Page 84 of My Ruthless Opponent

We had discussed this with Victor during one of the meetings.

We suggested postponing the grand opening of Euphoria but Victor was adamant about doing it as soon as possible.

“I have already wasted a lot of time vetting the advertising agencies. I want to have the inauguration of Euphoria by January. On my wedding anniversary. This is my gift to Greta.” He had said with that same sad look he gets every time he talks about her.

KIM Advertising aims to attain a hundred percent customer satisfaction. We dedicate our all to the project we undertake. Full dedication until we make our clients happy.

So that’s what we did. We researched all the pros and cons of Maui whether. And turned out, we hit the jackpot.

As most of our campaign work would be outdoors, we were so relieved to find out that Maui has more sunshine hours than any other Hawaiian island in December.

I make mental notes for the Date Round as my eyes scan the area.

The sound of the door slamming shut pulls me out of the rampant ideas forming in my head.

I walk back inside the room and freeze.

Raleigh is shrugging off his shirt jacket.

“Why are you still here? And what the hell are you doing?”

Raleigh faces me. With his beautiful blue eyes trained on me, he reaches back and tugs his t-shirt and gets rid of it too.

Unable to look away from him, I shamelessly rake my eyes over his shirtless body.

Starting with his broad shoulders, I slowly glide my gaze down, down, down to the groves of his abs.

One, two, three, four… he has eight-pack abs.

I am captivated. I can’t take my eyes off him. Still, I try and fail miserably as his tattoos tug my focus toward them.

Holy fuck. Raleigh has a full sleeve tattoo.

A tattoo of a fallen angel with intricate details decorates his left forearm with different patterns surrounding it.

There’s a huge clock design along with many small art pieces I can’t make out from where I am standing. It goes all the way up to his bicep. His other forearm has only one band tattoo though.

I stand there, unable to take my eyes off the man who keeps drawing me to him with some insanely strong pull.

My breath catches in my throat as he stalks toward me.

Raleigh grips my chin. I lick my lips and his gaze dips to my mouth.

His voice is low and seductive when he speaks, “I am going to take a shower. You are more than welcome to join me, princess.”

His thumb grazes my lower lip. My eyes begin to flutter and I almost take him up on his offer when his words sink in.

I push his hand off my face. “Why?”

Annoyance flickers in his eyes. “Because I want to?”

“Shower in your own suite, Raleigh.”

“Thisismy suite, Hannah.” He mocks.

“Then why did you bring me here?” I snap.

“Because this is your suite too. This isoursuite. The best suite of the resort with the best view for the soon-to-be-married couple.”
