Mr. Pretentious: Miss Valerius, He is Begging for a Title-Chapter 28: Tonight Master Ford Warms Her Bed

Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Tonight Master Ford Warms Her Bed
Sebastian Ford unexpectedly leaned in, pressing Eleanor Valerius beneath him, kissing her fiercely.
Applying medicine to the knee hurt too much.
Eleanor couldn’t fully immerse herself in his kiss.
As his tongue lulled hers into numbness, it gradually distracted her from the pain.
She persevered through the medicine application in the comforting embrace of Sebastian’s lips and tongue.
Sebastian propped himself up with his arms, watching Eleanor beneath him, panting gently.
Her nightgown was pulled up around her waist, revealing her pale skin.
"Does it still hurt?"
Shrouded in Sebastian’s shadow, Eleanor’s voice was soft: "A bit better now."
Sebastian’s large hand rested on her knee, slowly moved upward, enjoying the delicate sensation that he couldn’t get enough of.
At that moment, Mason Monroe delivered the takeout.
He was indeed someone trained by Master Ford, equally capable of climbing through windows to the balcony.
When he inadvertently glimpsed the scene inside, he dropped the takeout and vaulted out again.
The aroma made Eleanor swallow involuntarily.
"Master Ford, I’m hungry."
Sebastian temporarily withdrew his hand, holding her as they sat on the wicker chair on the balcony.
Eleanor obediently sat in his embrace, and as she ate, her eyes lit up.
"The taste of sneaking food isn’t bad, right?"
"Mm, I’ve never had a midnight snack. It’s really delicious."
Sebastian lowered his head, noticing her smile was very genuine.
Sometimes she was less like a little fox, more like a pitiable stray kitten.
After eating her fill, Eleanor pondered how to thank him.
Sebastian had already pressed her back onto the bed.
Initially, the sneakiness of the night was perfectly balanced.
But now his hand ventured inside her nightgown, and the balance tipped towards danger.
"Want to enjoy something else after the midnight snack?"
Sebastian kissed her in the hollow of her neck, nibbling open her nightwear, tempting, "Want to keep your lover here overnight?"
"I want to keep my lover here overnight."
Eleanor trembled slightly, not out of fear, but playfully explained, "Can my lover stay and sleep with me? My knee still hurts, my waist and legs hurt too, it’s tough to bear..."
"You’re quite enjoying it; you ask me to apply medicine, send food, and warm the bed to accompany you?"
"I want... will you?"
Sebastian looked at Eleanor’s captivatingly close bright eyes and charming smile.
In the next instant, he directly embraced Eleanor and flipped her to lie on him.
Yet his hands were still quite restless.
"Thank you, Master Ford."
Eleanor cozily laid her head on his chest, closing her eyes.
She thought it would feel unfamiliar, but unexpectedly she soon felt sleepy.
Sebastian caressed Eleanor’s head, lightly laughing after noticing she had fallen asleep.
"Little fox has no defenses against me, she really trusts me."
In the softness of the bed, embraced by the beauty.
He should have gotten up and left, yet he lay there without moving.
Bed companions are only needed when getting into bed.
But holding Eleanor to sleep like this, it seemed quite pleasant?
Sebastian closed his eyes, and surprisingly, he fell asleep there as well.
Mason was waiting downstairs all along.
He knew Master Ford never stayed outside overnight; what made tonight an exception?
At the break of dawn.
Sebastian sharply hears footsteps of a servant, opening his eyes awake.
At that moment, Eleanor was still curled up against him, sleeping soundly.
When he got up, he moved gently, covering her with a blanket before glancing at her knee injury.
Mason watched Master Ford climb down through the window, not daring to ask anything.
Sebastian simply returned home to freshen up and change clothes, then headed straight to the office.
...
Eleanor woke up, instinctively reaching over, finding the space already empty.
She opened her eyes, as if Sebastian’s companionship last night was a dream.
No matter what his reason was, his gentle care touched her deeply.
When Eleanor arrived at the office, she received a notice for late attendance.
Mason: "Mr. Ford personally checked the post."
"..."
How could she have thought Sebastian was gentle?
Eleanor felt disgruntled; indeed, lovers are only gentle in bed.
However, Sebastian was quite busy with work today, not stopping with various meetings.
The bored Assistant Valerius went to the cafeteria to eat early.
Enemies cross paths.
She sat by the window, next to Sharon Sinclair and the publicity department staff.
Sharon also noticed her, deliberately saying to colleagues, "The previous proposal was ruined and needs to be redone, the overtime was hard for everyone, I’ll treat everyone to coffee."
Mentioning overtime stirred anger among publicity department colleagues.
"Eleanor didn’t do it deliberately," Sharon feigned persuasion, "But I didn’t expect that after her mistake, we’d suffer, but it’s understandable, considering Valerius Family and Ford Family are kind of relatives."
Sharon’s incitement of resentment caused the publicity department staff to glare at Eleanor.
Hearing it, Eleanor didn’t care, finishing her meal and preparing to leave.
At this moment, a colleague from the publicity department deliberately bumped into her, splashing greasy soup onto her dress.
"Sorry."
It was Holly Dunn, who had made a mistake last time and framed Eleanor, maliciously said, "We’ll accompany you to the bathroom to clean it up."
Eleanor couldn’t fend off the crowd and was blocked into the bathroom.
Closing the door, verbal humiliation ensued, typical workplace bullying.
Sharon hid outside, instigating from a distance, wanting to see if Eleanor would cry to her lover about being wronged.
Eleanor was surrounded, yet she lowered her head, not uttering a word.
Provoking her was like provoking cotton.
This sense of defeat made them feel it was uninteresting, better to go back for a nap.
Eleanor watched as Holly entered the bathroom, slowly raising her eyes; her revenge was targeted.
She directly used a mop to block the door, picked up a bucket of dirty water, as if to return their previous filthy insults, poured it all over them.
Holly screamed inside, unable to get out.
"Sharon, how could you treat Miss Dunn like this?"
Eleanor deliberately pinched her voice, pretending to be outside advising, "Even if you want to replace Miss Dunn, you shouldn’t do this!"
Thus, Holly inside heard that the dirty water was splashed by Sharon.
Once she was let out, she rushed back to the publicity department, grabbed Sharon’s hair.
Sharon wasn’t one to be bullied, and she and Holly wrestled and fought together.
Both cursed, revealing the plot against Eleanor.
To watch the spectacle, Eleanor purposely stayed in the publicity department to observe.
When the situation escalated, Assistant Monroe personally came to handle it.
Holly was dismissed, Sharon’s true nature was exposed.
Julia Ford didn’t expect she misunderstood Eleanor, inquiring, "Assistant Monroe, is Eleanor going back to the publicity department?"
"Assistant Valerius still has to remain in the secretary office as a punishment."
Mason seriously stated, "Mr. Ford’s orders."
Julia was puzzled, what kind of punishment would require her uncle to handle personally?
...
Eleanor returned to the office.
She was surprised to see the usually diligent female secretaries were all touching up their makeup.
"After Mr. Ford returned home, this is his first business trip; the Emberfall project is important, he definitely needs capable assistants. Besides Assistant Monroe, the best here is Miss Laura, I guess Mr. Ford will definitely take you."
"Not necessarily, everyone has a chance."
Hearing about this, Eleanor quickly ran towards the pantry to make coffee.
At this moment, even Mason was waiting for Mr. Ford’s decision.
"There are many documents to handle for the project, is Mr. Ford taking Assistant Valerius?"
Sebastian closed his eyes, his voice low: "Second brother’s design wants to kill me, why would I take her along."
How to avoid frightening her.
Unexpectedly, Eleanor knocked and entered with a tray of coffee.
"Mr. Ford."
Seeing her eager demeanor, Mason wisely retreated.
Sebastian raised an eyebrow, watching Eleanor come over, she personally fed him a sip of coffee.
"Will you take me to Emberfall?"
Her request surprised Sebastian a bit.
"What’s Assistant Valerius’ advantage? Making coffee outside won’t be easy."
Eleanor blinked, confidently smiling: "Mr. Ford, I’m great at warming the bed."
