The CEO Gets What He Wants

Nicole carefully looked at her reflection through the glass windows.

The pure white one-shoulder dress on her had a deep V-neck design, which outlined her fair white cleavage. The back of the dress was cleverly layered with flower pleats and revealed her beautiful looking back.

Furthermore, her straight and slender legs could be seen vaguely through her high-slit dress while she walked.

With the sexy gown and her innocent looks, Nicole felt she looked perfect now.

Looking at her reflection, she nodded in satisfaction.

Although Nicole disagreed with Bonnie's view on sex and looked down on women who sleep with any random man, she had to acknowledge the latter's fashion sense. After the duo spent so much time together, Nicole's fashion taste improved.

Along the way, Nicole heard praises from many guests.

Many men even asked for her number, which had her ego boosted.

However, Nicole felt very nervous, even more so than when she went to a filming set for the first time.

Her heart thumped while watching Cayden, who was talking to other guests.

A crease appeared between Nicole's brows.

I have to find a way to lure Cayden into a room.

While she was racking her brain, thinking of a way to lead Cayden into a room, a small figure suddenly dashed in her direction.

Loss in her thoughts, Nicole did not see it coming and got pushed.

Since Nicole paired her gown with a pair of high heels, she lost balance as soon as she got pushed. The hallucinogen slipped from her hand and rolled on the floor.

Nicole could only watch the spray bottle containing the hallucinogen continue to roll away from her helplessly until it stopped at the feet of a sinister-looking man.

The man was tall and muscular, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He was in a camouflage uniform and had a beard.

The buttons of his camouflage uniform were loosely buttoned, exposing his bronze-colored skin and muscles. The man had a steely look, and his dark eyes were full of a vicious and ferocious aura.

He looked terrifying, making people shudder just from looking at him.

Looking at the spray bottle in front of his military boots, the bearded man squatted down to pick it up.

The spray bottle was labeled in a series of foreign words.

When he saw it, he put his nose close to the spray bottle and sniffed it lightly. The familiar smell made him give Nicole a sarcastic yet meaningful stare.

Then, he quietly picked up the spray bottle and played with it.

Nicole fell into a daze as soon as she saw the wild-looking man pick up her bottle of hallucinogen.

According to Bonnie, the words on the spray bottle are written in a foreign language, and it has a label meaning cold medicine on it. So most people cannot tell what it is. This man looks rough and uneducated. He probably doesn't know what it is.

Only then did Nicole feel relieved.

Before Nicole fell to the ground, a gentleman grabbed her waist in time, saving her from embarrassment.

“Ms. Lambert, are you all right?” The gentleman held onto Nicole's soft and slender waist, reluctant to let go. His eyes were full of admiration.

Nicole was the only daughter of William.

Moreover, she was young and beautiful. Anyone who got married to her would be holding a trump card.

He believed all the men present at the banquet had this hidden agenda.

Nicole took a glance at the man. He looked like he was in his thirties. With not much to look at, his face was full of acne. He couldn't hide his protruding beer belly in his expensive suit.

Immediately, Nicole, who judged people by their appearance, felt repulsed. However, she maintained a gentle look on her face.

Nicole refused his touch. “Thank you, sir. I would have made a fool of myself today if not for you. Can you please let me go now?”

The man with a beer belly was too embarrassed to hold onto Nicole's waist after hearing what she said.

After he let her go, Nicole walked toward the mischievous kid who pushed her and planned to reprimand him.

The kid was a little boy around five to six years old. He had an outstanding appearance with a pair of big and round clear eyes. His eyelashes were long and curly.

The boy was dressed in a white tuxedo. He looked like a charming prince walking out of a fairy tale.

He was Seamus, Jacob Yankovich's only son.

Today, Seamus attended the banquet with his father. While playing with other kids, he accidentally pushed Nicole. He pulled a funny face at her when he saw her walking in his direction with a sullen face. Before Nicole could speak, Seamus ran off.

No kidding. I have to flee now. Otherwise, my butt will suffer if this lady tells on me to Daddy.

Nicole was boiling in anger when she saw his mischievous action.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she had to maintain her elegant, ladylike demeanor. Thus, she couldn't hold a grudge against a kid.

Nicole smiled resignedly and walked toward the bearded man. Then, she looked at him with her bright eyes and spoke softly. “Sir, I dropped my cold medicine here and saw you pick it up. Can you please return it to me now?”

The bearded man was named Roderick Fuller. He was a special forces soldier that just got discharged from the military. Coming from a family with generations of soldiers, he had an influential family background.

He stared straight at Nicole without shying away.

Nicole's fair skin, cherry-red lips, cleavage, and seductive voice drew Roderick's attention.

His lustful thoughts of her were blatant. Moreover, he did not plan to hide them.

“Sir, please return my cold medicine to me.” Nicole was frustrated and angry at Roderick's stares.

This man is shameless. How can he stare so blatantly? It's as though he hasn't seen a woman in years and wants to strip me down. I'm so disgusted.

What happened next infuriated Nicole further. Roderick moved his stare from Nicole's delicate face to her bust, then to her slender waist. Nicole felt flabbergasted when he tilted his head deliberately to check out her hip.

Coming back to her senses, Nicole immediately turned sideways to move her womanly curves out of his bold sight.

“What on earth? How can you—”
