Chapter 741: Saving Charlotte
Wang Jian understood that patience was key, but now it was time to take his game to the next level.
Breaking through the final barrier with Charlotte and Sarah had proven more difficult than he had anticipated.
Despite their obvious attraction to him and the growing frustration with their husbands, their family responsibilities still anchored them firmly in place.
They were powerful women, CEOs of prominent companies, and their children kept them tied to their existing lives. These factors created a nearly insurmountable wall, but Wang Jian was nothing if not persistent.
He needed to create an intense, unforgettable experience-one that would shatter their hesitations and make them lean on him completely.
That opportunity presented itself when the attacks on their companies and homes became more frequent, and both women began to fear for their safety. It was the perfect scenario for Wang Jian to make his move.
Charlotte had been his first target.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
He arranged a meeting with her in her office, keeping his demeanor calm and composed as he brought up his next suggestion.
She was sitting behind her desk, looking effortlessly stunning in a fitted white blouse and a pencil skirt that clung to her curves.
Her hair was tied in a loose bun, and her glasses gave her an air of authority, but there was a softness in her eyes when she looked at Wang Jian-a softness he knew he could exploit.
"Charlotte," he began, leaning forward slightly in his chair, "I've been thinking. These attacks are getting more dangerous, and I can't help but worry about your safety. What if I stay with you for a while? Be by your side, so when the next attack happens, we can catch these people in the act. I'll make sure you're safe."
Charlotte blinked, her eyes widening slightly at the suggestion. "Stay with me?" she repeated, her voice tinged with surprise. "Wang, that's too dangerous. I can't let you risk your life for me like that. What if something happens to you?"
Wang Jian smiled, his expression soft and reassuring. "I'll be fine. I know how to take care of myself, and I won't take unnecessary risks. Besides, you've done so much for me- I can't just stand by and let you face this danger alone."
Charlotte bit her lip, clearly torn between her concern for his safety and the growing danger she was in. "I don't know, Wang. What if things go wrong? I couldn't forgive myself if you got hurt."
He stood up and walked around the desk, gently pulling her into a hug. She stiffened at first, then relaxed into his embrace, her cheek resting against his chest. "You don't have to worry about me," he whispered softly. "I'm not asking you to put me in harm's way. I just want to be there for you, to protect you. Please, let me do this."
Charlotte sighed softly, her hands gripping the fabric of his shirt for a moment before she pulled away, looking up at him with a mixture of gratitude and resignation. "Okay," she murmured, "but you have to promise me that you won't do anything reckless. Stay close to me, and don't take any unnecessary risks."
Wang Jian nodded, giving her a gentle smile. "I promise."
It wasn't long before the next attack occurred. Wang Jian had spent the day with Charlotte, pretending to be one of her bodyguards, though in truth, his focus was solely on her. They had gone about their usual business, attending meetings, reviewing documents, and discussing the future of her company. All the while, Wang Jian couldn't help but tease her lightly- nothing too overt, just enough to keep her on edge.
"You know," he had said at one point during lunch, his eyes glinting with mischief, "you really shouldn't wear such tight skirts. It's distracting."
Charlotte had blushed, looking away quickly as she brushed off his comment with a laugh. "You're impossible," she said, though he could tell she wasn't entirely displeased by the attention.
Later that afternoon, the attack came. They were walking through the parking garage when a group of masked men, clearly part of a gang, suddenly appeared from the shadows. The glint of assault rifles in their hands sent a jolt of alarm through Charlotte, but Wang Jian was already in motion.
He grabbed her arm, pulling her behind one of the parked cars as bullets sprayed through the air. "Stay down!" he ordered, his voice firm as he pressed her into the ground. "I'll handle
"Wang, I heard what happened with Charlotte," Sarah began, her voice soft but laced with
concern. "Are you okay? I was so worried when I found out you got involved in something so
dangerous."
Wang Jian smiled, his usual teasing glint in his eyes as he leaned against the edge of her desk, casually crossing his arms. "You were worried about me, Sarah?" he teased lightly, his voice playful as he gazed at her. "You know I can handle myself."
She sighed, rubbing her temples. "I know you're capable, but it doesn't mean you should be throwing yourself into danger like that. What if something had gone wrong?"
He reached out and touched her hand, his fingers brushing against her skin in a way that sent a shiver through her. "Sarah, nothing's going to happen to me. But I can't just stand by and watch while you and Charlotte are being targeted. Which is why I want to stay with you for the next few days—keep an eye on things and catch whoever's behind these attacks."
Sarah's expression shifted immediately, her worry transforming into resistance. "Absolutely
not," she said firmly, shaking her head. "I won't let you put yourself at risk again. I can't... I can't have you getting hurt on my behalf."
Wang Jian's smile didn't fade. He was prepared for her refusal. "I won't be in danger. I'll be with you, just as a precaution. Besides, it'll give us more time together. Don't you want that?"
Sarah hesitated, her defenses cracking slightly at the thought of spending more time with him. She couldn't deny the pull she felt toward him, even though it terrified her. But she also knew that she couldn't afford to be selfish, not when her family and company were at risk.
"Wang," she said slowly, "I can't let you..."
"I promise I won't do anything dangerous," Wang Jian cut in, his voice soft but persuasive.
"It's just an excuse for me to spend more time with you. Think of it as me being your bodyguard for a few days. No risks, just protection."
Sarah's lips parted, and for a long moment, she was silent, clearly weighing her options. Finally, she exhaled softly and nodded. "Fine," she agreed, though her eyes were still clouded with worry. "But you have to promise me you won't do anything reckless."
Wang Jian's grin widened as he leaned in slightly, his voice dropping to a whisper. "I
promise."
For the next few days, Wang Jian was by Sarah's side constantly. Whether she was at home, in
the office, or attending meetings, he was always there-watchful, attentive, and subtly flirtatious. He made sure to give Sarah just enough attention to keep her intrigued, teasing her in small, harmless ways that made her heart race. He was close enough to feel her presence, but never crossing the line, letting the tension between them simmer.
At home, things were a little more complicated. Sarah's husband, who had initially ignored
Wang Jian's presence, grew more suspicious as the days went on. He didn't like the way Wang
Jian was always around, nor the ease with which Sarah interacted with him. By the third day, his frustration boiled over.
During dinner, he slammed his fork down on the table and glared at Sarah. "What is he still
doing here?" he demanded, his voice sharp and accusatory as he gestured toward Wang Jian, who was playing with their daughter at the other end of the room.
