Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Tempting Kiss—She Wants the Body, Not the Heart
Behind the door.
Sebastian Ford stood there, his large hands supporting Eleanor Valerius.
Eleanor Valerius adjusted to the floating position, curling up daintily in his arms.
If they were seen, the affair would be laid bare.
"Aren’t you afraid?"
Sebastian Ford lowered his voice and asked in her ear.
"I’m so scared~ You have to hide me well."
Eleanor Valerius coquettishly played along.
The little fox’s flirting methods truly hit his sweet spot.
Sebastian Ford suppressed her, simultaneously using his shoe to hold the door closed.
At this moment, Jenson Lancaster tried to open the door from outside, puzzled, he asked, "Master Ford? Are you still inside?"
"Mm, Young Master Lancaster, is there..."
Sebastian Ford paused mid-sentence.
Because Eleanor Valerius suddenly kissed his Adam’s apple.
Her lips and tongue were soft, as if savoring him, leaving moist marks.
Sebastian Ford’s eyes slowly turned dark crimson.
He obliged her by lifting his head, his large hands also gripping her in response.
Jenson Lancaster stood outside the door, completely unaware.
"Master Ford, I came back to ask you again, is Eleanor handling the promotional collaboration for you?"
As they kissed, Eleanor Valerius gently bit him.
Sebastian Ford’s breath turned slightly heavy, he replied lowly, "I’ll leave such small matters entirely to her."
Just like now, she was fully in control of the kissing session.
"Alright, I understand, I’ll discuss it with Eleanor then."
Jenson Lancaster turned to look for Eleanor Valerius but thought of calling her.
"Young Master Lancaster, Assistant Valerius is very busy right now."
Sebastian Ford stopped him from disturbing, hoarsely reminding, "Wait for her to contact you."
After Jenson Lancaster left.
Sebastian Ford raised his long leg to close the door, holding Eleanor Valerius and sitting back on the sofa, as he needed both hands to hold her.
Throughout these few minutes, Eleanor Valerius had been kissing to please him.
She had kissed Sebastian Ford to the point he couldn’t bear it, his passionate lips and tongue began to ravage her skin.
The temperature in the meeting room rose.
Eleanor Valerius was gradually kissed by Sebastian Ford until her breath quickened, having to stop and temporarily cede control to him.
She deliberately teased him, playing with excitement.
As long as Sebastian Ford wasn’t angrily wanting to bully her, she could handle his limits.
Her proactive appeasement was also due to fear of Sebastian Ford.
After all, a bedside companion had a time-limited value.
She must seize the opportunity to execute her plan.
"Mr. Ford, you have a meeting later."
Suddenly, Eleanor Valerius gently pushed away the buried Sebastian Ford from her chest.
Only then did she notice that her shirt buttons were undone.
"No indulgence under daylight."
Eleanor Valerius cupped Sebastian Ford’s handsome face, lowered her head, and kissed his thin lips.
"Mr. Ford, calm down a bit."
Sebastian Ford squinted his eyes, loosened his grip, allowing Eleanor Valerius to get up and tidy her clothes.
He realized that he truly could be lured by her to lose control.
His interest in her went beyond physical need, more so was a heart-wrenching desire.
Accompanied by an accelerated heartbeat, it seemed like Eleanor Valerius’ plunge into his heart rippled.
Meanwhile, Eleanor Valerius seized the moment when no one was outside and hurried to the restroom.
The reflection in the mirror showed flushed cheeks and misty eyes.
She cupped cold water in her hands, gently patted her face to calm the spreading warmth within.
The lingering kiss was a teasing that easily led to trouble.
"Calm down; while coaxing him with kisses, be invested, and upon finishing, clearheadedly withdraw. If I fail, the affair with him becomes passive. I am scheming against him, focusing on the physical, not emotional."
Staring at herself in the mirror, Eleanor Valerius strengthened her resolve.
...
Eleanor Valerius went to the PR department to help prepare for the event.
However, knowing it was a Lancaster collaboration, Julia Ford showed no interest in participating.
She took advantage of Jenson Lancaster’s presence to call over Sharon Sinclair.
Nobody expected that Eleanor Valerius, assigned to the secretary office for punishment due to mistakes, would actually receive a promotion.
People began to subtly or overtly try to please her; she smiled brightly, throughout only directing Sharon Sinclair.
After two days, the event planning was finalized and ready to proceed.
Eleanor Valerius remained diligent in her work, handling everything personally.
On the day, the Ford Group event held in the Lancaster Family mall was lively.
Julia Ford accompanied her mother shopping and couldn’t help but glance at it.
"Why didn’t you participate in the PR department’s event?"
"Originally it was mine, but I didn’t want to collaborate with Eleanor Valerius; now she’s the event planner."
Upon hearing this, Sophia Ford was immediately displeased.
Her daughter was overshadowed by someone like Eleanor Valerius?
Next was the critical photo-interview segment.
Eleanor Valerius changed clothes backstage but suddenly couldn’t open the door.
"Can someone help me?"
The eldest Ford daughter’s deliberate lock ensured that no one dared to assist her.
Subsequently, Sophia Ford led her daughter onto the stage.
Julia Ford replaced Eleanor Valerius for the interview, the media credited the activity to the Ford missy.
At this moment.
Sebastian Ford appeared, saw his elder sister and Julia Ford but not Eleanor Valerius.
Despite his position, Mason Monroe was tasked to find her.
"Sebastian, why personally attend such a minor company event?"
Sophia Ford’s inquiry carried a probing implication.
"I had engagements, passing by."
Sebastian Ford saw Mason Monroe safely escort Eleanor Valerius out.
He squinted slightly, countered, "Why is the eldest sister here too?"
"Julia is the group leader in the Ford Group’s PR department; her stellar work performance naturally warrants support."
Indeed, the eldest sister had stolen Eleanor Valerius’ credit for Julia.
Sebastian Ford couldn’t openly back her; instead, he praised Julia Ford.
At this point, after two days of frustration, Sharon Sinclair finally seized a chance to mock: "Miss Ford truly represents the elite heiress; some people take chicken feathers as arrows, ultimately futilely working for others."
Facing cold sneers, Eleanor Valerius remained composed.
She knew she lacked the qualification to stir drama.
She wouldn’t rely on Sebastian Ford nor overstep her status to make unreasonable demands.
Following the event.
Sebastian Ford secretly took Eleanor Valerius out for a meal.
The restaurant was cleared, ensuring no disturbances.
The sumptuous lunch and his gentleness seemed implicit consolation.
This was the extent of what Sebastian Ford would do for her.
Similar to their relationship, it couldn’t see the light of day.
Eleanor Valerius obediently ate her fill.
"Thank you, Master Ford, I should return to the company now."
She stood to leave when Sebastian Ford instinctively stopped her, inadvertently knocking over her purse.
Amidst the fallen belongings, there was a pharmacy receipt.
Eleanor Valerius panicked, trying to pick it up, but Sebastian Ford was quicker.
"You bought two pregnancy tests that day?"
Sebastian Ford slightly squinted, his voice icy yet detached while he said, "You conjured a pregnancy test in the company claiming to deceive me, orchestrated Jenson Lancaster to catch me, using him for your plan not to force you into breaking the engagement."
Eleanor Valerius: "..."
Why does he always discover her schemes so easily!
The consequences of lying could be severe.
"Yes, both pregnancy tests were mine."
Eleanor Valerius looked at him, confessed, "I forgot to take medicine after our first night; worried I might be pregnant, I tested twice, and the second result was negative."
"The positive result from the first test was your deliberate false evidence to deceive me."
Sebastian Ford’s gaze was cold, not questioning but affirming.
In that instant, Eleanor Valerius felt she couldn’t contain her emotions anymore.
"I deliberately deceived you; Master Ford, how do you plan to discipline me?"
Seeing her stubborn look with reddened eyes.
Sebastian Ford’s heart unexpectedly ached.
