In My Mind In His World

I chuckled softly, cupped Nicholas‘ cheeks, and gave him a soft peck on the lips.

“Like this?”

Nicholas narrowed his eyes as he looked at me. “That’s not enough.”

I closed my eyes and deepened the kiss obediently. However, my lips did not land on his soft lips. Instead, they landed on his cheek.

He had turned his head to the side, dodging my kiss. “Ariana, do you know what you’re doing?”

Confusion flashed across my eyes. Wasn’t I just following his instructions?

“I can’t see a hint of emotion and feelings in your eyes.

Nicholas‘ gaze darkened slightly as he pushed me down to the seat beside him. “It doesn’t even look like you’re trying to please me.”

What did that mean? I was taking the initiative, but he didn’t want it anymore?

I could only see the side of his face, but he was gritting his teeth. There was also a sharp look in his eyes.

After a while, I asked, “Are we not gonna continue kissing?”

Nicholas remained quiet, while his expression darkened. Soon, the car fell into total silence. Just then, the car stopped by the entrance of Jay Caldwell & Co.

I noticed that Douglas was waiting for me by the entrance, so I hurriedly said goodbye to Nicholas.

But before I could open the door, his arms wrapped themselves around my waist as he pulled me back into his embrace. He looked away as he lowered his head and pointed at his cheek.

At that moment, my skin tingled. “Nicholas, what are you doing?”

With a serious expression, Nicholas said, “This is to strengthen our relationship.”

Relationship? I wanted to laugh, but I couldn’t suppress the bitterness in my heart no matter how hard I tried.

I gently kissed his cheeks before pushing him away. How could someone possibly gain feelings after a kiss? If that was possible, then we would need to keep our distance.

I got out of the car and headed toward Douglas. He smiled at me and said, “Ms. Jones, I knew the two you would get back together. I can tell from the way that he looks at you that he has feelings for you.”

1 followed his gaze and looked over to see Nicholas standing there in the wind. He looked good, but that was it.

“You saw wrongly.”

He said, “No. I just trust your mother’s judgment.”

I remained silent while entering the office. “Let’s talk business.”

However, he needed time as he could not rush things. Otherwise, he might attract the attention of the other shareholders.

I believed in Douglas‘ capabilities, and I wasn’t in a hurry. My goal of coming over today was to finalize my upcoming schedule.

Back then, I had been down in the dumps because of Pete’s situation, so I had barely been able to put my focus on work. But now, it was about time that I got my head back in the game.

Douglas bent down and placed a big box on my table with a thud. “These are letters from your fans.”

“What? I have fans?”

“You’re underestimating your influence. You’ve stopped streaming, so they can’t find you. Hence, they’ve sent their letters to the law firm. Also, take a look at this.”

Douglas handed me an invitation letter. “This is an invitation to the final dinner for the variety show that you’ve attended. They want to invite all of the guests that have been on their show.”

I frowned and wondered who had given the director the audacity to invite me back.

Then, I heard Douglas say, “I found out that the director had been replaced. That’s why I’ve decided to give you the invitation.

“You’ve disappeared for too long now. I believe this is a good opportunity for you. But of course have the final say.”
