The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 139

Maeve was taken aback.

What did Byron say about her?

"How am | supposed to measure you like this?" said Maeve.

Byron said, "I'll teach you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Byron grabbed Maeve's shoulder and made her sit on the sofa behind him. He

bent his right leg and squeezed between herlegs. He leaned over and approached her. "Since you've said so,

wouldn't it be impossible if | don't do as you wish?" Byron asked.

Maeve Reese placed her hands on his chest and tried her best to remain calm, with a flustered look. "Mr.

Mcdaniel, can you please not waste our tduring working hours?"

What she didn't know was that every tshe mentioned Byron as Mr. Mcdaniel, it seemed that their

relationship was taboo.

Byron's spine was slightly numb. He stopped caressing her ear, and his fingertips slid to the back of her neck to

hold her up. He kissed her heavily.

He was like a dominant hunter, and Maeve was the prey that had unintentionally fallen into his trap

After struggling for a while, she beca hunter's meal.

The surrounding air gradually becstuffy and hot. Even Maeve's naturally cold palms began to feel hot, and

her heartbeat becfaster, The kiss was almost lingering.

Gradually, Byron was not satisfied with just taking a little bit. He moved away from her red lips and kissed her

behind her ear, on the side of her face, and then on her collarbone.

Numerous kisses landed on Maeve's head. Her body becweaker and weaker. She leaned to the side and

against one of his arms so that she would not fall.

Fortunately, Byron still remembered where they were.. After sucking and leaving a red mark on Maeve's fragile

and beautiful neck, he let her go.

Maeve's cheeks were flushed, and the corners of her eyes were red. Her eyes were watery.

She still looked charming and adorable.

It was easy to use Maeve's looks to arouse a man's desire to destroy.

Byron's cheeks tightened slightly. He suddenly wanted to bite her

"Mr. Mcdaniel, don't tellyou have to kiss every woman who comes in to talk to you about work?" Maeve

recovered and said angrily.

"What do you takefor!" Byron looked at her unhappily. "Do you still want to take measurements?"

Maeve was speechless.

She suspected that he did not agree to a divorce because he was exceptionally attracted to her body. Otherwise,

why would Chapter 139

he want to bite her?

Maeve was not a walking aphrodisiac.

She wondered if Byron would do the sto Karen

Thinking of this, Maeve's thumping heart slowly calmed down as she comforted herself in her heart.

Whatever the case, he was a good kisser. It was enough for her to sit still and enjoy herself. No matter how she

looked at it. she was not at a loss. She did not lose anything.

After calming herself down, Maeve stood up and took her measuring tape to continue to take measurements.

After recording his size and preferences, Maeve sat to the side and began to draft a design.

Byron's style was too unique and strong. The design sketches she had drawn previously might not be suitable, so

she had to redraw them Fortunately, he didn't have many requests. At the very least, he didn't mention anything

like asking for black color.

In the end, when she confidently handed the design to Byron, he rejected it

"It's crude. Did you even think about it?" Byron frowned unhappily. "Redesign it"

Maeve puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction. "Tve put in a lot of effort.

"Three drawings in an hour?" Byron glanced at her and tapped his fingertips on the table. "I want the best, not

this kind of perfunctory drawing. "Then tellwhat you don't like?"

"I don't like everything. It's getting late today. Cback tomorrow to continue designing."

Maeve frowned in confusion. "I can design at hand the company. Why must | cto your place?"

She didn't work at the Mcdaniel Group.

Byron said casually. "I have my doubts about your standard. | have to supervise you personally."

Maeve was not happy when others commented on her professionalism.

J

She agreed immediately. "Sure! I'll definitely draft a design that you won't stop praising!"

The next day.

Maeve rubbed her hands together, ready to give Byron a surprise. Unexpectedly, when she drove to the

Mcdaniel Group as promised, she realized that he was not there.

"Ms. Reese, Mr. Mcdaniel had something on at the last minute and left. He askedto tell you to canother

day." A male secretary walked in and smiled warmly. "Where did he go? Maeve asked.

"I'm not too sure where Mr. Mcdaniel went, but | saw Ms. Booth's Twitter group chat, it seems she's sick, so..."

The male secretary hesitated.

Maeve could understand the unspoken meaning in the male secretary's words, but her smile faded."|

understand. Thank you

Chapter 139

for telling me."

"You're welcome. It's my job."

After leaving the Mcdaniel Group, Maeve received a call from Lids asking if she was free tomorrow to do an

exclusive interview.

After agreeing to meet tom

tomorrow at 1:30, Maeve felt more relaxed and less frustrated.

She walked to the side of the road to hitch a ride and was suddenly stopped by two men in black sunglasses.

"Ms. Reese, Mr. Mcdaniel asked us to bring you somewhere."

Maeve wondered if they were Byron's bodyguards.

Maeve was slightly taken aback. "Where are we going?"

"The Booth family," the bodyguard said in a businesslike manner. "We've found one of the kidnappers. We need

to bring you there to confront the kidnappers." Maeve was in a daze.

Previously, Byron had said that he would send someone to secretly investigate this matter. In fact, Maeve did not

bear any hope that Byron would do that. Unexpectedly, he wasn't trying to brush her off.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a villa. Maeve followed the bodyguard inside, but he did not go

upstairs. Instead, he led her downstairs. When they reached the basement, Maeve suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Why did you bringhere?" she asked the bodyguards.

Not only did the bodyguard not answer her question, but he also pushed her into a room with railings

surrounding it like an iron cage and locked the door. Maeve's heart skipped a beat. She stood up from the ground

and tried to push the metal door, but she could not open the door no matter how hard she tried. "What are you

trying to do? Are you really Byron's bodyguards?

The bodyguard did not answer her. Instead, he pointed to the iron cage beside him and asked her, "Ms. Reese,

please identify this man first. Was he one of the kidnappers at that time?" Maeve looked over and saw the man's

face. She nodded. "Yes."

She remembered very clearly that this person was the one who dragged Karen away.

"Good," the bodyguard said. "Mr. Mcdaniel wants to know whether you kidnapped Karen Booth or not."

"No!" Maeve denied it without hesitation. "I've never kidnapped Karen Booth."

"Haha." The kidnapper in the other cage let out a rough laugh. "Ms. Reese, you're really forgetful. How can you

forget about us so quickly?"

Hearing this, Maeve frowned. "What do you mean? | don't know you at all."

"The truth has been exposed. You definitely won't dare to admit you know me." The kidnapper smiled viciously.

"But | still
