The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 394

Nicole's eyes were blazing with hatred.

Standing up, she decided to visit the Moore residence to find Allie.

She knew Allie was foolish, greedy for money, and a materialistic woman, so she planned to get the latter and Jeffrey, who held the most authority in the Moore family, on her side. Then, she would get her parents to intervene in the matter. In the end, Cayden would have no choice but to cave to her.

At Trident Group, after Yuvan examined Avery's body, he noticed she was fine except for her swollen wrists and sprained muscles.

Mentally, however, she was more affected.

After all, she almost fell from the eighty-eight floor. Anyone would have gotten a heart attack from this.

Yuvan then did psychological counseling with her and prescribed her some soluble pills.

Cayden made sure Avery had entirely calmed down before letting Yuvan leave.

He did not let Avery return to the office to work after her scare. Instead, he made her rest in the CEO-exclusive lounge.

After a moment, Cayden instructed someone to dissolve her soluble pills. Then, he handed the bowl of medicine to her.

Avery had only taken a sip before her expression changed drastically.

She snuck a glance at Cayden and pursed her lips. Then, she held up the bowl of medicine and furrowed her brows.

“You can go and work first. The medicine is too hot. I'll wait for it to cool down before drinking,” Avery said softly.

Cayden narrowed his eyes and stared at Avery's unnatural expression. He did not reply as he turned around to return to his office.

Avery heaved a sigh of relief.

After he left, she walked to the sink as she wanted to pour the bowl of medicine away.

“What are you doing?” An icy cold voice suddenly rang out from behind her.

Shocked, Avery nearly dropped the bowl onto the ground.

She turned around and saw Cayden leaning on the door of the lounge.

Caught red-handed, she bit her lip in embarrassment. “N-Nothing.”

Cayden stared at her in amusement as he listened to her lame excuse.

Knowing that it was obvious she was lying, Avery's face reddened as she explained, “I don't like to take medicine. The pills Yuvan prescribed are too bitter. I simply had a minor scare. It's not so serious until I have to take medication for it. Also, there are side effects to eating medicine. I really don't want to drink this. I know I'll recover in a few days.”

Cayden stared at her throughout her explanation.

Seeing Avery's reluctant and troubled expression over the medicine, Cayden took the bowl and drank a huge sip. Then, he pinned her against the wall and gripped her chin. In the next instant, his lips were on hers as he forcefully fed the medicine to her.

Avery widened her eyes. The bitter medicine Cayden fed her turned into a different kind of bitterness.

Cayden would let Avery get her way in everything except when it came to her own body and health. He refused to let her treat herself that lightly.

Avery's expression soured, but she could not do anything.

The bitterness of the medicine had Avery cursing at Yuvan inwardly.

Cayden stared at her as she obediently finished the rest of the medicine.

He watched her lean against the bed as her bright eyes grew a little teary due to the bitterness. Her aggrieved expression also caused his heart to soften.

Sitting down on the bed, he shifted her to sit in his lap.

Cayden said gently, “The medicine Yuvan prescribed is very effective. You had a scare today, so your head might hurt tomorrow. You will feel better tomorrow after eating this medicine.”

Avery also knew it was for her own good but still felt aggrieved. “It's really bitter.”

Cayden suddenly pulled a candy out of nowhere and unwrapped it.

Avery thought he would give the candy to her, so she did not expect it when he put it into his mouth.

Before Avery could react, Cayden had grabbed the back of her neck and started kissing her.

He skillfully teased her lips apart and passed the candy into her mouth with his tongue.

The bitter medicine taste still lingered in her mouth. When combined with her distinct taste and the sweetness of the candy, Cayden found it particularly appealing.

Avery's initially pale complexion had grown rosy after the kiss. Cayden felt contented upon seeing that she was as red as an apple.

He said, “You don't need to work anymore today. Take a nap. You can come to work tomorrow after you're fully rested. Anyways, the company is about to go on holiday. I can help you apply for leave for the remaining days.”

Avery frowned. “It's fine. I'm okay. I can just rest for today and come to work tomorrow. There is more work at the end of the year, so I should try to help out as much as possible.”
