Love Together, Be With You Never

My heart raced and seemed to jump out of my mouth at any time. I clenched my fists tightly to force myself to calm down and said, “Mr. Redford, the reason I come here is not for anything important, but to seek for your help.”

Marlon pinched and lifted my chin to make my lips closer to his. He had given me a strong illusion that he wanted to kiss me, but no matter he wanted to kiss me or not, with such a short distance, I actually wanted to kiss him very much. But I could not. I had to pretend to be composed. “Mr. Redford, I think a big boss like you mustn’t mind to have another secretary, not to mention a secretary that knew your fetish very well, right?”

Marlon fell into silence. He pinched my chin and stared at me. My heart beat even faster and I thought I was going to die of sudden cardiac death. My face also flushed from his stare. Asking something or asking help from Marlon was one thing I had never done before, and it was also the least thing I wanted to do. But, no matter it was because I loved him deeply and I wanted to see him more often, or to take revenge on the Cornell family and make them uncomfortable, becoming Marlon’s secretary was the best choice. Not to mention I did not have any other choice at all.

“What if I say no?” Marlon spoke slowly. I smiled. “Mr. Redford would definitely agree. Mr. Redford must not want your dear fiancé know about what happened between us. There are tons of our photographs taken intimately in my phone!” Those photos were taken secretly by me for reminiscence purpose when Marlon slept. I would never have thought that one day I would use these photos to threaten Marlon. I didn’t want to, but I had to.

I sensed abrupt pain from my chin as Marlon exerted force when he pinched my chin. “Rachael, looks like you’ve grown, you dare threaten me!”

“I only want to make a small bargain with Mr. Redford!” Provoking Marlon was the scariest thing happening to me and I could only lift my head and smile at him while meeting his eyes. The force he exerted on his fingertips increased and my chin hurt so much as if almost being crushed. But I could only exaggerate my smile. Marlon slowly approached me like a hunting cheetah. He then spoke slowly one word at a time, “Rachael, you’ve really disgusted me!” My heart ached and chest tightened. It truly ached.

consequence, like, Davidson Cornell!” He spoke slowly beside my ear like a devil. “You can’t harm little David…” Without even letting me finished my words, Marlon tossed me away like garbage. I lost my balance and fell straight onto the ground. “Rachael, don’t let me see you again, you’ve dirtied my eyes!” Upon finishing, the main gate clanked shut before me mercilessly.

the gate, I smiled, and started off. I had actually anticipated this kind of outcome back then, yet I still wanted to try. Maybe, Marlon would truly care about the four-year relationship between us? As I smiled, my tears dropped. I was truly useless and inept. Not only that I was not able to join the Marvin Group, come close to Marlon and take revenge on
