The Substitute Bride: Making Memories Of Us (Lois Stone)

Chapter 141: You'll Be Mine As Long As I Want You 

As the elevator doors opened, Brian and Linda stepped out.

All of a sudden, she accidentally sprained herself while wearing her high-heeled shoes.

Luckily, he caught her before she hit the ground.Since he was already holding her, she decided to snuggle in his embrace.

"It's so painful! Ouch."

"Please be careful, Miss Linda."

Although he wanted to let go of her, Linda clung even more tightly to his sleeve.At that moment, her feet couldn't support her.

"Mr.Clark, it seems that I sprained my ankle.I'm so sorry."

With widened eyes, Brian looked down and noticed her swollen ankle.

"We should hurry to the hospital."

Immediately, they walked out of the company building as he supported her.

"Well, Mr.Clark, I already reduced the swelling of Miss Linda's sprain.As long as she doesn't push herself too much and applies her medicine, she'll recover in a few days," the doctor told Brian.

"I understand."

After nodding, Brian assisted Linda as they left the hospital.

"Thank you, Mr.Clark," she said with a smile.

"It's no big deal.Let me drive you back to your hotel."

When they got to the car, he helped her get to the passenger seat.

Then, he sat in the driver's seat and started the engine.

Soon enough, they arrived at the hotel.

"Mr.Clark, I'm sorry to trouble you.However, since you're already here, why don't you accompany me for a while.You still haven't eaten dinner.The restaurant downstairs can prepare something for you if you ask them," she told him as she sat on the couch.

With a glance, Brian gave an indifferent reply, "No, it's fine.You better go to sleep early.Since you're injured, you can take a few days off to rest.You can get back to work when you recover."

"Is there something wrong, Mr.Clark? Do I scare you? Despite my enthusiastic character, I don't casually flirt with any man.Moreover, I injured my feet.Even if I'm planning to do something, I won't be able to do it, right?"

Linda immediately stopped Brian when he was about to leave.

He seemed reluctant to enter her room.Nonetheless, she wouldn't give up so easily.

Finally, she succeeded in convincing him.

Hesitantly, he walked to the couch and took a seat beside her.

After coming back from work, Yareli noticed that Linda's door was open.

When she passed by, she recognized Brian's voice in the room.

She didn't expect that Linda would make a move so soon and immediately show him her affection.

After knocking on the door, Yareli called, "Linda."

When she stepped inside the room, she confirmed that Brian was also there.

"Hello, Mr.Clark.Am I bothering you guys?"

At that moment, she noticed how Linda anxiously clung onto Brian.

"Hello, Ms.Evans.Miss Linda accidentally sprained her ankle earlier.As such, I accompanied her back here."

Immediately, Brian pushed Linda's hand away from him and stood up from the couch. "Linda, you should take better care of yourself.Be careful, okay? It's only a few days since you started working."

However, Yareli already realized that Linda's injury was on purpose.

The latter just wanted to spend more time with Brian.Linda slowly nodded.

"Thank you for your concern, Ms.Evans.I'll be more careful next time."

Then, Yareli's eyes shifted to Brian.

"Mr.Clark, may I talk to you outside? I have something private to discuss with you."

"Okay." Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

It seemed that Brian was kind enough to accompany Linda.

Otherwise, he would've already left her alone in her room.

After all, it was a cooperation between two parties.

Since both sides would gain from the case, Brian didn't want to make the situation more awkward.

Soon, Yareli arrived in the cafe with Brian.

After taking their seats, she said, "Mr.Clark, our partnership will proceed rather smoothly.However, I hope you can forgive Linda's behavior."

He met her gaze and answered, "I understand, Ms.Evans.Don't worry.I'll take care of it.Are you going to stay here for a few more days?"

"Unfortunately, I can't stay for long.I have an urgent business in my company."

Yareli had dealt with some personal matters in the past two days.

However, she had to return to Italy due to some company affairs.

"Well, you should prioritize the business."

Brian grabbed his cup of coffee and took a sip.

The cooperation between them started two years ago.

The truth was, he always felt that there was some resemblance between Yareli and that woman.

When they finished their coffee, Brian stood up and left.

When he arrived at the company building, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

As he rode the elevator, a thought came to his mind all of a sudden.

Brian pressed the button on the tenth floor.

Soon enough, the elevator stopped, and he stepped out. Meanwhile, Ayla was in her office.She was putting away her design drafts when she noticed that Brian was Standing at the door.

Startled, she took a deep breath.

"What are you doing there? You scared me."

"I had no idea.I've been here for a while.Unfortunately, you didn't notice me."

She didn't realize that he had been standing there for some time.It seemed that she had no eyes for him.

But he was determined to make her unable to ignore him.

After picking up her purse, she gave him an awkward smile.

"I'm sorry.Well, I just finished my work."

"I understand.Let me drive you home."

Brian was willing to be her personal driver.

"It's alright, Mr.Clark.I can go home by myself.I think you'll enjoy Miss Anna's or Miss Linda's company better."

She wasn't interested in his affairs.

However, she overheard a group of women gossiping in the tea room when she went to get a cup of water.

It seemed that he went out with Linda and the two seemed relatively close.Ayla didn't want to pay attention to such rumors.However, she still felt sad when she heard them.

"Is there anything wrong? Did you hear something about me?"

Brian furrowed his eyebrows when he heard Ayla's remark.

It seemed that the employees didn't focus on their work but instead had time to gossip.He thought that he should discipline them soon.

"What I heard doesn't matter.You can do whatever you like."

After turning off the lights, Ayla stepped out of her office.

Brian also followed her. "What do you think I like? Do you have any idea who captured my eyes? I thought you already know who she is."

Suddenly, he embraced her in the dark hallway.His strong arms wrapped around her slender waist.

A loud sound echoed as Ayla's purse dropped.

She growled, "Unhand me!"

"No! You're the one I like! Do you understand how I feel now that I said it out loud?"

Then, he swiftly pressed his lips against hers.

"Hmmm..."

Despite trying to break free, Ayia couldn't step away from his tips.

Soon enough, her red lips felt his breath.His solid body remained unmoved against her continuous pummeling.

"You're mine, Ayla, forever," he said while passionately stroking her back.

"No! Get away from me! I don't belong to you! You never owned me.You forced me into doing those things!" She tried to turn around and walk away.

However, he was holding her so tight that she couldn't break free.

"I don't care if you accept it or not.You'll be mine as long as I want you."

Then, he kissed her lips again.All she could do was hug tightly on his shoulder.He was so passionate in his kiss that she almost suffocated.
