After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back by Riverflow

Maria came out of the restroom, drying her hands, and spotted Sidney standing a short distance away, his dark eyes fixed on her. She flashed a smile. "What's wrong?"

Sidney's tone was cooler than usual. "What are you doing here?"

Maria walked slowly toward him, tilting her head slightly. "As your boss, I thought I'd check in on an employee's family. Is that not allowed?" Sidney replied, "It's not necessary."

"You're so cold," Maria teased, stepping a bit closer. "But that wasn't the case when we were at the hotel."

Sidney's expression instantly turned icy. "What are you trying to do?"

Seeing his tense and guarded look, Maria's smile widened. "Do you always do whatever I say?"

Sidney pressed his lips together, remaining silent.

Maria brushed her hair back over her shoulder. "I want you to kiss me."

Sidney's gaze grew colder, and he turned to leave without another word.

Maria couldn't help but laugh softly. "Let's see how long you can hold out, Sidney."
