James was about to refuse again when he felt that Maria unbuttoned his shirt with one hand. She then bit his chest gently and said flirtatiously, "James, as long as you carry me into the hotel, I will let you bite me anywhere you like."
He gritted his teeth. Knowing that Maria wouldn't stop teasing him until he gave in, he had no other choice. He carried her in his arms and entered the hotel with a livid face.
Maria smiled victoriously. She knew that men could not resist a woman's seductive charm.
And James was not an exception. Her tactics worked on him.
She got a little teary-eyed. James didn't know that she almost burst into tears while her face was buried in his arms.
The fact that he didn't refuse to help her just like the last time, she was deeply touched. She wondered if it meant that she had succeeded a little.
As soon as they entered James' room, he tossed her onto the sofa ruthlessly. He then said coldly, "Leave now."
Maria got up, tiptoed in front of him, and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I can't leave now. I'll sleep on the sofa tonight. Let's have dinner together, okay?"
"Maria Song — "
Before James could say what he wanted to say, she interrupted him impatiently, "Hush! I know what you want to say. James, I am living a good life, so I don't have a death wish yet. But right now, I'm in a little trouble, and I need your help. Promise, I'll repay you double in the future if you save my life today. What do you think?"
"Repay me? With what? With your life?" James didn't think that she had anything valuable or he could make use of.
As a matter of fact, it was she who had used him again and again.
Maria thought for a while. Then she smiled brightly and winked at him as if she had come up with a brilliant idea. "How about this? I can be your sex partner. You can sleep with me anytime you want until the day of your engagement to Alina. What do you think?"
"Lame!" James pushed her away, turned around, and walked to the desk at the corner of his suite. He didn't want to continue such a nonsense conversation with her anymore.
Maria knew that his silence meant that he acquiesced in her offer. It wasn't easy for him to admit it, was it?
She just shrugged, happily ran to his bedroom, and threw herself on the big bed. She felt so exhausted that she wanted to take a nap.
Watching her, James kneaded his aching forehead and thought, 'Jesus! After forcing me to carry her into my room, now she is occupying my bed.
Maria Song! Why haven't I seen your boldness before?'
There was total silence in the bedroom, so James thought that Maria had already fallen asleep. But what he didn't know was that she was sending a message to someone on her phone.
After sending the message, she put her phone under the pillow and closed her eyes with a smile. Today was her happiest day since she had returned to H City.
She was happier than that night when she cooked dinner for James in Fairview Villa.
A few moments later, the waiter brought a sumptuous meal to James' room. On a whim, Maria took two photos and posted them on her WeChat Moments.
James went out for some social engagements, so she enjoyed the dinner alone.
There was no one suspicious on her contact list, and she didn't even add Colby on WeChat, so she didn't mind posting the photos of the delicious food she had. She felt like she had nothing to hide.
Since the presentation of the food in a five-star hotel was quite impressive, as expected, many of her friends bombarded her with comments, asking where she was. However, she didn't reply to any of them. She just sent a private message to a few.
Alina, who had been browsing on her WeChat Moments, saw Maria's post. She got so curious that she kept on refreshing the page for the new comments of their mutual friends to load, hoping that she could get some information about Maria's whereabouts.
Her heart was beating abnormally fast. What if James had taken Maria with him to P City?
After a long time of waiting, Alina was so disappointed that Maria didn't respond to any of her friends' comments on her post.
Maria was the type of person who would burn the bridge after crossing it. So she sent the photos of her dinner to James with a message. "Actually, I don't really have a secret to tell you. I just want to be with you. If you dare to drive me away, I will send these photos to Alina and tell her that we are together right now."
