned.

She did not expect he would make such a request.

Henry then explained, “Annie International is rising very quickly, but being quick has its drawbacks. We have a lot of resources but since we are developing quickly, we don’t have enough talents for our departments, especially the Public Relations department. So I hope you can come over and help me build an efficient PR team.”

Zoe was stunned.

As for the weak points of the Public Relations

department of Annie International, she already had a vague idea when she was dealing with the case of Stephen Rogers.

If they really had a capable PR team, such a case would not take half a month, since it was not something complicated.

Finally, they came to her for help.

But knowing it was one thing, hearing what Henry told her today was another thing.

Actually, she had some worries.

First, she still had to take care of Star Entertainment. She might not have enough time if she also joined Annie International.

Second, if she really became the head of the Public Relations department of Annie International, she would be a subordinate of Archie.

Among other reasons, she just didn’t quite like being a subordinate of Archie.

Just as she hesitated, Henry added suddenly, “If you are willing to join my company, I can let you to choose the resources of Annie International before anyone else.”

“Really?”

“Of course.”

“OK, deal!”

There was a huge difference between sharing resources as a subsidiary company and holding a priority in the use of resources.

Being a subsidiary company meant you got the leftovers not wanted by others while the latter allowed you to pick from the same pot!

For Star Entertainment, it just gave the company a ride upwards, and it was even a VIP seat.

Zoe could not hold back the pleasure in her heart.

Even if it meant she would have to work in the same company with this man, she would just have to face it!

Seeing the happy face of the woman, Henry curled his lips.

“So you just sold yourself like that? You don’t need to think twice?”

Zoe blinked her eyes.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Her delicate and serious eyes was fixed on him, “So will you bully me?”

Henry was stunned.

‘So this girl also knows how to make fun of me now!’

Seeing that he made no answer, Zoe put on a smile and took two steps backwards and waved her hand at him.

“Chairman, then this is a deal. We can talk

about our contract tomorrow. You cannot regret it! I’ll be taking a shower now.”

At that, she sprinted into the bathroom with her clothes.

Watching her back disappear into the bathroom, Henry broke into chuckles.
