Chapter 468 You Tempted Me (1/2)

Celine had sent several pictures of sexy lingerie to Rachel so that she could choose the most alluring pair for Celine.

She also told Rachel that of her apparent failure that night.

Although Hardy had consumed enough alcohol, it was not easy to sway him. Celine had played all her cards but still couldn't get Hardy to reciprocate. In the end, they slept together without doing anything.

By this time Celine was frustrated and decided to entice him with sexy lingerie.

The sultry pictures made Rachel go red in the face. She looked up to see if Hiram had seen the pictures.

Hiram had no interest in observing her chat records but eventually glanced down at her on the phone. He caught sight of the picture and smiled slyly and said,”I like this one. Buy it and show me.”

Rachel couldn't stifle an awkward cough before replying to Celine,”Is it possible that you misread his signals? Maybe there is nothing wrong with your charm or your personality. Perhaps he needs more time to get comfortable in the relationship?”

The phone rang in Rachel's hand. Celine had chosen to call instead of texting to respond.

”Oh, Rachel. What should I do?!” the frustration was clear in her voice.

”What should you do? You can't get disheartened just because he didn't touch you,” replied Rachel, amused by her best friend. She stood up from her perch on Hiram's lap and went to sit on the chair opposite him.

It had been a long journey and Celine was a wonderful diversion from the boredom of travel.

Celine protested,”I didn't. I wonder if he really is an open-minded man. The society we live in is very sexually liberated for both men and women, and yet he didn't touch me!

Rachel, either he is unable to claim his masculinity, or worse, that I am too old to arouse his desire. Am I losing my charm?”

Celine's wails rang through the phone and filled the room. Rachel looked over at Hiram, who absorbed in his documents. 'Her voice is clearly audible even to him, ' she thought.
