Herbert could hardly believe the words were coming out of Trevon's mouth. In Herbert's mind, Trevon was the epitome of proper etiquette. Even though they were cousins, and their families-the main and the fourth branch-got along well, Herbert couldn't just call Trevon coz in the company. He had to address him as Mr. Brady. But here was Trevon, casually uttering sister-in-law instead of leaving it to his secretary. That, coupled with their overly affectionate gestures, was a shock. Herbert had heard rumors about Trevon's allection for Selina, but that had only been hearsay. Now, witnessing it firsthand. was a total mindblower.

"Yeah. There's a charity auction this afternoon. Herbert managed to refocus and started briefing about work.

Usually, Trevon never attended such events; even sending Andrew as a representative was considered giving the organizers quite some face. With Selina stepping in as Trevon's temporary secretary at Insight Group, Andrew had been given a few days off "That sounds like fun, honey. Why don't you let me go?" Selina chimed in, her eyes bright with excitement.

"Sweetheart, did you forget that you're currently working as my personal secretary? Hmm?" Trevon wasn't pleased at all. He found it unacceptable that Selina was looking for ways to get out when she should be enjoying his company. A part of him wanted to spank her for these unruly thoughts.

"Oh, come on, please, hubby. You know I can't stay cooped up in the office all the time. It's not who I am! A field task like this once in a while would be refreshing, don't you think?" Selina employed her best coquettish tactics, shaking Trevon's arm like it was a carnival ride, completely oblivious to the discomfort of others around.

Herbert's mouth twitched uncontrollably. Based on his assessment, any woman who dared to use such a tone with Trevon was either suicidal or ready to be slapped straight to oblivion.

But Selina was different. As her charms gradually whittled away Trevon's resolve, he leaned in and whispered. Fine, I'll let you go. But how will you reward me, since it's an exception to the rule?"

What Trevon actually wanted was to keep Selina close, to and from work together all the time. He was trying to avoid her slinking off like an eel at the first opportunity, sometimes not even showing up for dinner because she was out and about.

"All right, all right, I'll reward you when I get back. Happy? Selina said with a grand wave of her hand.
