Addiction to Temptation: His Mischievous Sweetheart Captivates Him-Chapter 235: Even Heroes Succumb to Beauties

Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Even Heroes Succumb to Beauties

The little assistant ran into Seraphina Sutton as soon as she stepped out, casually placing the tray on a nearby table and hugging Seraphina.

"Ms. Sutton, woah, the CEO’s wife is just amazing, isn’t she?"

With that, everyone in the president’s office looked over.

Seraphina asked,

"How so?"

The assistant recounted everything that had happened in the office earlier, including what Zane Thorne had said when she entered.

As soon as the story ended, everyone gasped in surprise. One person had just finished scrolling through the company chat group.

"So President Thorne really did have a lipstick mark on his chin?"

They had rushed in too quickly to see clearly.

The assistant nodded.

The person who asked the question almost screamed, quickly posting a message in the chat group.

"It’s true."

Since the people in the president’s office confirmed it, it had to be true! Early in the morning, because of Natalie Vaughn’s visit and the lipstick mark on Zane Thorne’s chin, the whole GN Group was buzzing with energy.

Despite the amusement, the year-end was approaching with a mountain of tasks, so everyone quickly immersed themselves in their work. Still, when free moments arose, they found excuses to visit the top-floor president’s office.

Unfortunately for them, Natalie Vaughn stayed inside Zane Thorne’s office all that time, and they didn’t have the authority to speak directly with Zane Thorne.

Natalie was a bit bored, having come mainly to see Seraphina Sutton. Although she did get to see her, there wasn’t any chance to chat.

Zane was incredibly busy, and since he was busy, Seraphina couldn’t relax either.

Natalie sat on the couch watching people come and go. At first, they looked at her curiously, but later, due to work and Zane Thorne’s sternness, they all lowered their heads after a reprimand.

They were eager for gossip, but work was more important.

Natalie truly got a sense of how busy a group’s leaders were as the year-end approached.

Having drunk a bit too much the night before, Natalie hadn’t slept enough. After silently playing some games on the couch, drowsiness took over. She yawned and then fell asleep leaning against the couch.

Zane Thorne had been keeping an eye on Natalie almost the whole time, and the moment she fell asleep, he raised a hand to halt his subordinate’s report.

Under everyone’s gaze, the usually stern boss now wore a gentle expression, carefully picking up the sleeping girl.

Since she wasn’t deeply asleep, when Zane picked her up, Natalie instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck. With half-opened eyes, she murmured,

"You’re done with work?"

Zane murmured an acknowledgment and kissed her eyelid.

"Mm, go back to sleep."

Natalie closed her eyes again as Zane carried her to the lounge inside.

The people in the office didn’t know where to look, worried about waking the person inside when someone inadvertently coughed.

But... Zane had been inside for ten minutes and hadn’t come out yet.

They weren’t impatient, just couldn’t help but gossip quietly in the meantime.

"Did you see that? President Thorne was really gentle just now."

"Wow, when I was dating my wife, I wasn’t that sweet even in Sylon."

"But the CEO’s wife really does look pitiable."

"You’re not supposed to say that out loud."

"Ah, beauties make heroes hard to resist."

"Don’t you guys think that the lady isn’t without her own abilities?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"No one online has figured out the lady’s background. Do you know which family she’s from?"

"Which one?"

"The Vaughn Family."

"The one that just secured the partnership with us, The Vaughn Group?"

"Do you think President Thorne is really happy for the lady to go into entertainment?"

"You mean does the lady want to go?"

"True enough."

After fifteen minutes, Zane finally came out, and everyone returned to normal. However, when discussing work, everyone instinctively lowered their voices.

For fear of disturbing the person inside.

After seeing almost ten groups of people in the morning, Zane finally got a break. Just as he entered the break room, Natalie slowly woke up.

"Awake?"

Natalie yawned lightly and glanced at the time.

"I can’t believe I slept for so long."

"Mm, it’s just in time for lunch."

Natalie sat up straight and realized something was amiss, then noticed her clothes had been changed. No wonder she slept so comfortably.

"Did you change my clothes? These clothes are quite troublesome."

Zane smiled and leaned against the headboard, hugging Natalie.

"Took me fifteen minutes."

Natalie chuckled, somewhat losing her smile. She remembered there were people reporting work in the office before she fell asleep, so...

Natalie opened her eyes wide.

"Did you let your employees wait for so long?"

The man raised an eyebrow.

"Why not?"

Natalie blushed a little, playfully punching Zane’s chest.

"You don’t care, but I do!"

The man laughed, capturing Natalie’s hand and kissing it.

"I didn’t do anything, they could imagine that in fifteen minutes?"

Natalie: ...

Seeing Natalie at a loss for words, Zane laughed joyfully, his morning fatigue swept away. No wonder his dad always talks about having his mom accompany him to work, it turns out...having a wife with you at work really does feel different.

Zane smiled and patted Natalie’s waist.

"Hurry up and get ready, I’ll take you to lunch."

Natalie blinked.

"The company cafeteria?"

"You want to eat in the company cafeteria?"

"Of course."

"Alright, whatever you say."

Natalie got out of bed. She didn’t have any clothes there, so Zane had dressed her in his own shirt. His shirt was large, and when Natalie wore it, the hem covered her thighs.

But...

When she got out of bed, Zane’s eyes changed.

Wearing Zane’s black shirt gave Natalie a completely different allure. Her skin was fair, and her figure was slim. The top three buttons weren’t fastened, revealing her delicate collarbones and a large expanse of skin, along with...a hint of cleavage.

Zane’s gaze was so intense that Natalie couldn’t ignore it. She frowned and turned back, realizing where Zane was looking, and immediately clutched her neckline, scolding.

"You old perv."

Zane laughed as he walked over, hugging Natalie from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder.

"How about we eat a little later?"

Natalie rolled her eyes, mercilessly prying off his hands.

"No, I’m hungry."

What is this dog of a man thinking? It’s his office, he has so much work left, and he’s still contemplating those things.

The man chuckled softly, lightly biting Natalie’s shoulder.

"Then let’s go eat; we can’t let my dear go hungry, can we?"

Natalie spent another fifteen minutes changing clothes and freshening up, and when she was ready to leave, the dining rush had just passed.

Seraphina had been waiting outside all the while and stood up as soon as she saw them come out.

Natalie approached and took Seraphina’s hand.

"Come have lunch with us."

Seraphina wanted to agree but after seeing her boss’s gaze, she regrettably shook her head.

"Madam, I’ve already eaten. The company’s restaurant is quite good; I recommend the Mao Xue Wang, a very popular dish. If you go too late, it might be gone."

She knew Natalie loved spicy food and that this popular dish wouldn’t run out whenever she went.

She had specially instructed the restaurant.

Natalie was indeed hungry; hearing the name of the dish made her subconsciously swallow.

Zane stepped forward to pull her by the waist.

"Let’s go eat first."
