"What about the time after next?"
"Both of us!"
Mandy tried her best to coax her arrogant husband.
At the Ye Group
It was mid-autumn. In mid-September, the weather was still a little sultry, but less hot than the
scorching summer the year had seen. Bonnie wore a simple, pink dress with a nipped waist and a pair
of high-heeled shoes, which set off her tall figure and made her look much taller than usual.
Simon was in a meeting, so Bonnie waited for him in his office.
Ever since Simon had taken over the business at the Ye Group, and Bonnie had started coming to the
office, she'd been particularly annoyed with the smell of tea in his office. Simon was a thoughtful man
both in life and at work, as he had been since his student days. Bonnie knew he was a neat freak and
recalled their time in high school. She remembered how he would mop off the table and chair every day
at school.
Rays of warm sunshine came in the office through the Venetian blinds. The air was warm, but it
mingled well with the light breeze. Simon had turned the air conditioner off and opened a window
before leaving for the meeting.
Simon couldn't tolerate heat at all, so he always needed the air conditioner, even in late autumn. But he
had changed his habits after marrying Nacy.
Bonnie lay down on the couch with a satisfied, cozy smile, and even her heart seemed to be singing
and waltzing. She took her phone out and played a happy song with a ukulele intro. She was in the
best of spirits.
She felt like what she had waiting and hoping for had finally happened.
Simon and Nacy had ended their three-year-long marriage. It was good for Bonnie since they'd gotten
divorced without a child. Moreover, Nacy had already started dating Bruce. Naturally, Bonnie assumed
Simon's relationship with Nacy was over for good, and couldn't be rekindled.
"I am jealous of you because your love is so imposing like a queen with unparalleled popularity. What
you want is not me, but a kind of vanity. You don't look outstanding unless someone loves you..." The
song "International Queen" played in the quiet office. It was Bonnie's favorite song. She closed her
eyes and hummed along with the music.
Just then, Simon pushed the door open and walked in, frowning. He was wearing a black suit with a
simple, crisp white shirt.
His secretary had already told him Bonnie was waiting for him inside.
Simon was mentally prepared. Even though he didn't like this woman, he needed to play along with
her. Only when he found out the truth about Nacy's miscarriage could he ask Nacy to come back to
him.
"Simon, how are you!" Bonnie exclaimed, getting up from the couch. She walked toward him like an
innocent child.
Simon seemed to have lost some weight. His face looked sharper than before, and his cheeks had lost
flesh too. His eyes seemed to have sunk in, granting him a dull look.
"Why are you here, Bonnie?" Simon asked, staring into her eyes with his lips pursed.
"What? Didn't you want to see me here?" Bonnie pouted her lips mockingly, her face full of pride.
"No...I'm busy with work. If you don't have anything important, you should leave. I'll take you out for
dinner when I'm free, okay?" Simon spoke with a straight face. Although he didn't want to see her at all,
right now he couldn't brush her off bluntly.
Simon walked closer to her so he could smell her perfume...but he found she wasn't wearing that
special one today.
"What are you looking for? Is there something on my face?" Bonnie asked with an awkward smile,
touching her own cheeks consciously.
She was surprised that Simon was staring at her. His eyes had a kind of passion she had never seen
before.
"Nothing. Have a seat, please..." Simon said quietly with a faint smile on his face.
Simon sat down on his chair, and Bonnie perched upon the armrest. He stretched his long legs and
took off his suit jacket, staring at her without uttering a single word.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Bonnie asked with a smile, almost whispering.
"What do you want from me today?" Simon asked directly, without the slightest interest in playing
around with her. He wondered why she hadn't used the perfume...
"It's the mayor's birthday today. Will you come with me to the party?" With a flirtatious smile, Bonnie
switched to a more comfortable sitting position, while deliberately revealing her long, snow-white legs.
"I'm not interested...are you going?" he asked, smiling coldly.
"Of course. They sent me an invitation. How can you not go?"
The Zhong Family and Tang Family hadn't been very close in the past, but they still dealt with each
other cordially. Bonnie's father had presented a couple of precious antiques to Joshua, which he had
collected over the course of many years.
Simon had received Joshua's invite over a week ago, but he was too busy to attend such a birthday
party. What's more, his mood was completely spoiled.
"I think you should attend it without me," Simon spoke through a weak smile.
"Won't you please come with me, Simon?"
"Okay, no problem!" Simon replied quickly. He had suddenly recalled something important. He guessed
she only wore that perfume on special occasions, so it was possible she would apply it for the party.
Bonnie smiled shyly. Her face blushed as she stared into his eyes seductively, rubbing her legs against
his'.
"It will be fun!" Bonnie smiled in a dignified manner, coming from an eminent family.
"Emm... By the way, why didn't you apply that perfume today?" Simon asked without thinking too much.
He just couldn't help it.
"Why, do you like it that much?" Bonnie asked innocently. She thought he might have some fascination
with her perfume...which she thought was romantic.
But alas, she was just a woman in love, and her thoughts were simple. She had no suspicions and
thought he just cared for her.
"Yes. The perfume you used last time we met was very pleasant!" Simon commented artfully. Bonnie
was euphoric, thinking about kissing him right away.
"If you really like it, I'll put it on tonight...you can bury your face in my neck and smell it all you want,"
she whispered and got up from the armrest. She then turned around, widened her legs and sat on
Simon's lap, making sure her short dress revealed all of her legs.
