Her body and her mind were froze.
Freya had never expected that he would awake at this moment.
How should she explain her actions? Should she say she thought he looked good and couldn’t resist? What should she do?
In that moment when her head was held, her mind came up with many explanations.
However, Elijah didn’t open his eyes, even as his softness extended, delving into her mouth. He kissed forcefully, as if he wanted to swallow her whole. Her breathing almost stopped.
Was he awake or not?
“Freya, I miss you…” he murmured indistinctly.
Freya heard it clearly though and she froze. A single teardrop, without warning, fell from her eyes, dropping onto his face. Elijah didn’t wake up, it seemed like he was dreaming. Freya slowly got up, realizing that he had just spoken in his sleep.
“But I’m also happy to hear you say you miss me.” She wiped off the lipstick from his lips, covered him with the blanket, and walked out of the bedroom, gently closing the door. As she opened the door, she saw Evan.
Evan really took responsibility for Elijah, standing guard at the door like this. Seeing Freya, he quickly approached and asked, “Is he asleep?”
Freya nodded. Evan noticed the smudged lipstick on her mouth, forming a ring. He furrowed his brow, wondering if Jane had done something inappropriate to Elijah. He was about to open the door immediately. But Freya stopped him.
“Mr Silverton just fell asleep, please don’t disturb him.”
Evan blinked, “You didn’t do anything to him, did you?”
Only then did Freya realize the state of her mouth, and she forced herself to remain calm, “I just sweated, I should go.” After saying that, she walked towards the elevator. Standing in the elevator, she saw her reflection, with lipstick smeared all over her mouth. She wiped off the lipstick and put on her mask.
Evan stood at the door, confused about whether he should go in and check.
Forget it.
If Elijah had really been violated, he would have come out already. He was a grown man, capable of taking care of himself. There was no need for him to worry. Now that Elijah was asleep but Evan was a bit restless. Therefore, he decided to have a drink to calm his nerves before going back to sleep.
Later, Evan found a bar and walked in. At this time, the nightlife was just beginning, lively and bustling. Attractive men and beautiful women were rubbing shoulders. Lights and drinks filled the scene.
“Sir, this drink is from the lady over there.”
The bartender handed him a glass of ‘Blue Eyes’. Evan sat at the bar and followed the bartender’s gaze, landing on a hot and spicy beauty in a tank top and shorts. He raised an eyebrow and accepted the gesture.
Even picked up the drink and downed it. The beauty approached and struck up a conversation, “Exotic handsome guy.”
Evan ordered two more drinks, pushing one in front of her, “This one’s on me.”
The beauty smiled, “Want to have some fun together?”
Evan gulped down the drink and replied, “Not interested.” After saying that, he paid the bill in cash and left.
The beauty pouted, “Quite the gentleman.”
Sacha Lowe walked out from the shadows, “I didn’t expect him to not take the bait.” She patted the beauty and looked at the bartender, “Thank you both.” After speaking, she chased after Evan.
Evan shook his head, feeling a bit dizzy. His alcohol tolerance was top-notch, these two drinks shouldn’t make him feel lightheaded.
What was going on?
“Feeling a bit dizzy, aren’t you?”
A clear voice came from behind him. Evan turned around and saw Sacha Lowe standing behind him. His expression changed, “You’re following me?”
Sacha walked over with a charming smile, confessing, “Yes, I am following you.” She grinned, “Not only did I follow you, I also put a little bit of a drug in your drink.” As she spoke, she gestured with her hand, indicating a tiny amount.
“What do you want to… do?” Evan scolded, but his vision was getting darker and darker.
Sacha approached, leaning against his ear, her breath warm and intoxicating, and triumphantly uttered two words, “Extract information.”
Her hot breath, so directly against his skin, sent a shiver down his spine.
“Stay… away from me.” He said, and then collapsed.
Sacha rolled her eyes, “I wanted to stay far away from you too, but you passed out.” She beckoned her own driver and said, “Put him in the car.”
…
Evan woke up in a daze, surrounded by unfamiliar surroundings.
Where was this?
His consciousness gradually returned, and then he saw his clothes lying on the bed. He instinctively looked down at himself–
