After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

The others were nowhere to be seen, and Aveline had no idea where they had all gone. She glanced suspiciously in the direction of the office; at this time, Maria should have been there. "Hmm..."

Just as she was about to walk over, another sound reached her ears. She paused, stopped in her tracks, and left directly.

Inside the office.

Maria was gripping Sidney's tie, looking at his furrowed brows. She teased, "What's wrong, little Sidney? Did you have too much to drink at lunch? Want me to help you?"

Her eyes were sultry, her soft body brushing lightly against his.

Sidney's body tensed instantly, the veins on his forehead standing out, his refined, handsome face showing a hint of restraint. His breathing became heavy as he abruptly pushed Maria away. "What... are you doing?"

Seeing him trying to keep his composure while also holding on to his self-control, Maria couldn't help but look at him with newfound interest. "Can't you see?" Maria's eyes seemed to draw him in, staring straight at him. "I want to take advantage of you. Are you willing to be my target?" The veins on Sidney's forehead throbbed. "Get lost!"

He had sensed something was off earlier. Maria had been paying him too much attention lately. And now, she wasn't even bothering to hide it.

He was furious and embarrassed, but Maria wasn't angry; instead, she smiled coyly and said, "Sidney, I saw someone put something in that drink of yours. By the look of you, it seems to be taking effect. Going to the hospital now won't help much.

"You could try soaking in cold water or just endure it, but doing that might cause significant damage to your body. You're still so young-what will you do if you can't function well in the future?"
