In the past, Howard had always seen Elaine as a maid, but from then on, he started to have some peculiar feelings as he looked at her.
He started to size her up whenever he looked at her.
When he got home from work, he would sit in the living room watching TV and watching her being busy in the kitchen.
He even started to judge her body quietly.
As he leaned against the sofa listening to the voices coming from the TV, he would look at Elaine and thought, "She is not tall, but her body figure is awesome. Petite but curvy."
She had a narrow waist, nice.
And her perky buttocks, nice.
And those pair of short but slender legs, nice.
After sizing her up for a while, he found that she was like a rough diamond.
As long as the surface was polished and cut, it would turn out to be a precious gem.
Indeed, Howard was an experienced womanizer, and he managed to evaluate Elaine's physical figure within a night.
Ever since then, Howard started to get closer to her. He would reduce her house chores, take her out to dinner occasionally, and he even brought her to Simon's one-month celebration party.
He had one glass too many at the party, but it wasn't until he was unconscious.
He got close to her under the influence of the alcohol, which was also a way to tell her that he was interested in her.
He thought that any woman could tell how he felt, but this silly girl not only did not feel it, but she also treated him as a rogue and started to avoid him.
Since that day, she had even started to lock her door.
Did she think that he would sneak into her room in the middle of the night to assault her?
Yes, he admitted that he was indeed a playboy, but he would never stoop so low!
Every woman he dated was doing it willingly. He had never forced any woman!
Elaine and Sharon sat on chairs, talking to each other. Sharon asked her about her family's situation, and she answered her truthfully.
As she spoke, she felt that something was off.
Someone was staring at her.
The woman's intuition could be accurate at times. When she looked back, she saw someone was looking at her, and it was Howard.
However, there was no expression on his face. On the contrary, his face was a little gloomy as well as his glare.
His glare stunned her, and she started to think about what had happened last night. He had pressed her against the couch and had kissed her...
This was the first time she had ever seen him like this. He was imposing an intimidating and depressing aura around his body...
Now that she thought about it, she could still feel his scalding temperature when he pressed down on her...
"What are you thinking about, Elaine Jacob?!"
She patted her blushing face and tried to drive those cranky thoughts away.
"What are you doing?" Sharon was a little confused when she saw Elaine suddenly slap herself. "Is there a mosquito?"
Elaine mumbled, avoiding her gaze, "N-Nothing..."
"Oh my, why is your face so red?" Sharon has noticed her ruddy face.
It made Elaine even more embarrassed that she lowered her head and was on pins and needles. "I-I'm sleepy. I'll go back to my room now."
It was really late, so Sharon nodded and said, "Alright. Let me take you to your room."
"No thanks. Go ahead and play with the children. I know where my room is. Don't worry."
"Okay then. Good night."
"Good night."
She quickly nodded and ran away.
Chuckling, Sharon went to Ariah, and as she got closer, she realized that Howard looked rather gloomy. It made her wonder what Ariah had said to him.
