Chapter 7 Delicate Skin
569 Words
Eleanor snorted. After everything she had been through in the past few days, all her bad emotions suddenly burst out and overwhelmed her.
She sneered, "Mr. Anderson, who are you to touch me?"
Unfazed by her defiance, Asher scoffed and said nonchalantly, "If it pleases me, I see no reason not to."
Irritated, Eleanor summoned all her strength to push him away.
But Asher seemed to have anticipated her move. He pressed her knees with his legs and tightened his grip on her waist, completely restraining her in his arms. "Don't move."
Eleanor shouted, "Let me go!"
Asher, however, ignored her resistance and kissed her neck all over, finally stopping at the wound.
He frowned, looking unhappy. "Tsk. Your skin is so delicate."
Eleanor fought back her tears, feeling exhausted. The short hour just now had drained all her energy.
With her eyes closed, she let her tears roll down her face, seeming fragile and vulnerable.
Asher's touch hesitated for a heartbeat before he reached up to cradle her face.
Eleanor couldn't resist, nor did she have the strength, so she let him touch her as he pleased.
Asher gently wiped away her tears. As if he were talking to his former female companions, he coaxed gently, "Wouldn't it be better to stay with me?"
Hearing his words, Eleanor felt sick and disgusted.
She opened her eyes and angrily pushed his hand away. "No, not at all!"
Asher wasn't annoyed but smiled nonchalantly and withdrew his hand.
Staring at the conspicuous bite mark on her neck, he chuckled and said, "Don't be so sure. I'm waiting for you to come to me." Asher sounded sure that Eleanor would eventually take back what she had said.
Eleanor lowered her head indifferently and ignored him.
Unperturbed by her silence, Asher guided her out, holding her arm.
While waiting for the elevator, he received a call from Roy.
"Mr. Anderson, he's taken care of."
"Very well," Asher said. "All clear?"
Roy replied respectfully, "Yes."
Asher hung up the phone and took the elevator to the underground parking lot.
Roy was waiting by the car. When he saw Eleanor, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he immediately bowed, and addressed, "Mr. Anderson."
The mark on Eleanor's neck was quite obvious, for Asher deliberately bit her above the collar of her shirt.
The bite mark seemed to be a demonstration of s*x, especially when it was on the neck, which would easily arouse people's imagination.
Despite the shirt being buttoned to the top, it only half-concealed the mark, making it look like Eleanor was hiding something.
Asher loosened his tie a little and got into the car first. "Back to the company."
"Yes, Mr. Anderson," Roy said.
Eleanor stood outside the car but didn't move.
Asher glanced at her and said, "Do you want me to carry you in?"
Roy walked to Eleanor and kindly suggested, "Ms. Clark, please get in. Mr. Anderson is in a hurry."
Eleanor thought for two seconds, finally nodded, and got into the car.
Serving as Asher's subordinate for over a year, she was familiar with his style of doing things.
He always kept his word. So, if she didn't get in, there was no doubt that he would leave her alone.
Therefore, Eleanor had no choice. She was also worried that Sebastian's people would find out and come to her, so she would rather leave with Asher.
