Chapter 346
Connor spotted the two security guards from a distance. They were standing in front of a girl on a motorcycle, talking to her. His expression darkened. He thought for sure they were trying to flirt with Lydia. She was hard to miss, after all, with that pretty face and confident vibe. Wherever she went, people noticed her.
“What are you doing?” Connor’s voice was icy, sending a chill through the air. For origınal chapters go to ÍŸ.net
The guards, Brendan and Seth, both former military and now working for Jefferson Group, immediately straightened up. They took their jobs seriously and didn’t want trouble.
“Sir, we just wanted to ask who she was waiting for. There’s a rule, you know, no parking here,” Brendan stammered.
Neither of them could quite believe Lydia was actually waiting for Connor. In their minds, Connor was the kind of man who’d never be caught dead with a girl by his side. Sure, Lydia was stunning, but their boss was… well, he was their boss.
Connor looked at them, his gaze sharp. “From now on, even if she wants to bring her bike inside the building, you open the door for her. Got it?”
Brendan and Seth stared, wide-eyed.
Lydia handed Connor a helmet. “Let’s go.”
He took it, giving the guards a final warning look. Then, in an instant, the cold and fierce CEO everyone knew was gone. Instead, Connor’s tone softened, his eyes gentle as he looked at Lydia. “Alright.”
The two guards just stood there, stunned, watching their no-nonsense, emotionless boss climb onto the back of Lydia’s motorcycle and wrap his arms gently around her waist.
Were they dreaming? Was this really their untouchable, intimidating CEO?
It just didn’t seem possible.
The engine roared to life, and in a flash, Lydia and Connor disappeared down the street. Only when the sound faded did the guards finally snap out of it.
“Brendan, did you see that? Was that really the boss?” Seth asked, still in shock.
“I think so,” Brendan replied. “And I think… he might be in love.”
Who would’ve thought their boss would fall for someone like her? A biker girl with attitude.
Connor hadn’t been on a motorcycle in ages, but as soon as the engine rumbled beneath him, he felt the rush The wind pressed against his face. The world blurred by and the thrill of the speed made him feel like he could break through any barrier. For a moment, he felt eighteen again.
Only Lydia could make him feel this way.
She rode with confidence and control, her movements perfectly in sync with the bike. Every twist, every turn, every stop was smooth and sure Connor couldn’t help but
admire her skill. No wonder Chris was always following her
About fifteen minutes later, they reached Wind Canyon. The sunset was painting the sky with deep, vibrant colors, filling the canyon with a dreamy glow Surrounded by all that natural beauty, it was impossible not to feel at peace. Connor couldn’t remember the last time he felt so relaxed. The light scent of Lydia’s hair drifted back to him, making him feel even calmer.
Out of nowhere, Connor spotted several motorcycles up ahead, about two hundred meters away. Chris was waving like crazy, his voice echoing across the canyon, loud enough to drown out the engines.
Connor noticed Chris had brought a whole crew of young, good-looking guys with him. Under his helmet, Connor’s expression darkened again.
Chris, of course, had no idea.
“Lydia! You look awesome!”
There were seven guys in total, counting Chris. Since Cooper had a broken arm and couldn’t ride, Garnet gave him a lift, so there were six bikes.
Lydia slowed down and pulled up in front of them, taking off her helmet in one smooth, confident move.
