Addiction to Temptation: His Mischievous Sweetheart Captivates Him-Chapter 234: I Want to Be the CP Fan Leader
Seraphina Sutton was slightly dizzy from Natalie Vaughn’s scent. How could someone still have such a faint milky fragrance? It was really so pleasant! Seraphina couldn’t help but take a gentle sniff.
She was so entranced that she didn’t notice Zane Thorne’s cold stare at first.
As Seraphina was about to reach out to hug Natalie Vaughn, Zane suddenly came over and pulled Natalie back to his side.
Seraphina: ...What a pity, she was just a little bit away from hugging that waist... she could wrap her hand around it, sob sob sob!
Seeing his capable assistant being so mesmerized by Natalie Vaughn that even her gaze was unsteady, Zane squinted his eyes in anger.
Great, one is trying to steal his wife, the other his assistant.
Natalie Vaughn gave Zane a playful glance over her shoulder.
"What are you doing?"
Everyone around: wocc! The lady’s voice is so nice too! Soft and sweet, like a little cat, sob sob sob, want to cuddle!
"Stay obediently by my side, don’t get handsy with others."
’Others’ made Seraphina finally snap back to reality, meeting Zane’s displeased gaze, and she was startled. Damn, she lost composure just now. How could she forget, President Thorne is extremely possessive of the lady, extremely possessive—how did she almost get charmed to the point of hugging the lady?
It’s all because of the lady’s charm. No, how could she blame the lady; it’s her lack of self-control to blame.
Seraphina quickly slipped back into work mode.
"Welcome, madam."
Upon hearing this, Natalie Vaughn turned her head to want to say something to Seraphina, only to be pulled straight towards the exclusive president’s elevator by Zane.
Natalie Vaughn: ...
When the elevator doors closed, Natalie Vaughn amusingly looked at the man who was frowning.
"What are you doing? I haven’t even properly greeted Seraphina."
The man coldly snorted.
"You were practically hugging her, and you say you haven’t greeted?"
Natalie Vaughn: ...
"Is that it, Zane, you’re angry because of that? Jealous?"
As she said that, Natalie Vaughn poked the man’s chest with her finger.
Zane furrowed his brows and grabbed Natalie Vaughn’s restless hand.
"What more do you want? Just hugged, and you want to go for a kiss next?"
Natalie Vaughn: ...The things a jealous man says are really outrageous.
"She’s your capable assistant, works for you, what’s there to be jealous about?"
"I pay her for her work."
Implying there’s no need for Natalie Vaughn to go hug.
Natalie Vaughn understood yet didn’t bother to argue with the man, because in front of a jealous man, saying anything was pointless, as he would always have a reason to refute you.
But then...
Natalie Vaughn glanced at the reflective elevator doors, looking at the lipstick mark on Zane’s chin, lost in thought.
Did no one notice Zane’s face just now? Or are his employees so professional that they don’t care about the boss’s private matters, don’t care about the boss’s relationships, and don’t even gossip?
Little did she know, just after they entered the elevator, the company’s chat group exploded.
"wocc! The president’s wife is so beautiful!"
"Wasn’t President Thorne just jealous of Ms. Sutton? That’s why he pulled the lady back! Sob sob sob! Is this the style of an overbearing president? I want to be the head CP fan of the president and the president’s wife! Anyone else with me?"
"Your focus is off! Did you not notice the lipstick mark on President Thorne’s chin?!"
"???!!! What?! Damn! I was too busy looking at the president’s wife, I didn’t even notice! Really?"
"If I’m lying, let my manager catch me for a tough time on the thirteenth floor today!"
"wocc! So did the lady kiss President Thorne on the way to the company?"
"What else? Is Hale in the group? Where’s Hale?"
"Do you think the president’s wife did it on purpose?!"
"To be honest, President Thorne’s chin with a lipstick mark looks less severe and even adds a touch of rakish charm."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
"Hey hey hey! Rather, it adds a touch of handsome, handsome, handsome! I didn’t say anything just now!"
"But does President Thorne really not know? He can spot errors in my report’s graphs at a glance."
"So... you mean President Thorne knows?"
"He knows and still lets the president’s wife do it without wiping off the lipstick mark. Woccc! President Thorne spoils the president’s wife too much? Sob sob sob, never thought one day I’d be fed dog food by President Thorne!"
"President Thorne is declaring sovereignty, next time we get to see the president’s wife we must be super super friendly!"
"..."
The elevator directly reached the top floor, and Natalie Vaughn was still thinking about the lipstick mark on Zane’s face, wondering whether to remind him or let him find out himself.
Zane led Natalie Vaughn out of the elevator, and the others in the office stood straight to welcome them, about to greet them but stopped by Zane’s raised hand.
After entering the office, Natalie Vaughn felt something was off.
"Hey, why is it so quiet upstairs?"
Zane sat Natalie Vaughn on the sofa and pressed the phone button to have someone bring milk.
"What were you thinking about so intently just now?"
Natalie Vaughn glanced at the lipstick mark on Zane’s chin, and she had to admit it added a rakish playboy quality to him.
Tsk, best not to tell him, let him discover it himself.
Natalie Vaughn shook her head and began admiring Zane’s office.
Unlike James Vaughn’s office, Zane’s has strong design elements. Who would think there’s a race car stopped in it, just like in a showroom.
Aside from that, Zane’s office uses a lot of glass, making the space seem very large, giving it a modern and avant-garde feel.
Natalie Vaughn got up slowly exploring, finding a hidden door leading to a suite complete with a bedroom, bathroom, and even a kitchen.
If busy until it’s late, staying there wouldn’t feel like settling.
Natalie Vaughn leaned against the door frame, arms crossed.
"President Thorne, this is quite a hiding spot, has any little vixen lived in there?"
Natalie Vaughn joked, raising her brows.
Zane casually tugged his collar.
"Wasn’t it waiting for you to move in?"
After speaking he paused.
"If you want to experience it, we could stay at the company for a few days."
The assistant coming in with milk: ...What did she just hear?
Zane furrowed his brows.
"Don’t know how to knock?"
The assistant hurriedly placed the milk down, quickly bowing.
"Sorry, President Thorne."
Oh no, how did she make such a low-level mistake, there goes her job probably.
Zane indeed hates it when people make mistakes in small things, just about to scold, Natalie Vaughn came over, took a sip of milk.
"Wow, the temperature is just right! My favorite!"
Upon hearing, the assistant quickly said.
"President Thorne specifically instructed the brand and temperature you like, ma’am, reminding them several times."
Natalie Vaughn raised her eyebrows looking at Zane.
"Thank you, darling."
Zane’s expression slightly relaxed.
"You may go now."
The assistant quickly responded and left. Once the door closed, Natalie Vaughn laughed.
"You’re too harsh on your employees."
"She made a mistake."
"But it was a small one."
Zane still wanted to say more, seeing Natalie Vaughn raise her glass.
"Since the milk is so good, just let it slide."
Just now, a quick remark from her and the assistant could respond promptly, every word praising Zane, complimenting Zane in front of her like this—a clever assistant indeed. Thinking about it, it might have been because she came suddenly today, feeling both curious and flustered.
Zane helplessly shook his head.
"Is it really that good?"
He clearly understood Natalie Vaughn’s intention.
"I never lie."
