Chapter 337 Kissing Her in the Elevator
Finished
“David,” Caroline enunciated each word clearly, “the way others treat me reflects the way you treat me.”
People always bully the weak and fear the strong. They know how to adjust their attitude based on who holds power. If David had been protecting me, would Andrew have dared to act this way? Why doesn’t Andrew strut around so arrogantly in front of Elizabeth? Because Elizabeth is David’s preciou
treasure.
David lowered his gaze, looking at the finger Caroline had pressed against his chest.
“Alright,” Caroline withdrew her hand. “You do your job as CEO, and I’ll do mine as a small–time formula specialist. I don’t want to argue with you over something so trivial. I have work to do.”
But before she could pull away completely, David caught her hand, enclosing it entirely within his palm.
His fingers gently brushed over the back of her hand, tracing slow, deliberate circles.
Then, out of nowhere, a quiet chuckle slipped from his lips.
Caroline blinked. “What are you laughing at?”
He didn’t answer.
Because at this moment, he felt something unexpected–happiness.
Yes, happiness.
Seeing Caroline so full of energy, so defiant, her arguments logical and precise… it reassured him.
She was alive, vibrant, and full of spirit.
The memory of her lying in that bathtub, surrounded by crimson water, sent a shudder through his chest
Last night, he had truly believed she was dead. He had been terrified.
Even now, just thinking about it made his back go cold. David couldn’t lose Caroline.
But sadly, this feeling… was something he could never share with her.
She wouldn’t understand. She wouldn’t care.
Loving someone, it turned out, was a lonely thing.
No matter how deep, no matter how intense, it was nothing more than his own private turmoil.

Chapter 337 Kissing Her in the Elevator
She was like a siren, luring him in.
And he? He was more than willing to be ensnared, to fall deeper and deeper under her spell.

“You could be living the high life as my wife, yet you insist on fighting me,” David sighed. “Caroline, what am I supposed to do with you?”
“You–mmph!”
Before she could respond, David crushed his lips against hers.
Their mouths tangled, heat igniting between them. David cupped her face, refusing to let her pull away- refusing to let her escape.
Last night, he had wanted to do this
But he had held back.
He had resisted until today, until this very moment… and now, he was at his limit.
He needed to kiss her, to taste her, to fill the empty void clawing at his chest.
Caroline was stunned.
David had kissed her countless times before–but never in the company elevator!
What the heck is wrong with him? What if someone saw us?
But David didn’t care. His kiss was fierce, urgent, devouring every breath she had to offer.
Caroline’s back pressed against the cold metal wall, while his body radiated heat against hers.
There was nowhere to run.
And then-
The elevator suddenly stopped.
With a soft chime, the doors slowly slid open.
Caroline’s worst nightmare had just come true.
What now? Her legs nearly gave out from sheer panic.
