She looked at Sean slowly, her eyes void of cold, hatred, or love. All he saw there was a deep bottomless despair!

Sean savored the despair in her eyes happily. This woman… was probably going to reject his absurd demand, right? Between drinking vodka and publicly making out with a man she did not know like a jester, any woman would easily choose the former, no?

Besides, she used to be Miss Dunn. Proud Miss Dunn.

“Are there any other options?” After all, this was her first kiss. It meant nothing to him, but it was very important to her.

She did not want to lose her first kiss just like that.

She had nothing else left.

The man raised his wine glass and drained it. “You have no right to haggle with me.” His lips curved pleasantly. He wanted to see just how demeaning and lowly Miss Dunn of S City could make herself!

“I see. Understood.” Jane stood up stiffly. Her legs were not in very good shape, and a sharp pain shot up her femur after all that kneeling. It nearly sent her crashing back onto the floor. She raised her hand and hammered her thigh heavily a few times, loosening up her nerves before she limped over to that bodyguard in black.

Since she hammered her leg like that, the men in the room assumed her leg was only numb because she had been kneeling for so long. Only Susie knew that the limping woman was suffering an unspeakable pain right now.

Susie was starting to regret her actions. She had gotten Jane involved in her mess.

“Jane…” Susie could not help but speak, but cocky Ray Sierra gave her a warning look. She hurriedly shut her mouth, her gaze filled with remorse. All she could do was look at that pitiable woman as she limped across the room.

Jane’s expression was blank as she walked up to the bodyguard. She quietly took a deep breath and released a long breath. After a long pause, she forced herself to stay calm while she lifted her arms and grabbed the bodyguard in black’s shoulders.

She looked very composed, but the person closest to her, the bodyguard whose shoulders she was holding, could clearly feel that Miss Dunn was trembling.

He knew Miss Jane Dunn too, but even now, the bodyguard still could not believe that this lowly and humiliated woman was the same heiress of the Dunns, the girl with so much pride and lively energy.

Jane stood on the tips of her toes, her shaking white lips approaching the bodyguard’s…

It was just her first kiss, she would not feel any pain losing it. If she drank all that vodka, her chances of survival were almost zero.

She wanted to live, so what did her first kiss matter?

Sean’s expression was complicated. She had chosen the latter, after all.

The man on the couch narrowed his eyes, but he had barely opened his thin lips when he suddenly heard a voice from the door. “Oh, it’s you? Why are you still here?”

The moment that voice spoke, everyone in the room looked toward it. Before they knew it, a tall man was standing at the door to the room.

Jane gave a jolt and turned her head toward the door. “It’s you…”

Ray looked at the tall man at the door before turning back to Jane. His sexy eyes narrowed as he grinned, saying, “Yo, Haydn. You know here?” That was weird. Why did the Haydn Soros know a mere cleaning lady?

Ray rubbed his chin. This was going to be fun.

Meanwhile, Sean looked at Haydn too, a shadow deep in his eyes.

Haydn did not really mind that everyone was staring at him. He just looked at Jane oddly… What was this woman doing? Why did it look like she was going to forcefully kiss Sean Stewart’s personal bodyguard?

He blinked casually and curved his lips into a smile. “That’s strange. I stepped away for a second, but now it looks like things are heating up here.” Haydn put one hand into his pocket and sauntered over to Jane, asking, “What are you doing?”

    A second later, there were two knocks on the driver’s window. Jane heard a business-like voice outside the window, saying, “Kindly open the cab door.”The voice was very cold and official, without any hint of emotion. Although he used the word ‘please’, it was an order and not a request… Sean’s subordinates were just like him in that sense.Jane screamed at the cabbie, “Don’t open the door!” She said, “I’ll pay you…”Suddenly…Smash!There was a loud sound, and then the passenger’s side window shattered into pieces.That sudden escalation scared Jane out of her wits, but it also spooked the cabbie in the driver’s seat.“I-I-I’m calling the cops!

Outside the car window, a bodyguard with a crew cut and a black suit asked stiffly, “Can you open the car door now?”“Yes, yes, of course~! Right away!” The driver’s eyes sparkled at
