No Escape From the Ex-husband by Summer Winters Chapter 20
Chapter 0020 Samantha smiled and shrugged. “All women like gossip.” Linda’s voice rang in Samantha’s ears, and the healed cuts on her face began to burn. However, a smile remained affixed on her face. She turned to look at Kendrick with a hint of ridicule. “Let’s just sign the contract quickly. I don’t want to take up too much of your time. I’m afraid your girlfriend will hate me.” Samantha appeared to be jealous. Hearing Samantha’s words, Kendrick’s eyes lit up as his mood improved. He smirked but kept it hidden from Samantha. “Alright. Ms. Meadows. Please take a look at the details of the contract. If you’re satisfied with the conditions, you may sign it now.” Kendrick placed the document before Samantha with a courteous smile on his face. He figured that if Samantha wanted to play mind games with him, he would happily take part. He wanted to discover what Samantha’s deal was by pretending to be another woman for three years. “Alright.” Samantha nodded and began to read the document carefully. Time slowly passed, but Samantha wasn’t anxious. The warm sunlight poured over her, encapsulating her in a shimmer of gold. Samantha read the contract while occasionally sipping on her coffee. She looked calm and beautiful. Kendrick’s stare never left her. Looking at her serious gaze, Kendrick had his answer. He concluded that she was indeed Samantha Duncan! Although they looked different, their eyes were exactly the same. Kendrick paused for a moment and then thought to himself that they were not exactly the same. He felt that there was something different about them. Samantha no longer appeared scared and anxious like she did four years ago. She was also not obsessed with always trying to please him anymore. Kendrick was slightly annoyed. He felt a strong sense of possessiveness and desire toward her. He was determined to make her his, and his only. 1/4 +15 BONOS “Mr. Ford. Mr. Ford…” After a long while, Samantha had finally finished reading through the contract. She looked up to see Kendrick’s heated gaze on her. Yet, it also seemed like he wasn’t looking directly at her either. She coughed slightly, and Kendrick returned to his senses. “Ms. Meadows, do you have any questions regarding our contract?” Kendrick collected his emotions and looked at her calmly. He appeared as though he was engaged in official business, though he was staring at Samantha as if she was his prey. Four years ago, he had managed to charm her into falling in love with him. He felt confident that he could make her fall in love with him again. “No. Your company’s conditions are quite tempting.” Samantha smiled and changed her posture. She ran a hand through her curls casually. “It seems like I’ll have to work hard to repay my gratitude toward you, Mr. Ford,” Samantha said half–jokingly as she sipped her coffee. Her coffee had already turned cold. The bitter taste made her frown involuntarily. “Bring another two cups of coffee to my office,” Kendrick instructed his assistant using the office phone on his desk. He looked at Samantha and said, “Your coffee has turned cold. Wait for the fresh cup to arrive.” Samantha lowered her gaze to conceal the emotions in her eyes. When she looked at Kendrick again, an indifferent smile had been plastered on her face. “You are so caring. It’s no wonder that so many women are in love with you.” This was the second time. It was the second time she had made a comment due to jealousy. Although Kendrick did not show it on his face, his mood had improved again.
