Chapter 280 Kissed Her Without Saying a Word I had barely sat down when my phone rang again, it was Caden.

"You need something?" I picked up the office line.

His crisp voice cthrough. "Geta coffee" I was at a loss for words.

Was he treatingmelikeanerrandrunneragain? Before I could protest, the call had already ended.

+8 Pearls Since he had given the order, I had no choice but to head to the second floor break room and make him a cup.

Reaching the CEO's office on the 18th floor, I knocked on the door.

"Cin," Caden's deep, smooth voice carried through.

Stepping inside, I placed the coffee in front of him and said flatly, "Here's your coffee." He was busy typing away but lifted his gaze. A faint unreadable smile playing on his lips. "Feed me," he said.

I rolled my eyes and set the coffee down in front of him. “Drink it if you want." Out of nowhere, Caden stood up, took my hand, and asked, "Are you upset?” I shot him a look of pure disdain.

"Let's have dinner together tonight. I'll cook for you. You can try my food," he murmured near my ear.

I shook my head. "Did you forget? I already made plans with Jasper tonight." His face darkened instantly.

"You're not going," he declared, his voice firm and possessive.

I scoffed, locking my eyes with his frosty gaze. "And what if I do?" The moment I finished speaking, he suddenly leaned in. His sharp, handsface closed the distance ... Wait, what?! Without a word, he kissed me! Caden's POV: Rosaline kept going against my words, completely ignoring my frustration and insisting on meeting Jasper.

An unexplainable fury rose within me.

Does Jasper really hold such an important place in her heart? 1/3 Chapter 280 Kissed Her Without Saying a Word front of me? Even if it was just for business, I couldn't accept it! +8 Pearls Overcwith jealousy, I lowered my head and pressed my lips against hers without a second thought. Her lips were unbelievably soft, melting against mine.

Her sweet, alluring taste, iscent of cherry blossoms made my breath hitched. My hands instinctively held onto her, refusing to let go.

That familiar, gentle scent clung to her, bringing a deep warmth to my heart.

It was exactly like before.

In a trance, I found myself transported back to eight years ago, trapped inside that dark, windowless room with Tessa.

Not far away, a big black bear stood, its neck wrapped in thick chains.

Back then, I had been terrified of bears.

But Tessa, slender yet fearless, had wrapped her arms aroundwithout hesitation.

She wrapped her arms aroundtightly, her clear, soothing voice echoing in my ears as she said with unwavering certainty, "Caden, don't be scared. I'll keep you safe!" Held in her embrace, I caught a faint, sweet fragrance from her. It was soft and comforting, and for sreason, it madefeel completely at ease.

That warmth... it was exactly like this moment.

Why do I keep feeling that Rosaline is the sgirl who once made my heart race and lingered in my mind eight years ago? Overcby an intense possessiveness, I deepened the kiss, my breath turning ragged. In her deep, obsidian eyes, a flickering heat ignited.

Rosaline's POV: The unexpected kiss leftmomentarily frozen.

I wanted to push him away, but Caden firmly grasped my hands, refusing to let go.

This sensation... I couldn't describe it.

Even Freya was affected, her presence withinletting out a soft, pleased hum.

The air in the CEO's office grew hotter and heavier and kept rising ...

Just as our heated kiss deepened, a sharp voice abruptly shattered the tension in the room.

"Rosaline, what do you think you're doing?!" Caden and I snapped our eyes open, reluctantly pulling apart. Standing at the doorway was Wendy, her expression dark with jealousy.

2/3 Chapter 280 Kissed Her Without Saying a Word She stormed in, her gaze burning with hostility as she glared at me.

+8 Pearls Caden released me, casually straightening his slightly rumpled shirt, his face calm and composed. He cast a fleeting glance at Wendy and asked, "Why are you here?"

Wendy yankedaway and flashed what she believed to be a charming smile at Caden. "Qaden, I cwith my brother to discuss the partnership between the Wild Pack and the Eclipse Pack." His voice remained cold and uninterested. "Where is he?" "Oh, he's parking the car. He'll be here any minute." Wendy's eyes lingered on Caden, filled with barely concealed admiration.

Outside the office, Michael, Alpha from the Wild Pack approached. "Wendy, why didn't you wait for me?"

"Michael, you're right on time." Wendy seized Michael's arm, her voice icy as she turned to me. Rosaline, we're tom here to discuss business with Caden. What exactly are you doing here?"

I met Wendy's gaze with calm composure. "Ms. Crawford, I'm also 19 in the middle of a business discussion with Caden. I assyou understand the significance of being the first to arrive?" "Michael, escort your sister to the meeting room and wait there," Caden said with a sly grin, addressing Michael with a cold tone.

"Alright, we'll wait for you in the meeting room after you're finished." Michael nodded and guided Wendy out of the CEO's office.

Wendy shotan angry glare. "Michael, earlier Rosaline ... " "That's enough, Wendy. Since Caden has asked you to wait, just do as he says," Michael replied without hesitation, pulling her away.

Wendy shot one last furious look at me.

I responded by making a face at her.
