Love Knows No Bounds

---

Emma smiled. "I will think about it and get back to you and President Coleman in two days."

"Okay."

Kendall smiled back. "No matter what you decide, we will still be friends."

"Thanks."

"Well, I'll go look for Dylan now."

Emma hummed in acknowledgment and watched as Kendall walked to the president's office.

"Young Mistress Coleman," Ronnie greeted respectfully as he had been standing guard by the door.

"You may wait downstairs, Ronnie," she replied. "I'll be down with Dylan soon."

"Okay."

Ronnie waited until Kendall entered the office, after which he left his station.

When she was around, they were not needed to help take care of Dylan.

"Honey, your smile is as warm as summer winds. Do you have good news to share with me?" Dylan had sharp ears. Hence, he heard what Kendall said to Emma.

When he saw his beloved wife walk into the room with a bright smile on her face, he couldn't help but smile as well.

"Thank goodness you don't smile often," she exclaimed with a sigh upon seeing his smile. "Who knows how many women you would have enthralled otherwise?"

"I only smile at you."

He reached out with his hand and waited for her to walk closer. He then wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her onto his lap before stealing a kiss from her.

"Is today a good day? You're here so early."

"I only had a meeting with a client, and I came right after they left. Hubby, I just ate with my client, so I can only sit beside you later. I can't eat another bite."

Dylan deliberately feigned dissatisfaction. "Who is this client that he's more important than your husband? Why didn't you save some stomach space so that you could dine with me?"

"It's a client Kelly introduced, and we got along well. Somehow, I just kept eating until I was full."

"Say, do you know who John Read is?" she continued. "He should be a manager of some sort, around twenty-seven years old. He's as handsome as a celebrity. Honestly speaking, his looks are comparable with yours."

As soon as she said that, Dylan sprang to his feet and twirled them around to make it look like she was sitting in the chair instead. Then, he clamped his hands down on the arms of the chair, trapping her between him and the chair. He looked down with a fiery gaze trained on her face.

There was a dangerous lilt in his voice as he said, "A pretty boy could compete with me on looks? Around twenty-seven years old? He's even younger than me."

"Hubby."

Kendall's sweet voice interrupted him. "I'm being serious right now. Stop getting jealous over nothing."

Dylan grabbed her chin. Of course, he was gentle since he did not want to hurt her.

He lowered his scorching lips to press against her red lips. "You remained unmoved in the face of someone as handsome as Frank, yet you're praising some random man right now. How could I not be jealous? Remember, Kendall," he continued. "You're my wife!"

She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck to kiss him once more.

After a bout of passionate kissing, they returned to their previous position with him on the chair and her on his lap.

"I will only ever love Dylan Coleman," she declared.

"Still, you called another man handsome."

"Truthfully speaking, he is handsome. Stop getting jealous, hubby. I was merely admiring him like one would admire the beautiful scenery. My body and heart are yours. They won't belong to anyone else. I only wanted your help in looking up John Read."

It was especially so when Kelly didn't give her much information on the man.

"He's a slippery man. No matter how well we got along, he would always change the topic whenever I tried to talk business. I feel like he has some ulterior motive."

Any client Kelly gave her would be a difficult one to deal with.

Kendall had attended the meeting with that in mind.

After meeting John, she began to suspect Kelly had intentionally given her a dashing client so that she would have to talk to a handsome man every single day.

Dylan was a man who easily became jealous and possessive.

If she had to talk to John every day, it was highly probable Dylan would get jealous. Perhaps that might lead to a fight between the couple.

It was a classic honey trap on Kelly's part.

"You said he's a client Kelly introduced, right? Would she ever be so kind?" commented Dylan.

"Of course, she would never be that kind. It's a trap."

"Yet, you still fell for it."

"I wouldn't know what she's planning if I didn't fall for it."

He tweaked her nose. "You're getting bolder. Alright, I'll have someone investigate John Read."

"Thanks, hubby."

"Just saying thanks isn't enough. I much prefer a more realistic show of gratitude."

She stared at him, speechless.

As the couple continued to flirt in the office, Emma got ready to clock out while she tidied up her desk and grabbed her bag.

Just as she walked out of her office, she found Toddy waiting for her by the elevator.

She faltered before continuing to walk toward him as though nothing had happened. "Mr. Heller," she greeted.

"We're not on the clock anymore, Emma," he said. "There's no need to call me Mr. Heller. Call me Toddy."

"I'm used to calling you Mr. Heller," she replied calmly. "Are you here to speak with President Coleman? Unfortunately, Mrs. Coleman is here. Please don't intrude on their time."

Emma pressed the button to call the elevator as she spoke. Once the elevator doors opened, she swiftly stepped in.
