She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 858

Melanie looked into Preston's deep, fathomless eyes, catching a flicker of predatory cunning. "And if I say yes... what will you do?"

Preston paused, clearly not expecting her to turn the question back on him. His gaze darkened, swirling with intense devotion and a dangerous edge of possessiveness. He took a slow step forward.

The elevator was already a confined space, and within two strides, Preston had backed her into the corner. Melanie's shoulders pressed against the cool metal wall. He leaned in, dipping his head until his forehead was mere inches from hers. The proximity was electric. Their breaths tangled together, and the air around them instantly grew thick and scorching hot.

Melanie quickly averted her gaze, afraid to look directly at him. His face was entirely too devastating; she didn't trust herself not to succumb to his magnetic pull.

"I'd do whatever you wanted me to," his dark, seductive voice murmured right against her ear.

Her heart hammered wildly against her ribs, completely thrown off balance. Suddenly, the elevator chimed and came to a halt.

The doors slid open, revealing a group of laughing employees waiting to board. They froze the moment they saw Melanie pinned against the wall by Preston. From their angle, it looked exactly like an intense, passionate makeout session.

"We saw nothing! We saw nothing!"

"Hurry up, let's go!"

"So sorry to interrupt!"
