[ Chapter 29 ]
Located in the eastern district of central Imperial, Sky Madison, famously known as "Dwelling Palace in The Sky," the magnificent supermodel-like structure of 50-story condo tower was the tallest residential building in Huaxia, giving its ultra wealthy tenants the most stellar private views in the Imperial.
Standing tall at 1,200 feet and as one of the world's most luxurious penthouses building, Sky Madison was glamorously designed in a cantilevered glass of finest architecture tower, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that offer privileged views of wonderful panorama, as it faced the splendid view of Imperial Megapolis in the north and the beautiful green forest of highland territory far in the east.
Housed only to elites among the richest, with uninterrupted views of the vast greenery forest and the Megapolis city below, coupled with numerous of lavish facilities, highest quality of services and easy access to financial district of Royal Metropolis. The super luxurious units inside the ultra-posh tower of Sky Madison were limitedly owned by top elites and the richest, averaging asking price of the first three digits billion dollars per unit.
Down to its night Imperial street, a titanium complete black of customade edition Ducati Desmosedici superbike could be seen galloping through the bustling street, speeding below the Sky Madison and then headed down through the wide underground entrance.
Thundering smooth heading towards its designated parking space across the white and wide passage, where its roaring gallant sound of 1200cc engine permeated throughout the parking hall, the superbike halted at its parking spot and the engine shut off with the headlights.
Once the superbike was parked, with both of strong and veiny hands on the black helmet, the tall and striking man donned in grey suit over black shirt removed his helmet, exposing a devastating look of perfect male specimen with dark eyes and blackest appealing hair. A silver hoop earring glinted from the corner of his left ear.
The man was surrounded by an extreme allure and mysterious attractiveness. The vision of him next to completely black superbike and with those mesmerising black features of his highlighted his sexiness and masculinity.
With a slight natural curve at the edge of those succulent lips, pitch black hair that's tousled over his gorgeous features and captivating eyes that bearing irresistible mystery any woman wishes to unravel, Julian ambled his way with his impressive walking posture and entered the private elevator.
A blanket of nothingness took over his surroundings as the elevator door slid close. A breathy sigh was heard from his pale pink lips as he ran his fingers along the silkiness of his dark hair. The edge of his lips stretched up, a faint of sinful smile slid across his adonis countenance as his mind lingering to the memory.
Julian got his right hand up to his neck, pulling down the knot he loosened his tie. As the elevator ascended each floor, up to the highest floor, the thought of any other things faded, only to be replaced with sweet nothingness.
Standing there looking at his own reflection on the metallic door, all he could see was the innate desire in his own very eyes, the glimmer of his own flame. The exhilaration that prickled his own skin and the brewing heat inside him.
Hours worth of conversation and visuals ran through his mind as he took a deep breath. Recollecting the thought of her. The way she looked at him, her apparent desire. The way she brushed her glamorous blond hair and those occasional biting of her rose-coloured bottom lip.
The fluttering of her long eyelashes, the diamond ring on her finger, the necklace around her sexy sculpted collarbone. The way she spoke, with that slur and crisp syllable that he found arousing. Her eyes, intoxicating and immersive, arousing his blood to flow south.
Swallowing down as his manly Adam apple bobbing up, standing with all the gloriousness of his statuesque frame, with nothing to hear other than his own breathing, Julian lost himself to the memory.
His eyes lingered at her statuesque back, impressed at the indefinable space around her. His eyes darkened, as her tall violin shaped figure zooming out his vision. Gorgeously elegant and sophisticated was all he saw in her, yet the flame deep within him responded improperly at the vision of her extreme fascination.
It's supposed to be another business meeting to which he would have perfectly handled as usual, yet there he's allowing himself to be affected by her allure. It took more than a self-possession to get a hold of himself during the entire meeting, focus on what the matter at hands and he was succeeded though not without a bit of distraction.
It surprised him, knowing the effect she had on him was intense enough to distract him, whilst in the truest sense of the word he's a person who held the professional ethic in highest regards. In fact, he had never allowed his personal things meddling with his business yet there he was, unable to completely resist the distraction.
That's the moment when he noticed that his attraction over her was way deeper than a physical attraction. It's absolutely not a profound feeling or something, don't be ridiculous. He lusted after her gorgeous beauty yes, but what exactly attracted him was way more intense than what's on the visual.
Cassandra wasn't anything like the plenty share of women he had been with. Physically speaking she's gorgeously attractive yes, but what aroused his desire was way more than that. Those elegance, nobility, arrogance, intelligence, mature, charisma, regal presence, vision and everything about her, he found them are intensely alluring.
Such a noblest lady, such a finest specimen of women, such a sexiest blonde. He desired after all of her and she has aroused a dim of obsession deep within him, something that he had never allowed himself to have, yet he couldn't resist the temptation.
He locked his ardent gaze at her, taking in the visual of those perfect curves of her hourglass figure. Her attire hugged fit her slim yet curvaceous form. His eyes caressing down, watching her hips sway in tight skirt, athletic with a delectable overlay of softness.
However, he immediately stopped himself from further trailing down his gaze over her tantalising bottom in regard of his respect for her. He's a womanizer yes but having this weak self-restraint wasn't among his traits. He's born and raised as gentleman, he might be devious within but disrespecting women was something he despised most.
Being a womanizer he was, he's capable to take any woman he desired and most of time women would sway themselves to get in his arms, crawl in his bed. He took pleasure in seducing them but being a creep who secretly checking them out like this was absolutely not something his pride allowed at doing.
His jaw clenched as his breath catch, trying to ignore the tightening in his loins. A dull ache. It's ridiculous of him for getting uncontrollably aroused like this. Exhaling deep, he took a complete composure and control of himself.
"Mrs. Qin." He heard his low-pitched voice calling out her name as he reached close to her, wearing a mask of his signature gentleman visage. "Please wait a moment."
She stopped and paused for a moment before turning around with a refined grace that he found it's exquisite. Her appealingly structured countenance faced him with her pretty eyes stared up back at him, a set of well-maintained brows were raised slightly as she gently pursed her lips.
He stopped towering her gorgeous frame. She's an irresistible angel before him, a heavenly being blessing him with the gift of her extraordinary temptation. As noble as she was proud, he watched as her eyes glowing, alive, red and deep, like a sunset, but there's no missing the little air of cold glinting inside, almost screaming for him to warm them.
Her beauty was otherworldly, exquisite jaw that could only be found in finest of sexy female specimen was all very womanly. Her picturesque eyebrows two dark slashes above thick-lashed, deep-set eyes. Her lips were sensual, slightly titled at the corner. The kind of lips he defined as edible, arousing.
"Yes, Mr. Long?" Was all her response, she gave him a faint smile as her left dainty hand holding her white purse around her tight stomach in a very ladylike posture.
He paused for a moment, exhaling the rich intoxicating fragrance of her feminine scent, jasmine perfumed body. "Could I have you for a moment please? I hope I'm not disturbing you Mrs. Qin." He asked very gentlemanly, deep and charming was his voice.
"It's alright Mr. Long, you're not." She gently pressed her lips together. Shaking her head lightly, she asked, "What do you have in mind?"
He smiled in response, pulling up a kind of smile that would have completely captivated any woman in sight. "It's about our next meeting on Friday." He began, straight to the point.
"Coincidentally, on Thursday night, I was invited as part of Huaxia business delegate on a certain business exchange. This event would be taken place at Eventim Venue, which I assume Mrs. Qin has heard about it." He referred to the upcoming grandeur opera event.
"It's shame of me to say but it would be extremely helpful for me to have someone of the caliber Mrs. Qin, to accompany me attending this event. As I'm not completely familiar with some case of Huaxia businesses and politics environment." He explained, being completely honest with all of his words.
Cassandra gave no expression but he could see the glimpse of her narrowing eyes as he continued.
"I would like to ask if perhaps you wouldn't mind me asking about rescheduling our meeting. I wanted to ask if perhaps Mrs. Qin could accompany me in this event, whilst we could also have our own meeting afterwards?" He asked low, straight looking at her in the eye with a finest of charming smile plastering his handsome face.
"I know I'm asking too much of favor, it's fine if Mrs. Qin couldn't. We will have the meeting as scheduled." He added.
A haze of silence descended upon them for a brief moment as they kept holding the eye contact. At his invitation, her perfectly-structured brows lifted unexpectedly, but there's no mistaking the sudden flash in her soul-stirring eyes.
"Mr. Long, this—" She breathed low, her eyes searching him, she seemed to pondering for a moment before drawling out. "Mr. Long, I couldn't answer it right away. As you've known it yourself how stacked my schedule is at the moment, it would take a bit of effort to reschedule the meeting." She explained tactfully, neither accepting nor rejecting.
"But I would have my assistant looking for it and perhaps." She put a tight, business kind of smile, "I'll let you know by the end of tomorrow."
"Thank you Mrs. Qin." His lips curved up as a look of mirth fleeting passed his gorgeous features.
The cloud of sweet nothingness vanished as he reached the highest floor and the door slid open. Julian breathed soft and stepped out, making his way through the wide and opulent designed hallway.
There were only three doors in this entire highest floor where the most deluxe units of penthouses located. Each housing number was carved in gold onto the door, screaming class and luxury.
Julian walked to his penthouse, which could be seen as the most lavish unit by the way its front was designed. Inserting one of his fingers into the biometric lock, it beamed and the door unlocked.
Entering inside, through the opulent of mixed eastern and western styled corridor, what greeted him was a vision of woman who sat in the black sofa, waiting him.
