Chapter 1138
Cicely''s eyes widened, her heart pounding in panic. It wasn''t until she crashed into a familiar chest
that she felt somefort.
She stumbled into his arms, her legs awkwardly positioned.
She squirmed a bit, but the man''s grip tightened around her waist, lifting her up and then setting her
back down, this time shended on the floor.
But the man didn''t let go. His long arm wrapped tightly around her waist, pressing their bodies
together. She struggled a bit, but his grip only tightened. Finally, her hands braced against his chest,
her tense body gradually rxing.
Her hair was disheveled from the struggle, a blush staining her carefully made-up face. They were
face to face, their breath heavy with the smell of alcohol, hard to tell whose was stronger.
Or rather, whose stench of booze was thicker.
"Mr. Diaz, can''t we have a straightforward conversation? Do you find it enjoyable to corner me like
this every time? Or do you find it thrilling to flirt with me behind your girlfriend''s back?"
Seth reached out and held her delicate chin, his fingers feeling the warmth of her smooth skin, his
eyes squinting at the sarcastic smile on her face.
His fingers tightened, pulling her closer. His breath, tainted with alcohol, brushed against her nose,
stirring her long eyshes.
"Who told you to work, huh?" His voice was low and threatening.
Cicely smiled, a subtle warmth in her eyes. “No one forbade me from working, I need to earn
money, Mr. Diaz."
Seth watched her fake smile quietly, finding it even more annoying than the flirtatious smiles she
gave to others.

Not to mention... The way she and ud wereughing so naturally together.
"I treat you like a VIP at home, yet you''re out here serving others? Cicely, you really know how to
stir up trouble”
“Can''t take it anymore?" Her fingers traced his chest, climbed up his shoulder. Her red lips slightly
parted, her wordsced with a hint of alcohol. You could see her agile little tongue behind her pearly
teeth.
"If you can''t take it, let me go. What''s the point of spending money on someone who constantly
irritates you?"
Seth''s face hardened, his lips pressed tightly together, the hand holding her chin unconsciously
tightened.
"Let you go? You found a better sugar daddy, and want to be kept by him immediately?"
"Does that concern you?"
Cicely looked closely at the handsome face of the man; even when he was angry enough to turn
blue, he was still infuriatingly good-looking.
“Seth, what''s your intention and position in meddling with my life? Based on our previous
rtionship, we''re just ex-husband and ex-wife. In short, we''re no different from strangers. From the
current perspective, you''re a man, I''ma woman. Men and women can have friendships, romantic
rtionships, even sexual rtionships, lovers... But is our rtionship normal? Haven''t you been
annoyed, fed up, and disgusted with me? What now? Can''t live without me?"
Seth looked into her eyes calmly, saying coldly, “Seems like you''re determined to piss me off
tonight.
"I''m just stating the facts, can''t you ept them?”
"Cicely.’ Seth said suddenly, his sharp gaze fixed on her, "Don''t push my patience any further.”
Cicely slightly avoided his gaze, "You losing your patience won''t do me any good. I have no reason
to provoke you.”
Seth smiled, his eyes slowly sweeping over her flushed face, "You know this, yet you keep
provoking me. Are you a masochist?"
Cicely rolled her eyes in exasperation. "I need to work, if possible, I don''t want to go back to that
house, even more so, if you could let me off the hook, that would be great.
Don''t you find our ambiguous entanglement disgusting?"
“Disgusting? Cicely, don''t forget, the one who started this clingy mess was you.’
He leaned in close to her, his nose touching her soft cheek, his eyes slightly squinted, looking down
at the woman who was much shorter than him, smelling a unique scent from her. Back when she
was thedy of the Ellis family, he always thought she used some fancy perfume, a kind he didn''t
dislike. But now it seemed, it wasn''t the case.
"So you didn''t pick up anything else, only my special tricks?"
As she spoke, her eyes were on her hand resting on his shoulder, seeing her fingers against his
expensive suit, creating a stark contrast. Her pose was delicate yetnguid, exuding an alluring
charm.
Was she trying to seduce him? How could that be? Because this woman, by nature, was like that,
no matter who she was dealing with.
Thinking of her shamelessly weaving through the crowd with a beaming smile, his face instantly
cooled, the grip on her chin tightened. "When will you learn to behave? Always causing trouble,
even more so now...
Cicely snorted, "Now I eat, sleep, work, make money, obey the rules, and don''t break thew. I''m a
perfect model citizen. If this is considered misbehaving, how do you define behaving?"
"Don''t provoke me.’
His nose gently rubbed against her cheek, his masculine scent mixed with alcohol almost
enveloped her, her every breath filled with his dominant scent. His deep voice echoed above her
head, every pore in her body opening up from his intimacy.
She tilted her head slightly, trying to dodge his approach.
What he meant by ''misbehaving'' was for her not to provoke him.
Ha. After all that talk and wasted time, it all came down to bullshit!
"Fine, I won''t provoke you. Now let me go, I need to go home and rest."
“Together. His deep voice resonated in her ear, the breath he exhaled even hotter than before.
Cicely closed her eyes; after all the pointless talk and wasted time, the alcohol was making her
head spin. "Don''t forget your girlfriend is waiting for you, I can go home by myself”
She paused, irritation unavoidable in her heart, and added, "I think you really need to reassess your
position. You''re being sneaky with me now, have you considered Danielle''s feelings? You''re really
ungrateful, making trouble for me now because I''m ignoring you, why don''t you think about how I''m
doing this for your sake and your girlfriend''s?"
