"Yes." He sounded naughty. "Teachers should know how to improvise and adapt. I have full confidence in you, Miss Hart."
"Who told you that a teacher should know how to improvise and adapt? Do you think I am a wild survivor?" She retorted irritably.
"You really know a lot." He started the car and left.
'How could this man be so dictatorial? He never listens to others at all.’ She thought to herself with a frown.
But then, she could not deny that he looked charming when he raised the corner of his mouth as he was leaving. Summer got off work and walked out of the school in the afternoon. A middle-aged man in a suit walked up and stopped her. 1
She frowned, wondering what this man was up to. When she was about to ask, the man spoke, "I am Billy Day, Mr. Valentine's secretary. He asked me to bring you to the apartment."
No wonder. She could not refuse but to get into the car. She first returned home to pack her belongings.
Only then she went to the apartment with Billy.
It was an expensive apartment, large, but no one else was there. She was standing in the living room with
her suitcase. Billy had left. 1
She stood there, hesitating and falling into a daze. She was nervous because she was not used to living with a man.
But she also knew that there was no escape. So she gritted her teeth and walked into the bedroom with the suitcase.
Club Nightshade.
The place was thumping with loud music, and men and women were moving their bodies to the crazy beat.
Inside a private cubicle.
Billy and Charlie stared unblinking at the man on the couch.
