Mr. Pretentious: Miss Valerius, He is Begging for a Title-Chapter 21: Not Pretending Anymore—Master Ford Falls for Her in Jealous Obsession

Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Not Pretending Anymore—Master Ford Falls for Her in Jealous Obsession
"Hmm? You seem disappointed?"
Sebastian Ford leaned over, pressing down the petite woman trapped in his embrace, his warm breath falling on her ear.
"You love me so much, being able to stay by my side now must be very blissful."
Eleanor Valerius felt a bit ticklish, shrinking in his arms as she said, "Yes, you went out of your way to transfer me to the secretary’s office. I can’t express how happy that made me. I was thinking of thanking you properly, but you never give me the chance."
Even though it was all just pretense, she had to play along with his flirtation.
After all, she hadn’t anticipated that her excuse to ask him would hit on his kink perfectly.
But realizing they were in the office, it would be easy to get caught.
"Since we’re in the company, you’re Mr. Ford, and I’m Assistant Valerius, we should keep it professional."
Eleanor took the opportunity to break free from his grasp, pretending to be angry and ashamed as she said, "I’ll restrain my involuntary feelings for you, Mr. Ford, so please don’t be soft-hearted and give me a chance, or getting entangled with me would be quite a terrifying thing."
Sebastian squinted his eyes and chuckled softly, clearly seeing through her attempt to use him and run.
However, the opportunity was indeed given by him voluntarily.
He was looking forward to how Eleanor would tempt his heart.
...
Eleanor became the little assistant by Master Ford’s side.
For the Lancaster Family, this was good news.
The next day.
Jenson Lancaster shamelessly came to the Ford Group, which didn’t surprise Eleanor.
Lunch was reserved at a Western restaurant, and Jenson Lancaster invited Master Ford in Eleanor’s name, and Sebastian Ford showed him respect.
As they sat down, Jenson Lancaster intentionally sat close to Eleanor.
He seemed to have completely forgotten about the night he offered her to Mr. Paxton.
Watching him deliberately flaunt affection, Eleanor could only endure the nausea and play along.
"Master Ford, today’s meal isn’t exactly business-related."
Jenson Lancaster’s respectful demeanor was a deliberate attempt to get closer like family.
"Oh? Then what’s the personal matter?"
Sebastian laughed lightly.
He sat a bit far away, unable to touch even Eleanor under the table.
But watching her smile and chat beside Jenson Lancaster, he realized what a great actress this little fox was.
He, as the lover, didn’t want the same treatment as other men.
"Eleanor and I are preparing for our wedding, a big affair for both the Lancaster and Valerius families, and our lifelong happiness."
Jenson Lancaster shamelessly grabbed Eleanor’s hand, yet his gaze was fixed on Sebastian Ford.
"I’ll be visiting often, but I promise not to affect her work. Master Ford, you’re Eleanor’s uncle, so in the future, we’ll be one family too. I hope you can give some advice on our wedding."
"Alright."
Sebastian had a good attitude, self-positioned as a kind and friendly elder.
But his eyes were fixed on Eleanor, feeling jealous and angry about being the secret lover.
Was he too deeply into the role or did he want to turn fiction into reality?
He suddenly regretted refusing Eleanor’s initiative yesterday.
Eleanor felt the sticky warmth in Sebastian Ford’s gaze.
Not knowing why, she smiled at him.
...
Before returning to the company.
"Working by Master Ford’s side, seize the opportunity. If you manage to negotiate cooperation between the Lancaster and Ford families, you and Mrs. Lancaster can enjoy the benefits."
Jenson was just short of writing ’use’ on his face.
However, Eleanor played dumb and cooperated.
"Jenson, why don’t you show me the project details the Lancaster Family wants to discuss? Maybe I can mention it in front of Master Ford, and he might be interested."
She needed to gather negotiation leverage for her break-up plan too.
In the afternoon.
While Eleanor was working, she suddenly received 99 red roses.
Along with a hotel buffet afternoon tea.
Jenson Lancaster seemed to wish his name would echo throughout the CEO’s office.
Eleanor just found it amusing.
Jenson Lancaster seemed more eager to court Sebastian Ford than she was!
"Assistant Valerius, your fiancé spoils you so much, I’m really envious."
Just then, the office door opened.
The employees in the secretary’s office instantly concealed their smiles and got back to work.
Holding the roses, Eleanor suddenly met Sebastian Ford’s burning gaze.
She paused for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Shall I prepare afternoon tea for Mr. Ford?"
Sebastian’s calm demeanor was inscrutable.
"Throw the flowers away, they smell terrible."
Eleanor: "Oh."
The office atmosphere appeared normal.
Only Mason Monroe, who had been with Master Ford the longest, noticed it.
Master Ford was in a bad mood.
After work.
Eleanor was preparing to pack up when the secretary came over with a serious expression: "Assistant Valerius, you made a serious mistake in this afternoon’s documents. Mr. Ford wants you to personally explain."
Puzzled, she knocked and entered the office.
By then, the employees in the secretary’s office had already left.
The desk was piled with documents.
Sebastian Ford seemed a bit tired, resting with his eyes closed.
His suit jacket was draped over a chair, tie slightly loosened, and his shirt sleeves unbuttoned.
From being proper and abstinent, he exuded a subtle hint of allure.
Eleanor inexplicably felt the air become a bit hot.
"Mr. Ford... Did I make a mistake in my work? Can it be dealt with tomorrow?"
Jenson was waiting for her to try on wedding dresses.
"Are you in a hurry to leave?"
Sebastian interrupted her coldly, tapping his fingers on the desk: "Come over and see for yourself where you went wrong."
Eleanor slowly walked over, unguardedly turning her back to Sebastian, bowing over the desk to look through the contract.
Suddenly, without warning, Sebastian leaned over and lifted her onto the desk.
Startled, Eleanor inadvertently swept the documents onto the floor.
It was then she realized Sebastian had tricked her.
"What is Master Ford doing?"
Her voice tensed, sensing the danger from him.
Sebastian removed his tie and leaned down to suppress her, his warm breath lingering on her neck as he rasped, "Your lover feels neglected and uncomfortable, needing your personal comfort."
Here?
"But tonight I..."
Eleanor wanted to refuse.
"Is your fiancé that important? Can’t you stay for me?"
Sebastian, like an enchanting devil entwining her, dropped kisses all over.
"Another day? I don’t want to right now..."
"Do you think I’ll wait? The gratitude you mentioned, I want it now."
Pressing her down, Sebastian’s crimson gaze seduced her.
With unremitting effort, he slowly broke through her defenses.
Too sudden!
Yet Eleanor didn’t evade him.
That night he was the cure that saved her; her intimacy with him was no longer a stranger feared, but another kind of fear of him.
The quiet office was filled with entangled breaths.
The cold on her back, and heat in the front.
Suddenly, the phone that had fallen to the ground rang.
It was Jenson Lancaster’s name.
"The phone..."
Eleanor subconsciously spoke.
Instantly, Sebastian, dissatisfied with her distraction, pinched her face, kissing her, his voice hoarse and indistinct.
"Behave, focus."
In the formal office, the two entangled freely.
Meanwhile, the phone rang beside them.
Like an accompaniment, it was ignored.
Until Sebastian released her, and like a fish out of water, Eleanor took a deep breath.
Sebastian carried her from the desk to a more comfortable office chair, covering her body with a coat.
He unexpectedly picked up her phone and called back Jenson Lancaster.
It connected!
Eleanor glanced over, instantly covering her mouth in panic, not daring to let the other side hear her lingering breaths.
