Chapter 677 Be My Secretary

After saying that, Paxon was about to take out his phone to make a call, but Victoria lunged at him and pinned him down on the bed.

Neither of them was wearing clothes. This sudden embrace brought back some scenes from last night in Victoria's mind.

Her face turned red at a visible speed.

Paxon took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her waist and whispered in her ear, "Wasn't last night enough for you?"

Victoria angrily punched his chest, "Whatever happened between us last night, you can't tell anyone, especially not your parents or mine."

Paxon raised an eyebrow at her, "My parents taught me from a young age that a man should take responsibility. If my dad finds out I slept with you without marrying you, that would be unforgivable."

"If you don't say anything and I don't say anything, no one will know."

"I forgot to tell you—Ingrid called you last night, and I answered. I already told her you were staying at my place."

"So what if I'm at your place? It's not like I've never stayed over before. I'll just tell Ingrid nothing happened between us. Anyway, I don't want our parents to know about this."

Paxon chuckled, "It's not impossible for me to keep quiet, but you have to agree to one condition."

"What condition? Just say it. If I can do it, I'll definitely agree."

Victoria knew that once their parents found out about this, she would only have one choice—marriage.

She had just graduated from college and didn't want to be tied down by marriage so early.

Plus, with Paxon being so possessive, would she have any good days after getting married?

Paxon's hand around Victoria slowly climbed up from her waist.

His low, husky voice sounded in Victoria's ear, "I want you to..."

Before he could finish, Victoria covered his mouth, "Paxon, shut up. I won't agree to that."

Seeing her puffed-up expression, Paxon smiled and pinched her cheek, "I just wanted you to be my secretary. What were you thinking? Could it be..."

Victoria angrily bit down hard on his shoulder, then threatened, "Paxon, if you dare talk nonsense to others, I'll bite you to death."

Paxon looked down at the bite mark on his shoulder and smirked, "Baby, biting here won't kill anyone. You'd have to bite there like you did last night."

Hearing this, some inappropriate images flashed through Victoria's mind.

She furiously pounded on Paxon, cursing as she hit him, "Paxon, you jerk! Will you die if you don't bring up last night?"

Seeing her eyes turn red with anger, tears about to fall, Paxon smiled and pulled her into his arms.

He lowered his head and kissed her eyes, softly soothing her, "As long as you behave and be my secretary, I absolutely won't tell anyone."

Victoria glared at him, "Then you can't control me like you used to, or I'll quit."

"Okay, it's a deal."

Paxon smiled and pinched her cheek, "Should we continue with something else, or get up and go to work?"

Victoria understood exactly what he meant.

She immediately sat up, wrapped herself in a towel, and went to wash up.

Watching her graceful figure, Paxon's lips curved slightly.

Just then, his phone rang.

He immediately answered, "Mom, what's up?"

"I heard from Ingrid that you came back last night, and Victoria stayed at your place. You didn't do anything to her, did you?"

"Which aspect are you referring to?"

"Don't play dumb. If something really happened between you two, I'll go talk to your Godfather and have Victoria marry you. This marriage was going to happen sooner or later anyway."

Paxon teased with a smile, "If I said nothing happened, would you be disappointed? How about I bring her home today, you slip us something, and after the deed is done, you can go propose to Godfather. How's that?"

Joyce scolded angrily, "You brat! I've watched Victoria grow up since she was little—she's like a daughter to me. How could I drug her? I'm just worried you won't be able to get a wife, so I'm checking in."

"Don't worry, my wife can only be Victoria, no one else. As for marriage, don't worry about it. I have my ways."

Joyce said, "Don't say I didn't warn you—you were abroad for three years, and Victoria didn't visit you once. She's had plenty of admirers these past few years. Don't overdo it with your playing-hard-to-get tricks, or your wife might get stolen by someone else. Don't come crying to me then."

Paxon let out a soft laugh, "Don't worry, that day will never come."

As soon as he hung up, Victoria's phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, Paxon's lips curved.

He walked into the bathroom with the phone and waved it at Victoria, "It's your dad. Want me to answer for you?"

"No!"

Victoria snatched the phone and answered while brushing her teeth.

"Dad, I drank too much last night, so I stayed with Ingrid. I forgot to call you."

Alexander chuckled, "Perfect timing. I heard that brat came back. Your mom and I are on our way to the Winters Manor right now. We'll be there in ten minutes."

Hearing this, Victoria immediately looked at Paxon in panic.

"My parents are already heading to the Winters Manor. What do we do?"

Seeing her anxious expression, Paxon remained completely calm.

Instead, he slowly leaned down, his warm lips deliberately brushing against Victoria's ear.

His voice was low and husky, "Beg me, and I'll help you figure out a way so they won't find out."

"Paxon, don't push your luck."

Paxon straightened up casually, "I want to help you, but you're not happy about it. Fine then. Wait to get caught."

With that, he turned to leave.

Victoria grabbed him, her bright eyes misty, "Paxon, it takes at least twenty minutes to get to your place from here. If my dad finds out I didn't sleep at the Winters Manor, he'll definitely be suspicious. At a time like this, you're still bullying me."

Seeing her eyes turn red with anxiety, Paxon gently rubbed her cheek with his fingertip.

His voice carried a coaxing tone, "Be good, Victoria. Call me 'honey,' and I'll take you back. I guarantee they won't find out."

Victoria really wanted to bite this jerk to death.

He was deliberately stalling, hoping their parents would find out so they could get married quickly.

She wouldn't let him have his way.

Victoria bit her lip and let out a tiny sound from her throat, "Honey."

Hearing this term of endearment again, Paxon's lips curved with satisfaction. His large hand rested on Victoria's head, gently ruffling her hair.

"Baby, get dressed. I'll take you back."
