Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 534: Candice was puzzled, unsure of what he was trying to imply. Milton gently touched her chin with two fingers. His actions were suggestive and filled with provocation. "I've heard that the sex trade is also common in the legal profession. It's not easy for a female lawyer to succeed in their career. Now that I've given you such a significant assignment, shouldn't you show some gratitude? To fulfill the demands of a major client? You won't even let me touch you. Is this how you treat your important clients?" As he spoke, his long fingers slid down to her collarbone.

Candice's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at him. Did he really mean that? He was asking her to meet the "needs" of important clients? Of course, she knew about the sex trades in the industry. That was why she had been focusing on litigation cases. Additionally, the cases at Hope Law Firm were mainly accepted by Bettina and her team, so she didn't have to worry about social connections. In reality, navigating the outside world wasn't easy, especially for women. Bettina was wealthy and attractive, coming from a privileged family, so no one dared to mess with her.

But Candice was different. To protect her, Bettina never allowed her to go out for business dinners or take on cases involving complicated relationships. She never expected Milton to make such an outrageous demand, and it seemed like he didn't even care about seeking her consent. In the next moment, he lifted her up and carried her into the secret room, tossing her onto the large, soft bed. She couldn't stop him. Her hands tightly clutched the fabric of her shirt. "Don't tear it. I can't fix it.

I can undo the buttons myself..." Feel the magic at gαℓησνs․cο Some desires, some longings, once fulfilled, would only make you want more. Because of Milton's dominant personality, Candice had already learned to make compromises. She had only one condition. When he leaned in to kiss her, she refused. "Anything else is fine. Just don't kiss me." She turned her head to the side to avoid his lips. In the end, his moist, thin lips landed on her cheek. Her heart pounded intensely. She could feel his breath growing uneven, filled with anger. She knew he was furious.

He was struggling to hold himself back, but she insisted on refusing his kiss. "Why?" Milton asked in a raspy voice. Candice buried her head in the pillow and responded coldly, "Kissing is for lovers. We're simply fulfilling our sexual desires." In truth, she was afraid. She was terrified of his kiss. If he kissed her too gently, she would lose herself within seconds and become passionate. She couldn't handle his teasing, but she didn't want to lose control completely. Avoiding his kiss was the only way she could maintain a shred of awareness. . . .
