?Chapter 162:


    Ellie, covering her face, was bewildered by the unfolding events. “Kaiden, are you not considering the potential gossip within thepany due to your inappropriate behavior?”


    “They wouldn’t dare to gossip about me.”


    Kaiden seemed carefree. After all, it was hispany. He felt entitled to act as he pleased.


    “Mr. Thorpe, about the meeting…” Bruce, Kaiden’s trusted aide, was approached by the executives to intervene in this delicate situation.


    “Let’s resume it tomorrow.”


    Kaiden, taking Ellie’s hand, headed towards his CEO office.


    His wheelchair moved so swiftly that Ellie struggled to keep pace. “Aren’t you in a meeting? Slow down!”


    “Today’s meeting is adjourned. We’ll continue tomorrow. You’re getting off work on time today.” Bruce, expressionless, ryed the message to the other executives.


    Their relief at not having to work overtime was overshadowed by the day’s unexpected events.


    “Is Mr. Thorpe neglecting his duties? Leaving before the meeting ends?”


    “Did Mr. Thorpe just leave? He won’t hear us, right?”


    “Unbelievable! Mr. Thorpe was kissing that woman? He’s actually into women?”


    “Quiet! Mr. Harper is still here.”


    Bruce quickly interjected, “It’s fine. I won’t report it.” He, too, had once doubted Kaiden’s interest in women.


    “Mr. Harper, did Mr. Thorpe cancel meetings before… also because of—”


    Bruce, feigning nonchnce, warned, “Don’t spread rumors. Mr. Thorpe dislikes gossip about his private life.”


    gα?ησν????s, where the best stories live


    The message was clear: the woman was indeed the cause, but it was to be kept confidential.


    “Wow! Did anyone see her face clearly?”


    “No, I just caught a glimpse, but she was stunning!”


    “Mr. Harper, do you have any photos of the CEO’s future wife? Can we—”


    Bruce shook his head. “I don’t have any photos.” He wouldn’t dare risk taking pictures of Kaiden’s wife. That would be a death wish.


    Bang!


    As the CEO’s office door closed with a sharp sound, Ellie found herself pressed against it by Kaiden. He kissed her passionately—a kiss so intense that it left her overwhelmed.


    “Kaiden… You! Wait… I…”


    Ellie struggled to articte her thoughts, but her words were continually swallowed by his fervent kisses. One hand gripped her waist, while the other daringly slipped under her clothes toward her chest, sending a shiver through her.
