Cicely’s eyes widened, her heart pounding in panic. It wasn’t until she crashed into a familiar chest that
she felt some comfort.
She stumbled into his arms, her legs awkwardly positioned. She squirmed a bit, but the man’s grip
tightened around her waist, lifting her up and then setting her back down, this time she landed on the
floor.
But the man didn’t let go. His long arm wrapped tightly around her waist, pressing their bodies together.
She struggled a bit, but his grip only tightened. Finally, her hands braced against his chest, her tense
body gradually relaxing.
Her hair was disheveled from the struggle, a blush staining her carefully made–up face. They were face
to face, their breath heavy with the smell of alcohol, hard to tell whose was stronger.
Or rather, whose stench of booze was thicker.
“Mr. Diaz, can’t we have a straightforward conversation? Do you find it enjoyable to corner me like this
every time? Or do you find it thrilling to flirt with me behind your girlfriend’s back?”
Seth reached out and held her delicate chin, his fingers feeling the warmth of her smooth skin, his eyes
squinting at the sarcastic smile on her face.
His fingers tightened, pulling her closer. His breath, tainted with alcohol, brushed against her nose,
stirring her long eyelashes.
“Who told you to work, huh?” His voice was low and threatening.
Cicely smiled, a subtle warmth in her eyes. “No one forbade me from working, I need to earn money,
Mr. Diaz.”
Seth watched her fake smile quietly, finding it even more annoying than the flirtatious smiles she gave
to others. Not to mention… The way she and Claud were laughing so naturally together.
“I treat you like a VIP at home, yet you’re out here serving others? Cicely, you really know how to stir
up trouble.”

“Can’t take it anymore?” Her fingers traced his chest, climbed up his shoulder. Her red lips slightly
parted, her words laced with a hint of alcohol. You could see her agile little tongue behind her pearly
teeth.
“If you can’t take it, let me go. What’s the point of spending money on someone who constantly irritates
you?”
Seth’s face hardened, his lips pressed tightly together, the hand holding her chin unconsciously
tightened.
“Let you go? You found a better sugar daddy, and want to be kept by him immediately?”
“Does that concern you?”
Cicely looked closely at the handsome face of the man; even when he was angry enough to turn blue,
he was still infuriatingly good–looking.
“Seth, what’s your intention and position in meddling with my life? Based on our previous relationship,
we’re just ex–husband and ex–wife. In short, we’re! no different from strangers. From the current
perspective, you’re a man, I’m a woman. Men and women can have friendships, romantic relationships,
even sexual relationships, lovers… But is our relationship normal? Haven’t you been annoyed, fed up,
and disgusted with me? What now? Can’t live without me?”
Seth looked into her eyes calmly, saying coldly, “Seems like you’re determined to piss me off tonight.”
“I’m just stating the facts, can’t you accept them?”
“Cicely.” Seth said suddenly, his sharp gaze fixed on her, “Don’t push my patience any further.”
Cicely slightly avoided his gaze, “You losing your patience won’t do me any good. I have no reason to
provoke you.”
Seth smiled, his eyes slowly sweeping over her flushed face, “You know this, yet you keep provoking
me. Are you a masochist?”
Cicely rolled her eyes in exasperation. “I need to work, if possible, I don’t want to go back to that house,
even more so, if you could let me off the hook, that would be great. Don’t you find our ambiguous
entanglement disgusting?”
“Disgusting? Cicely, don’t forget, the one who started this clingy mess was you.”
He leaned in close to her, his nose touching her soft cheek, his eyes slightly squinted, looking down at
the woman who was much shorter than him, smelling a unique scent from her. Back when she was the
lady of the Ellis family, he always thought she used some fancy perfume, a kind he didn’t dislike. But
now it seemed, it wasn’t the case.
“So you didn’t pick up anything else, only my special tricks?”
As she spoke, her eyes were on her hand resting on his shoulder, seeing her fingers against his
expensive suit, creating a stark contrast. Her pose was delicate yet languid, exuding an alluring charm.
Was she trying to seduce him? How could that be? Because this woman, by nature, was like that, no
matter who she was dealing with.
Thinking of her shamelessly weaving through the crowd with a beaming smile, his face instantly cooled,
the grip on her chin tightened. “When will you learn to behave? Always causing trouble, even more so
now…”
Cicely snorted, “Now I eat, sleep, work, make money, obey the rules, and don’t break the law. I’m a
perfect model citizen. If this is considered misbehaving, how do you define behaving?”
“Don’t provoke me.”
His nose gently rubbed against her cheek, his masculine scent mixed with alcohol almost enveloped
her, her every breath filled with his dominant scent. His deep voice echoed above her head, every pore
in her body opening up from his intimacy.
She tilted her head slightly, trying to dodge his approach. What he meant by ‘misbehaving‘ was for her
not to provoke him.
Ha. After all that talk and wasted time, it all came down to bullshit!
Fine, I won’t provoke you. Now let me go, I need to go home and rest.”
“Together.” His deep voice resonated in her ear, the breath he exhaled even hotter than before.
Cicely closed her eyes; after all the pointless talk and wasted time, the alcohol was making her head
spin. “Don’t forget your girlfriend is waiting for you, I can go home by myself.”

She paused, irritation unavoidable in her heart, and added, “I think you really need to reassess your
position. You’re being sneaky with me now, considered Danielle’s feelings? You’re really ungrateful,
making trouble for me now because I’m ignoring you, why don’t you, think about how I’m doing this for
your sake and your girlfriend’s?”
