Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 340

Chapter 340

His words brought her back to the night before.

She pretended not to have heard it, but the man watched her intensely.

“Not saying anything?” Cedrick observed her reactions and deliberately said very slowly. She did not want to say anything because she did not want to think about it. Why was this man so shamelessly bugging her about that?

“No!” Catelyn’s ears were red, and she finally spitted out one word.

“If it is no longer hurting, why were your legs shaking when you got out of the car this morning?” Cedrick enjoyed teasing her, hunched forward, and planted a gentle kiss on her

soft lips.

The familiar scent of after-shave filled her nostrils again, and Catelyn took one step back. However, the desk was behind her, and she had nowhere to hide. She could only lean backward. Catelyn’s body was flexible. Her body was half bent, and her hands were on his chest, resisting him.

“I just slipped this morning! Let me go. This is the office, and there are surveillance cameras

around…”

Catelyn was a little nervous but thrilled at the same time.

“The security system is going through maintenance and upgrade. The surveillance cameras are off now.”

Catelyn looked at the handsome face before her nervously, and her lashes were trembling. Her fists that were pushing against him were also let loose, turning into a gentle grab on his collar. However, when she closed her eyes, and his kiss was about to land on her…

Snap!

The office was pitch black.

A few light rays shone through the window, and Catelyn pushed him away. “Office is where you work. You should be more serious as the CEO.”

She took out her phone from her bag, and with the aid of the light from her screen, she could see Cedrick standing about one meter away from her, looking at her sharply. His gaze was piercing like a hawk in the night sky as though he had managed to catch his prey. Catelyn was a little nervous and immediately diverted the conversation.

“You were saying that the security systems are going through an update? Is the blackout happening because of that?”

Cedrick’s brows were furrowed but then smoothed out shortly after.

His necktie was messy too. He looked flustered, which was a total contrast to his usual elegant and graceful self.

“The Administrative Department had sent out a memo to everyone. Did you not receive it?”

Catelyn’s heart sank a little.

She did not arrive early at the office today, but she was definitely not late either. She should have already received the memo if there was one.

She shook her head in all honesty. “No one told me that the security systems are going through an upgrade tonight, and I did not know that there would be a blackout.”
