Leap OF Fate

Chapter 34

The weekend came and went. Serene’s heart and head were at odds with each other. Her heart simply

reminded her how good Justin felt and how naturally they fit in each other’s arms. It spoke of the hard

truth that they were in. He’s Bryan’s brother-in-law. Although it should not really matter since hers and

Bryan’s story ended when he chose Chester, it still put her and Justin in a messy situation.

Fate just had to bring them all together at such a time and predicament. So what happens when the

four of them meet? Wouldn’t it be awkward?

Serene mustered all her strength to get out of the bed and ready herself. She had a scheduled meeting

with Arthur’s team. As much as she wanted to skip work, she couldn’t. This deal mattered to Al so

much, and she did not want him to lose face. So, she dragged herself to the bathroom and in less than

an hour, walked out of her hotel room.

As usual, she was the first to arrive in the conference room. She prayed really hard that Justin not

attend this meeting. She’s so not prepared to see him again. Flashes of them kissing and feeling each

other appeared in her mind. She felt a warm moistness in her underwear. She cursed inwardly at her

body’s reaction.

Justin arrived together with Arthur’s team shortly after she settled in the conference room. She cannot

help but blush when their eyes meet. Their brief interaction sent a tingle down her spine.

She took a deep breath to calm her nerves. She avoided Justin’s eyes and proceeded with the

meeting’s agenda.

Today, she’d be showing Arthur’s team the flat file that contained their test data, which they would use

to integrate into their accounting software.

Throughout the meeting, she avoided interacting with Justin as much as she could. Thankfully, today’s

agenda’s right up Arthur’s alley. He occupied her for the entire hour and a half.

When the meeting ended, as usual, Arthur’s team left first. She concentrated on tidying up her things,

doing her best to ignore Justin’s presence.

Justin meanwhile amusedly watched her as she scrambled to put things back inside her bag. Her

forehead creased as her brows met in between. She focused on what she was doing.

Shaking his head, he stood from his chair and walked towards her. He hugged her slightly and sniffed

her nape. “I missed you,” he said as he buried his face in her neck.

Serene straightened her back when she felt Justin’s arm wrap around her waist. The hair at the back of

her neck stood up as soon as his lips touched it. Her knees felt weak when he rested his face on her

neck. His stubbles tickled her, sending shivers all over her body. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“We’re in the office,” she tried her best to sound stern.

“I know,” choosing to ignore her warning, he bit her earlobe. He smiled when he heard her soft gasp.

He turned her around to face him. Her bottom touching the edge of the table.

Justin bent his head and captured her mouth. He bit on her lower lip, then inserted his tongue in her

mouth.

Serene felt her bones turn to jelly as soon as Justin’s mouth met hers. She held onto the table’s edge

for strength and support. Her brain screamed at her to push Justin away, but her body vetoed it. Her

tongue met his as his kiss deepened.

He pushed her harder to the table and settled himself in between her legs. Serene could feel his

growing erection brush her leg. It drove her crazy.

Justin’s hand travelled down her back, caressing her through her clothes. He kissed her neck, which

sent waves upon waves of heat to her body. She cannot help but arch her back when she felt Justin’s

hand on top of her breast.

He kneaded them gently. She moaned in satisfaction, driving him crazy.

The fabric of her blouse did not stop him from feeling how her nipple stood erect from his touch.

Encouraged by this reaction, he captured her mouth once more and kissed deeply.

Serene’s mind was in a mess. She felt Justin’s growing arousal as the space between them closed.

Cough!

Serene’s soul left her body when she heard the sound. She did not dare turn her head to the source.

She looked at Justin, mortified. Her face devoid of color, eyes so round, they could pop out of her head,

her jaws almost reached the ground.

Justin moved away from her, giving her space. She quickly tidied up herself, pulling her clothes back in

place. The heat going up her cheeks burned her. With trembling hands, she struggled to grab her

things and stuff them in her bag, but her bag did not want to cooperate. Her things just won’t fit inside.

Frustrated, she picked up her laptop, hugged it to her chest and prepared to leave.

However, when she lifted her head, she saw the other people in the conference room. She stood

rooted in her place and wished for the ground to open and swallow her.

Bryan and Chester stood there, standing beside each other, looking at her. Chester looked at his

brother, surprised, while Bryan looked like he was trying very hard to suppress his grin.

Serene glared at him. She took a deep breath and walked out of the conference room, as quickly as

her high-heeled feet could.

“Shen, you left your bag.” Bryan’s amused voice rang in the corridor, but she simply ignored it. Keeping

her back as straight as she could while she continued to walk forward, she simply raised her hand and

gave him the middle finger.
