Being caught staring at Stanley, Sharon felt her face getting red. Luckily, the light was dim and he couldn't see her face clearly.
Then, she cleared her throat and asked, "Why did you guys have to sign a contract in the hotel?"
"She left the contract in the hotel and asked me to send her back so she could sign it."
Sharon pouted. "Then why did you take so long? You and that woman stayed alone in the room for nearly fifteen minutes!"
Fifteen minutes was enough for them to do a lot of things!
Gradually, Stanley furrowed his brows. "You don't trust me?"
Sharon glared at him. "Don't try to change the subject!"
Her face was flushed red, and she glared at him with widened eyes, which were kind of adorable. Stanley extended his arms towards her. "Come here."
But she just rolled her eyes. "You still owe me an explanation!" "Well, she did try to seduce me." Stanley looked at her and got frank.
Right away, Sharon grew annoyed. "If it hadn't been for me, you guys would have had a good time already, right?"
"Hey, don't make any unfounded assumptions! I opened the door myself, remember?"
When he was about to leave, she just happened to stand outside the door.
Therefore, she had to agree with him on that.
Meanwhile, seeing that her expression had eased a bit, Stanley sighed and said, "The reason I don't wanna tell you is that I don't want you to get upset."
She then tried to imagine what they could be doing inside the room and grew a little curious. "Did she take off her clothes?"
Stanley was choked speechless.
"I heard her voice was quite coquettish. Was she pretty?"
"You're starting to get curious, huh?" He shot her a glare.
Just now, she was still very upset, as if he had cheated on her.
Sharon threw herself at him and gave him a little punch. "Anyway, from now on, you're not allowed to hang out with a woman on your own!"
Nevertheless, he caught her fist and took her into his embrace, rubbing her chubby cheeks in satisfaction.
On the other side, Jimmy took Ariah out of the hotel.
It was about ten o'clock already and it was drizzling outside.
The early spring evening was quite cold compared to when it was winter. Jimmy glanced at Ariah, who was sitting in the passenger seat. She was texting someone.
Earlier, Ariah received a text message from an unknown number. It was Felipe. He told her not to worry and that he had gone out on a holiday.
Ariah knew that he was giving an excuse because he was frightened by Jimmy that day.
Upon some consideration, she replied, "Have fun. I'll treat you to dinner when you come back."
Suddenly, Jimmy's voice rang out. "Who are you texting?"
Startled, she quickly put away her phone and replied calmly, "I was texting my colleague. We're chatting about something at work."
He glanced at her, but said nothing.
Gradually, she realized that something wasn't right. "This isn't the way back to my family's home, is it?"
"Yeah, no."
"Where are you taking me?"
"To your place."
Just as she almost lost her temper, he continued, "It's quite late already and it's raining. I'm worried about the road conditions now, so we'd better just go to your place."
