Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Fortunately, the matter was settled, or they would have had more troubles.

The chief executive of Zagreb Film wiped the cold sweat on his head and nodded.

Dylan swiveled his chair around. Though he didn't lose his temper or shout at them, his cold eyes and the hard line of his lips showed that he was furious.

"You said a girl altered the dress, so Abby agreed to wear it?"

"Yes." The executive nodded hastily.

"Is she from our design department?"

"No, according to Abby's agent... She's a young woman we don't know, maybe a fan." The executive hesitated and said.

Dylan slightly knitted his brows. There was tight security at the hotel, and it was hard for unrelated people or fans to sneak in. But anyway, they should thank the girl who solved the problem and helped Zagreb Film off trouble.

"Find that girl and give her a reward," Dylan commanded Garwood as he cast a sardonic glance at the leaders of Zagreb Film as if to laugh at them for their uselessness.

Garwood immediately nodded and left the office.

"Don't be too free with your people," Be said accusingly and then asked them to leave.

Twenty minutes later, Garwood came back with his laptop in a great hurry.

"I just got the surveillance video from the hotel and saw clearly the woman who helped to alter the dress... Here it is," said Garwood in a rapid way as he placed his laptop on the desk and turned the screen toward Dylan.

Why so excited? Dylan glanced suspiciously at the screen, and suddenly something on the screen held him still.

In the video, a slim young woman in her white shirt and blue jeans, with a canvas bag across her shoulder, was walking in the corridor. Her attention seemed to be caught by the noise from Abby's suite, and she stopped at the door and walked in.

Dylan's sharp eyes were riveted on the screen. Although the surveillance camera had limited pixels and the images were not very clear, he knew that the figure on the screen was that little woman.

She looked in good spirits, more attractive than she had been three years ago, and a little more confident.

She was back. An indefinable overmastering passion came to Dylan's eyes.

"I've checked with Abby's agent, and the woman is... Miss Schultz." The two words seemed to come with difficulty from Garwood's mouth.

No one in the Sterling family dared to mention this name in front of Dylan in these three years.

Dylan's face remained expressionless, and a storm of emotion surged through him. It has been three years that the little had left, and now she returned.

He grew crueler and more calloused as a businessman, and the Sterling group had grown rapidly in these three years. Its competitors trembled with fear on hearing Dylan Sterling's name. If he was a business talent before, now he was more like a pitiless tyrant in the business world. But in fact, Dylan devoted himself to business and remained indifferent to anything else in order to not think of the little woman.

But he could hardly keep calm today.

"Go check it out," snapped Dylan when Savannah walked out of the room and disappeared in the video.

Garwood knew exactly what he wanted. He left the office immediately.

An atmosphere of tension filled the room. Only a clock and the man's heavy breathing could be heard.

Every minute had been as long as a century. Dylan replayed the video and paused it when Savannah appeared. He stared at her image on the screen with an intent gaze, his palms hot and sweating.

How long had it been since his emotion got out of control?

He was always calm and composed, and nothing could affect his emotions these three years.

Maybe he was so focused that he didn't even notice the knock on the door. Only when it was pushed open did he heard the noise and raise his head.

A beautiful woman in a loud dress swayed her lips as she walked in.

"Excuse me, Mr. Sterling. I've knocked on the door, but nobody answered..." She said coyly.

The woman was Abby.

Dylan frowned when he saw the coming one was not Garwood. He sat up straight and closed the laptop lid.

"What's up?"

"I heard that you canceled my next advertising endorsement. What did I do wrong?" Abby puffed her red lips and said in a pathetic voice, moving to the desk.

As soon as the manager of Zagreb Film left the CEO's office, he called and told Abby Dylan's decision.

Then Abby came to the big boss immediately.

She bypassed the desk and went up to the man, stopped in front of him. Dylan stared at her with cold eyes, as if he would drive her out immediately if she dared to move nearer.

Abby had been in showbiz for many years, and she had dealt with all kinds of handsome actors or male models, but the man in front of her was still the most attractive man she had ever seen. He was not only handsome but also powerful and rich. He was the goal of every woman.

In fact, she had planned to hook up with him after the Sterling group took over Zagreb Film and Dylan became her big boss, but she never found a good chance. She never heard he had any scandal or affairs, and people even guessed whether he liked men.

Three years ago, news came out that Mr. Sterling got married. However, the wedding was not held as planned, and it seemed to be canceled without any reason. The Sterling family passed the thing off quietly, and there was no news or report about it. After a while, this matter became only a hazy memory, and Mr. Sterling's love life became more mysterious.

"Why? You don't know why?" Dylan was rigid and impressive.

Abby was not stupid. She immediately knew that her behavior had really annoyed him. After all, she had read too many men, and she knew clearly that mature men preferred sensible and wise women.
