It’s been two hours since we arrived inivan’s offer. After that unplanned kiss we shared, I ran to the couch in the living–mom area and buried my face in a pillow to hide how flustered 1 was, even though broddn’t tool amone. Ivan only laughed slightly before getting back to work. For a while, all we could hear was his lingers dancing on his computer’s keshoand.
But was starting to get bored. It’s not very fun to stare at the ceiling and wait for time to pass. That’s why I decided to ask him this question. If I got to be stuck here, Eshould at least use me time wisely and try to learn as much as possible about Evan and his family.

Inod my head, rather impressed with this information, I didn’t expect that the Whitlock’s business could be related to food. But then, another question staVES TO poke around in the back of my mind.
How does selling food give you the right to shoot and soap people without consequences, then?”
Trat looks like he’s been expecting the question. He leans back in his chuit, his fingers tapping on the wooden desk.

Not knowing the extent of this situation is driving me nuts.

“Don’t try anything furry, doll. You don’t low what kind of security I have put in place here.”
Il my eyes and nod before heading out of the office. It’s not like I’m stupid enough to attempt an escape right now. The floor is still not flooded with people but the few that ate poesent are eyeing me like a beast in a cage. They didn’t dare to stare at me for more than a few seconds when was with tan rating but now they’ve become shameless 1 hear them whisper about me and though I can’t bear everything that is said, 1 know it’s nothing positive..

“What’s your relationship with Carmen??“.
“She was father’s secretary. And now she’s mine.”
How come you had your father’s secretary in your bed?”
“Because you aren’t giving me any pussy‘

“That’s not my job, lean. And that shouldn’t be Carmen’s either.”
“Your job is anything I decide it to be. And for now, I will settle with you being a source of entertainment.”
“AmTentertaining to you?”

“Well…It’s funny because I want to see how long you’ll hold on too, before you start begging me to fuck you.”
Ivan laughs. His smile is stunning and my heart skips a beat yet again.
“Okay.” He nods. “Let’s see how this will end, Miss Nunez.”

*Umm… It is, yes
So, you will let me go?”
“I will, Catalina.”
I take a sip of my coffee, my heart palpitating with excitement. This is my key to freedom. Now more than ever, I need to seduce Ivan Whitlack
