Chapter 923: Jessica (part one)

"Cousin? When did you mention that to me? Why can't I remember?"

Shaun looked at her in bewilderment. He wondered since when had he got such a bad memory.

Ah! Haven't I told you? My bad. I must have forgotten to do so. Can you go home on your own today? I want to visit my cousin. I have been away from this city for so long after all. I miss her so much," said Melissa as she rested her hands on Shaun's hips in a flirty and charming manner.

Alright. You can have some fun with your cousin. But listen, don't try to seduce other men. Are we clear on that?" In reaction to what she did, Shaun grabbed one of her breasts and looked at it lustfully. Then, he started to play with her plump bosom wickedly and presumptuously.

"Don't be ridiculous. I love nobody but you, sweetie." The lady raised her eyebrows seductively before wetting her lips with the tip of her tongue.

"I know. How can I allow any other man to touch your pussy, enter you and satisfy your sexual desire?" A confident laugh escaped from Shaun. He could feel his flesh getting harder as he looked at Melissa intensely.

"Watch your mouth, Shaun. Otherwise, I'm gonna get angry." Melissa glowered at the man with her lips puckered. She might be bold and open but she wasn't as vulgar as him. It was embarrassing. It felt like her reputation was getting compromised whenever he talked.

"Well, you are not that innocent whenever you lie in bed with me and beg me to fuck you hard." He didn't treat Melissa's disapproval seriously and continued to talk dirty.

"Stop. How dare you talk to me that way." Melissa's face blushed in shame. The lecherous man was getting uncontrollably worse. However, he was the one she had to rely on for now. She couldn't push him away even if she wanted to, could she? She was clearly aware of where she stood. She was a penniless woman with no family or friend to watch over her back but with an enemy to fight with.

"Don't you see that I'm obsessed about you? You should be happy because I just like you too much. That's the only reason why I don't allow you to flirt with other men." One thing for sure was that enchantment was different from love. Though Shaun was totally into Melissa, he pretty much knew that he wasn't in love with her yet. Thus, he said 'like'.

"Do you like me that much?" On the other hand, Melissa was smart too. So she used 'like' rather than 'love' as well. Love would be too strong to describe their relationship. She and Shaun were no more than two people using each other. She managed to remain calm and reasonable about that fact and avoided relating such emotion to their affair.

"Why not? Don't you believe me? Only those eunuchs will ignore you once your voluptuous body is on the bed." The lewd man lecherously smiled. He reluctantly withdrew his hand from her breast for fear that he might not be able to keep himself from having sex with her again. He wouldn't even bother to control himself in normal situations. The only thing he cared about was satisfying himself. Today was an exception though. He had to return to H City as soon as possible, otherwise, Kompass Group would be taken over by others. The commerce world was as treacherous and dangerous as battlefields. Anything could happen within just a second.

"Fuck off. Don't touch me again." Melissa wished to laugh out loud but stopped on second thought. According to what Shaun said, he just liked her sexy body and her wantonness. That perception both angered and confused her at the same time. 'Am I really that bad? Can I ever be loved by any decent man?' Her thoughts went on and on. For Pete's sake! Even the most wicked and irresponsible man, Shaun, couldn't stomach to love her. A sudden surge of jealousy hit her nerves over Daisy's luck. How on earth did she capture Edward's heart, enchant her cousin, and even steal Shaun's attention?

Do you really want me to leave?" said Shaun while staring at her. "Oh yeah! You mean it. Goodbye." Then he burst into laughter. He packed his things and walked out without even a single word. Outside his assistant was already waiting for him. Seriously, if he hadn't anticipated another quick sex with her, he wouldn't even have stayed there until that moment, as he'd better hit the road as soon as possible.

Melissa sank into the couch tiredly after she saw Shaun leave. 'Am I doing the right thing by seducing Shaun and pretending to live a splendid life?' she asked herself. 'I could get myself killed by that cruel Edward. He never shows mercy to those who dare to provoke him and defy his authority.' Giving up sounded like a good choice at that point but then she was aware that she had already burned too many bridges. She couldn't go back.

"Mr. Mu, I was told that Shaun had already gone back to H City," said Luke. He came there to report to Edward as soon as he got the news. He knew that time was gold in the business world and he didn't dare to harm their CEO's interest with something as simple as negligence.

"Yeah? Has he gone back already? Everything is under control. Aaron, go and purchase the shares of MY Mall. Be careful, the share prices should be stabilized so that Shaun won't notice any change or abnormality," Edward turned to the other guy inside his office and said. His eyes were filled with disdain as he talked. He was a beautiful mixture of both evil and wise.

"Consider it done. By the way, what should we do about Kompass Group? Shall we continue to purchase their shares? It might be difficult to do that since sixty percent of their shares are owned by the Gao Family. They are not easy to deal with." Aaron frowned. He knew that those people from the Gao Family weren't that stupid to just sell their shares.

Stop overthinking for now. We should concentrate on purchasing every inch of MY Mall. As for Kompass, we'd better become its major shareholder. That would be fun." Edward was all fired up with his ideas. However, he still hoped not to make the results too bad and embarrassing for the former president of Kompass, Shaun's father.Business-wise, he had a not bad relationship with the old man. Therefore, he still wouldn't want to make an enemy of him just because of his worthless son.

"What? Do you really want to work with him?" Aaron was confused. He wondered why would Edward do such a thing. Hadn't Edward known that the Kompass Group was headquartered in H City?
