Marina got the answers she wanted from them and headed back inside. After closing the door, she walked into the bedroom.
Daron was lying on the bed, shirtless, and when he saw her come in, he shot her a pitiful look. “Why didn’t you tell me someone was coming in?” Daron muttered, sounding aggrieved.
This time, some of the staff sent by the Finley Group to talk business were women.
When Daron walked out earlier, they instantly locked their eyes on him, making him feel like he was being sized up. The whole thing left him feeling seriously uncomfortable.
“The Finley Group’s employees are just as gutsy as Elnora herself, Daron thought.
Hearing this, Marina walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed. Suddenly feeling playful, she reached out and hooked Daron’s chin with her finger.
“Who gave you permission to parade around in just a towel? Were you trying to seduce someone?” Marina teased, her eyes sparkling.
Daron grabbed her wrist and, with a gentle tug, pulled her straight into his arms. “Who do you think I was trying to seduce Daron murmured, his voice dripping with mischief.
“Obviously you!” he continued. With that, Daron leaned in and kissed Marina.
They’d been at odds for a while now, and by the time Daron got home, Marina was already fast asleep. Honestly, it had been ages since they’d shared any real intimacy as a couple.
With the mood just right, the chemistry between them was undeniable. Marina barely managed to whisper, “Turn off the lights.”
Daron, ever the gentleman, freed up one hand and used the smart device to switch off the lights. Just as things were about to really kick off, Marina murmured again, “I haven’t showered yet.”
Daron just stared at her, lost for words. “I’ll shower with you in a bit,” he said, his voice low and teasing. Then he kissed her. worried she’d say something else to kill the vibe.
Marina pressed her hand against his chest. “But I’ve been stuck on a plane all day. If I don’t shower, I just feel uncomfortable, and honestly, it ruins the whole vibe.”
When Daron heard her say it would ruin the vibe, his face turned stormy. Without another word, he scooped Marina up from the bed and carried her straight into the bathroom.
I’ll help you shower,” he said through gritted teeth.
Marina just gave him a look, speechless.
After all that action, Marina and Daron finally tumbled back into bed together. Marina had just laid down when Daron was already hovering over her.
Marina couldn’t help but whine in protest. “Weren’t you the one who said just once in the bathroom?” she complained.
Daron shot back, “I wasn’t even finished yet. Who was the one whining about her back hurting, huh?”
Marina was speechless. ‘Whatever, I give up,‘ she thought.

Daron had paused everything earlier, wiped her down, and only then carried her back to the bedroom. She thought Daron was done too, just like her. Turns out, he still wasn’t satisfied.
Afterward, Marina lay sprawled on the bed, completely spent and too tired to even lift a finger. She checked the clock; it wa still over an hour before she met with the international clients.
Daron gently took her phone from her hand and said in his usual calm voice, “Just lie back and rest for a bit. I’ll wake you u when it’s time.”
Marina nodded, still a little out of it, and mumbled a sleepy “Okay.” Daron set her phone aside, then pulled her close so she could use his arm as a pillow.
Marina had work on her mind the whole time, so she never really got any deep sleep. Within half an hour, she was already awake, up, and getting herself together.
Daron watched as Marina stood in front of the mirror, getting ready. He walked over and slipped his arms around her wais from behind. “You’re already beautiful,” he whispered.
Marina’s lips curled into a smile as she glanced up, catching Daron’s gaze in the reflection. “I’ll be back as soon as I wrap up the contract. Are you going to wait for me at the hotel, or do you want to come along and check out the city with me?” she asked.
Daron asked, “So how are you getting there?”
Marina replied, “I’ll just grab a cab.”
Daron raised an eyebrow. “Don’t you think you need a driver?”
Marina glanced at Daron, and the next second, he leaned in and said something softly. “I’ll take you,” Daron offered.
Marina raised an eyebrow. “Wait, do you even have a local driver’s license?”
Daron just gave her an amused smile. “I’ve got a driver for that,” he said.
That was when Marina finally realized what he meant. With Daron’s connections, getting a car and a driver here was a piece of cake.
Once Marina was all set, she headed out. Outside, the Finley Group staff were already waiting at the door.
As soon as Marina opened the door, the lead staff member stepped up and said, “We were just about to knock and call for you.”
As he spoke, he noticed Daron standing beside Marina, and his demeanor instantly became more respectful. “Hello, Mr. Zamora,” he greeted.
“Hello, Mr. Zamora,” the others echoed. As soon as he spoke, the rest of the staff immediately greeted Daron as well. Daron gave a slight nod, acknowledging them. “Let’s go,” Daron murmured, lowering his gaze to Marina by his side.
He kept his usual cool, but Marina could still pick up on his discomfort. Probably because everyone here had seen him earlier in nothing but a towel.
Marina nodded and told the lead staff member, “Mr. Zamora has arranged a car to take us over.”
The lead staff member nodded and quickly expressed his thanks to Daron. Daron kept close to Marina, saying little the
whole time.
