Shaun asked Halsey to be his girlfriend .
She was single , and he wasn’t married either . Honestly , it made perfect sense for them to be together now .
But there had still been that three – year gap between them .
Halsey , blushing slightly , said softly , “ I’ll have to think about it . ”
Shaun raised an eyebro girlfriend now . ”
Then , he kissed her .
“ I’m not giving you the option to think . I’ve already decided – you’re my
Halsey felt a warm and sweet sensation in her heart . He was so overbearing , but in the best way .
Shaun carried Halsey into the CEO’s office and helped her take a shower . Then , being extra gentle , he laid her down on the bed .
She was completely exhausted and fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow .
Shaun showered quickly , then got into bed beside her . He wrapped his arms around her , holding her close . After three years and six days , she was finally back in his arms .
He kissed her forehead deeply and whispered , “ Goodnight . ”
When Halsey woke up , it was to the warm feeling of Shaun’s arms around her . He was still asleep .
As soon as she moved a little , Shaun opened his eyes . He pulled her in tighter , his voice still low and a little hoarse from sleep . “ You’re awake ? ”
Halsey shifted slightly . Her body was sore and tired all over . She lightly tapped him with her fist . “ I’m so sore . ”
Shaun smiled lazily . “ You need to work on your stamina . ”
Halsey rolled her eyes silently .
Just then , there was a knock at the door . Martin’s voice came from outside . “ Mr. Lane ? ”
Halsey looked around and realized she was in his office lounge . She had no memory of how she got from the car to here last night .
She whispered , “ Someone’s knocking . ”

Shaun kept his arms around her and called out , “ What is it ? ”
Martin replied , “ Mr. Lane , should we postpone the 9:00 AM executive meeting ? The senior staff are all waiting . ”
Halsey glanced at the clock . It was already 8:50 AM .

They had actually slept in until nearly 9:00 AM , right there in his office lounge !
Outside were his assistants , his employees … How was she supposed to walk out of this building ?
Halsey was speechless .
Shaun said calmly , “ Push it back by half an hour . ”
“ Got it . ”
Martin left .
Halsey quickly sat up . “ I need to get up . You should , too . You have a meeting . ”
Shaun sat up as well and slid up behind her . “ Are you rushing me off to my meeting because you’re worried I won’t be able to provide for you ? Don’t worry . I can afford as many of you as I want . ”
So this was what the new king of business sounded like straight – up bold .
Halsey turned to look at him . “ Who said I need you to provide for me ? ”
Shaun grinned . “ Don’t you want me to ? Didn’t you hear what I said last night ? We’re together now ! ”
He took her small hand and kissed it .
Halsey quickly pulled her hand back . “ If you want to be my boyfriend , then you’d better act like it . ”
Shaun laughed . “ Of course ! If you tell me to go east , I wouldn’t dare go west . From now on , I’ll do whatever you say ! ”
Halsey smirked . “ That’s more like it ! ”
Shaun stood up too . “ I’m off to my meeting . Stay here in my office . Someone will bring you breakfast soon . Let’s have dinner together tonight . ”
He was already managing her whole day . Was this what being in a relationship felt like ?
Halsey nodded . “ Okay . ”
Shaun kissed her , then left the room .
When he stepped into the office , Martin was already waiting .
“ Let’s go . The meeting’s ready to start . ”
