Chapter 596: One Mission
Sarah checked herself in the mirror. This was the first time she spent this much time looking at herself in the mirror, making sure she looked pretty and flawless in her dress.
She sighed, touching the turtle neck she was wearing. She wore a turtleneck to the office yesterday to hide the hickeys on her neck. She could hide
it with a concealer but she did not want to risk it fading away so she wore turtlenecks to make sure it was well hidden.
"I wonder how long it will last," she whispered before a beautiful and bashful smile appeared. Her phone beeped so she quickly came out of the bathroom to check it. She hurried out of her apartment as soon as she read Kyle's message informing her that he was waiting for her outside.
"Good morning," Kyle greeted as soon as Sarah sat in the car.
"Good morning to you too," Sarah answered bashfully as she pulled on her seatbelt.
They were already on the road when she heard Kyle comment, "How come you're wearing a turtleneck again? Hmm, you look great in it though."
Sarah coughed and Kyle stopped himself from chuckling out loud because he was well aware why Sarah was wearing a turtleneck, not just yesterday but the other day when they went out to meet Kenzie in her house.
He didn't tease her yesterday as he did not want to ruin the mood on their first date. But he was really itching to do it and did not stop himself from doing it now the moment they saw each other.
"You know why…" Sarah mumbled and she desperately wanted to add, 'It's all your fault that I have to wear turtlenecks! Don't you know that my neck is covered with hickeys?'
Kyle chuckled and asked, "How many turtlenecks do you have? Let's make it a trend and I'll buy you more in different colors and designs."
Sarah was left speechless as her face turned crimson red realizing what he meant.
'Did he mean that he will not stop giving me hickeys?' she thought in disbelief but a big part of her was actually anticipating it. She was practically squealing inside and her heart was slamming against her chest.
Kyle was becoming more shameless day by day and she loved it. Maybe this was why Lana turned down Kyle and Liam did not accept her? Because she and Kyle were the ones meant to be?
'Or is it too early for me to assume things since nothing can predict the future and we're still in the early stage?' she thought with a feeling of hesitation.
She then felt Kyle's hand grabbing hers as he whispered, "It's okay to hold hands and kiss right? Or if you're still uncomfortable you can be vocal and tell me. Let's be honest with each other."
"I guess… Didn't we already do things beyond that? So I guess holding hands and kissing should be okay," Sarah answered and pouted her lips because of Kyle's teasing. How come he's the one always teasing her? Maybe she should put some hickeys on his neck just to get even.
Kyle chuckled, feeling amused. Soon they reached their workplace. They walked inside together and stopped by the cafe to have breakfast first since it was still early.
"Kenzie called me this morning. We will meet her later to finalize the plan regarding the company. I think it's best if I am the one representing her and you just stay in the shadow… Well, that's what she thinks too. She does not want any man near her in case she would be involved in any scandal that could plunder the company's image, " Sarah commented.
Kenzie did not trust the company's legal department so she was planning to create a new team whom she could trust with their help.
"I agree. Keep the girl power thing as it honestly does not suit me. So I will work in the shadow as your assistant madame," Kyle answered with a roguish smirk.
After breakfast, they walked to each other's office to start working and eventually became busy with other tasks. But they made time and ate lunch together at one of the restaurants inside the building.
"Hey, guys! You should come to sit with us," offered Luo who was also there to have lunch with her husband Noah.
Both Sarah and Kyle looked at Noah and upon their CEO's signal, the two agreed to sit with them.
"It's nice to see that you two are getting along well," Noah commented.
Luo elbowed her husband and said, "I think they are getting along really well…"
Noah understood what his wife was referring to so he signaled her to not go overboard, seeing how Sarah's face flushed.
Luo ignored her husband and looked at Sarah.
She could not help but comment, "You're glowing…"
Her good instinct could smell some romance brewing between them and she just could not resist teasing because she loved teasing.
"Thank you," Sarah timidly answered.
The waiter approached them so Luo said, "Order anything you guys want to eat since it's my treat. I mean the CEO's? since we will use his card…"
Kyle and Sarah both laughed.
Soon their orders arrived and they all enjoyed a good conversation while having lunch. Sarah felt that Luo was no longer annoyed at her so she was feeling really good. Choosing Yao law firm was a good decision.
"You two should be careful while working on that case," Luo commented.
"Yeah, I already instructed my assistant to give you the files so it will be on your table as soon as you two get back. You can discuss everything with my wife since she's more reliable," Noah added.
After lunch, everyone went back to their offices. Hours passed by and Sarah heard someone knocking and saw Kyle enter.
"I will drive you back home," Kyle said with a smile and she nodded.
"How about dinner in my place? I will cook…" Sarah offered, making Kyle's smile wider.
"Sure let's do that. Message me once you're ready to leave so that I can get the car ready," Kyle said.
Sarah nodded and had a naughty smile on her face as Kyle turned around to go back to his office. She had this naughty thought since morning. She only had one mission for tonight and it was to give Kyle hickeys on his neck so she could also tease him just like he does with her.
