Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 1040

Seth looked down at the strand of hair linking them together, his gaze softening infinitely.

"Don't move."

He gently disentangled her hair from the button.

Noreen took a half-step back, smoothing out her messy hair, when another memory suddenly flashed in her mind.

He and Bianca Lowell had apparently also shared an overly intimate moment in his office in broad daylight.

And she had been the one to walk in on it!

Seth had even scolded her coldly for not knocking.

At the time, Bianca had been practically plastered against his chest, and Seth hadn't made a single move to push her away.

Bianca had even deliberately claimed she was in no position to accept the files Noreen brought, telling her to just leave them on the desk.

And Seth had coldly told her that if she had nothing else to report, she shouldn't barge into his office and interrupt them!

She remembered!

She remembered every awful detail!

Because of that, she couldn't help but say sourly, "You certainly have a lot of experience."

Seth looked genuinely baffled for a second. "Experience with what?"

"Stop playing dumb," Noreen snapped. "When Bianca was parachuted into Aurelion Group, you two were getting cozy in your office."

She cut him off before he could speak. "Don't even try to deny it. I saw it with my own eyes!"

"It did happen," Seth admitted without hesitation.

But the moment he agreed, Noreen turned on her heel to storm out.

He frantically grabbed her arm, hauling her right back into his arms.

Naturally, Noreen fought him.

Seth took an elbow to the ribs and grunted in pain, but he refused to let go, patiently explaining, "It was entirely a coincidence. That day, her hair also got caught on my button. I actually didn't have any experience back then, so I accidentally ripped a chunk of her hair out."

"Why would her hair get caught for no reason?" Noreen wasn't that easy to fool.

"She came in to talk about work. But then she sat on my desk and started rambling about nonsense. When you pushed the door open, my attention snapped to you, and she deliberately threw herself into my arms. I didn't have time to react."
