Arabella just lowered her head. She couldn’t face him for she knew her asking for money was too off. She was not the kind of person but with her situation, she had left with no choice. Judging from Bill’s action, she knew Bill had misinterpreted her. Who cares? She needed the money to find the person who was behind in her father’s attempted killing. Too bad, her character would be very bad in Bill’s eyes.

“So, tell me, you didn’t leave me last night because you wanted that money?” The playful smile he was wearing earlier instantly vanished in the air. Admittedly, he expected too much of this girl in front of him. She saved his life last night and he thought that was all because of her genuine kindness. Guess he was wrong. That was his first time to appreciate a woman not by her beauty but with her inner side but it seemed his first time was not a good experience.

    “Shhh… Don’t move. It’s better to sleep this way.” Bill said while hugging her back. He himself would never understand why he was always wanting her warm. Just by hugging her delicate body, he felt relaxed and complete from an exhausted day.“Hmmm… Mr. Sky, you think this is appropriate?” Like an innocent girl, she asked.“Why not? You’re my wife.” Bill lazily answered her.“But… We have a contract.” Though she let him hugged her, her thoughts couldn’t just rest.“So, what?” He asked.“Do we really need to sleep in one room?

I’m just a little bit cold maybe because of the cold air coming from the AC.” It was just her alibi. She clearly remembered that caller’s demand to act well and avoid suspicion. How could she let her lousy acting be a hindrance to her goal?“Okay then, everything is ready.” The manager said delightedly.“Please ask some of your staff to help me load the money in my truck.” She intentionally used the word ‘my’ to avoid suspicion.“Sure.
