Chapter 31

James got the hint, so he gently brushed his fingers over the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, his voice a bit raspy. "How about we head to my room tonight?"

"Are you inviting me for a sexual encounter?"

James squinted and whispered, "Yeah, will you?"

Emily couldn't resist his charm.

Sitting on his lap, she could already feel him getting excited.James was heating up.

Emily kissed him, her fingers trailing down his stomach, slowly wrapping around his growing erection. She wiggled her hips, her eyes full of allure.

With her taking the lead, James grabbed her hips and guided her back to his room.

As soon as she sank into the soft sofa, James kissed her immediately.

He pinned her beneath him, and Emily's soft breasts pressed against his firm chest.

Worried about hurting her, James used some lube, and after a few quick strokes with his fingers, he slid his entire length inside her before she could react.

Emily gasped,"James,slow down!"

James unbuttoned her shirt, firmly grasped her breasts, and kissed her passionately.

Emily's hair was a mess, her seductive eyes misty, softening her usual sharp and assertive demeanor, making her look a bit vulnerable. James loved that he was the only one who got to see her like this.

James then took her swollen nipples into his mouth. Emily's body tensed for a moment as he lightly licked them, which only made her feel more needy.

Emily weakly protested, her face flushed. "James, this isn't a lollipop. You really..."

"Don't you like it?"

Emily was at a loss for words, especialy with his sudden deep thrusts that sent electric shocks through her, making her whole body shudder.

She twisted her slender waist to match his deep and heavy thrusts, the pleasure making her forget all the day's troubles.

She didn't care about the online comments because the deal with the Golden Birch Group wouldn't fall through just because of some resistance.

After all, those who could afford products from Quigr and the Williams Group's Diamond Glow had assets of at least tens of millions, not those online criticizers. The cheapest jewelry item this time was in the seven figures.

After work the next day, Emily called Nora to meet up.

Nora said arrogantly, "Ms. Johnson, are you here to apologize? Isn't it too late? I got an offer from Luminous Studio today to join as the design director.Jealous?"

She continued,"How does it feel to have your rights taken by your sister?

Veda's boyfriend is the heir of the Williams Group. You'll be kicked out soon enough."

Nora only knew that Veda was still at the Williams Group, so she thought Emily must be struggling.

Emily stayed cool and said, "Meet me at Celestial Cuisine tonight at 8."

Celestial Cuisine was one of the swankiest spots in Emerald City.

After a moment's hesitation, Nora agreed. She knew clearly why Emily would invite her, but even if it was a trap, she wouldn't held back.

Everyone at work thought Emily was some rich heiress, always decked out in designer clothes, driving fancy cars, and having the top execs at her beck and call.

But they had no clue about Emily's humble background.

Nora felt a weird sense of superiority. She thought, 'Even if Emily knows I leaked the news online, she can't do anything about it.'

At 8 PM, Emily waited for half an hour at Celestial Cuisine before Nora showed up.

Emily had picked a prime spot, with a stunning view of Emerald City.

As Nora sat down, she noticed people staring at Emily. She felt a twinge of envy and muttered to herself, "What a hussy!"

Dropping her bag, Nora sneered, "Mr. Williams really likes Veda. Even now, he keeps her in the company. Emily, doesn't that bother you?"

She looked at Emily with a smug expression and said, "If you can't hack it here, you can join me at Luminous Studio. I might even make you my

assistant, how about that?"

Emily narrowed her eyes and shot back, "Thanks, but I don't take scraps from dogs."

Nora's face turned red with anger. She slammed the table and snapped,"Emily, who do you think you are? How long do you think you can keep that director's chair?"

Emily replied coolly, "However long I stay, it's none of your business.Your concern is unnecessary."

Taking a sip of her coffee, Emily said, "I called you here to find out who gave you my info."

Nora raised an eyebrow, crossed her arms, and looked indifferent. "So you're finally scared. I found out on my own because I can't stand your attitude and wanted to ruin your reputation!"

Emily smirked, "Such a barking dog."

"Emily,you!"

Emily pulled out her phone, tapped a few times, and showed Nora a video.

When Nora saw the footage of herseIf posting on Twitter at an internet cafe,a flicker of panic crossed her face, but she quickly composed herself.

Nora asked, "So what if Iposted it? I just wanted people to know what kind of person you are. Do you dare to let them know what you've done?"

Emily put down her phone and said calmly, "I can sue you for defamation.I have all the time in the world to deal with you, but do you have the money and time? Just tell me who gave you the info, and I'll let it go."
