Violet blushed and cleared her throat. "Um, I'm going to … poop.""Mr. Cooper." Carl's tone puzzled her. "Stop wasting time on such trivial matters.""Everyone needs to poop." Violet knew that she shouldn't make Carl angry. Unfortunately, he took offense at her simple answer.Apparently, the only answer Carl accepted was "Yes, sir," when it came to his requests.Carl stared at Violet without saying anything. His gaze was turning colder by the minute.As they stared at each other, Violet could hear water splashing. Her face reddened. To hide it, she lowered her head."Can I go poop now?" she asked in a small voice.Carl zipped up his pants. Eyebrows raised, he looked over at Violet. His stern expression was even more severe because of his tightened jaw. He stepped closer to Violet and lifted her chin, forcing her to meet his eyes. "Why are you blushing, Mr. Cooper?"Violet's breathing quickened. She tried to step back, but Carl kept a tight hold on her chin.The dim lighting i
Carl pinpointed Violet's exact location accurately. As he grabbed at her, she had to put Whitney down. Whitney immediately ran toward the room.Violet cursed silently. Before she could go after Whitney, Carl's second attack came at her again.Fucking bastard!Violet decided to teach him a lesson or two because she was still angry at what he had said to her in the toilet.Carl grabbed Violet's slender wrist. He rubbed it, feeling the soft skin beneath his fingers.Since she couldn't move her hands, Violet decided to use her legs.Before she could do that, Carl grabbed her waist and turned her around so that her back was firmly pressed against his front. His arms were wrapped around her chest."A woman?" Carl's voice was low and sultry.Violet struggled against his hold. She could feel his warm breath on her ear, tingling like electricity. She shuddered.Carl tightened his hold. "How sensitive!"This feeling …Violet frowned. This was exactly how helpless she had felt six year
"You only hire men with no past," Violet said calmly, referring to one of Carl's rules.Instantly, the room's temperature dropped.Carl looked at him with such ferocity that it froze everyone else to the spot. They did not dare to say anything to the contrary.Then, he glanced to his left and right. Reed got the hint and immediately told the rest of the bodyguards to get the assassins out of the room before leaving as well.Elle wasn't happy about this. She considered herself Carl's girlfriend, but in reality, they were just friends with benefits. He could replace her at any time. Therefore, Elle did her best to switch up her personality every now and then. It was to keep up her mysterious facade so Carl would think about her occasionally.Carl was clearly more interested in Violet than he was in her. At the very least, he had never looked at Elle for more than three seconds. Right now, all he could see was Violet.Not even Reed had piqued his interest like this, and Reed had b
Violet followed Carl into the villa. Then, Reed led her away as he said, "Let me take you to your room on the second floor. You can live there from now on. There's medicine in there.""Carl, can I go with him?" Clearly, Whitney now realized that Carl was in charge, so she needed his permission to do anything."You're having dinner with me." Carl did not give them the chance to be alone together.Behind his back, Violet gave Whitney a reassuring smile. Whitney took Carl's hand. They both headed toward the dining room.After tending to her wounds, Violet realized that she was hungry too.When she got to the dining room, she saw that there was something wrong with Whitney.Her face was red with rashes. She kept scratching as she stuffed her face with risotto.Violet could see pieces of shrimp in the risotto. Whitney was allergic to seafood."Whitney!" Violet blurted out, "What's wrong with your face?"Only then did Carl notice Whitney's condition. Her face was riddled with re
Carl looked pointedly at the medicine Violet was holding. Violet snapped back into her senses and handed it to Whitney.Thinking about how she looked in the mirror, Whitney had no other choice but to take the medicine and wash it down with a big glass of water.This was the quickest that Violet had ever seen Whitney agree to take her medicine. It only took about five minutes of convincing this time.She looked over at Carl. He was really good.After taking the medicine, Whitney sniffed pitifully. She was still upset at what had happened."You've already taken the medicine, so why are you still crying?" Violet laughed. "Once it takes effect, you'll be cute and pretty again.""But the medicine is bitter," Whitney mumbled.Violet took Whitney from Carl smoothly. She wasn't afraid of acting suspicious at all since most people wanted to hold Whitney anyway.She tapped Whitney on her nose affectionately. "Once it's in your stomach, it's not bitter anymore. Do you really think I've
Carl was shirtless on the huge bed in the bedroom. He was only wearing a pair of shorts that didn't even reach his knees. He was tan and muscular. His well-built body was perfectly proportioned without a trace of excess fat. He looked so tempting that any woman would want to pounce on him and take a bite. Whitney was dressed in a mature-looking spaghetti-strap sleeping gown. She leaned against Carl's chest with her arms spread and listened to his strong and steady heartbeat. "What's the matter?" asked Carl. His eyes were narrowed, and his gaze was filled with anger. "I thought there was an assassin." Violet came up with a random excuse. Sensing his obvious distrust, she said, "I just think that you eyeing a kid is a little unreasonable, Mr. Walker." "Vincent! Watch how you speak to Mr. Walker!" scolded Reed. Violet frowned and looked at Whitney, who was blinded by Carl's dashing looks. She was gazing at him in a lovestruck manner. "Reed, leave us," Carl ordered coldly.
Violet's thoughts were in a whirl. She had double-checked where Whitney was before switching off the lights. Could they have switched places? God damn her night blindness! "Mr. Walker," she said nervously. She was too close to Carl. If he found out that she was a woman, how would she explain her intentions for being here? Besides, she had just been in close quarters with him at the Monarch Hotel. If he recognized her, then he would think that she was the assassin's accomplice! Violet lowered her voice and said meekly, "Sorry, I didn't touch you on purpose." Her vision was completely dark, and she couldn't see his expression. She could only sense that he was in a teasing mood instead of a murderous one right then.Carl said in a louder tone, "Have you forgotten what I said in the bathroom, Mr. Cooper?" Violet shuddered. She had zero interest in having any sort of homosexual relationship with him. She was a straight woman! "You're such a joker," said Violet hastily and qui
When the sky started turning bright, Violet's eyes flew open. The first thing she did was to look at Whitney and Carl. She didn't know how she could have fallen asleep the previous night. How could she have forgotten that she was lying next to a ticking time bomb? Thank goodness Carl wasn't that perverted. She quickly washed up and stood watch in the room.Whitney woke up very early too. When she spotted Violet standing by the door in her male disguise, she grinned brightly. She was having so much fun right now! She glanced at Carl sleeping beside her. The moment she touched a finger to his cheek, he opened his eyes immediately and rolled on top of her.Violet's heart nearly jumped out of her chest. She kept her gaze trained on Carl and prepared to rescue Whitney should anything go south. Fortunately, Carl and Whitney only fooled around with each other for a short while. Whitney realized that she had gotten more beautiful and kept posing in front of the mirror. Then, she
