Chapter 27 Menstruation
On the big screen in the middle of the Abraham Group’s meeting room, the calmness on Mike’s handsome face froze and was replaced with embarrassment.
The sound effect of the stereo was good enough to spread Scarlett’s voice to all the participants of the meeting.
The meeting room lapsed into an awkward silence. However, Scarlett didn’t intend to stop, as if she thought it was not enough.
“Mike, you’re naughty again! I lie on the bed as you said. But you went to a meeting and left me here alone. Have you finished the meeting?”
Mike frowned, with a trace of impatience.
Noticing the change of Mike’s expression, the senior executives in the meeting room either lowered their heads to sort out the documents, or looked up at the ceiling of the conference room with a serious expression, as if they were studying the complicated patterns on it.
Some were even more exaggerated. They took off their headset and began to examine it.
“Why can’t I hear the sound all of a sudden? What a shoddy device!” one person complained.
In the end, Scarlett successfully disrupted the important meeting of the Abraham Group. Because of her, those executives who were known as elites by the outside world had to pretend to be a fool.
What satisfied her the most was that Mike was riled up.
In the past three days, she tried her best to suppress her anger after she was threatened with a deduction of her salary. Now, she finally found a chance to vent her anger in her ways.
“Okay, let’s call it a day here. The meeting is over,” Mike said as he closed the microphone.
The senior executives were left dumbfounded, guessing the relationship between Mike and the woman.
Actually, this was the first time they saw a woman talking to Mike in that way. They couldn’t help but be curious about the woman’s identity.
Daniel noticed the curious look of the executives. “Who else could it be? Only Scarlett dared to do so!” he muttered, shrugging helplessly.
He didn’t expect that Mike would call a halt to the meeting abruptly and go to flirt with Scarlett. Sitting there in a daze, he wondered how to deal with the aftermath of Mike’s sudden leave.
“Will he be obsessed with Scarlett and be distracted from work since then?” Daniel began to make blind conjectures.
Scarlett was originally lying straight on the bed. When she saw Mike turning off the computer, she rubbed her head and said, “Ah, my headache is coming again!”
“Ha! Isn’t it too late for you to gain sympathy by pretending to be sick? You made me look like a fool in the meeting just now,” Mike muttered to himself.
He then turned around and walked steadily towards Scarlett with a serious look.
Even though Scarlett had turned her head around, she could feel his strong aura.
He walked to the bed but did not say anything. He just gazed at Scarlett. Scarlett wanted to bury her head in the pillow, but was stopped by him. He held her face and made her lean against the soft pillow in a comfortable posture. Scarlett then found herself facing his gaze directly.
His eyes were so sharp that she couldn’t lie there still.
Without waiting for him to speak, she took the initiative to apologize.
“Well, my behavior just now was indeed not good. You can deduct my salary.”
“Do you think a deduction of salary can offset the trouble you caused?” he asked in a husky voice, his long fingers gently sweeping across her delicate face.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
She tensed her muscles and didn’t dare to move.
“Well… You can also deduct some from my salary for next month. Is it okay?” Scarlett asked lightly, pretending to be calm.
Upon hearing that, Mike narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Scarlett.
“Scarlett…” he said with a sigh.
His long fingers slowly moved from her cheeks to her lips.
Her lips looked like a ripe cherry stained with dew, ruddy and attractive.
Mike said in a husky voice, “You must keep your word.”
Scarlett could tell the meaning behind his words, especially when she saw his desire for her in the eyes.
His hand was still on her lips. After looking at each other for a while, Mike felt it was not enough to only touch her lips.
He bent down to kiss her lips gently while moving his hand to the back of her neck.
His breathing mixed with hers.
Scarlett held her breath as she felt his passion behind his long, ragged breathing.
She slightly opened her lips and kissed back.
Gradually, her breathing became a little ragged too. After she managed to regain a little bit of her rationality, she pushed him with her hands.
“If you have something to say, just say it. Why do you kiss me? According to our working agreement, you can’t have physical contact with me as you pleased!” Scarlett said.
She wanted to use a righteous tone to protest the “sexual harassment” from Mike who was her current employer and ex-husband.
However, her expression and the ragged voice betrayed her true feelings. Mike didn’t take her words seriously. Instead, he thought she was flirting with him.
He was overjoyed.
“This is not physical contact. I am just fulfilling what you just said. As a person, you have to keep your word. Since you dare to say it, you have to bear the consequences,” Mike said concisely.
Meanwhile, his hand was already tugging at her pajamas. Her loose nightgown was rudely lifted.
While resisting his strong male charm, she grabbed her nightgown tightly, trying to prevent it from being taken off.
“What have I said?” she asked in a hurry. In fact, she thought she did nothing but play a joke when he was in a meeting.
“You said you were waiting for me, and you wanted me to cook noodles for you.” His slightly rough fingertips slowly rubbed against her arm.
The previous sentence was a joke that she deliberately made, and it was easy to understand.
The last sentence was very normal. She said so because she didn’t like a carry-out.
Besides, she wanted to picture him like a housewife, which was completely different from his once cold and gorgeous image.
She admitted that her motive was impure, but this sentence was normal. She didn’t understand why he thought that she was hinting at something.
Staring at Scarlett’s ignorant expression, Mike sighed at the thought that she was too young to understand his thoughts.
“It has only been two months since we were together again. I should have spent more time with you, and then you would have known me well,” Mike said with a serious look.
Scarlett was dumbfounded.
She couldn’t understand why Mike suddenly said those words to her. She felt strange as if they came from two different dimensions.
However, Mike didn’t give her time to figure out the meaning of his words. He bent over and pressed her on the soft mattress.
The soft mattress sagged as soon as the two lay on it.
“But it doesn’t matter. In the future, I will personally teach you everything and let you know more about me,” Mike said with gentleness in his eyes.
He thought Scarlett was innocent and might be bullied by others easily in the future. But he was confident that he could help her learn the skills of how to protect herself.
Finally, Scarlett understood what Mike misunderstood. She blushed in an instant.
“Y-you are shameless!” she shouted shyly.
However, it was too late.
His sexual desire for her had been stimulated. How could he stop now?
Soon, her nightgown was taken off and thrown on the floor.
His sturdy body, which was comparable to that of a model, was also exposed in front of Scarlett.
Scarlett was so shy that she tried to push him away.
“Mike, you can’t do this! You are my employer. You can’t have sex with me!” Scarlett shouted in a hurry.
“Be good, don’t mess around. I’ll give you an additional two months of salary as a reward!” Mike said as he pressed her on the bed. He thought she had to pay the price after she disturbed his meeting!
Scarlett resisted with all her strength, but suddenly, she stopped.
Mike thought that she had given up, so he lowered his head and kissed her slippery little face.
“Be good, or you will be in pain later,” Mike encouraged her gently.
However, Scarlett just stared at Mike quietly. Her cheeks were red with shyness. This strange and intimate feeling made her forget to push his hand away.
“No, you can’t,” Scarlett refused once again.
“You should know it’s too late. Be good and…” Mike persuaded but stopped halfway.
He stared at the bloodstain on the bedsheet in shock.
Being shy and angry, Scarlett said, “I told you to stop…”
Mike didn’t expect that she was at the time of menstruating.
Scarlett let out a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, she felt remorseful and angry, because once again, she made herself a fool in front of Mike.
