The CEO Gets What He Wants
Chapter 54
As the train moved from one station to another, Avery felt a strong sexual tension building up between their bodies that were tightly pressed against each other.
Avery dared not to raise her head at first. However, as time passed, the blush on her face faded, so Avery attempted to lift her head to look up at the huge windows of the train and glance at their reflection.
Cayden was standing behind her with one arm on the handle and the other around her waist, encircling her in his embrace.
Due to the huge height difference between them, Avery would have to look upward in order to see his face.
The pervert had only touched her hand once earlier, but Cayden was holding her tightly in his arms as if she belonged to him.
Having heard him call Avery “Honey” earlier, the guys standing near her quickly moved away for fear of offending him any further.
A lot of passengers got off the train the moment it came to a halt in the heart of the city.
Unsure of whether Cayden knew how the subway worked, Avery turned around and whispered, “This is where we get off.”
Since Cayden had no idea which station he should get off at, he only let go of her after hearing that. “Okay.”
Not wanting to stick around a second longer, Avery quickly got off the train and made her way to the exit as usual. She was in such a hurry to get out of there that she didn't even dare look back.
After she exited the subway station, all she had to do was cross a street to get to Trident Group.
Although the walk took less than five minutes, Avery's heart was pounding like crazy the whole time.
He may not be walking next to me, but I know he's definitely close by! I wonder if anyone will see us, since we're so near the office building now... Seeing Cayden come to work by train is like seeing an elephant cross the road!
Cayden, too, swiftly made his way out of the subway station a few seconds later.
He had actually driven over to Avery's residential area at around seven in the morning, but he decided to follow her on foot when he saw her heading toward the subway station absentmindedly.
He then followed her into the subway, bought himself a ticket with his credit card, and entered the train like she did.
As Avery was too absent-minded at the time, she didn't even notice him following behind her.
Cayden had thought that he no longer felt anything toward her after five years of separation, but that was clearly not the case.
Surely enough, Cayden attracted a lot of attention as he showed up at the entrance of Trident Group.
As Cayden usually drove to work, everyone was surprised to see him taking the train that day.
The mere sight of him crossing the street from the subway station was enough to spark a ton of discussions among the employees.
After walking through the revolving door, Avery kept her head low and made a beeline for the elevator.
Despite being the first to enter the elevator as soon as the doors opened, she was still unable to avoid sharing it with Cayden.
Her face turned as white as a sheet when she saw him enter seconds after she did.
It took Avery quite a long while just to regain her composure and push the button for her floor.
A strange tension formed in the elevator as it slowly started to go up.
Every time the elevator stopped at a certain floor, the people waiting outside would quickly apologize upon seeing Cayden and go for the other elevator. No one dared to get into the elevator.
Naturally, Avery received a lot of weird looks from them when they noticed her standing in the corner.
After what seemed like forever, the elevator finally stopped at her floor.
She was about to step out the doors when he grabbed her by the wrist.
“Here, your medicine,” he mumbled softly while handing her a plastic bag with a pharmacy's logo on it. His voice was tinged with a hint of exhaustion.
Huh? Did he go to buy me some medicine from a pharmacy? Oh... So, that's why he asked me to wait for him yesterday! I can't believe I just left like that!
During the train ride, he had been standing behind her with his body pressed against her back. After leaving the subway station, Avery did not turn around and take a good look at him. It was only at that moment that she finally raised her head to regard Cayden and saw what he was wearing.
Instead of his usual formal attire, Cayden was wearing a white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up. The lack of a necktie made him appear more casual and approachable, but he still looked as mature and steady as always.
Avery was so captivated by his appearance that her body reacted on its own, causing her to reach out and take the medicine.
Having been kept up all night due to her overthinking, Cecelia decided to come in to work early that day. She was going to get herself a cup of coffee to kick-start her brain, but she paused in her tracks when she saw a familiar figure standing at the doors to the elevator.
