CEO's Revengeful Queen novel Chapter 53

Giselle listened to the dial tone on the phone after Bettina had hung up. She felt a little dejected. Bettina had not given her the chance to ask any more questions after she had said, ‘Annetta White’. It perplexed Giselle how an ugly girl like Annetta would be suitable for the boss. The boss liked to play with various girls, but that did not mean that he would like Annetta. 

Giselle didn't give it much thought. Bettina had never made a mistake since they began working together. Despite her confusion, she did not dwell on it. Bettina would not question a choice like Annetta, who was so hideous, as long as Bettina could help her make money. Even if there was someone more repulsive than her, she would gladly submit. 

After Bettina left, Annetta felt shy to ask Ethan to feed her coffee. "Ethan, I'll do it myself," she said as she reached for the cup in Ethan's hand. However, Ethan did not give it to her.

Annetta froze for a moment, then heard a man's voice beside her ear. "Did you do that intentionally?" 

Annetta had been so preoccupied with provoking Bettina that she had completely overlooked the man who had been watching her. His piercing gaze had seen right through her ruse. "You saw that?" she asked, sticking her tongue out at him. Then she muttered, "I don't like other women lusting after my man! Bettina is clearly lusting after you, and she has no good intentions for you. You're so smart, I'm sure that you can see that?"

Annetta deliberately pretended to be angry and jealous. This way, the man would clearly be able to sense how important he was to her. Furthermore, she was telling the truth. Bettina had always been in love with Ethan. She dreamt of being his wife and the woman of the Harris family. But this could only be a dream and nothing else!

Even without Annetta, Ethan would never fall for Bettina. 

"If you don't like her, I can dismiss her." Indeed, Ethan was not angry at Annetta for deliberately making Bettina angry. Instead, he was shielding her.

Bettina would be so pissed off if she found out!

Of course, Ethan's protectiveness also warmed Annetta's heart. She made the first move to kiss him. She blushed as she backed away after she had kissed him. Even though she had done everything lovers did with Ethan in her previous life, at that time, she had not willingly done so. She had done it under Ethan's coercion.

Therefore...to put it awkwardly, even though her soul was 25 years old, she still felt a little uncomfortable about such intimate things.

The man suddenly tightened his grip around her waist just as she was about to step back. His dark pupils gazed at her, and he asked in a flirty voice, "That's it?"

Not enough? What more did he want?

 Annetta felt as if the arm holding her was burning through her thin fabric and searing her skin. Annetta couldn't help but shudder. 

As the romantic atmosphere spread around him, Annetta's eyes gradually became misty.

The man lifted her chin with one hand, and he studied her face. His eyes fell from her eyes to the tip of her nose, then down to her lips. Annetta felt like his gaze could burn her clothes and he was watching her naked.

Annetta gulped, and her mouth was a little dry.

In the next second, the man's lips touched hers, which was different from hers. With the momentum to engulf everything, the man was torturing and invading her, almost swallowing her whole body. 

After a while, Ethan finally let her go. His eyes were filled with zeal. Annetta could clearly sense the shift in him, but he kept his cool and let her go.

 Annetta reflected on her previous existence. She had always felt that Ethan had forced her to be intimate with him without her consent. But, now that she thought about it, in her previous life, she had always provoked him by doing things he despised, causing him to lose his rationality.

In front of her, the man who had always been calm and self-controlled would lose control.

Only the most important person in his life could make him lose control like this. 

Annetta bit her teeth like she had made a very important decision. She gently whispered in the man's ear, "Do you want me?"
