Outside the bathroom, Lucas hissed every word through gritted teeth, "This is my room!"
"What are you—"
"I just called the front desk. She gave you the wrong key card!" he snapped rather grumpily, clearly out of patience. "My room is 999, yours is 666! She had a mix up and accidentally swapped our cards, get it?"
Cordy did a double take—to think a luxury hotel like this would make such a cheap mistake!
"If you understand, get out," Lucas urged, annoyed. "Stop loitering in my room."
"Who's loitering?" Cordy snapped, her temper unleashed right there and then.
There was just no way she could stay patient with this unreasonable man!
"Then are you coming out or not?!"
"I…I'm f*cking naked!" Cordy swore; he was the first man who made her breathe an expletive!
She wasn’t paying attention before she entered the bathroom, and had thrown her clothes on the couch outside.
She didn’t bring in a clean set of clothes when she came in, either.
She only had a towel on right now; she certainly didn’t want to see Lucas like this.
She well and truly had enough of that man, and would never allow him to see her in an unseemly state!
"Open the door!" Lucas started hammering on the door again.
"I said, I'm naked—"
"I can't give you your clothes if you don't open the door!" Lucas bellowed.
Cordy bit her lip—there was just no talking things out peacefully with this man.
She tightened her towel around herself, ensuring it wouldn’t loosen easily before opening the bathroom door by a tiny slit.
