Chapter 2: I Want One More Kiss

"This woman, instead of crying and making a fuss, is plotting to ruin their marriage. How cunning," Edward said. Cedric’s lips curved upwards when he heard this. He knew this was her style. She would do things in a most uncommon way that no one does. He said nothing. Edward doesn’t know that Cedric knew her earlier. But Cedric was sure that Eleanor had already forgotten about him. As of now, he has no plans to reveal to her or anyone. He would just pretend like he didn’t know her. And also curious what she will do to persuade him. "Cedric, she is the one who is helping her father to make the Zora empire stand up again. They even sent a project to our company. And I have to say their proposal is outstanding. But her Ex is not allowing anyone to do projects with the Zora Empire. This is a secret, but no one knows it," Edward said. Yes, Cedric’s full name is Cedric Emerson. He is the young president of the Emerson empire. Eleanor asked this handsome prince to be her pretend boyfriend and even offered 500$. And even called him a gigolo. If Eleanor knew that she was asking the prince of Emerson to be her boyfriend, she would surely die from a heart attack. The Emerson Empire is one of the top 5 companies in the country, Lucren. And even the ZoraEmpiree is also a part of it. No one knows why it has been walking towards the path of bankruptcy for the past two years. Emerson, Callan, Owen, Boris, and Zora. These five companies are always at the top. For the past two years, whatever project they took, it has failed. Their secrets are leaking. Whatever the precautions they took, they are failing. Now, with the Boris empire in the picture, one can understand that they are trying to wipe Zora’s empire. "Why is he doing that?" Cedric thought. "Maybe it’s because of his soon-to-be wife’s pillow talk. I heard she hates Eleanor because Eleanor is always better than her. So maybe her jealousy turned into hate," Edward said. "You know a lot about her?" Cedric said. "Of course, I have been watching her since I was a child. She was always the center of the topic," Edward said. "She is in the same school as us," Edward added. "Why don’t I know about her?" Cedric frowned as he asked. "Because my friend, you never bothered about anyone," Edward said. After all, he is the prince of the Emerson family. "She is interesting," Cedric said. Yeses she.s, she will try my luck now. I will go hit her. She never accepted anyone. But I wonder why she fell for that scum. I hope she will accept me," Edward mumbled. "Edward, how do you know about the proposal she sent to the Emerson empire?" Cedric said. "Idiot, you said you don’t want to do projects with companies that are on the verge of bankruptcy. So, you gave it to me. Also, said if I like, I can collaborate with them," Edward said. Edward’s complete name is Edward Callan. He is the President of the Callan Empire. Cedric’s face turned darker. "No need, give that file to me. I will look into it," Cedric said. "Hey, wait! Why?" Edward shouted. Cedric kept his glass down and stood up from his seat. He strode towards the two girls who were sitting there. "Where are you going?" Edward went after him as he shouted his name. "I’m willing," he said. Edward is stunned by his words. Wait! Does he like her? Interesting! Very Interesting! Myna is stunned at his words. "What?" she asked in a daze. "I’m willing to be her rented boyfriend for tomorrow," He said. "Please move aside," Cedric said. Myna said as he asked. The handsome man sat in front of Eleanor. Eleanor saw him sitting in front of her. "What a waste," she mumbled dazedly as he stared at his face, and she pouted. She traced her fingers on his face. "What is waste?" he asked. His voice is extremely sexy and hoarse. "I can’t kiss you. Sigh.... I didn’t lose my first kiss for that scum. I’m relieved," she mumbled again. She turned her head and took a sangrita shot. Cedric’s face lit up. He is feeling happy when she said she didn’t even have a first kiss. When he heard her reason for asking him to be her boyfriend, he was amused. But he thought she was trying to flirt. But when he heard her worwordshe felt she was intrigued., This little vixen is vengeful. And her words, her pouty red lips, and her body, everything about her looked interesting. Before, he didn’t look at her carefully, but after that, he observed her every action. She didn’t allow any man to touch her. She is like a hedgehog. She looked at Myna and complained that he was not accepting her offer. He felt she was cute. Even now, when she pouted her lips, he felt like biting her ruby lips. But when she said it’s a pity that she cannot kiss him. He felt aroused. He felt aroused for the first time in his life. Many women tried to seduce him but failed. But she unknowingly seduced him. He felt like kissing her. And he did that! Cedric bent his head and kissed her lips. He bit her lips and slowly sucked them. He savored her lips as if he were tasting them. He pulled her from her seat to his lap. He slowly pried open her lips and entered her mouth. He slowly started conquering her. She tasted like honey. And he can taste the taste of Citrus. Maybe it is due to the aftertaste of Sangrita. Eleanor felt she was on cloud nine. She is so dazed by the kiss. She cannot recover from the shock. He broke the kiss only when she struggled to breathe. "See, it’s not a pity anymore," he said in a hoarse voice. Cedric’s friend Edward and Eleanor’s friend Myna are the most stunned people. Myna wanted to break their kiss but was dragged away by Edward. Because Edward doesn’t want to disturb them. Because this is the first time he is seeing his friend being close to a woman. He didn’t care about Myna’s struggles. "Then, I want to kiss you once more," She said, shocking everyone.
