My Sweet Seduction

Fight for Love

AS TIME CHANGED, my chest tightened even more. I was not on myself while meeting with another

client. My mind was occupying by Samuel Saavedra. I tried to breathe calmly, but every time I looked All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

up at the clock, my panic and anxiety attack frightened me.

My meeting with Mr. Talameda already ended, but I am still here in my swivel chair and facing the large

glass wall of my office.

From here, I can see the lofty hotel of Saavedra. Even from a distance, it can increase the height and

size due to the few floors.

I put air in my chest and then pounded the diamond ring on my shovel ring. I trust him. I trust Lawrence

and our relationship, and no matter what happens, I will continue to fight for my love for him.

I did not even inform Lawrence of our meeting. Indeed nothing terrible would happen if Samuel and I

just talked.

My heart beats louder than it should ever since my heels stepped on their hotel. I tightened my grip on

my shoulder bag and forced myself to relax.

“Are you Miss Margaux Collins?” A woman greeted me with a sweet smile.

“Yes!” I sparingly answer. Perhaps she is Samuel’s secretary.

She guided me into a private room. “Would you like coffee or tea, Ma’am?” she asked politely.

“No, I’m fine! Thank you!” I simply said.

“Oh, sure! Will you please wait for a while? Mr. Saavedra will be out in any minute!” she smiled broadly

at me before she left.

I wrapped my palms around my lap. I also took a few deep breaths and calmed my heart.

I was startled in the seat when the big leaf opened, and it spat out the image of the strong and

aristocratic Saavedra. I quickly stood up to greet him, but he also promptly motioned for me to sit down

again.

“I thought you would not accept my invitation,” he said as he slowly seated in his swivel chair.

“I don’t mix emotion when it comes to work. I presume you have an interesting proposal to discuss with

me at this very moment, am I right, Mr. Saavedra?” I said straightforwardly. I also lifted my chin and

looked him in the eye.

Samuel leaned back in his seat with his lips twitched a bit.

“I will not take second thoughts anymore. I want you to leave my son Lawrence,” he said with complete

authority.

His words cut through my heart. I quickly felt the ring on my finger and did not show hurt at what he

said.

“You know Lawrence; he’s young, wild, and lively. Let’s just say that he is not that serious when it

comes to a relationship. Of course, he has many more women to meet than you.”

I swallowed. His words were like a thin knife that sat right through my heart. I can’t imagine it all coming

out of Lawrence’s father.

“Given that you have a child, I can provide his needs. I can also give him a better life and the privilege

to be called Saavedra,” he said with a laced sarcasm.

Did I finally believe what he said? I was about to open my mouth to speak but it quickly followed what

was said.

“That son of mine is stubborn, so I talked to you about it. Maybe we understand each other, Miss

Collins?” he said as he curled up his lips upward.

I fall my lashes down. I do not know how I should feel about what he said. How can he be so sure that I

will follow everything he said just because he wanted to? I’m not that kind of person. I’m not easily

manipulated.

“Elliesse is the one I want my son to marry. She’s the example of a successful woman. She doesn’t

depend on what the family has. She can stand on her own feet and make her own name in her own

way. That is what I want for my son.”

Again, a winning smile appeared on his face like a hot summer. “I hope we understand, hija?”

There I met his stares. I make sure I wear my blazing eyes with torches and shot him a disgusted

glance.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Saavedra, but I don’t think you are in the right position to give me an order. Excuse me

too, I am not chasing your son for money, and also, I can provide for the needs of my son. I also do not

claim the name you can give to my son. I love Lawrence, and nothing can stop my love for him, even

you.” Tears pooled at the corner of my eyes, but I firmly restrained it.

He sat up straight before a foreign smile flashed on me. “In that case, we have nothing more to talk

about,” he said with a cold tone.

“I will repeat. I love your son, and no one can tell me not to love him,” I said bravely.

I stood up and exited the room without looking back because I don’t want to hear what he had to say. I

didn’t spend any more time, so I rushed out of the hotel and into my car.

Only then did the tears that I had been holding back drip. My heart twisted. I was hurting for Lawrence.

How could his father do this nasty thing to his son? Why is it so difficult for his father to give us the

blessing? Am I not good enough? Isn’t it enough that I love his son so much that he trusts me and the

love I can give to him? I have my own dreams, not just as Elliesse. But I can prove to him that I’m not

just a Collin’s daughter.

I’m Margaux Collins!

I went straight to my office because I knew Lawrence was waiting for me to return. He’ll make sure he

can pick me up every day even though his office schedule is tight.

As expected, he is already inside. He’s always looking hot and gorgeous wearing his office attire. His

appeal was even stronger when he took off his coat, and the only thing left now is his blue long sleeve

polo.

“Hey, how’s the meeting?”

He approached me to give me a light kiss on the lips.

“It was good!” I said energetically.

I don’t want him to think that something is bothering me, and I don’t want him to know that I talked to

his dad earlier.

“Are you sure?” he asked softly.

To my great surprise, he bent down to look at my face. He looked at me with steeply arched brows.

I averted my gaze and looked out the wide window. “Of course, I do.”

But unexpectedly, he moved closer, and his gaze was locked on me. “Is there something I need to

know? You looked so different today. Did something bad happen, huh?”

I swallowed and forced the glitter back into my eyes. “I’m okay! Don’t worry about me. So let’s go?”

I pulled his hand to avoid it, but he just pulled me back, and he quickly locked me in his big arms.

I could do nothing but look at him. My heart was thumping hard against my chest. I could feel the

electricity building between us.

Lawrence’s gaze dipped to my lips. He then licked his lower lip. His forehead was also furrowed, and

his eyes were intense.

“I don’t want you to keep a secret from me,” he seriously said.

“I-I just had a problem with a client. She backed out in our project. But I found a way,” I said as I fixed

my gaze on the floor.

He stared at me for a few more minutes before finally nodding.

“Let’s have some dinner together.”

I did not protest anymore when he asked me to leave my office.
