Back to Love: A New Beginning
Chapter 76

Chapter 76:

Derek’s intention was obvious to me, but it was too much.

I remembered that the door was unlocked. Someone could walk in at any moment – how embarrassing it would be for someone to see us like this!

Agitated, I tried to push him away. “Derek, I’ve been working all night. I’m tired.”

But he didn’t want to let me go. He pressed his body against mine and whispered, “No need to worry, honey. Your husband is the one who will struggle.”

There were two things weighing on my mind at this point: one, I couldn’t resist his flirting; and two, I kept thinking about the unlocked door.

He must have known that doing it slowly wasn’t good for a situation like this, so he didn’t waste time on foreplay and flirting for too long. He started penetrating me right away.

“Honey, now that you see everything, you should know by now that I can give you anything you want and make you the happiest woman in the world,” he commented.

In situations like this, I couldn’t think of anything else. But, even though I felt like I was in a trance, I understood that he was referring to his position as president.

“Having money does not mean being happy. Likewise, I am not necessarily unhappy without it. In the past, I was poor, but I was happy because I had my family with me every day of my life,” I replied.

A charming smile appeared on Derek’s face.

Just then, we heard a knock at the door.

Annoyed, Derek picked up an ashtray from the tea table and threw it against the door. The impact of the ashtray against the door caused a loud bang, followed by the sound of it breaking on the floor.

Suddenly, the banging on the door stopped.

I felt like laughing at Derek’s crazy reaction and the force with which he continued to penetrate despite the sudden interruption.

A few minutes later, he finally finished with my entire body.

After sorting out our clothes and our disheveled hair, Derek went to open the door.

In fact, the door was not closed now. However, the attendant didn’t get permission to enter after knocking on the door, so he didn’t dare to enter randomly.

It seemed that Derek was a very strict boss most of the time. Derek knew that no one would have the courage to enter his office without his permission. That was probably the reason he had dared to have sex with me in his office with the door unlocked.

Outside the doorway, his assistant was standing on shaky legs.

He must have been frightened by all the noise earlier.

“What’s wrong?” At that moment, Derek looked very serious and gave off a frigid, daunting aura.

“Mr. Sullivan, the managing editor of the Sousen Evening News is here.” The assistant didn’t dare look Derek in the eye.

“Good,” Derek replied as he looked at me.

When I met his gaze, I thought he wanted to throw me out again. But, to my surprise, he said, “Let him in.”

With that said, he sat back down in the chair behind the desk, leaning against the backrest. He crossed his legs and regained his composure. Meanwhile, I sat on the couch where we had just had sex. Somehow, I could still smell the hormones wafting through the air.

Moments later, the editor-in-chief of Sousen Evening News stood up. After looking at me, he immediately ignored me. Once he had shaken Derek’s hand, he sat down across from him.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.” As he said this, Derek looked at me unintentionally. Our gazes met for a brief space of time and, for that instant, I felt there was chemistry between us.

I looked away, feeling uncomfortable.

The editor-in-chief shook his head and smiled, “It’s okay, Mr. Sullivan. I know how busy you are, and I understand.”

I felt like laughing, especially seeing how serious Derek was at that moment. I couldn’t help but look down, pretending to read the magazine he was picking up next to me.

“Last time, I mentioned holding an exclusive interview with you. I was wondering when you might have some time to arrange it?” the editor-in-chief asked kindly.

I tried to concentrate on reading the magazine, but my thoughts were inevitably distracted by their conversation.

Were they talking about Derek’s exclusive interview at the bar last time? But this wasn’t exactly something I had to keep secret-why did he feel the need to keep me in the dark? Truth be told, financial magazines bored me. So, I pulled out my phone and discovered that it hadn’t been turned on since the night before.

As soon as I turned it on, I received several messages in a row. When I checked to see who they were from, I discovered they had all been sent by Seagull.

“Eve, are you free right now? I was hoping I could talk to you. It’s been so long since we’ve had a good chat.”

“I’m considering going back home to further my career, what do you think?”

“You, you look like you’ve had a lot to do lately.”

“Anyway, Good night!” I realized that these messages had been sent to me around ten o’clock at night.

“I’m so sorry, Seagull! My phone was off last night.” After a while, he replied to me with a long line of crying emoji. Not a minute later, he sent another message. “I thought you didn’t want to see me. I was so sad.”

Was he saying that he wanted to return to Sousen and planned to meet me?

Without hesitation, I replied, “Why wouldn’t I want to meet with you? I’m looking forward to it, Seagull.”

The truth was that I was both hopeful and nervous about this meeting. The person with whom I had kept in touch and who had helped me for so many years was finally meeting me.

I had always imagined Seagull to be an intelligent and kind-hearted gentleman. But I wasn’t sure he was the same as I had imagined him to be.

Now I wondered what he would think of me. Would my appearance be a disappointment to him?

“I’m looking forward to it too!” replied Seagull.

I lifted my head, looking away from the phone screen only to replace that Derek was staring at me. Was he bothered by the frequent sound of my text tone?
