He didn’t insist, and leisurely picked up his handkerchief to wipe his fingers. “I don’t know why you’re hesitating. Theodore Anderson is disabled and is about to lose the company. He’s no more useful than a stray dog. And you know who I am now, right? You should know what to do. Or is it that you’ve fallen in love with Theodore and don’t want to leave him?” @
The man said this with a smile. The meaning of his words was crystal clear.
Ariana’s posture hadn’t changed since the moment she had sat down. It wasn’t until he said this that she turned to him. “As the CEO of BRD Group, how could you have a crush on me? With that kind of status, you must have seen all kinds of beauties. It’s hard not to question your motives when you do all this just to get me.”

After some time, the calmness on Ariana’s face disappeared. She bit her lip and looked hesitant.
Meanwhile, the man had remained completely motionless.
Ariana finally picked up the pen and signed the contract. @
“Do you want me to be your lover or your wife?” she asked as she pushed the contract back across the table. Her head was tilted and she had a look of innocent expectation in her eyes.
After examining Ariana, he sneered. “It depends on your performance,” he said, reaching over the table and pinching her chin, hard.
His cold finger stroked her lips and she trembled slightly under his touch.
