Chapter 23 Distracted
Jenna ran back to the office and closed the bathroom door of the inner suite. She leaned against the door frame and exhaled a long breath.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
She saw herself in the mirror and realized that she looked flustered. Her face was red, and her chest was pounding like a rabbit. She couldn’t help but feel annoyed.
She said to herself, “Jenna Murphy, what did you do wrong? Why are you so flustered? Aren’t you just going to be laughed at by that b*stard Hansen?”
“What the hell is going on!”
“If mere a mocking eyes of him could make I lose composure, then what am I going to do in the future?” She asked herself.
She took a deep breath, shook her head, and walked to the bedroom. She then casually laid on the wide soft bed.
The chandelier on the ceiling dangled in the air and made a kaleidoscope of shapes akin to butterflies. The decoration on the ceiling was like a cloudy blue sky. As Jenna opened her eyes and watched the ‘butterflies’ playing on the blue sky and clouds, she couldn’t help but drift away in thought.
“Humph,” Jenna heard a cold, demon-like voice with a disdainful sneer.
She was so shocked that she turned her body over and sat up.
Hansen was standing in front of the suite with flushed cheeks, as if they had been dyed with red wine. He looked at her in disdain and mockery.
“How did you get in?” Jenna asked loudly. She was taken aback by surprise. She quickly took the pillow from the bed and held it tightly in her arms. When she entered the bedroom just now, she closed the door and locked it on purpose! How did he get in?
Hansen raised the key in his hand, which he thought was very funny. “This is my company. Of course I have the key. Who can stop me from entering any room I want?”
He smiled waywardly and slowly approached her.
“What are you trying to do?” Jenna inched back with a vigilant look on her face.
Hansen smiled evilly and looked down at Jenna. Looking at Jenna’s eyes, he gently raised a gold bank card in his hand and sneered, “Is this the money you sold your body for again?”
“Ah!” Jenna’s expression suddenly changed and she was in shock. It turned out that in panic, she had forgotten to bring with her the bonus that Rayan gave to her. She didn’t know how Hansen had it in his hands. Wasn’t this another chance for him to mock her again?
“Give it to me,” she jumped up and reached out to grab it.
Hansen raised his hand slightly, so Jenna failed to grab it and fell on the bed.
“What do you want?” Jenna glared at him angrily, her eyes slashed at him as if they were scissors. She wanted nothing more than to slice him up.
“Unreasonable, this man is so unreasonable!” Jenna felt so upset that she was going to cough out all her organs!
His handsome face suddenly came over and stopped in front of her. His fair fingers gently lifted her chin. It seemed gentle, but on closer look, it was like there was a knife hiding in his eyes. He pressed his thin lips together and revealed a smile.
“Tell me, how much did you sell yourself for? Do you really need the money that much?”
His cold eyes looked straight at her, as if he wanted to see through her, but his hand held it tighter and tighter until her whole chin was in his palm.
After all, she was once his wife. Would his woman be so poor that she had to sell herself to survive?
He had just compensated her with a large sum of money!
Hansen was furious in his heart, and his eyes were screaming caution!
Jenna felt a sharp pain in her chin, as if it was going to be dislocated. She felt a chill in her heart and slapped his hand away. Her face suddenly turned red, her delicate eyebrows tightened. “Hansen, you’ve gone too far. We are divorced, you have no right to control me. Why do you have to insult me like this?”
“Insult?” Hansen raised his eyebrows and said with a mocking face, “You must be disappointed! The man you like has a woman he loves. You are just someone else’s toy. If I am right, you must be angry with the embarrassment, and now you have nowhere to vent your anger, am I right? Don’t look at me like this, I’m just telling you the truth.”
“You b*stard.”
Jenna gnashed her teeth, she was extremely sad and disappointed. They didn’t even have the slightest trust for each other at all. Why was she still in love with him?!
She really was stupid!
So stupid that after being humiliated by him again and again, she still had a glimmer of hope for him.
Her eyes turned red. She looked at him coldly, and a few words jumped out of her teeth. “Hansen, I must have been blind to even be with you.”
“Humph!” Hansen smiled coldly and remained unmoved.
He exposed her but she was still acting like she was wronged. What for?
His long arm was like pincers trapping her. He dragged her to the soft bed so that she could not move. He crossed his legs over and pinned her. His eyes were red and vicious as he said fiercely,
“Woman, how much do you want? Sell yourself to me, I’ll satisfy you.”
His big palm began to strip her clothes, and Jenna’s eyes showed fear as she struggled and resisted.
Her struggle caused his body to heat up.
He thought that he must be crazy! He must have turned crazy because he was too angry at her! Otherwise, how would he lose his mind completely?
This d*mned woman, ever since she appeared in front of him again, his life had been completely chaotic. He was no longer as calm and composed as before. His thoughts were always in a mess, and his heart in disarray.
He just wanted to hold her down and release everything he felt!
“Hansen, let me go.” His animalistic nature had really frightened Jenna.
She wouldn’t allow her dignity to be violated. She mercilessly pushed him away with her hands, and the wound on her palms that had been bandaged the night before was torn open again, fresh blood was flowing out.
“Hansen, you are such a rascal, a punk down to your bones. You only know how to bully women. What kind of man are you? I’m going to sue you,” Jenna shouted at the top of her voice.
“So what if I am bullying you? You want to sue me? Go ahead!” Hansen went crazy. He tore off her clothes, stretched out his hand, and grabbed her limbs as he pressed them on top of her head. His hot lips bit her lips and began to frantically guzzle it.
Tears flowed out of Jenna’s eyes. She tried her best to shout, “Hansen, how are you going to face Aria like this? Don’t forget, you two are going to get married soon.”
Hansen’s body suddenly froze. Jenna’s words woke him up from his madness. He was stunned. Jenna took the opportunity to push him away and ran out of bed.
The gauze on her palm was dyed red by her blood. She squatted on the ground, held her hand as she cried out loud.
Hansen’s face turned a little pale. “Let me warn you again. Stay in the company and don’t provoke those men. Otherwise, I won’t let you go so easily. You should know what I can do.” After a long time, Hansen stood up and held back the desire in his heart. He threw the gold card on the bed as he exclaimed with anger.
“Who are you to control me? Rayan is my brother. He helped me before, we are innocent.” Jenna raised her red and tearful eyes as she tried to clear her name.
“Brother.” Hansen couldn’t help but sneer. “Do you think I’m a fool? How can a man give a woman money for no reason?”
“It’s not him who gave me the money, it’s his company’s reward. I should be rewarded for my car design, so why can’t I take it?” Jenna bit her lip and argued loudly. Her eyes were full of tears, like broken beads falling. Her shoulders were shaking from being emotional.
Hansen was stunned!
Jenna held the bleeding wound on her palm and cried bitterly. With tears in her eyes, she shouted, “Hansen, get out of my way. I don’t want to ever see you again.”
Her pale little face was covered by pain and despair, her whole body was shaking. Her beautiful eyebrows were wrinkled into a ball, and the blood-red gauze in her palm was glaring.
Hansen took a step back and felt an inexplicable panic!
He stared at her in a daze, not knowing what to do.
“Get out, get out!” Jenna yelled at him, her face overflowing with anger.
Hansen felt like he was trapped at the bottom of the foggy cliff and was lost. After taking a step back, he turned around and fled.
He rushed into the office and fell down on the sofa. He held his head in his hands and his mind was in a mess. His mind was full of Jenna who had tears running down her pale face.
What was wrong with all this? Why did he lose his mind?
He rushed into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and let the cold water run from his head to his toes. The heat in his body gradually cooled down, and his consciousness gradually recovered. However, he became more annoyed after he regained his rationality!
Why was it so hard for him to control himself every time he saw this woman?
He felt like he’s an arrow in mid-shot, and he could not stop himself at all. The desire in his body was as strong as if it had been confined for a thousand years before it was released.
Perhaps he was really wrong. He shouldn’t have requested that she return to the company to work!
The light in his eyes was as dark as an abyss, he couldn’t solve this problem he created!
He was waiting for Alvin Robertson to come back!
Jenna held her bleeding palm and squatted in front of the bed, crying. She pressed hard on the palm of her hand as she let the bone-chilling pain pierce through her heart.
If she held on, it might not take long for everything to end!
She had to hold on!
There was a gentle knock on the door.
Jenna clenched her teeth and held back her tears.
“Miss Murphy, Mr. Richards told me that you tore open your wound. He asked me to bring you the hemostatic ointment and gauze.” Miss Peters walked in. She looked at the red patch on Jenna’s hand and a trace of surprise flashed across her face. She saw her disheveled clothes and seemed to have understood something.
She didn’t say anything. She just picked up Jenna’s wounded hand and looked at it carefully as she tried to remove the gauze to apply the medicine on her.
“No need, I’m fine. The bleeding stopped.” Jenna said lightly. She took the hemostatic ointment in her hand and threw it into the garbage bin with a ‘bang’.
“Well…” Miss Peters smiled awkwardly and looked as if she had been put in a tight spot. She had no choice but to say, “If you are all right, then I’ll leave.”
Jenna nodded. Miss Peters shook her head and sighed as she left.
She took the gauze and wrapped it around her hands until her palms were covered with a thick layer of white gauze, until there was no trace of blood. Then she laid on the bed and fell asleep.
At three o’clock in the afternoon.
At the conference hall on the 88th floor.
The large LCD screen was showing the car design that the high-level designers of Richards Group came up with in a few days and nights.
Hansen attached great importance to the press conference that was going to be held. In the past few days, all the executives of Richards Group and the staff were all working on this.
For this event, Hansen used almost all his efforts and did everything himself.
Only by leading their businesses to the whole world could they have a bigger chance of survival. This was key to the turning point for Richards Group.
In order to go above the competitors and grasp first place in the world, he specially designed these high-class luxury cars in the country. He wanted to invite all the rich people from countries all over the world for this event, and if he could win their favor and get the contract signed successfully, it would become the most powerful breakthrough for their overseas business.
More importantly, if Whalen Group wanted to suppress him, there would be no chance for them to do so!
As long as it could continue like this, Richards Group could take over the global market, and Whalen Group would be inferior to them in terms of producing luxury cars.
