"What are you thinking about?" Henry looked at her.
Yvonne blinked her eyes and answered honestly, "I'm thinking about when you'll give me a lesson."
Henry raised his eyebrows slightly. "Didn't I pinch your face and hurt you just now?"
Yvonne was stunned. "Was that it? Did you go easy on me?"
She thought that he would scold her terribly and beat her up vigorously.
It surprised her to see that he only pinched her face as a lesson. It was beyond her expectation.
"Why?" Henry crossed his arms. "It seems like you think that it's too light a punishment."
Yvonne's lips twitched slightly. "Yes, since it's different from what I thought it'd be."
"Then what did you think?” Henry shot a sidelong glance at her.
Yvonne coughed lightly. "I-I thought that you’d beat m e up."
"I see..." Henry purposely dragged out his voice. Soon, h e seemed to be thinking of something else. "Since you look forward to getting beaten up by me, won't you be disappointed if I do nothing of the sort?"
Yvonne was stunned. "You... Do you really want to beat me up?"
Henry chuckled in a deep voice. "Certainly, but I won't use the traditional method to beat you up. How about we change it to another style?"
"What kind of style?" Yvonne looked at him vigilantly.
She might be overthinking. She felt that he seemed to be planning some kind of cunning plot given his look and tone.
"It's quite simple, dust..." Henry smirked and kept her i n suspense.
Yvonne felt like he was teasing her, so she felt nervous and flustered. "What is it? Tell me now."
"Do you want me to tell you about it?" Henry looked at her.
Yvonne nodded.
"Fine. Since you yearn to know about it, it means that you’re quite eager too. Then, I'll tell you about it.” After that, Henry leaned forward and approached her. He whispered some words in her ear.
Yvonne was stunned when she heard what he said. After she recovered her senses, she blushed deeply." You... You..."
She stammered until she could not speak properly.
It was because those words were too hard for her to say out loud.
"What about me?” Henry threw her a question as if he knew not what was wrong, and he deepened his smile.
Yvonne’s face became puffy. "How shameless you are! You want to do that... anywhere and anytime. Besides, it’s still morning." 1
It surprised her to realize that he was referring to that.
"So what if it's morning now? Who claims that we can only do that at night?" Henry asked as if he did not approve of that.
Yvonne was tongue-tied.
What he said seemed quite logical too.
Indeed no one had ever made a rule that one could only do that at night.
But she just did it with him the night before. Now he wanted to do it again. She did not know whether she could take that or not.
Seeing that Yvonne had become quiet and worried all of a sudden, Henry narrowed his eyes. "What are you worried about?"
Yvonne looked down immediately. "Nothing..."
How could she bring herself to tell him her thoughts?
"That's good if it’s indeed nothing. By the way, I even sent Sue away. So no one will disturb us for the rest of the day," said Henry as he leaned toward her slightly.
Yvonne quickly leaned backward. "Wait!"
She stopped him.
Henry frowned slightly. "What is it now?"
"Don't tell me that you plan to do it here." Yvonne pointed at the sofa beneath her.
"Can't we do it here?" Henry looked at her as she appeared nervous.
Seeing that, Henry smiled faintly and kissed her again...
After an unknown period of time, the sky darkened gradually.
Henry became quite satisfied and moaned once. He then left Yvonne's body.
He stood beside the sofa and looked down at the woman who was now fast asleep.
She closed her eyes tightly, and her eyelashes were wet because of her tears. Her eyelashes still fluttered from time to time. Moreover, her small face was still flushed. It seemed like someone had just bullied her.
She was indeed most charming when she looked like that. 1
Henry stared at her for a short while. After that, he bent down and kept the sweaty hair off her face. He hugged her waist, lifted her up, and went toward the bedroom. He then put her on the bed and covered her with a blanket. Only then he found a bathrobe from the closet casually and put it on. He then grabbed his phone and went toward the balcony.
"Joe.” Enjoying the night breeze, Henry spoke into the phone with a cold facial expression.
"Mr. Lancaster, it’s quite late now. What do you need m e to do?" Joe sounded respectful.
Henry leaned against the banister and asked him coldly, "How's Jason’s performance at work recently?" "This..." Joe found it hard to tell Henry about that.
Henry frowned. "Just tell me the truth."
Hearing that, Joe breathed a sigh of relief, and he had no worries now. He said honestly, "He’s kinda lazy, and he always sleeps in the office. Besides, he even made up his own circles in the department. Consequently, the department he works for is in disarray and a mess. He even said to the others that you're his brother-in-law. But not many people believe him. However, there are still some people who fawn o n him, including the assistant manager-Mr. Young from the Public Relations Department."
"Mr. Young?" Henry narrowed his eyes as if he was trying to figure out who he was.
"Yes, it's Mr. Young. He got his post because of his experience and capability. But it's not important now. The important thing is that he’s your distant cousin's husband, so he knows for a fact that you’re married."
"It means that he believes what Jason said and that he's my brother-in-law. Is that why he started to fawn on Jason?" Henry figured out the whole picture soon.
Henry nodded. "Yes, that's right."
Henry laughed sarcastically. "How could he be the Lancasters' distant relative? He even wants to get a higher position by fawning on Jason. Does he even realize that he has found a wrong target?"
Joe coughed lightly. "Mr. Young might have seen how Jason acted recklessly in the office, but he's not fired. So he assumed that you care for madam's family members..." "How stupid!" Henry’s face became quite cold and ferocious. "Since he wants to be promoted so much, I won't grant his wish. You ask the Personnel Department to send him the walking papers in the morning tomorrow. Our Lancaster Group doesn't need this kind of employee who just wants to take the shortcut."
"Alright," said Henry. He then hesitated for a few seconds before he asked again, "How about Jason?"
