“I can’t do that.Natalie, when will the sadness go away? I’m just not used to the fact that Garrett’s not in my life anymore.But I’ll get used to it someday, right?”
Natalie looked at her sympathetically.
“I can’t give you an answer.If I chose to break up with Sebastian after finding out that he was actually Brandon Larson, I have no idea what my life would have been like now.Maybe I would’ve felt bad about it for a while, but I just know I’d find another guy, get married, and have children.I can’t make a mess of my life just because of a single man.”
Laney took a deep breath and smiled with relief.
“I see.”
After preparing dinner and sharing it with Laney, Natalie left.She had come to check how Laney was doing.
Seeing that Laney was going to be fine, she was relieved.
As for the issue between her and Garrett, Natalie believed that Laney would find the answer herself.
Laney knew that the only way she could get rid of her rambling thoughts was to bury herself in work.
Fortunately, the new members of Pole Shadow trained by her finally got their first order.They were tasked to get the financial statements of a club.
However, this club was protected by local gangs, thus Laney’s subordinates suffered a setback on their first mission.One subordinate was even captured.
Given the gravity of the situation, Laney went to the club disguised as a bar girl to rescue him.
The rescue mission went smoothly.
With Laney’s help, the subordinate managed to escape through the back door.But just as Laney was about to slip away through the entrance, the door to a private room next to her was suddenly opened from the inside.
“Hmm…”
A crazed-looking Garrett jumped out of the room and threw himself at Laney “What the hell are you doing, Garrett?”
Laney wanted to push him away, but she soon noticed that there was something wrong with him.His face was flushed and his body was burning hot.
Suddenly, she heard a woman’s voice from inside the private room.
Laney frowned and asked, “Did… Did someone drug you?”
Before Garrett could respond, a middle-aged, heavily made-up woman came out of the private room.She pulled a long face and whined, “I didn’t expect that Mr.Harding would be really difficult to deal with.I’ve never seen anyone so stubborn even after being drugged.Is he gay? Why does he run away as though my girls are monsters?”
She wiped the sweat on her neck with a silk scarf and glanced at Laney approvingly.
“You came at the right time.He seems to like you.Go and get a room upstairs.Take good care of Mr.Harding, understand?”
After saying that, the woman left with a complacent look on her face.
Laney pursed her lips tightly.
Before she could refuse, Garrett hugged her tightly, pressing his burning face against her neck.
He breathed in Laney’s scent and said hoarsely, “You smell just like the woman who dumped me.”
Garrett was also having a hard time lately.
After being rejected by Laney, he knew he couldn’t keep pestering her, but he couldn’t forget about her either.
Tonight, he was supposed to meet a client in the club.In low spirits, Garrett planned to leave as soon as the contract was signed.
The woman he was meeting with was the representative of the partnering company.
During the negotiation, she deliberately stood up and poured tea for Garrett.
At first, Garrett didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary.
However, as she bent over to pour him some tea, she deliberately pulled down her collar, revealing the top half of her plump breasts Garrett couldn’t help but feel disgusted.He turned his face away, took a sip of tea, and said irritably, “If you want to talk business, go straight to the point.”
The woman probably didn’t catch the anger in his voice.She batted her eyelashes at him coquettishly and said, “Mr.Harding, don’t you remember me? We met in a business meeting three years ago, and I’ve never stopped thinking about you since then…”
In that moment, Garrett lost any semblance of patience he had left.He stood up, splashed the tea on the woman’s face, and scolded, “If you wanted to talk about cooperating, you shouldn’t have played these little tricks.Since you’re clearly not here to talk business, I’ll take it as a sign that you’ve given up the opportunity to work together with us.”
After saying that, he took his coat and left directly, ignoring the woman’s shocked expression.Now, Garrett was even more annoyed.
Not knowing where else to go, he decided to book himself another luxurious private room and ordered some wine.
After all, he was a VIP at this club.He had planned to get plastered, but soon, he felt an indescribably heat all over his body.
Coincidentally, a middle-aged woman entered the room with two bar girls.
All of them were wearing heavy make-up and skimpy clothes.
Garrett’s eyes flashed in annoyance.
Why did they all have to wear such heavy makeup? Laney never put on any makeup at all.She had a natural beauty about her.
Garrett imagined her delicate face must be very soft, but he couldn’t know for sure because he hadn’t ki*sed her yet.
The middle-aged woman kept pushing the two girls into Garrett’s arms.This only served to anger him even further.
He pushed them away and rushed out the door.
Without looking where he was going, he ran straight into a woman.

Smelling the familiar scent, he looked up and saw that it was indeed Laney.
Gradually, his eyes became clear.
“It’s you…”
“You can let go of me now—”
Laney frowned and was about to push him away, but Garrett held onto her more tightly.
Without warning, the man pressed his lips against hers and ki*sed her forcefully.
Garrett was too immersed in his sexual desire to care.
The second he realized that it was Laney in his arms, the last ounce of his self-control disappeared and he ki*sed her crazily, sucking the tip of her tongue hungrily.
Laney had never ki*sed someone before, so she didn’t know how.She went stiff and just let him ki*s her, her legs going weak.
Before she knew it, Garrett had pulled her into the elevator.
The top floor of the club consisted of rooms for the guests.
Garrett was a VIP member of this club, so the presidential suite was always reserved for him.
The two stumbled into the suite, entangled in each other’s arms.
Garrett scooped Laney onto the bed and hurriedly tried to take her clothes off.
Trembling slightly, Laney closed her eyes.She could’ve knocked Garrett out with the snap of her fingers, but it never even crossed her mind to resist his advances.She had never been so intimate with a man before, but she was willing to give herself to Garrett.
He was the only man she had ever liked, and she had been missing him a lot lately.
Laney knew this was wrong, but she suddenly remembered what Natalie had said to her.
Since she couldn’t forget him, she should just cherish what she had with him now and simply enjoy herself.His touch lit her up like a fire.
She wrapped her arms around Garrett’s neck instinctively, closed her eyes, and indulged herself in his ki*ses.
“Well, it’s just one night…”
Laney tried to convince herself in her mind.
