She was swaying as she grabbed Gray's collar and pinned him to the wall.Gray glanced around, feeling mortified by the scene. Luckily, there was no one nearby witnessing him being cornered by an intoxicated Victoria."Hey, hey, just take it easy. Why don't we head inside the room first? You can unleash all your wild antics there," Gray suggested, attempting to gently nudge her aside.But Victoria was strong, and he ended up getting pinned on the wall again.'Just how strong this woman is?' he thought with a sigh."I drank the… juice because I knew you wouldn't spike it.

She extended her hand and tapped his back as if consoling him.In an instant, Gray glared at her and said, "Why are you patting my back? Is that some sort of comforting me? If you're attempting to console me, then patting my back won't have any effect." He was teary when he continued, "YOU SAW EVERYTHING IN ME. DAMN IT!" Victoria pulled her hand away from him. She was thinking so hard about how to comfort Gray. Then, she thought of an idea."Don't worry," she said. "It's not like my first time seeing that. I used to see those in the past."Gray stopped and looked at her with widened eyes. "What?" He gasped and covered his mouth. "Are you that kind of woman?"With a frown, she said, "No. I never ha

Inside Victoria's large room, Martin was sitting on a couch while drinking coffee. He was calmly sitting there as if nothing crazy happened a moment ago.Victoria sat on the opposite side, watching him.'I still couldn't believe that he prepared many people and cars just to find me,' she thought, completely still in shock. 'Did he do that just because I am his fiancée?'"I caused quite a scene earlier," Martin started the conversation. He glanced up and locked eyes with her. "When I heard that my fiancée had been kidnapped, I immediately rallied my men. I didn't have time to verify if it was true. So, I apologize if I startled everyone."Victoria was at a loss for words. She simply couldn't find the right response.Martin continued, "So, where were you last night? Why did you go out alone and only come back this morning? I thought you were unwell."Finally, Victoria replied, "I was feeling bored. And I only lied to you because you wouldn't stop pestering me to go out.""Ahh. I get it.
