It Started With The Hickeys Chapter 8 Tempted
Gauging that she has been the center of everyone's interest, Skye did not dare look at anyone. Even to Xander Wright. But a powerful magnet seems to be pulling her to look his way.And their eyes meet. His gaze is too calm, it's making her more anxious. Something in that deep-set eyes is making her uneasy. It's like an inevitable fiasco is about to happen. While drowned in his hazel orbs, she has been praying someone would intercede in his plan. Hoping he has more important people to be with rather than be with her. "Skye would be glad to orient you about H&M, CEO Wright. It would be our honor"To her aghast, Harry indulges the man. If she has been holding her breath, she was not mindful of it but she was aware she gasps. She has no way out. Dina, with a gauging eye, stares at her. She took notice of her peculiar behavior but choose not to point it out. She just assumed Skye is intimidated and maybe overwhelmed by the responsibility on her shoulder right now. Being with the most in

"Pardon us, Miss Monticello but you're going directly to CEO Wright's suite" The man is polite but his words immensely made her uneasy. It never occurred to her that Xander will do such a thing to ensure her complaisance. Had he read her mind?Just earlier, she was ready to change her mind. But with the two men Xander sent, she doesn't think she can even take a step away from the elevator. Keeping her silence, she watches the floor indicator as it ascends its way up. Up to the penthouse. Until they reached the topmost floor, she hasn't thought of anything to solve her predicament. The door opens and the two men step aside while holding the door for her. "This way, Miss Monticello" One of them gestures for her to step outside but she remains unmoving. Her eyes are on the empty hallway ahead. How long has she been standing in the middle of the elevator, she hasn't kept track of time. But the two men remain on their spot, patiently waiting for her to come out. And looking at their

"Who?" With narrowed eyes, he fixed his serious gaze on her. His intimidation is making her nervous. "I hate to be compared, particularly with any man" he continued after getting no response from her. His hand which has been caressing her earlier is now gripping her jaw. And though it's not painful, it's somehow disconcerting."I don't care about your previous partners. But I forbid you to even mention another man while in my bed" he snickers while making a point by tightening his hold on her chin. "You understand, Miss Monticello?" Gritting his teeth, he slightly shakes her.If not for the relief that washed over her upon knowing he inferred differently, she would be disgruntled by his anger. But she was so relieved by the misunderstanding that she doesn't mind the dangerous sharpness in the way he glares at her. "Yes, I understand, CEO Wright" She tries to placate him. It's the least she could do. "Don't be riled, the night is too gorgeous to ruin" Caressing the hand holding he

He is waiting for her to speak but all she did is stare at him, unable to say something. "About you getting pregnant and blackmailing me. Sorry, I dozed off" he yawns after his brief reminder while she watches in silence. "Don't worry, you won't have a chance to blackmail me" He seriously added in a dismissing tone. And a warning at the same time."Sleep. You only have a few hours before the sun rises. Your team will be expecting you at the luncheon meeting later" Tucking her under his chin, he tightens his hold on her. Hugging her closer like it's the most natural thing between them. Surreal, that is how she feels while in his arms. The natural scent of his skin mixed with the soap he used calms not only her nerves but her troubled mind. It's been an eventful day, she needs to sleep.She snoozed for a few hours but before the sun rises she woke up. It's her body clock waking her at five-thirty in the morning. It's Nico's toilet time. However, this time she's with his father. Turn

She went out, already in an elegant attire paired with her calm disposition. "Ready?" He calls out from the receiving area upon spotting her come out of the room. She walks toward him to find him with documents and an open MacBook. He has been working while she sleeps naked until midday. She was quite embarrassed but he seem to not mind. Seeing him in broad daylight and in work mode gives out a striking vibe. An intimidating one. A glimpse of how serious CEO Xander Wright is with work. However, the imprints on his neck are unsuitable for his imposing aura. Thinking about her carelessness added to the embarrassment she had already been enduring. He can't go out with those marks. And hasn't he noticed it yet? Why is he not confronting her until now?"Let's eat. It's almost lunchtime" he added after walking closer to her. His casualness is placating amid her qualms.Quietly, she let him lead her to the dining table. She, too is famished. Reaching the dining, a meticulously arranged

After leaving the penthouse, she didn't let any Wright personnel accompany her. Their job ended the moment she steps outside of the suite room. And despite their persistence, she won the argument. Instead of joining Harry and the team at the luncheon gathering, she went to her room. She longs to talk to her son. Spent several minutes, close to an hour listening to his rants for not having been able to say good morning to him earlier. Hearing her son so riled made her feel guilty rather than irritated. So she took her time to listen to him, unbothered by the passing of time. It was almost one o'clock when she enters the venue. She looks around to find her team and spotted them with a group of familiar faces she met last night. The gathering is a casual get-together. Most of the guests are just lounging while chatting. "Hello, Skye. You look great. Nice hair" Dina was the first to greet her and her eyes stayed on her demurely made-up hair. "Good for you, you had time to visit a salo

"This way, please" The moment H&M Creative Ads's team arrived at the door of the private function hall, a waiter immediately ushered them to a certain table. "I'm so glad your team could join me tonight, CEO Miller" Director Amergusso welcomes them with a polite smile."The honor is ours, Director Amergusso" Harry receives the woman's hand for a firm handshake. Skype and the rest followed. The intimate dinner commences and while several pairs of eyes watch the particular table of WGC executives with their guests, another commotion happened at the entrance."Ladies and gentlemen, we are glad to announce that we have been honored by the presence of our hardworking CEO tonight" Director Amergussso gracefully stands from her seat to make the announcement.

But the man seems to have not heard her or he just refuses to respond. "What did you say again?" She insists."You can address whatever queries you have to the CEO, Miss Monticello. We are not allowed to speak on his behalf" politely, he smiles as he bows at her. With nothing she could do to force him to speak, she decided to let him off the hook.But there's no way she would do what he suggested. She doesn't have the courage to ask Xander.
