No Escape From the Ex-husband by Summer Winters

Chapter 0055 

When she was at work, it was as if she was in another world. 

Her gaze was entirely focused on the screen in front of her. The light from the screen accentuated the highlights and shadows of her face. 

She wasn’t aware that he was attracted by the sight of her being focused on her work. 

It took almost half an hour for her to amend the inconspicuous flaws in her draft. 

She sent the document to Kendrick’s inbox and then took the opportunity to stretch her arms and legs. 

Right when she was immersed in her short break, Kendrick had walked to the front of her desk. 

He bent down and looked at her. “Ms. Meadows, I do not wish to employ a corporate spy.” 

Samantha could see her reflection in his eyes. At the same time, she could feel the wind of his breath on her cheeks, but it was chilling to the bone. 

She withdrew her hands and stared bravely back at him. 

She decided to use reverse psychology on him. “A spy? Do you think a small 

designer like myself would be able to make your company fall?” 

Kendrick seemed to ease up on his glum expression, but he still raised his hand and grabbed her chin. 

“Of course not. Just stay away from him.” 

She couldn’t argue with his threatening words. Even if she intended to, Conrad, who was difficult to grasp, might not even cooperate with her. 

That said, she still hated how arrogant Kendrick looked. Perhaps it was this same arrogance that ruined her family’s business back then. 

Samantha lifted her hand and gripped Kendrick by the wrist.

She said in a low voice, “We are just friends. I don’t think it’s any of your business, Mr. Ford.” 

Her words finally made him snap. He went along with his current position and gave her a forceful k*ss on her l*ps. 

Rather than a k*ss, it was more like a bestial collision. Her eyes shot open wide. 

In her attempt to free herself, she bit down hard on his l*p until it bled. 

Kendrick winced in pain, but he overpowered her defense with his persistence. 

It was rather inconvenient engaging in all that action with the desk between them. But, the atmosphere between them was changing slowly. 

Even Samantha’s cheeks flushed red. 

He had such monstrous vigor! 

She was even fearful that she was going to suffocate to death from his k*ss. 

Fortunately, he let go of her in time. He felt the wound on his l*p throbbing in pain but pushed the thought aside. 

“You are my secretary and an employee of our company. Know your place,” he said in a mildly hoarse voice. 

Samantha gasped for air. The taste of metallic rust gradually spread in her mouth. 

She was embarrassed by her position, where she was being forcefully k*ssed. 

But more than that, she was filled with resentment.. 

She raised her hand up high to slap Kendrick to his senses. Instead, he grabbed her wrist effortlessly and pulled her off her chair. 

“Is this how you treat your employees, Mr. Ford? Maybe I shouldn’t have signed the agreement in the first place!” Samantha raised her voice. 

Kendrick stared at the way that Samantha was being enraged. He felt as if he could 

no longer see the old Samantha.

She had never been so mad in front of him. 

He recognized that he was trying to find a trace of Samantha from this woman 

named Sophia. 

Nonetheless, he was certain that his hunch was right. 

“It was your own choice to sign the agreement.” 

Kendrick’s response dissipated the anger in Samantha’s heart. 

Slowly, she simmered down. She couldn’t help but blame herself. 

So many years had passed, yet she lost her cool in front of him. 

“But I do not wish to become an outlet for you to vent,” she said while looking at him with a cold gaze. 

Kendrick touched the part of his l*p where she had bitten, then chuckled softly. 

“An outlet for venting? In that case, are you treating Linda as an outlet for you to vent?” 

Even Kendrick himself felt that he just made a weak excuse, but he always followed his instincts. 

He hated it if anyone touched Sophia, especially if that person was Conrad! 

She breathed slowly to calm herself down. Subconsciously, she clenched the hem of her clothes tightly. 

Linda was really the apple of his eye. The lonely feeling from that year surged up once again. 

She felt that it was so ridiculous. Any thought of Samantha should’ve long disappeared from his mind, shouldn’t it? 

Linda was the one whom he trusted the most. That was why he commanded her to 

slash her on her face eight times back then. 

Her feelings hit rock bottom, and her mind was filled with burning hatred.

At last, she looked at Kendrick emotionlessly and said, “I guess it’s time for me to get off work, Mr. Ford.” 

She mustered up as much strength as she could and flung his hand away. 

She picked her handbag up by the side and left the president’s office without turning back. 

That was too embarrassing. 

Samantha stood by the side of the road, feeling the night breeze. Her loss of control earlier was only temporary. 

She could hide her feelings well once again. 

She kept hinting to herself that perhaps the memories from back then were still fresh in her mind. Perhaps she was still unable to forget them. 

Kendrick stood by the floor–to–ceiling window, watching her as she stood by the roadside. She straightened her back and pulled her coat tight in the night breeze. 

A red Ferrari made a brief stop by the road. Any trace of Samantha vanished along with the car. 

His eyebrows drew together into a deep frown.
