The alcohol bottles on the table were emptied, there was evident proof of lovemaking on those wet markings on the sofa, and not to mention she was only covered in the coat that Mr. K was wearing earlier.

“You know, I’ve always wondered… what kind of history do you have with Mr. K? He’s not someone who takes notice of people easily,” she asked.Merely tilting my head and feigning mild amusement, I asked with a raised brow, “Shouldn’t you be asking him that question instead?”How would I know what’s g
