Chapter 938:
Domenic was taken aback; she clearly hadn’t understood a thing!
“Domenic, Mr. Barton needs you p>
With no time to clarify, Domenic rushed off to Austin’s office. Upon Domenic’s arrival, Yelena immediately asked, “Domenic, did you come across a piece of paper on the table? It belongs to me p>
Seeing Domenic’s tearful look, Yelena realized something was wrong.
“Even though I recognize it’s yours, Miss Roberts, my colleagues don’t. And they think…” Domenic managed to say.
Yelena slapped her forehead in dismay. “I’m sorry, I accidentally put it on Austin’s table. I didn’t mean for p>
Yelena hadn’t noticed that her drawing had ended up among the documents that Domenic had taken away with him.
Domenic handed back the drawing to Yelena. Austin, peeking over, smiled subtly, his eyes twinkling with amusement. “I didn’t realize you liked me so much,” Austin teased.
Moving closer, he whispered near her ear, sending shivers down her spine.
Yelena’s body reacted with a jolt of electricity at his proximity. Biting her lip, Yelena reached for the drawing. “Just give it back. It was only a sketch p>
As he evaded her grasp, Austin’s playful grin widened. “Actually, this sketch is clearly of me. It can’t be just yours.” Austin then secured the drawing in his desk drawer.
“I need it back p>
Yelena moved to retrieve it but stumbled into Austin, who caught her effortlessly and lifted her onto the desk. His gaze fixed on hers, deep and mesmerizing, drew her in.
Caught in his intense gaze, Yelena’s eyes clouded slightly, her heart racing.
“Au-Austin…” she uttered nervously.
With a voice low and husky, Austin brushed his nose against hers, murmuring, “Go on… Say my name p>
“Mmm p>
After a long and passionate kiss, Austin finally let go, and Yelena settled comfortably into his embrace, her cheeks flushed with warmth.
Their time apart had been lengthy, and he had missed her so much. “Once I finish with my tasks, we’ll visit my grandma together, okay?” Austin proposed gently, clasping Yelena’s hand.
Softly, Yelena agreed with a nod. “Okay p>
As he continued his work, Austin had Yelena sit next to him.
Out of boredom, Yelena began perusing his documents.
Initially, Austin didn’t notice her actions. However, he soon realized she was making notations with a pen. Peering closer, he admired her meticulousness in spotting discrepancies.
A slow smile formed on Austin’s lips. “Seems like I won’t have to bring in anyone else after all p>
Yelena cast him a sharp glance and said, “Don’t get any ideas. I’m not working for you p>
“Fine, fine, you won’t be working. You’ll just be the boss’s wife,” he joked.
“I refuse. I intend to be my own boss,” Yelena said.
“Alright, alright p>
Austin chuckled, though he didn’t fully grasp her determination.
That evening, Austin phoned Maggie, announcing Yelena’s visit. The moment Maggie learned that Yelena was in Kheley, she was overjoyed and immediately started preparing a feast.
