Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 138: Getting Hands-On

Returning to the Sutton Family’s building, it was already late at night.

Thinking about how Landon Ford still had to return to the company to handle work, Thea Shaw felt a rare sympathy for him.

So she showed some unexpected kindness: "Since you’re busy tonight, you don’t need to send any photos."

Landon Ford: "..."

He pondered over how Thea could say this with such thick skin.

The key was that she said it so naturally, without the slightest hint of awkwardness.

As Thea was about to get out of the car, Landon Ford tugged her back by her hat, his tone somewhat resigned: "Stay a little longer."

Going back and forth, they chatted, but he was mostly acting as her chauffeur.

Thea hesitated: "While I think your triple overtime pay is nice, as a boss, you should be more considerate. Shouldn’t you be concerned about your employees’ well-being?"

Working overtime till this late and still waiting for the boss to attend a meeting.

Especially when the boss is out here flirting.

How scandalous.

"As a boss, being generous with pay is enough."

Landon Ford lightly brushed her cheek: "Stop overthinking things, unless you’re just trying to get away from spending time with me?"

As he said this, his voice deepened, and his playful smile gradually faded as his brows furrowed.

"No way!"

The milk tea was almost finished, and Thea took the last big sip: "If I didn’t want to be with you, I wouldn’t have come out tonight—hic!"

Drank too much, she couldn’t suppress a hiccup.

Landon Ford found her expression amusing, pulling out a tissue to wipe her mouth, "Can you sleep after drinking milk tea at night?"

Thea nodded: "I can."

Her only concern was about gaining weight; her robust biological clock wasn’t affected by external factors.

Though she didn’t gain weight easily, she allowed herself an occasional indulgence.

At this point, she already started to feel sleepy.

Seeing her drowsy state, Landon Ford knew he should let her go back to sleep, but he was reluctant.

Pinching her soft cheek, an idea suddenly popped into Landon Ford’s mind: "Why not come to the company with me? I have a resting area there, it’s just like home, you can rest there."

"No!"

Thea firmly refused: "I have a reputation to maintain, you know?"

She had an image to uphold as a delicate lady; how could she elope with a man in the middle of the night—

Pah, it was clearly Landon Ford who didn’t stick to gentlemanly behavior.

So unrestrained, it’s questionable how he was taught growing up!

Landon Ford also thought the suggestion was a bit crazy.

Initially, approaching her was out of teasing and curiosity, and she agreed so directly. Yet, only a few days in, Landon Ford felt like something was off.

He needed to focus too much on Thea.

The loss of control wasn’t pleasant, but he wasn’t bothered by it either.

Just let it be.

But upon hearing her retort, he snarked back in a low voice: "What reputation? Afraid people will find out you’re secretly a flirt?"

"Why are you talking nonsense all of a sudden?!"

Thea quickly reached out to cover Landon Ford’s mouth, genuinely fearing he would speak so loudly that Zia Sutton—who seemed to have a knack for being everywhere—would hear, making her a laughingstock.

How would she face the Sutton Family then?

She would have to leave this city and never come back.

She attempted to cover Landon Ford’s mouth, and he leaned back, causing Thea to lose her balance, and fall on top of him.

"..."

Just as the atmosphere was heating up, an awkward silence fell between them in the car. The next moment, Landon Ford watched as Thea silently moved her other hand onto his abs, gently pressing.
