Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 169 - 169: Valerie Has Driven Away

Devin was the Vice President of the group. It was so easy for him to disable the monitoring system and dismiss the employees on that floor.

He had recently lost a baby and was hated by old Sterling, but now he was in the mood to buy a new car and play with a woman. It certainly was because he had impeded the progress of his uncle's project by stealing the design drawing. He felt too proud!

But as Dylan said, what could he do with Devin if there was no evidence?

Savannah took a deep breath and tried to resist the urge to slap Devin in the face. Squinting her eyes, she calmed down and said, "Not all women are attracted to the Sterling's men. I bought these for myself. I haven't seen your uncle for a long time."

"Uncle hasn't been with you for a long time?" asked Devin, secretly pleased when Savannah uttered these words in a whining way.

"What is it to you? Are you glad to see that he doesn't want me?" Savannah stared at him with eyes wide open. She bit her lip as if he had touched on a sore point.

She turned around, trying to get away from him.

As expected, Devin ran after her, caught her on her arm, and pulled her back.

"Savannah, I said my uncle wasn't serious about you, he was just playing with you! You believe it now? Come back to me, okay? I promise I won't make the same mistake again and will be good for you. We should be a perfect match!" Devin whispered with joy.

"Back to you?" Savannah sneered, "Devin, do you forget you are married? What's more, you have so many lovers…"

"Rest assured, I have sent your cousin back to her own home, and I will divorce her sooner or later!" Devin promised. Then he turned and shouted to the woman in his passenger's seat, pointing at her.

"You! Come out!"

"Devin..." The woman was dumbfounded.

Devin went right up to the passenger's seat, opened the door, and lifted the woman out. "Get out! Don't look for me again!"

The woman gritted her teeth and left, crying.

Devin went back to Savannah again.

"Savannah, I don't like those women, I was just playing around. I got rid of her. See?"

Savannah felt sick. She looked at Devin with compassionate eyes. Did men always want those they couldn't have?

Devin wanted her back to him not because he loved her, but he wanted to prove he was no worse than Dylan by owning her.

Stifling her distaste, Savannah deliberately mused, as if considering his words.

Devin was pleased with her silence. She would have asked him to go at the usual time, and silence meant she was considering him. Or at least she didn't hate him as before.

"Savannah, I know I was wrong, and I have a lot to say to you." He took her hand and said, "there are too many misunderstandings between us. We really need to talk."

Savannah took a deep breath, trying not to be sick, "Judy and the driver are coming. It's not convenient right now."

"Okay, okay. When will it be convenient for you?" Devin was excited.

"I'll go to your apartment tonight. You may go first." Savannah bit her lip. She pulled out her hand, disgustedly.

Devin, overjoyed, returned to his sports car. He looked at her lovingly before he stepped on the pedal and left.

At the same time, a car pulled up.

Judy got out of the car, walking to Savannah, and asked doubtfully as she watched Devin's car running away, "Savannah, was that car..."

"Nothing," Savannah said perfunctorily, "that was a man asking directions. Let's get the food in the car first."

A man asking direction? It was clearly Devin Yontz...

It seemed that Savannah was talking to Devin warmly. Didn't she hate him?

Why did Savannah tell a lie… However, as a qualified servant, Judy asked no more questions. She picked up the groceries with the driver and got in the car.

***

It was nearly evening.

Savannah became restless and uneasy.

The thought of going to Devin's apartment alone made her nervous, but she decided to go.

Dylan helped her to prove her innocence, and she wanted to do any favors in return.

She changed her clothes and got everything ready before she went downstairs.

"I'm going out, Judy."

"Won't you eat? "Judy asked in surprise.

"Well, no. I have an appointment with Olivia."

"I will call the driver." Judy knew that Olivia was Savannah's best friend. The two young girls often went out together. It should be nothing special at all.

But this time, Judy felt unspeakably nervous.

"No. I'll get back early." Savannah forced a smile, waved, and went out.

Walking out of Beverly Hills, she called a taxi and gave the driver an address. In a moment, the car stopped at Devin's new apartment.

Looking at the fine apartment in front of her, Savannah frowned.

She never thought she would come to this place herself.

She felt a little nervous as she walked closer to the house.

If it was really Devin who stole the design drawing, he would certainly keep it on his PC.

She took a deep breath and went into the apartment, knocking at the door.

Devin quickly opened the door and looked at Savannah with surprise and tenderness.

"Savannah, you come."

Savannah's eyes drifted around the room quickly. As he said, Valerie has driven away.

Devin had two servants who would come and clean the house every day, and they were just sent away because Savannah was coming tonight.

Savannah swallowed her sickness and followed him into the living room.

It was a duplex department with bedrooms and a study upstairs. Downstairs was the dining room and living room.

His personal computer should be in the study upstairs.

She looked back, her gaze falling on the food and red wine on the table.

"Savannah, you haven't had your dinner at this hour, have you? Let's eat and talk. I got a Chateau Laffite 1982 for you." Devin beckoned her to sit down.

Savannah had no appetite to eat with him at all. But she couldn't say no.

"Savannah, I didn't think you'd really like to come." Devin poured Savannah a glass of wine and picked up the glass.

"I don't drink. Didn't you say you had a lot to say to me? Just say it, and I'll listen." Savannah avoided his burning gaze.
