I could not remember if the elevator doors opened again after that. All I knew was just as I was about to succumb to Theo, he grabbed me by the waist and whispered to me in a low voice, "I'll let you go for now, but you’ll have to make things up to me tonight."
I could tell he was struggling to keep himself composed, but I felt no pity for him. Instead, I pouted my lips and said with displeasure, "You can't blame me this time."
"I'll blame the child. They're to blame for making you seem even more irresistible," he said as he ran a hand over my stomach. When I was not paying attention, he tried to slide his hand even lower. I got so scared that I immediately grabbed his hand.
He smiled even more gleefully. "Don't worry, I’m a man of my word. I'll take care of you when we’re home."
I got into the car with him, half-believing what he just said. I still felt somewhat fearful.
The doctor had told me that I would feel strong desires at this stage due to my changing hormones. All we had done in the elevator was kiss, but I had nearly succumbed to him just now. I was afraid I would lose control of myself when we were in the garage.
If we wanted to get specific, it would be more accurate to say Theo was the sultry one.
As we drove out of the garage, I felt myself calming down. Then, I saw Cindy as we rounded a corner. "Pull up to the sidewalk.
Let's invite Cindy to come along.
"Why?" Theo sounded somewhat reluctant and did not pull up to the sidewalk as I asked.
"I have some work matters to discuss with her. Hurry up and pull over." I was starting to get anxious.
Theo finally pulled over reluctantly when he saw I was about to lose my temper.
"Cindy, let's have lunch together."
Cindy had a suspicious expression on her face when she saw how enthusiastic I was. The look in her eyes showed that she suspected there was something wrong with my mind again.
