Who would have thought that a powerful chief executive, who could have any woman he wanted, would want to go to a hotel and sleep with an unfamiliar, innocent girl?
When Charlotte thought about it, she burst into tears.
After entering the office, Charlotte saw Henry sitting behind a large desk.
At that moment, sunlight came in through the floor-to-ceiling windows and fell on Henry. It appeared as if there was a halo around him.
The man was as handsome as a medieval prince in an oil painting.
Charlotte was dumbfounded.
She had to admit that this man was too handsome.
Henry noticed Charlotte's gaze.
He turned up the corners of his mouth slightly. "What, are you lusting after me?"
Charlotte swallowed.
"President Stevens," she spat, "since you're so good-looking, why do you like to go to hotels to rob innocent girls of their virginity?"
Henry paused.
He squinted slightly. "Not 'girls.' Only one girl."
Charlotte froze.
She understood what he was hinting at and blushed.
Goodness!
The President had said something vulgar again.
Charlotte let out a strong cough and changed the subject. "Is President Stevens looking for something to do with me?" she asked.
"You want a promotion?"
Charlotte was surprised.
D*mn!
Henry had found out about her, a small employee, applying for a promotion.
Charlotte nodded.
Henry's slender, beautiful fingers tapped against the desk. "You usually have to have a certain number of working years before you can get a promotion," he said. "You have only been here for a few days."
Charlotte said honestly, "I want to make more money."
Henry gave Charlotte a surprised look. "Are you short on money?"
During the past four years, he had asked the butler to fulfill all of Charlotte's material needs.
Charlotte could buy anything she wanted.
How could she be short of money?
"Yes," Charlotte said, deadpan. "I want more money!"
After all, raising eight children wasn't easy.
Henry was slightly moved.
Still, he knew that this woman was probably acting.
After all, this small amount of money was a drop in the bucket for her.
She should look down upon it.
But seeing her full of vitality, looking like she was going to work hard for her livelihood...
For some reason, he liked her like this very much.
Henry's thin lips parted slightly. "Then there is no need for an assessment. Your promotion application passes directly."
Charlotte hadn't expected that Henry would be so easy to talk to, and she immediately felt overjoyed.
At that moment, the phone rang.
The butler was calling.
He told Henry something.
Miss Johnson had talked to him half an hour ago.
"Miss Johnson said that she wanted a card that allowed unlimited withdrawals," thebutler said cautiously. "She said she wanted more money."
Before, Lily had had a card with an unlimited balance.
But she could only go shopping with the card, and she couldn't withdraw cash.
Of course, the butler also gave Lily cash. Although it was a lot, it was insignificant compared to a card that allowed unlimited withdrawals.
This was the first time in four years that she had asked for a card with unlimited withdrawals.
Her appetite was too big.
The butler thought about it and felt that he still had to tell Henry.
Henry's face darkened.
He looked at Charlotte, who still stood in front of him.
This woman!
Ha!
What a great actress!
In front of the butler, she had asked for a card for unlimited withdrawals.
In front of him, she acted like an employee who worked hard to make money.
So she wanted more money?
Ha!
Even the excuse was the same!
"No!" Henry said curtly.
He had no shortage of money.
If Charlotte asked for it directly in front of him, he could give her as much as she wanted.
But if she acted in front of him, she shouldn't even think about it!
After speaking, Henry hung up the phone.
When he looked at Charlotte again, his expression was a little colder.
...
"I take back the decision just now," Henry said. "You failed the review. You can't have the promotion."
Charlotte said nothing.
Was he kidding?
He had just said that she had passed the review, but now, he was saying that she hadn't passed!
How could he change his mind so quickly?
"Did you think I wouldn't find out what you did?" Henry's interrogating voice met her ears.
Of course, he did not think that Charlotte was so stupid.
She had just asked the butler for a card with unlimited withdrawal. Then she had run up to him to play the character of a cheerful girl who was motivated and worked hard and was motivated.
So the only possibility was that Charlotte thought that the butler would not tell him what she had done or what she had asked for.
After all, Henry had money.
Even if Charlotte wanted a card that could be swiped without limits, it was a trivial matter for him.
She must have thought that the butler would not tell him.
Charlotte muttered, "I thought you wouldn't find out, but you still found out."
She was a small employee who had applied for a promotion.
How could she have known that Henry would find out about it?
She was speechless.
Henry's tone became even colder. "Then you know what call I just received!"
"Yeah," Charlotte said gloomily.
She could certainly imagine. The big-shot President must have received a call that made him unhappy.
Otherwise, how could he promise to give her a promotion one second, and change his mind in the next second, refusing her the promotion?
Henry sneered.
Indeed, he wasn't wrong.
She was a vain and shameless woman.
"Scram!" Henry's thin lips parted slightly, and he spat out the word.
Charlotte was silent.
Men were indeed capricious.
He was fine one second and moody the next.
Charlotte was about to turn around, but Henry stopped her again.
"Come here."
Charlotte raised her eyebrows slightly.
A new turn of events?
After all, the President's mood changed so quickly.
Maybe he would agree to give her a promotion next.
Charlotte walked over, apprehensive.
When she stopped in front of Henry, he said, "Sit down."
Charlotte did not respond.
Sit down?
Where did he want her to sit?
There was no place to sit!
Charlotte looked at Henry in doubt but saw that the man's eyes were sullen.
Charlotte suddenly understood.
By God!
This man wanted her to sit on his lap!
Was he kidding?
Charlotte turned to leave, but suddenly, Henry stretched out his hand and forced Charlotte to sit down on his lap.
His thighs were warm and sturdy.
Charlotte panicked and was about to flee, but she heard two words in her ear. "Don't move!"
His voice was low and hoarse.
Because she was sitting on the man's lap, Charlotte noticed the changes in his body.
She was so frightened that she couldn't move, and she wanted to cry but couldn't shed tears.
Was this man a beast?
She was just sitting on his lap, but he was already aroused!
Henry's lips came close to Charlotte's ear, and he said slowly, "I have never seen a woman as shameless as you."
Charlotte did not reply.
Ah!
The President had said this many times, so she had already become numb to it.
Hmph...
He said she was shameless?
She wanted to say that she had never seen a man as delusional as Henry.
He wasn't like the President of a corporation. He was more like a patient who had escaped from the hospital.
Of course, she could only think those words. She would never dare to say them out loud.
"If you want money, don't play tricks," Henry said slowly. "Just please me directly."
After a pause, he added meaningfully, "You should know what I mean by please me.Charlotte stammered, "I-I don't know."
Henry laughed a bit coldly and wickedly.
In the next second, he made a move that Charlotte had never expected.
He slipped his hand under Charlotte's clothes.
...
Charlotte felt like her head was about to explode.
But what was more unbearable was yet to come.
Henry not only put his hand under her clothes but also squeezed her.
Charlotte was in pain.
This d*mn man!
Didn't he know that was a woman's weakest spot?
She was in so much pain that she jumped up and moved away from Henry. "Does the dignified Stevens Corporation still need female employees to sell their bodies to get a promotion and salary increase?"
Henry's face darkened a bit.
Charlotte swallowed hard.
She had been too emotional just now.
She still couldn't afford to offend this man.
Charlotte said more softly, "President Stevens, with your face and your body, countless women are willing to throw themselves at you as long as you are amenable."
Even if Henry had been a pauper with no money at all, had he been willing to become a male prostitute, he might go from rags to riches overnight with his extraordinarily good looks.
"So," Charlotte said pitifully, "why do you have to threaten me?"
Henry stood up.
He walked towards Charlotte.
Seeing the man approaching step by step, Charlotte felt she had no choice but to retreat step by step.
Finally, there was nowhere to retreat. Her entire body was pressed against the French window.
Henry stopped and said slowly, "I like to use force."
Charlotte felt that at the moment, Henry's eyes were those of a beast. He looked like he wanted to swallow her whole.
She shivered.
She knew how beastly the man in front of her was.
She still couldn't forget that night four years ago.
That man had pressed her down and tortured her over and over again.
In the end, her body had felt like a heavy truck had crushed it and she was about to fall apart.
Even after a week, her legs had been shaky when she walked.
She didn't want to have that experience ever again.
Charlotte wanted to escape, but Henry was already one step ahead of her. He reached out and trapped Charlotte between him and the floor-to-ceiling windows.
"Do you know why I haven't come to see you in the past four years?" Henry asked, staring at Charlotte. "Because you are too despicable."
Charlotte was so terrified that she didn't hear what Henry said.
"Somehow, when you appeared in front of me again, you still aroused my interest," Henry said and suddenly grabbed Charlotte.
Charlotte was pressed against the floor-to-ceiling window.
Below, she could see tall buildings.
As soon as Charlotte tried to turn around, she felt pressure on her back.
Henry pressed against her.
She felt a tingling sensation on her neck.
Henry was kissing her neck.
Charlotte felt itchy and flustered. She blurted out, "President Stevens, I weigh ninety-eight pounds!"
Henry heard her words.
Anxiously, Charlotte said, "I don't think you are light, either! Are you sure that with all of our weight on this glass, it won't break?"
Henry didn't reply.
Charlotte said more dramatically, "President Stevens, this is the twenty-eighth floor.
If we fall, we will definitely die."
Only then did Henry spit out, "I would rather die at the hands of a beauty. Then, in death, I will still be amorous, even as a ghost."
"But the beauty doesn't want to die!" Charlotte had a dejected expression on her face.
Henry put his hand up Charlotte's clothes again and rubbed her, his touch neither gentle nor rough. "Even if you were an elephant, this glass would not break."
Charlotte froze.
Henry's palm was getting hotter and hotter.
His body was so hot that Charlotte felt as if she was burning.
"President Stevens, I'm begging you." She was about to cry.
She didn't want to experience what had happened four years ago again.
"Don't ask me," Henry said. "I will give it to you, so don't be so impatient.
