She closed her eyes as he held her waist, urging her to start moving. His touch was firm and gentle, something that she liked.

Sera complied.

Slowly, her hips moved up and down, following a familiar rhythmic pattern that quickly sent her over the edge.

Seconds.

It only took her seconds to reach the climax that her body longed for. She heard the hunger in his voice that certainly matched her own. Then she felt him raise his hips, thrusting against her undulating hips.

He peppered kisses from her neck to her full breast as she arched her back, giving him access to her chest. The sensation of him inside her forced her to let go of control and get lost in the moment.

It didn't take too long for them to move in rhythms. Then the muscles inside her stomach tightened, the spasms in her core started. Her release — the very thing that she wanted the most — exploded just as he pumped faster and harder until his own release pulsed through him.

Spent, he pulled out before collapsing next to her.

"We need a shower," he said while catching his breath.

"We're not going in there together."

He chuckled and lift her up like a princess. "Yes, we do."

"I'm tired." And sore and numb… but damn, she still wanted more!

"A soak in the tub is always nice." He said as he left the room and walked towards the master's bedroom. "But having someone else in the tub is twice as nice."

"Pervert." She thought of getting in on it in a confined space, then shook her head. She was flexible, but she was damn tired! She wanted to sleep.

"What are you thinking? I was talking about washing each other. Since you are already tired… then you can just let me wash you. Isn't that twice as nice?"

She playfully slapped his arm, an action that earned a chuckle from him. She wasn't expecting him to follow his words. After all, they were acting like horny teenagers for the past twenty-four hours.

To her surprise, Chris didn't do something explicit inside the tub. Of course, he made sure to assure her that this was only because she already said she was tired. He is not going to force her into doing something she doesn't like.

After a quick bath, the two changed into comfortable pajamas and sleep.

Sera woke up from the loud ringtone that Xu Je'er set up for herself. She insisted she should have a special ring tone so Sera would know that she was calling her.

"What?" she hissed.

"You're still sleeping?"

"It's early!"

"It's already two in the afternoon!"

"Oh… I'm exhausted," she grunted, and eyed the vacant space next to her.

"Sera tell me… I want you to be honest with me."

Sera's eyes flew open. The sleepiness in her head vanished as she sat up in a jolt. "What's wrong?"

"Did you offend some drug boss or mafia leader lately?"

"What? What are you talking about?" Was it Cross? Did something happen? Almost immediately, her mind started wandering.

"Some people are asking about your whereabouts! They claimed they are your family and wanted to know where you are! Sera… please be honest. Did you hurt someone rich and famous? I don't remember you saying you have a family. What is going on?"

Zhang Xin.

"What did you say?"

"They didn't ask me," Xu Je'er said. "But they asked your teammates, a good thing I already told them that you are on leave because you were looking for a new place to live."

"Alright… I will handle it."

"Don't you dare end the call!"

Sera almost let go of the phone when Xu Je'er suddenly screamed at her. "What is wrong with you?" Sera asked.

"Do you know Mr. Quinn?"

"Huh?"

Xu Je'er cleared her throat. "Yesterday, we talked about investments, and today, they just signed a contract with the company? They invested millions! I want to know what is going on here!"

"I helped him in the current scandal."

"The one with Miss Ting?"

"Yes, I found out who did it."

"Oh? Interesting!" When she stopped asking her questions, Sera heaved a sigh of relief. She was actually telling the truth, right? She helped him with the scandal and he invested in her company. "Anyway, check your emails and send me the files that I wanted. Also… remember Mr. Feng?"

"Feng… Feng Xiaotan from double dragon?"

"Yes. He wanted to see you — You know what? Now that I thought about it, I am actually acting as your secretary!"

"Why did he want to see me?"

"No idea. Probably want you to work for his company. You are an expert in Cyber Security, you could help his team."

"What did you tell him?" she asked just as Chris walk inside the room.

"Nothing. I don't even know where you are. He asked for your number but I thought nah, he was a jerk back then. So I gave him a fake one."

This made Sera laughed. Her eyes were already on Chris, who was smiling as he sat on the bed.

"Listen, just send me everything that I needed to do. I have to go now."

"Why? I thought you're still in bed? Hey?— "

Sera just ended the call and asked the man who was lying on the other side of the bed. He turned his body towards her. "You were right. It's her."

"I told you. Spreading the scandal was of her own accord. That's why she issued a statement even before you and her manager asked her. She wanted to gain everyone's sympathy."

"We actually have no proof that she told her assistant to pay that person but she tried to kill herself this morning."

"Tried?" So, she didn't die? Wait… why does her thoughts sound so evil?

"She begged her assistant to call my secretary, hoping that I would come to see her. When Lan Xing told the assistant that I am not in Pane City, she accepted interviews on her own without the approval of her secretary."

"So, she is creating a ruckus." But why? Was it just to attract Mr. Quinn's attention?
