You're The Best Medicine For Me
Chapter 39: Resuming His Jealousy-Prone and Hard-Headed Mode as a Domineering President

"Six years ago, you are floating around on the dance floor at that mask banquet, and there were several men who wanted your hand to join their dance. It was me who had saved you, and at that time you said, 'Sir, your eyes are so bloodshot!' And I told you that it had been seven days since I last slept. I had contracted a weird disease which the doctors had no cure too."

When he reached this point, his face inched even closer to hers, and his hot breath was spraying on her face. He continued in a thunderous voice, "You said, 'Sir, I know how to blend perfumes, and I have recently fine-tuned one that can help with sleep. Do you want a try?""

"I replied..."

"Stop talking!" She shook her head and interjected.

Her eyes were bulging and they were slightly reddened.

A long-forgotten memory sealed off in the far reaches of her mind slowly came back to her because of his words.

Six years ago...

After her first encounter with him, she used to have some expectations.

However, her parents warned her that he was not a good man. She was told not to get close to that man.

Hence, she was hidden altogether by her parents.

At one point, she really thought that he was a handsome bloke who liked to tease her. That's it.

She forgot about this trivial matter very soon, and if it were not because of Sabina's schemes, she would have never remembered this fleeting encounter with that fleeting man in her whole life.

"I replied, 'Alright, let's go to a swing outside that patch of grass. No one is around there."" He kept his gaze focused on her as he continued, "I was just lying on your legs until the sun rose. How long are you still planning to evade me?"

"Who do you think is evading you? Do you think we are that familiar with each other? This is bizarre. You're crazy... Ugh..." After pouring vulgarities at him, her lips were once again met by his.

This time, his kiss was so powerful that her mouth was beginning to ache.

She pushed him several times, but her efforts were killed off before they could pay off.

His hands were placed on her waist as he spun her around and took a huge step forward. Then, he pushed her.

The two of them stumbled onto a massive sofa.

Her tiny figure were squeezed to a corner by his huge frame, and coupled with his weight, there was no room for her to resist.

Damn it... He was forcing her hand.

first, she still tried to be resilient as she kept her teeth shut, but later on he was able to dig into her mouth with his tongue, and the rest was out of control.

Until the very end, her breathing became ragged and she could only sniff his scent in the air. She was getting dizzy after being forcefully kissed by him, and to that end she had no choice but to succumb to him He sensed that she had decreased her tension, and his movements were no longer that barbaric.

With one of his hand gripping both of hers, he guided her hands to above her head, and another round of unrelenting kiss came.

After some unknown period of time, he looked up at her face.

Shirley's face had become flushed before long, and her curly hair initially dangling behind her was now spread out on the sofa. She had her eyes closed while her body couldn't stop shuddering.

As he thought of her life the past few years, all of a sudden Bryan felt a sense of frustration, "Paisley, you must have known that it was me, right? Why did you hide from me in the past years? Why did you put yourself through such suffering instead of coming to me?"

Shirley fluttered her eyes open abruptly and she started to push him again but to no avail. She couldn't even muster any strength.

She tilted her face from him and a cold smile formed on her lips, "Mr. Moore, when you acknowledged Sabina at that time, this news was known to the whole circle. Now that you're hugging me like this, are you telling me that you've mistaken her for your first love? You now discover a girl that resembles your first love, so are you going to employ the same methods..."

"You still want to argue with me?" His otherworldly features were now shrouded in a malicious light.

Damn it. He never said that Sabina was his first love. That was all fabricated by the media.

Every time Sabina approached her, he would always feel that something was missing. To this day, he was able to replace what was missing from this woman. His instinct told him that she was the one he was looking for. That long-lost fleeting feeling.

When Shirley resigned to the fact that any arguments would be useless, she clamped up, not wanting to speak another word to him.

However, he pinched her face, "Is this all because of that man?"

"Mr. Moore, don't you think that you're quite amusing? We just happened to encounter each other, so what reason do I have for approaching you? Furthermore, I am bearing the child of another man, or do you think that you want to be on the receiving end?" She turned her head and said to him coldly.

Since she couldn't resort to hard arguments, she decided to tear off the veil concealing the truth. She would love to know how Sabina would react after losing this man.

The sight must be something she could behold.

Despite that, she was not prepared to reveal to him the identity and origin of her children to Bryan yet.

She harbored hatred, resentment and frustration towards him. She even felt a great deal of regret for knowing him in the first place!

Bryan was riled up by her words to the point that his veins were throbbing, "How do you know whether I would be willing? He has put you into such misery, yet you are still standing on his side. Are you just stupid?"

"No matter what happens, he is still the father of those children."

She turned to face him and refuted with those words.

Bryan let go of her hand in frustration and he sat up and clenched his fists, "Then, why did he never come back and pay you and the children a visit? Do you really want to spend the rest of your lives raising them alone?"

"Why is that a problem?" Shirley sat up on the sofa too.

Her mind was in a mess, and her heartbeat was rapid.

The man on his side seemed to be caught in his emotions. For some time, there was no word from only. She could only hear his heavy and rough breathing.

Shirley glanced at him, "How do you think you are able to recognize me? The mask? The perfume? What about Miss Thomas... How are things going to be now?"

"Stop mentioning her." He would look for her for payback soon.

He grabbed her wrist and declared, "This time, I would not be mistaken. We have many more days ahead of us."

After saying that, he pulled her to her feet.

He opened the door of the suite, and just as he was about to exit, there was suddenly a rush of people in the corridor.

When Shirley caught a glimpse of the figure speeding past, she suddenly grabbed Bryan's clothes and pulled him back into the suite. She then slammed the door hard and exclaimed, “Wait!" Bryan turned around and peeked at her, "What's the matter?"

"If you don't want to see someone hitting me, prepare another set of evening gown for me." She believed that there was nothing Bryan was not capable of. It would be too easy for him to replace for her another set of evening gown.

Bryan glanced at the evening gown she was wearing and his brows suddenly furrowed.

He now remembered that Sabina was also wearing the same evening gown, and she was also wearing the same cat mask.

Sabina that damned woman was still trying to deceive him.

Now, when he thought of six years ago when he had been tricked into sleep with someone else other than White Kitty, he felt an overwhelming sense of disgust. "Who dares to hit you?"

"You will know that soon enough. Just look for me a new gown."

Bryan took out his phone and made a call to Jordan.

In no time, Jordan came to them with a low-cut evening dress with the lower part resembling a fish tail.

Shirley changed into this new gown in the toilet inside the suite and when she reappeared, Bryan was looking very upset.

This evening gown which Jordan had sent over was the tight-fitting kind.

Moreover, the design of this evening dress was very brash. The whole thing was in a dark color which was a stark contrast to her pale skin.

Under the glow of light, the contrasting black and white produced a huge impact in the eyes of the beholder. This was especially true about the part on her chest.

He was sure that with her looking like this and rejoining the crowd, she would be "gobbled up".

Jordan had a delighted expression on his face, "Dr. Thomas, this dress suits you very well."

Shirley lowered her gaze and studied herself, and then she nodded, "Sorry to trouble you, Jordan."

Bryan was speechless on the side. Did they just ignore him?

He turned to face Jordan with his sharp glare, "Go back to the company first. You can't get off work before sorting out the discussed planning and documents." Jordan didn't say anything to that as he left the suite with an anguished expression.

Bryan removed his own coat and walked towards her. He placed the coat over her shoulders and ordered, "Wear this."

"Why do I need that? I look fine the way I am now."

"Do you want me to tear off the clothes you're wearing now?"

Shirley felt a jolt running through her before she glared at him. But when she met his sharp gaze, she still complied to him and take the coat.

When she was wearing the coat over herself, her nonchalant gaze swept over her cleavage, and his throat made a visible swallowing motion...‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒
