Chapter 222\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t remember anything from last night\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Charlotte bit down hard on her lip. Blood quickly seeped from the corner of her mouth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ethan\u2019s brow creased as he reached out and touched it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter if you don\u2019t remember. I remember.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He lowered his gaze indifferently, staring at the bright red smear on his fingertip, and drew a quiet breath.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Last night, he had gone to Charlotte\u2019s place intending only to tease her a little.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Charlotte was one of Khloe\u2019s most trusted subordinates-if she got tangled up with him, that would be rather interesting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He hadn\u2019t expected Charlotte to be so resistant, avoiding him as if he were the plague.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ethan had never met a woman he couldn\u2019t provoke a reaction from. Even when he tentatively offered her a sum of money, suggesting she simply follow him, Charlotte rejected him without the slightest hesitation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was an easier, better path laid out before her, yet she stubbornly refused to take it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Was he really that bad? So bad that he couldn\u2019t even catch the eye of a poor girl like her?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Almost against his will, a desire to conquer took root.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Using the excuse that his wound was inflamed, he forced Charlotte to tend to him all night. After she collapsed from exhaustion and fell asleep, he gently unfastened a few buttons of her pajamas, pulled her into his arms, and took intimate photos of the two of them together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At first, it was nothing more than Ethan\u2019s cruel amusement. He hadn\u2019t expected Charlotte to be even more na\u00efve than he thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he told her they had slept together, she actually believed him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Whether Charlotte was pretending to be clueless or truly believed it, Ethan didn\u2019t mind playing along.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEthan, even if something did happen between us\u2026 it was an accident. You couldn\u2019t possibly be interested in a woman like me, right? I saw it that day-across the street\u2026 you already have a girlfriend.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Charlotte hadn\u2019t wanted to say it, but Ethan left her no choice. She spoke up, resentful yet helpless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A shadow deepened in Ethan\u2019s eyes. She thought Michelle was his girlfriend? Hadn\u2019t she seen Michelle\u2019s face?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGirlfriends can be replaced,\u201d he said coolly. \u201cRight now, I\u2019m more interested in someone like you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His long, well-defined fingers slid into Charlotte\u2019s thick black hair. He cupped the back of her head and forced her to meet his aggressively intent gaze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I\u2019m not interested in you,\u201d Charlotte said through clenched teeth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019re not interested, why do you keep dodging me? Why do you panic and blush whenever you see me-and\u00a0<\/p>\n

why are you afraid of people finding out about our relationship?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want Khloe to misunderstand, and I don\u2019t want ugly rumors spreading in the company. I cherish this job. I\u2019m just a nobody scrambling to make a living. I can\u2019t compare to someone as distinguished as you. So please, have mercy and stop toying with me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Charlotte\u2019s voice was cool and resolute, yet beneath it lay an unmistakable note of panic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She treasured everything she had now and didn\u2019t want to be dragged into any conflicts. She knew very well about the tension between Khloe and Ethan, and she didn\u2019t want Khloe worrying over her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That would fill her with guilt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Besides, her mother needed large sums of money for medical treatment, and her younger brother still had school to attend. She couldn\u2019t afford to lose this job.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSure,\u201d Ethan said leisurely. \u201cAs long as you do what I say, I won\u2019t toy with you. I\u2019ll even treat you well and pamper you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His breath brushed lightly over her skin, inch by inch. A chilling sensation instantly crept through Charlotte\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n
nerves.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you want from me? At work, you\u2019re my superior, and I\u2019m your subordinate. As long as it\u2019s within procedure, I\u2019ll handle any task properly. I don\u2019t need you to pamper me\u2014\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Charlotte was still forcing herself to play dumb when Ethan pressed a finger firmly against her lips, cutting her\u00a0<\/p>\n
off mid-sentence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
