Chapter 699: Chapter 363: Extra Story: Falling for Him 1_2

"Hmm, just a little problem... I need to take a closer look..." He leaned lower, almost touching the back of her head, deliberately reaching over her shoulder to pick up the pen on the table.

Christine Quinn wanted to avoid this intimate gesture, but his other hand was propped on the table beside her, almost surrounding her completely. She didn’t even know when she fell into this dilemma.

Skyler Jones bent down slightly, inhaling the fragrance of her hair.

It was a subtle scent unique to her body, like a blend of fresh lilies and orchids, indescribably elegant, which he really liked.

"What brand of perfume do you use?" Skyler Jones’s lazy voice stirred Christine Quinn’s heartstrings.

"I... I don’t have the habit of using perfume." Christine Quinn clutched the table tightly, her palms sweating from nervousness. Her heart raced uncontrollably, his deep, alluring voice was right by her ear, and that dangerous yet alluring male aura was overwhelming her.

"No, you do, you have a nice scent on you..." Skyler Jones paused, "I really like it... So, what do we do?"

What do we do?

Wasn’t he flirting with her?

Though she wasn’t very old, her mature mind was well aware of matters between men and women, especially since she had been exposed to society early and learned to defend against harassment. Yet at this moment, as he approached, besides panic and infatuation, she felt a bit helpless.

"What should we do, Secretary Quinn..." Skyler Jones leaned closer, whispering in her ear.

He had to admit, she had the ability to stir a man’s desires.

"You..." Christine Quinn’s cheeks flushed red, utterly at a loss. How could he flirt with her like this? "Do you think this is fun?"

Christine Quinn turned her head, angrily wanting to get up, but Skyler Jones’s hands showed no intention of letting her go.

"The matter’s not yet over..." He pointed to the quote sheet in his hand, eyes glinting mischievously.

"Sorry, review it yourself, I’m going home!" Good intentions go unrewarded, you pervert!

Christine Quinn was about to get up, unexpectedly grabbed by Skyler Jones――

"Ah!" She screamed.

"I wasn’t referring to that..." Skyler Jones’s eyes, filled with confidence, looked at her. The training had just begun...

"You..."

Catching the impure implication in his words, Christine Quinn suddenly lifted her gaze, but was kissed by him, her gasp swallowed as he leaned in――

As his warm lips pressed against hers, Christine Quinn’s mind went blank.

Oh my gosh...

He... He actually kissed her, and... he didn’t seem to be joking.

Christine Quinn lay in bed at home, unable to believe what had just happened.

She had always been a competent secretary, never getting involved in office romances. But... his kissing skills were so superb, in that instant, it felt like the world was spinning, leaving her unable to resist or reject.

But maybe... it was just involuntary!

Because when Skyler Jones’s lips left her, she suddenly glimpsed that cold smile in his eyes.

She would always remember his smiling black eyes, watching her in the darkness, as if she were prey at his mercy, the smug and confident smile at his lips, making her heart tremble.

Only now did she realize he was a dangerous man she couldn’t afford to take lightly...

Christine Quinn shook her head.

Never mind who he really was, the problem now was how to face him tomorrow. Could she pretend nothing had happened and go to work as usual? With her lack of experience, could she manage that?

The answer was obvious, she couldn’t.

A sleepless night, and Christine Quinn started behaving erratically the moment she stepped into the office, printing a hundred copies of materials meant for a ten-person meeting at the copier, standing there dazed and oblivious.

All morning, she worried about what she should do when she saw Skyler Jones later.

"Morning, CEO!"

At that moment, she heard employees greeting him from the other end of the corridor.

Christine Quinn felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

What should I do?

She stood at the end of the corridor, inevitably having to meet him...

Trying to calm down, Christine Quinn picked up a stack of documents and quickly walked down the corridor, hoping to find a place to hide, but she hadn’t gone halfway when she saw his figure rounding the corner, it was inevitable they’d meet...

Christine Quinn stiffened her nerves, kept her head down, and forced herself to walk past him with the documents, trying to pass by quickly.

Didn’t see, didn’t see, didn’t see...

She kept praying in her heart.

As they brushed past each other, Christine Quinn, out of respect for her boss, forced a smile and greeted him, "Morning, CEO."

Christine Quinn knew that the kiss last night meant nothing to Skyler Jones, but his reaction was still beyond her expectation.

He nodded at her, then walked past her as usual, expressionless, without even sparing her a glance.

Christine Quinn’s nervous steps halted slightly, a chill spreading from her feet throughout her body.

This man’s heartlessness far exceeded her imagination...

"Secretary Quinn." He suddenly stopped and called out to her.

"Ah?" Christine Quinn, deep in thought, turned abruptly, meeting his gaze. To avoid awkwardness, she could only force a smile to cover it up.

"I’m having lunch with Nita today, so you don’t need to schedule anything this afternoon. We’ll discuss business when I return." Skyler Jones looked at her with no hint of emotion, his indifferent instructions seemingly meant to convey something.

The smile froze at the corners of her lips, and Christine Quinn nodded.

"Oh, right, I’m going to Germany with Linda next week, but it seems there’s a project to follow up on. Let the vice president handle it, try to clear my schedule for next week." Skyler Jones said in a formal tone, acting like last night’s events never happened.

Nita one moment, Linda the next... he sure has a lot of girlfriends.

Christine Quinn maintained her smile, replying, "I understand." Then she turned and walked back to her office.

This is too much. He didn’t need to do this; she could still understand his intent.

She knew he was just playing around, and she also knew that a kiss doesn’t mean much in today’s dating scene. She hadn’t thought too much of it, but he didn’t need to kiss her last night and then state he’s dining with other women in the morning. He was clearly mocking her naivety while taking pride in his flirting skills.
