Chapter 161

Captivation Want Nothing But You Chapter 161 by Adolf Dunne

In the CEO’s office on the thirty-third floor The moon could be clearly seen up in the sky. It shone delicately through the French windows, thereby making the originally dark office slightly bright. Ivan knocked on the door before walking in. When he entered, a strong smell of smoke greeted him. His eyes caught the sight of Victor sitting behind the desk. “Mr. Sullivan?” “Hm.” The voice that answered him was low and hoarse, perhaps because the speaker had smoked a few cigarettes.

Ivan stepped forward and took a better look at the ashtray on the table. There were at least five cigarette butts in it. This came as a surprise to him. This was definitely the first time that he had seen him smoke so many cigarettes. It wasn’t in Victor’s nature to have more than one or two sticks. But tonight, it seemed that he had been smoking for a long time.

“Ivan!”

“Is there something I have got to do for you, Mr. Sullivan?” Ivan suppressed his astonishment and gave a reply. Victor looked up at him and leaned back. He almost drifted into the darkness. His dark eyes were full of obscure emotions. After a moment of silence, he asked, “Are you in love with someone?” “What?” Ivan was really stunned by the question. This made him to think that his ears misheard the words.

“Mr. Sullivan, did you just ask me if I have someone I like?” Victor didn’t say a word. But his silence only proved that Ivan heard right. He didn’t get it wrong. It was not a particularly strange question. But what shocked him was that it came from Victor, who had always been abstinent. There was never a time when he showed any interest in women. It was quite abnormal for him to ask such a question. ‘Wait! Maybe Mr. Sullivan suddenly finds out that he likes men!

And that is why he asked me that question. Does he have a kind of affection for me?’ The expression on Ivan’s face changed slightly albeit noticeably. He took a step back, swallowed and said, “Mr. Sullivan, I… I am into women.” Notwithstanding, it was clear that his answer didn’t sound very convincing to Victor. “I know you like women.” “I am not into men!” Ivan was quick to add.

Victor frowned. “What I asked is quite simple to answer, isn’t it? Just tell me if there’s someone you like. Do you think I was asking you about your sexual orientation?” “Weren’t you asking me about it?” Ivan appeared astounded. Victor fixed his gaze at him without saying anything. Ivan looked back at him before coming back to his senses. ‘Maybe I’m thinking too much. Mr. Sullivan doesn’t seem like someone who is interested in men.’

was that?” “It’s in middle school,” Ivan replied. “But I haven’t seen her for so long. Maybe I wasn’t really into her.” There was a brief moment of silence. Then, Victor asked yet another question.
