A CEO With An Impossible Libido Chapter 05

A CEO With An Impossible Libido Chapter 05

Julian’s eyes lit up in an instant.

He stepped toward me and pulled me tightly into his arms.

He kissed my forehead, his voice trembling.

“Vivian, I’ve been waiting for you to say that.”

I breathed out softly.

I thought to myself, He was so easy to coax.

One sentence, and he dropped all his defenses.

Did that mean we didn’t have to divorce?

The comments screamed.

[Male lead, don’t believe her. She’s lying to you.]

[She doesn’t love you at all. She only says sweet things because she wants the wealth you give her.]

[Your heroine is waiting outside.]

[Please don’t let her fool you.]

Julian held me for a while, then picked up his phone and called Russ.

“Russ, you can go back first. My wife and I…”

A message came in on my phone.

I pulled myself out of Julian’s arms and opened the message.

Nathan: [Vivian, the botanical compound in that flower I brought back from the cliff may be able to suppress the effect of the Succubus Vine.]

[Unfortunately, the flower is about to wither. I need your help.]

Excitement surged through me.

I immediately blurted to Julian, “Julian, I have to go to the mountains. I won’t be back tonight. We’ll talk later.”

Julian was still on the phone with Russ.

The words he hadn’t finished were forced back down his throat.

He caught my hand and asked gently, “Do you have to go today?”

If I didn’t go today, that flower would wither.

Our follow-up research would be interrupted.

Nathan had gone through hell to find that flower on the cliff.

So far, it was the only one we had found.

Flowers only stayed viable for so long. If the research was interrupted, no one knew when we would find a second one.

Bringing withering plants back to life had always been my strength.

The lab needed me. I had to go.

“It’s important.”

I pulled my hand away from his and asked seriously, “Didn’t you say you would support my career?”

Julian’s gaze turned intense, almost obsessive.

“More important than me?”

I coaxed him softly, “I’m sorry. I really can’t delay any longer.”

I thought, I’ll make it up to him when I come back.

This time, I would make it up to him properly.

I would keep making it up to him until he was satisfied.

But then Julian picked up one copy of the divorce papers from the desk and handed it to me.

With visible disappointment, he said, “Vivian, if you insist on leaving, sign the divorce papers first.”

In my mind, Julian had always been gentle and easy to talk to.

He had never truly fought me on anything.

But this time, the possessive darkness in his eyes only deepened.

The comments appeared.

[The male lead finally grew a spine.]

[Choose one, then. Let’s see if the female side character picks her career or the male lead.]

All of a sudden, I felt a little sad and helpless.

I was naturally detached. I needed a partner who wasn’t clingy.

Julian had a high sex drive. He needed a partner who put him first at all times.

Neither of us was wrong.

We just weren’t suited for each other.

Maybe I really should return him to the heroine.

I picked up the pen, signed the divorce papers, and handed them to him.

“Since you want a divorce, then let’s get divorced.”

Julian froze in place, his knuckles turning white around the papers.

I opened the office door and left quickly.

Behind me, Julian’s gaze grew darker and more dangerous.

Inside the elevator, the comments flooded the screen.

[Whoa, she finally signed the divorce papers.]

[With an uncontested filing, the divorce could be finalized in roughly a month.]

[Julian must be hurting right now.]

[It’s fine. Ivy is there.]

[Ivy will comfort him.]

[Perfect timing. Ivy is about to bring coffee in. Great chance to take advantage of his weakness.]

[Our heroine didn’t want to seduce Julian at first.]

[But she has Succubus Syndrome. When it flares up, it’s unbearable. She needs someone to cling to.]

Ivy had Succubus Syndrome.

Something suddenly occurred to me, and I wanted to go back to ask Ivy for her contact information.

Right before the elevator doors closed, I stepped out and turned back.

To reach the CEO’s office, I had to pass through the secretary area.

Before I got close, I heard Ivy’s soft, seductive voice coming from inside.

“Can I go to your place tonight?”

I wanted to hear how Julian would answer, but then I heard Ivy make a muffled sound.

It sounded as if someone had pulled her into a hard kiss.

I stopped in my tracks.

The comments exploded.

[Julian pulled Ivy into a hard kiss. This is moving at warp speed.]
