The elevator doors opened with a ding, and Sean carried Jane horizontally as he raced out of the elevator. He ran straight into his room and placed her on the large bed, immediately reaching out to take off her wet clothes. He undid her buttons one at a time. Did this woman always wear so much clothing, even on such a hot day?By the time his index finger landed on the third long-sleeved innerwear, he was utterly perplexed. Who would wear a long-sleeved cotton undergarment meant for the autum
It was the same day, less than half an hour apart, and she— Jane Dunn! How dare she mistake him for someone else, not once, but twice!When Jane was awakened by the pain of suffocation, she saw that the person she wanted to see the least was strangling her by the throat like a man possessed!The force around her neck grew tighter and tighter. Her eyes widened abruptly, and she realized that he— Sean Stewart was actually trying to strangle her to death!It was getting harder and harder for her
She rejected him, but he only used more force on her.Smack!There was the sound of a loud slap, and all of a sudden, the world went quiet. Sean looked at the woman pinned under him in disbelief. Her hand was shaking violently as she looked at him in utter terror. Sean stared hard at the woman lying amidst the sheets. She had not slapped him too hard, and it did not really hurt. Nevertheless, this was the first time in Master Stewart's privileged life that the leader of S City's esteemed S
Elior was stunned!Although he had seen her kneel to Sean without a shred of dignity, the feeling was even stronger when this woman was addressing him directly!Her lowliness and low self-esteem practically oozed out of her every word."You lost a kidney, and all you can say is 'it's all in the past'?" Elior remembered that cocky and confident face from back then. Back then, Jane Dunn had many suitors from esteemed families, but this woman as she was now… He had thought that the three years h
"Are you playing hard to get, then? To protect your virtue as a woman?" Sean semi-raised a brow, looking down on Jane who was beneath him. Jane chuckled softly, her eyes filled with self-deprecation. Virtue? Her? What virtue?"You misunderstand, Mr. Stewart. I'm just an ex-convict with no past and certainly no future. I don't have any family or friends… Virtue? Who gives a damn about my virtue?""In that case, stay here tonight."Jane raised her head slowly and looked into Sean's eyes with f
There was a movement behind him."Stand right there. Where are you going?" Sean looked at the timid woman through narrowed eyes, already on the brink of losing it."To work," Jane said slowly.All of a sudden!The anger in the man's heart flared even more, and his cold jade-like face was unreadable. Out of nowhere, he asked, "Work? With your body as beat-up as it is right now?" All this stupid woman could ever think about was money. She had barely escaped with her life just now, and the firs
Uno frowned slightly and then said with a straight face, "I should ask you that. Why do you know Miss Dunn is running a temperature?""She got caught in the rain after leaving work one night a while ago. She said she started feeling unwell once she got back to her dorm, growing dizzy and even taking a fall. That's why she has a huge scar on her forehead now. I'm not blind, so I noticed.""If you know that Miss Dunn isn't feeling well, why didn't you give her the day off?""Well, that's one th
Alora was like a lit firecracker, powerwalking to the PR department. She moved like speed, cutting through the air everywhere she went and leaving confused people in her wake. "What's up with Alora?""Dunno.""She seems to be headed for the PR department.""Did that cleaner do something again?""Stop talking about her like that. She's working as hard as she can, so how is she in any way hurting you guys?" Anna barked, her voice cold and cross. "We're attendants, so we should just stick to ou
