Her footsteps paused as the longing for him and the grievances she had suffered because of him surged through her. Her nose felt sour, her heart heavy, and soon her eyes filled with tears. Alex Hamilton, however, walked past her without acknowledging her presence and entered the chairman's office behind her. In that moment, Emily Williams felt her heart shatter, her legs weighed down as if filled with lead. She sadly questioned herself, was she nothing more than a stranger to him? Was he only after her body? Laughter filled the surroundings, as everyone seemed to be watching their spectacle. Alex Hamilton's indifference towards Emily Williams satisfied their desire for drama. Emily Williams hurriedly walked back to her office, with everyone looking at her with pity, some reveling in schadenfreude, others pretending to sympathize.
"Look, the trophy girl is just like that. Once a man gets what he wants, he'll discard her."
"Did you see just now? Hamilton barely even glanced at her, but she looked so expectant. It's fascinating."
"I suspect her rapid promotion to Alex Hamilton's special assistant was achieved by using dirty tactics like selling her body."
"You all better watch your mouths. Being abandoned is already miserable enough, and you're adding insult to injury."
The laughter continued, and Emily Williams lay her head on the desk, silently reminding herself not to cry and to focus on her work.
"Manager Emily, Hamilton wants you to go to his office." Someone called her from outside the office door.
Emily Williams hesitated for a moment, then stood up. She bit her lip, mentally prepared for whatever way Alex Hamilton would treat her, whether as a stranger or as their past superior-subordinate relationship. She would gladly accept it. She would no longer feel pain or sadness about their intimate night and his abrupt departure, because from the moment he passed by her, she knew Alex Hamilton's attitude towards her.
Emily Williams hesitated several times before finally gathering the courage to lightly knock on Alex Hamilton's office door. Her heart felt sour and painful, but she couldn't let her tears flow. She wouldn't allow her vulnerability to be seen by Alex Hamilton.
The door opened, and Alex Hamilton stood before her. She walked in, about to ask him what he wanted, when the door behind her instantly locked. Surprised, she turned around, only to be enveloped in Alex Hamilton's embrace.
His scent surrounded her, and the rough panting near her ear sent shivers down her spine. He forcefully sealed her lips with his, leaving her with no chance to refuse as he kissed her passionately.
"Mmm..." Emily Williams tried to turn her face, to escape his kiss, but she found herself unable to resist.
Alex Hamilton pushed Emily Williams against the door, holding her face in his hands. His kiss was wild and passionate, while her eyes widened in surprise, witnessing his complete change in attitude.
Alex Hamilton's hands roamed over her body, slipping under her skirt and gliding between her legs, starting to pull down her panties.
"Mmm..." Emily Williams shook her head. She had been foolish once and didn't want to be foolish again.
Emily Williams attempted to push him away, but Alex Hamilton showed no intention of letting her go. Soon, he pulled down her panties, letting them fall to the floor.
Emily Williams felt his tongue dancing with hers, his hand ventured into her blouse, tracing along her back. With a simple twist of his fingers, he unhooked her bra, releasing her ample breasts. His hand quickly found its way to her chest, cupping and kneading them.
Emily Williams was being kissed so passionately that she had no chance to catch her breath. Alex Hamilton started unbuttoning her shirt, gradually revealing her bare skin.
Furious and desperate, Emily Williams didn't want this man, who had left her without a word, to possess her again. She clawed at his chest, but Alex Hamilton pulled her toward the sofa in his office, pushing her down onto it.
"It's been a while, aren't you longing for this?" Alex Hamilton said, staring at her seductive figure. He began undressing himself.
Emily Williams's eyes burned with anger. She quickly climbed off the sofa, intending to pick up her clothes and put them back on. However, Alex Hamilton wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, forcing her back down onto the sofa and pouncing on her eagerly.
"Get away from me! Don't touch me!" Emily Williams was at a loss for Alex Hamilton's sudden change in attitude. She pushed him away in anger.
But Alex Hamilton was relentless, his passion unyielding. He treated her body as if he were possessed, paying no attention to her resistance.
Emily Williams's struggling grew weaker. Her arms hung limply, and all she saw was Alex Hamilton's head bobbing on her chest, biting and sucking, causing discomfort. It was then that she realized how much her body yearned for him.
Alex Hamilton kissed her snow-white chest, savoring the long-lost sweetness that melted in his mouth. Despite successfully completing his mission in America, every second, he longed to fly back to Taiwan and possess her once more.
With a strong longing in his heart, Alex Hamilton couldn't control his desires any longer. He disregarded her resistance, tasting her sweetness eagerly as his lower body pressed against her softness between her legs.
Emily Williams felt a cool sensation in her chest as a result of his kisses. Although she was still angry at him, her body reacted uncontrollably. She pushed her chest forward, presenting herself beautifully to him, satisfying his desires, allowing him to suck on her sweetness like a baby.
Her arms wrapped around his neck, her legs entwined around his waist. With a gentle thrust, Hamilton entered her tightness. She was indeed very tight, enveloping him with pleasure. His lower body started moving rhythmically, and the couch echoed with their movements.
Emily Williams felt pain, but his actions aroused her desires, filling her with pleasure. Gradually, she consented to everything he did to her.
Hamilton continued his rhythm, watching Emily Williams' body blush and emit a seductive scent. At that final moment, he released his desire into her, filling her up.
After they were done, Hamilton immediately let go of Emily Williams and started putting on his clothes. His desire was temporarily satisfied, and this was his office. He didn't want to attract any attention.
Emily Williams also stood up to pick up her clothes, looking at her wrinkled shirt. She glared at Hamilton.
After getting dressed, Hamilton walked behind her and embraced her, burying his face in her shoulder. "I'm sorry..."
Emily Williams felt a mix of sadness and joy in her heart. She had been waiting for those words, but when he finally said them, she felt very sad. Even if she forgave him for leaving without a word, she couldn't forgive how he ignored her when they met again.
Emily Williams tried to shake him off. "I hate you. Leave me alone."
"Don't be like this, be a good girl. I won't do this again in the future," Hamilton held onto her wrist, apologizing sincerely. During this time, he had really suffered without her, tormented by desire and longing.
"In the future? We don't have a future," Emily Williams tried to break free from his grip.
Hamilton held her tightly. "I won't let go of you. I like you."
Emily Williams widened her eyes. His confession made all her sadness and grievances disappear, but she still couldn't believe it.
"You may not believe it, but a long time ago, I started liking you. I just wasn't sure if that feeling was love. I have to admit, you're smart, cute, proactive, and really attractive. I almost missed the chance to be with you. When I returned to the US, I realized that I needed you every moment. I realized how tormenting my decision was for me."
"What's next then? Are you going to get tired of my body and abandon me, ending our relationship?" Emily Williams looked sorrowful, tears welling up in her eyes. How could he ever give up on his bright future and stay with her?
"I will handle the future, but I need you now." Hamilton gently caressed her hair.
His usually calm demeanor had changed because of her. Nobody knew how much he struggled deep inside after returning to the US. He didn't have to come back because his work was already completed, and he had gained recognition from headquarters. He was about to have everything he wanted, fulfilling his ambitions.
Because of her, he gave up the world that was supposed to be his. He realized, at this moment, how ironic it was that he once told his friends that he loved power, not women.
But Emily Williams had conquered his heart. He couldn't yearn for her in the US while achieving his ambitions with constant uncertainty. He had to sacrifice one of the two. Emily Williams' warmth devoured him on lonely nights, making him impatient to return to her side and hold her in his arms.
Emily Williams held her clothes up, blocking her chest. Hamilton's words and the determination behind them somewhat eased her worries. She wanted to tell him that she liked him too, really liked him, but she hadn't received a definite answer from him yet. She wasn't sure if he would stay for her, and she didn't want her confession of love to become a hindrance on his path to success.
"On the table is a gift I got for you. I hope you like it." Hamilton took the clothes from her hands, smoothing out the creases, and helped her put them on, buttoning them up.
Hamilton's gentle actions touched Emily Williams. He tried his best to win her over, but she was afraid it was all just to sleep with her.
Hamilton handed the gift box to Emily Williams, placing it in her arms. "Emily, please wait for me after work."
As Emily Williams walked out of Hamilton's office holding the gift, some colleagues who were opportunistic approached her. "Emily, what did Hamilton want earlier?"
Emily Williams smiled and replied, "Nothing, just discussing some work-related matters."
They glanced at Emily Williams and noticed the gift box in her hands. "Wow, this must be the gift he gave you. So envious!"
