Chapter 16 Are You Jealous?
Mayra knew her clothes were disheveled, but she had no idea about the marks on her neck.
She had flawless skin, and after being angered by Ronan, her cheeks were flushed.
Seeing there was no one helping Colten, she hurried forward.
“Mr. Colten.”
Placing her hands on the wheelchair, she said sincerely, “Are you heading back to the top floor? Let me help.”
“Go away,” Colten said.
–“What?”
She thought she had misheard.
Then Colten maneuvered the wheelchair himself and passed by her.
Standing in situ, Mayra then realized he didn’t want or need her help.
Taking a deep breath, she decided not to bother him anymore.
She found her workstation, coincidentally located not far from Ronan’s
office.
There were several young members in this generation of the Morton family. Although Colten was much older in terms of seniority, he was actually the same age as Ronan.
All the young members of the family would intern at the Morton Group.

You Jealous?
Kenelm Morton had this son in his later years. Also, since Colten was clever from a young age, he had been designated by Kenelm as the heir carly on.
Being in this position exposed him to countless assassination attempts on a daily basis, but he had never been hurt.
However, he lost the use of his legs two in that car wreck years ago and had to start using a wheelchair ever since.
Everyone thought the car wreck would make him lose his position as the heir, but Kenelm said nothing. Therefore, the forces within the family were still locked in mutual strife.
Mayra sat down at her workstation. Upon seeing her, Ronan sneered, “Yeah, keep saying you’re not here to pursue me.”
Mayra took a deep breath, seeing that a young woman walked toward her and then dumped a stack of files, almost half her height, onto her desk.
“You’re the new one, right? Sort these out by tomorrow.”
She said while rolling her eyes.
The disdain in her eyes for Mayra was more than obvious.
Mayra said nothing; she opened the first file.
Next to them, several colleagues were whispering.
“Isn’t that Mayra? How come she’s here in the department this time?”
“What do you think? To win over Mr. Ronan. Didn’t you see how much he hates her? Gee. She’s so shameless.”
“This is just the beginning. Wait and see. She’ll make more scenes from now on. She slaps any woman who gets close to him. I wonder what those

at the HR Department are doing; how come they let someone like her in?”
Mayra pretended that she didn’t hear them. Till she sorted out all the files, it was already 9 p.m.
Almost everyone besides her had already left.
Yawning, she put down the last file. Just as she stood up and was about to leave, she saw Ronan walking into the department.
Seeing her, he looked annoyed again. “I know we agreed to have dinner tonight, but Vivi had a fever. I gotta go see her first. I only come back now. You aren’t mad for waiting this long, are you?”
Mayra was already in a bad mood from working overtime on her first day. His words triggered her anger.
Meanwhile, he tugged at his tie and said arrogantly, “Since it’s so late, probably the restaurants are closed by now. How about I give you a kiss instead?”
The corners of Mayra’s mouth twitched. She genuinely thought he needed a doctor’s help.
Grabbing the keys, she was about to leave when he clutched her wrist. Pinching her chin, he wanted to kiss her.
She was so scared that she got goosebumps. “Ronan, I take it that your lower body doesn’t hurt anymore.”
Immediately, he took a step back, looking wary. “You wanna kick me again? Mayra, are you done yet? You better not push me away while I’m slightly interested in you. Or who knows when’s the next time I kiss you?”
Even though Mayra was good–tempered, she was so infuriated by this narcissist in front of her that even her cheeks flushed.
And of course, Ronan noticed the change in her expression which was cold at first. At first, he didn’t want to kiss her at all; but now, he wasn’t that resistant to the idea anymore.
He had to admit she had a pretty face.
Mayra sneered and walked past him. “You’ve got Viviana’s perfume on you. It’s ‘Rose of No Man’s Land‘, her favorite scent.”
“Are you jealous?”
As he asked, she had already entered the elevator. Hearing this, she wasn’t even angry anymore; instead, she was exceptionally calm.
Ronan followed her into the elevator. “It won’t change anything. Vivi is way better than you.”
Mayra was so exhausted that she didn’t want to waste energy arguing with someone like him.
As they stepped out of the elevator, they ran into Viviana.
Viviana’s eyes turned red instantly at the sight of the duo walking out together.
“Ronan…”
Ronan felt a pang of guilt and quickly walked over to hold her in his arms. “What’s up? Didn’t I say I gotta work overtime? Why are you here to wait for me again?”
“Really? Working overtime? Or Mayra is holding you up again?”
Viviana lowered her head, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Ronan pecked her cheek and said to Mayra sternly, “Mayra, apologize.”
