Chapter 20 Woman, Are You Scared of Me?

• "If there is none, it means Jacquin Group's management is a mess. It is important to have a good understanding of the client before preparing a proposal, so the secretary will usually compile a document about the client and email it to the president. Then, the president will screen the document carefully before sending it to the planning department."
• After hearing her explanation, Damien could not deny that she was a professional.
• Once he finished evaluating her in his mind, he bent over her. From behind, it looked as if Damien was hugging Roxana.
• "Keep your distance from me." Roxana pushed at him, but he held her still.
• "Do you wish to go home or not?" Damien's words instantly silenced Roxana.
• He clicked on the mouse a few times and typed on the keyboard to open an email.
• The email contained a well-compiled document. Roxana easily found what she needed.
• She urgently wanted to go home and reached for the mouse. However, Damien was still using it.
• The touch felt like an electric shock and hot as molten steel. She immediately withdrew her hand.
• Damien furrowed his brow. "Woman, are you scared of me?"
• "Don't you have face blindness?" Roxana did not answer his question but changed the topic.
• As soon as she finished speaking, she felt his finger tilting her chin, forcing her to look up. She detested this position. It allowed him to keep looking down at her like a tyrant.
• "Wynter." Their eyes met, allowing Damien to observe her eyes closely.
• "Do you like older women?" Roxana said through gritted teeth.
• "I remember your face, but it doesn't mean I like you." Damien deliberately pressed harder to make her stop clenching her teeth.
• Roxana gasped in pain and glared at him viciously. "I need to read the document and prepare a proposal. If you wish to flirt, find Lucy instead."
• Damien's expression turned sullen the instant she mentioned Lucy.
• Then, he let her go and gently knocked his knuckles on the table. "I want to see the proposal in an hour."
• After saying that, he went into another room.
• He needed space to clear his mind because her eyes kept giving him a false sense that she was Roxana.
• He knew she was Wynter.
• Thus, the similarity of their eyes and surname was only a coincidence.
• The sense of oppression disappeared as soon as Damien left. Roxana gathered her attention and opened the document to read it.
• The document concerned the business planning department's initial plan concerning jade.
• Memories flooded her mind as soon as she saw the word 'jade'.
• Jade. The Pace family was once the key player in the jade business.
• Suddenly, she heard a boyish voice. "Mommy."
• It was followed by a few knocks on the door.
• Roxana panicked. That's Eidan's voice. He's here!
• She glanced at the door to the room that Damien had gone in. I can't let him see Eidan.
• Thus, she got up and decided to escape while he was not around.
• "Where are you going?" Damien came out of the room and grabbed her wrist.
• Roxana's expression sank. What the heck? Why do the things I fear always come true?
• "Let me go. I'm concerned about my child." Roxana wrenched her hand from him.
• "Ms. Lynd messaged me that your child has reached home."
• Roxana was stunned. How is that possible? I heard Eidan's voice just now.
• "I will write the proposal at home. I promise to hand it to you tomorrow." She wrenched her wrist from him.
• However, she walked too hurriedly in her high heels and lost her balance as she was about to reach the door.
• She found herself falling backward, but instead of landing on the cold and hard floor, she fell onto something soft and warm.
• "You…" Roxana was too stunned to speak.
• It turned out Damien had grabbed her waist and pulled her into his embrace. She had lost count of the number of times she found herself in his embrace tonight. This time, she was even lying on his body.
• "You are only allowed to leave after you complete the proposal." Damien released her waist so Roxana did not waste any time getting up.
• Unfortunately, she bent her knees while trying to get up and accidentally touched something she should not have.
• It was a body part that identified him as male.
• Roxana's face flushed, and she felt unbearably awkward. Why did I touch that area?
