Chapter 2716 - 189: Flirting with Her
"Now it’s after work hours, you’re not allowed to call me President Redington anymore..." The man walked up, not taking the meal bag, but instead grabbing Molly Wellington’s hand and holding it tightly.
Molly Wellington: "..."
She awkwardly looked around. Though most colleagues had left, there were still employees working overtime on the top floor.
Molly Wellington instinctively tried to pull her hand away from Abraham Redington’s grasp, but it was clear that she couldn’t break free.
"Let go, this is still a company, I said don’t do this in the company... Can’t you be serious?"
Even if we’re going to date, it should be in private. Royal Palace doesn’t support office romances in principle, can’t a CEO set an example?
Abraham Redington didn’t let go and mischievously squeezed her hand: "Does this count as not being serious, then what does this count as?"
With that, Abraham Redington leaned closer, slightly bending over, blowing air lightly at her ear with his thin lips.
Molly Wellington maintained a serious little face, but it instantly turned red.
The blush spread from her cheeks all the way to her earlobes.
She clearly held a cold and serious demeanor, but her flushed face betrayed her.
This side of Molly was truly adorable.
Abraham Redington observed intently, his deep blue eyes filled with intensity, wanting just to devour her right there.
He said with a half-smile, "Are you saying we can’t be unserious in the company, but we can once we leave? Molly, come to my place tonight, hmm?"
His low, magnetic voice buzzed in Molly Wellington’s ear with a long-lost intimacy.
That string in her heart was plucked again, and now, not just her cheeks and earlobes, even her neck turned red.
"I... we only started dating today, don’t push your luck. We’ll get off work soon, I... I’m going to grab my bag, you go first."
Forcefully shaking off Abraham Redington’s hand, Molly Wellington shoved the takeaway meal bag into his hand, then ran into the inner office with a flushed face to gather her things.
Yes, she had agreed to date Abraham Redington.
But at the time, she hadn’t expected that after years of not seeing each other, Abraham’s face could become this thick-skinned.
Ah yes, back then, wasn’t Abraham just like this, self-centered and domineering.
He always had his own set of principles and never cared about others’ opinions.
Molly Wellington deeply felt that this time, she had fallen for Abraham Redington’s tricks and carelessly got dragged into the water.
...
Before long, Molly Wellington emerged from the office with her bag over her shoulder.
She had intentionally delayed inside for a while, thinking Abraham Redington would have left by now.
But as soon as she came out, she saw the tall and slender man leaning against the wall outside the elevator, one hand in his pocket, the other playing nonchalantly with his cell phone.
Seeing this from far away, Molly Wellington froze for a moment.
Time seemed to have rewound to the past.
Back in her senior year, when she walked out of the school gate, occasionally witnessing the same scene.
Back then, Abraham Redington also leaned like this, under a big tree outside the school gate, waiting aimlessly for her after school.
The sour feeling in her chest gradually spread, and sometimes she wondered, if it weren’t for the breakup back then, for that period of separation.
If everything had gone smoothly, with him at work, her at school, both of them working and studying in the same city.
During her freshman year, she lived at school, and every weekend, she’d return to their shared condominium.
Based on Abraham Redington’s personality, he certainly wouldn’t allow her to stay at school too often, so by the second semester of freshman year, Abraham would have arranged for her to move out of the dormitory and live with him completely.
If that’s how it had been, their relationship wouldn’t have had any breaks, heartbreaks, or regrets.
Maybe they would have happily ever after, all the way to graduation, then marriage.
Molly Wellington suddenly snickered, wondering what on earth she was thinking in her daze.
Quickly shaking off the strange thoughts in her head, Molly Wellington shouldered her bag and walked toward Abraham Redington, "Why haven’t you left yet..."
The man leaning against the wall lifted his eyes at the sound, "Waiting for you."
He naturally extended his hand and grasped hers once more, "Come on, I’ll take you home."
