“Mmm…” Layla’s eyes went huge in panic. Her big round eyes grew red and brimmed with tears. With all her might, she tried to push Levi’s hand away but the strength between a man and a woman was vastly different. She could not even shift one finger.
The noise from the outside was dying out. Again, Levi looked down at his hand, where it was placed. He seemed reluctant to let go but he let go eventually. Layla dashed away as fast as she could when she broke free from his embrace.
Until she was at the other corner of the room, she pointed a trembling finger at Levi with anger written all over her red face. “You… you…”
“Me, what?” Levi shrugged nonchalantly as if nothing happened. “That was plainly men’s instinct. We tend to squeeze wherever that is soft. I wasn’t doing it on purpose.”
Layla was ticked off by his unapologetic remark. He gave it a squeeze just then… How dared he say that he was not doing it on purpose!
She wanted to head out and Levi said unenthusiastically to her, “If you go out now and get spotted by any of those nosy students who are still lurking around, you’ll be in trouble.”
“I don’t care.” What could those people gossip about her?
“You don’t care but I can’t allow you to get the Young Madam in trouble.” Shoving both of his hands into the pockets of his slacks, Levi stared into Layla. There was absolutely no way for him to let her go out of the door under that circumstance.
Layla stopped dead in her tracks. If there was a possibility to get Elena in trouble, not only would she stay back obediently, she would not even make a noise.
However, she was feeling uncomfortable to be in the same room as Levi. They were both single and what he did to her a moment ago haunted her mind. Levi had no concern at all. He could see the undisguised weariness in Layla. She was already blushing. He noticed accidentally that she actually looked very pretty without makeup.
“Isn’t it better like this? Why must you put all that rubbish on your face?”
Layla was considered lucky that she actually looked pretty without using any makeup. That was the case for Elena. Whenever she did not use makeup, her freckles on the face became obvious. There were so many freckles on her face… it was rather unsightly.
Levi wondered how on earth the Eldest Young Master bear with the freckles. If it was himself, he was wary of losing the ability of a man if faced with the Young Madam’s face over a long period of time.
Of course, he knew that he could not say such a thing in public. Elena was his Eldest Young Master’s woman, he should not ridicule her. Not even secretly in his mind! Remember that!
Layla was not willing to talk to Levi at all. That was the very first time she got taken advantage. Though he had saved her twice, she still flinched at the thought of the incident before. She had no idea how they would get along spending time together in the room.
He called it the natural instinct of a man! Pfft! What a lame excuse!
“The outside has quiet down, hasn’t it?” She pressed her ear against the room door to listen intently. The way she bent over at the waist behind the door, pulling the door open to a small crack looked cute. Yet, she was not aware of it.
Unwittingly, Levi arrived at her back, peeking out of the crack with her. “How is it? All gone?”
“Seems like all gone but I am not sure if there is any more hiding around the corner, waiting to take photos.”
Layla held strong opinions over those people, she was uncertain if they would hide around, waiting for an opportunity to snap some gratuitous photos and upload them onto the internet to defile them.
“Really? Then we need to look carefully to be sure.”
Levi looked down at their bodies which were so close together. Curious, Layla bent even lower and stuck her head out of the hotel room door, peering down the hallway. Feeling her soft body against himself, occasionally brushing against his as she shifted herself, Levi was extremely… tempted.
Subconsciously, Levi held her waist. Their position then could easily be mistaken in a lustful manner. Levi did not know that he had this side in him, but he was not rejecting it in any way.
“I think there are no more people.” Layla let out a sigh of relief and was about to push the door further apart.
However, she suddenly had a weird feeling. Her body seemed different like there was something pressing against it…
She glanced over her shoulder and immediately yelped. She struggled violently to get out of Levi’s embrace but she collapsed as Levi had his hands slipped around her waist. Not only that her effort to run away failed miserably, she even slipped and fell headfirst downward.
Levi’s hands on her waist became her only support to break her fall. As a result, the ill-fated Layla had her legs raised up in the air and her head facing downward in an indescribable awkward position.
“What are you both doing?” Elena stared wide-eyed at them, totally flabbergasted.
Elena was also trying to pick up the noise from the corridor to access the situation. She came right in after hearing Layla’s loud shriek. Unexpectedly, the first image that came into her eyes was Layla head down and her bum… pushed up high, sprawling… in front of Levi. And Levi held onto Layla’s waist, that position…
Oh gosh! What an eyesore!
Michael trailed behind Elena leisurely. When he saw what happened, he seemed undisturbed. Looking at the position… his eyes traveled down Elena’s back. In his mind, Michael was thinking perhaps he could try out the position…
Elena felt a sense of chill sliding down her back. She spun her head around to notice that the Eldest Young Master Williams had his eyes fixed on her like a hungry leopard eyeing his prey. She had a feeling that she was the prey that was about to be pounced on and got eaten up!
The lust of conquest in the eyes of the Eldest Young Master Williams made her shudder in horror. It was intimidating! Very scary indeed!
Layla finally got up to her feet and Levi let go of her. Levi appeared calm and unperturbed of what he did before. He walked towards Michael, his face returned to the usual solemn look, unable to spot the slightest bit of ignominy in him.
With her face burning red in shame, Layla hid behind Elena to reduce her presence. How she wished to bury herself up in a hole and never come out.
“Eldest Young Master, those people must have left. Do you want to leave now?” Levi asked.
“You… why are you all here?” Elena fixed her gaze at him. Michael was not willing to answer her so she had to look for the answer from Levi.
Levi said with a smile on his face, “The Eldest Young Master was having lunch somewhere nearby. We heard that a group of people were coming over to the hotel to hunt you down so we came immediately.”
“The Young Madam must be very touched by the boldness and courage of the Eldest Young Master.” Levi thought to himself happily.
“You… you came on purpose to help me?” Elena looked quizzically at the Eldest Young Master Williams.
Actually, she had figured it out. She knew that someone like the Eldest Young Master Williams would never stay at a second-rate hotel. She did not say it out loud because Michael did not look like he wanted to talk about it.
Then, Michael snorted coldly at her and walked past her to leave. To everyone’s surprise, he said as he walked away, “Next time if I know you go to a hotel with any guy, I’ll break his legs.”
“I…” Elena sucked her lips, gazing at his aloof back disappearing at the end of the corridor.
He obviously knew that there was nothing between her and Luacs. Yet, why did he say that? To openly declare authority?
