“Luca,” Abel had just scrolled to Luca’s contact and was about to call him.

“Stop!” Emmeline quickly grabbed his phone and said, “You can’t call Luca right now.”

Abel was shocked, “What’s wrong, Emma? Why are you so jumpy?”

Emmeline explained, “I sent Luca out on an errand, so you can’t call him right now.”

Abel was confused, “You sent him out? For what?”

Emmeline winked, “I sent him out on a date. Do you think you’re the only one who deserves to find love while your trusted subordinate suffers in solitude?”

Abel was taken aback for a bit, then smiled, “So you sent him over to Nightfall Cafe?”

Emmeline was a little happy with herself, “Of course! Where else would he go?”

Abel laughed, “I was just about to send him there as well, but I only wanted him to get coffee. I didn’t plan on sending him on a date.”

Emmeline chuckled, “You’re just blissfully unaware of a man’s thirst!”

After a pause, Abel suddenly narrowed his eyes mischievously and pulled Emmeline into his embrace, then said with a hoarse voice, “But now your dear husband is feeling a bit thirsty too.”

“Ah!” Emmeline screamed, finally realizing that she had fallen into the clutches of a scoundrel.

However, it was too late to struggle.

Abel lifted her up to his hip and sealed her lips with a kiss.

“Mmf, mmf,” Emmeline tried very hard to speak, “We shouldn’t. This is your workplace.”

Abel said, “This is my private space. No one would dare to come in.”

Emmeline argued, “Still, we shouldn’t. My lipstick is going to be ruined. How will I be able to walk out later?”

“I can’t take it anymore. I’ve been holding it in since last night. Do you know how hard that is, babe?”

Emmeline trembled at his words and said nervously, “Abel, don’t tell me you want to do it here…”

Abel said confidently, “Yes, I want to do it here. I can’t wait even a single second longer.”

He then pulled up Emmeline’s skirt.

After which, he spun his office chair so that its back was facing the door.

“Ah,” Emmeline moaned as she wrapped her arms around his neck. She was completely at Abel’s disposal.

One of the department heads came up to hand over next month’s proposal, but noticed that the door to the CEO’s office was ajar.

The department head gently pushed the door open and was about to walk in.

However, he didn’t notice that the CEO was sitting behind the giant office desk.

Suddenly, he heard a faint gasp.

The department head was no greenhorn and knew what the sound was.

He instantly froze, his legs feeling as though they were stuck in quicksand.

“Ah, Abel, not too hard…”

When he heard Emmeline’s gasping voice, the department head turned his gaze towards the large office chair that had its back facing the door.

After which, the department head hastily reversed his way out of the office and shut the door.

Wiping away the sweat from his brow, he breathed a sigh of relief, “That was dangerous.”

The secretary looked over the reception counter and asked, “What’s wrong? Didn’t you just go inside? Why did you come out so quickly?”

The department head instructed the secretary, “Uhh it’s nothing. For the next hour– No, for the next two hours, no one is allowed in the CEO’s office!”

The secretary was curious, “Why? Mr. Ryker didn’t give me any instructions.”

“Mr. Ryker…”

The department head looked back at the door to the CEO’s office and continued, “Mr. Ryker is a little occupied right now. Just do as I say.”

The secretary asked again, “You said for two hours? Does he need that much time?”

The department head replied, “Mr. Ryker has received special forces training before. By my estimate, he needs two hours maybe.”

“Very well then.”

The secretary mused, “I wonder what Mr. Ryker is so occupied with that no one is allowed to enter for two whole hours.”

After about ten minutes, another department head came over. This time, it’s from the overseas department.

The secretary stopped him and said, “Mr. Ryker is currently occupied. No one is allowed to enter for the next two hours.”

The overseas department head frowned, “Two hours? I have people waiting on the other side. I don’t have two hours to waste.”

The secretary said, “Regardless, you are not allowed to enter!”

The overseas department head said, “Then what about these documents? Can you look at them for me?”

The secretary replied, “What use will that be? I’m not the one who can approve them.”

The overseas department head said, “Then why are you still stopping me? Are you going to take responsibility if we lose a huge overseas order?”
