Helen’s POV:
After dinner, George took me downstairs for a walk.
But he appeared to be lost in thoughts far away.I had no idea what he was thinking about.I asked him a
question with the sole objective of disturbing his thought pattern.
"Do you have a legitimate wife at home?"
George was jolted back to reality and he snapped, "Bigamy is against the law."
He accompanied his worn statement by flicking my forehead with his thumb.
"I‘m glad you know that." I rubbed my forehead and couldn‘t stop laughing.
George also smiled at his own joke.
There was a big man–made lake near the apartment building.
This was the first time that I had walked to the lake.I sat lazily on the grass surrounding the lake and
patted the seat beside me, indicating to George to join me.It was unthought of for a sophisticated and
noble man like George to sit on the ground and relax.
So he was reluctant.
After being literally dragged down by me, he finally plonked himself next to me in an untidy heap We
sat side by side, taking in the beautiful view of nature at its best.
A gust of cool wind blew, refreshing us.I couldn‘t help but notice how handsome George looked as the
wind blew through his hair, creating little waves.
Then I ruined the moment by looking at George and saying, "Oh no! It seems that someone has walked
their dog in your seat and forgot to pick up the dog poo!"
George‘s smile turned to a frown.He jumped up from his sitting position and tried to look at the ground
and then his pants.
Seeing his comedic act, I couldn‘t help but laugh and gloat.
George was always indifferent to everything.
But a joke like that always brought out his funny side.
"You dirty liar!"
The property management here was very good, and the dog owners were responsible.
How could such a thing happen here? "How dare you make fun of me, you vile woman?"
George bent over revengefully and pressed me under his body.He also had my hands transfixed to the
ground as I lay down on the lawn.
After tricking him and seeing his semi–serious face, I was not afraid.I teased, "I didn‘t expect you to be
so gullible."
George lowered his head and leaned over to kiss me.He bit my tongue as if he was punishing me for
playing a prank on him. llem Coway My back is wet."
I was breathless after his intense kisses, so I panted like a dog It was humid by the lake and the lawn
was watered every day.
Being pressed against the lawn, I felt my clothes getting soaked.
with a raunchy smile, George asked deliberately, "Where are you wet?"
He was full of sexual innuendos.I couldn‘t help blushing and deliberately whispered, "Down there."
George froze and asked in disbelief, "Are you really my Helen?"
Just when I thought I had succeeded in making him stop talking nonsense, he added, "But I like it.Go
on."
As he spoke, he held my waist with both hands and we swopped positions.He was lying with his back
against the lawn and I lay closely on top of him.
There was only a heartbeat separating the two of us.
This position was absolutely intimate.
He narrowed his eyes and sighed, "Truly wet."
Lascivious lout! He did it on purpose! I was embarrassed and waved my fist to hit him, but he easily
grabbed my hands.
He teased, "I was talking about the grass.What are you thinking about?"
He loved to play with words.I couldn‘t help but roll my eyes at him.
Did I look stupid to him? George chuckled and chortled, then lifted me off the ground.
"I prefer to do this on the bed."
"Shut up!" I scolded.
"You started it."
George was not to be outdone.
We kept on talking ambiguously and in riddles, trying to outwit each other, till we reached home.
As soon as we entered the apartment, he embraced me tightly.
His nature was completely revealed behind closed doors.He lowered his head and kissed me, holding
my face in one hand.He ripped off my clothes with the other hand and carried me to the bedroom.
When I woke up the next morning, I saw several hickeys on my body and his handprints were still on
my waist.I couldn‘t help but scold George.
My summer clothes were cool, sleeveless and thin and they could hide nothing.
My neck was now covered with hickeys like an embroidered scarf.It was proof enough of how
relentless and vicious he was in bed last night.
However, George said with an expression of innocence, "Don‘t blame me.I controlled my strength.I
can‘t help it if your skin is so delicate and soft, and oh so sweet...that even a gentle kiss will leave
marks."
I picked up a pillow and threw it at him.
"You are anything but gentle.You bit me all over like a savage beast!"
I stood in front of the wardrobe looking for suitable clothes to wear to hide my hickey‘s.
George walked over and picked out a white silk shirt and a silk scarf for me.I tried to match them, and it
looked good.
Not only did it hide my hickeys, but I still looked like a professional.
By the time I got changed, I had calmed down.
Then I grabbed my bag and went out.
Today, I had to go to Spacetime Finance to report on the progress of the case.
When I arrived at the parking lot of their company building, I took out a small mirror from my purse to fix
my lipstick.
Then I carefully tidied up my silk scarf to hide my love bites so that I would not have to deal with queer
stares.
Then, when I was satisfied that I was presentable, I got out of the car.I was reporting to Korbin, the
project director of Spacetime Finance.I had only met him a few times before, but I was well acquainted
with his assistant.
When she saw me, she gushed, "Did you receive any good news recently? You are glowing with
happiness!"
"Well, thanks to you, the case went well."
We arrived at Korbin‘s office and the assistant made a polite gesture and beckoned me in.
Korbin‘s attitude towards me was totally different from our first meeting.
Perhaps it was because Kendal and I were friends that he was polite to me.He personally served me
tea, and asked me to sit down with him.
"Miss Dewar, you don‘t have to come here in person.You are very responsible and our legal officers
raved over the quality of your detailed reports.If they need clarification on any matter, they will call or e–
mail you."
At that moment, Velma burst in and pointed at me angrily as she shouted, "Your lawyers are too
inefficient.How long has it been? Haven‘t you finished the investigation yet? Spacetime Finance is
willing to buy Fantail Entertainment and they‘re willing to sell.We have an understanding with each
other.So what‘s so difficult about drawing up a simple contract? How difficult can it be? Why is it taking
so long?"
As a lawyer myself, I knew how difficult it was to write a foolproof, legally binding contract.
If things were really that simple as she described, why would people need lawyers? My signature would
appear on the due diligence report.
If I failed to investigate every single detail in advance before they drawing up a contract and something
went wrong, I would be held accountable for it.
Anya had told me how much weight my signature carried on any document.
Even if the client or the target company specifically told me that it was a mere formality, I couldn‘t slack
off.
However, I didn‘t intend to explain this to Velma.
I simply replied, "You are right.We will speed up the process."
Velma was not satisfied.
"Don‘t think you can be arrogant just because you know my cousin.Let me tell you, Kendal was born a
gentleman and he has helped a lot of women.You are just the insignificant one of them.When he meets
a woman he is more interested in, he will forget who you are."
"Oh, I see.I‘ll talk to your cousin later and ask him who exactly he had generously helped before me."
Velma was so angry that she turned her head and ignored me.
After my meeting with Korbin, I happened to bump into Velma again on my way to Fantail
Entertainment.She looked at me and asked rudely, "Where is your car? I need a ride to Zhester
Technology."
It was on the same direction as I was going, so I agreed to give her a ride.
When Velma followed me to the garage and saw my car, she was amused.
"Did Kendal buy you this crappy car? One of his meals may cost more than this car.It seems that he
doesn‘t like you that much."
"A meal that costs more than this car? Does he eat gold for food perhaps? He must find it hard to
digest it."
"Humph, how idiotic of you!"
With a snort and a grunt, she sat on the passenger seat and stared out of the window, in order to limit
interaction with me.I stared at the back of her head and chuckled.
As expected, she was a spoiled brat.Her family was responsible for creating such a pampered
princess.
After a while, she suddenly said, "Actually, you are not so useless.You deserve my praise for at least
one thing."
"Oh? And what is that?"
"Remember the last time, you messed up George‘s company and got him into trouble? Well, his
parents finally seized the chance to reprimand him severely."
