---- Chapter 2 The following day, I headed to a multimedia company per my schedule to attend a sharing session. A shadow loomed over me as I sat down to reply to some work messages. I looked up to see the young man from yesterday. Inoticed a name tag pinned to his shirt-Jeremy Gale was his name. It sounded familiar, yet I couldn't pinpoint where I'd heard it. Once he was sure it was me, he sat beside me and leaned close before I could ask him anything. "I sneaked in here for your sake, angel." His warm breath fanned over my ear, which made me squirm a little. I laaned away and smirked at him. " For my sake? I don't even know you. Will you get kicked out if I call security, then?" His expression turned a little pleading at my words. " I'm here to learn, angel. Could you help me keep this a secret?" "A secret, huh? What's in it for me?" ---- He suddenly held my hand and blinked at me. I glanced to my other side to see someone was seated a few seats away. As my mind wandered, Jeremy placed his hand on my thigh.

There are people everywhere!" ---- We were at a sharing session, so there were people all around us. My colleagues were sitting right in front of us-doing something like that in a place like this was too embarrassing! Jeremy still didn't remove his hand. "That means we can do this when we're alone, right?" I gnashed my teeth as I looked at him with displeasure. I tugged on his hand a few more times, but he still didn't budge. Damn it! I puffed out my cheeks and glared at him, but all he did was look back at me innocently. He didn't stop his ministrations, though. After trying and failing multiple times to push him away, I leaned against Jeremy's shoulder, feeling my body turn to jelly. "What's wrong, angel? Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?" He leaned closer, seemingly on purpose.
