Sophia’s arms wrapped around his neck reflexively. The thought of Arthur had been on her mind lately and she found herself attracted to him.
She wondered when she had fallen for him. Was it that time when he risked himself to save her at the beach; or the moment he tried to rescue her but ended up rolling down the hill with her; or when he settled her father’s debt?
For her whole life, never had someone sacrificed himself for her like he did aside from her family.
As time passed, the kiss between them became more intense. She could not help but panic as everything was going out of her control. Right now, he was giving off a dangerous vibe as though he could devour her with the kiss.
Sensing that Sophia’s body was tensing under his touch, Arthur let go of her promptly. Emotions were surging in his eyes and his face showed a trace of him restraining himself. Moreover, he felt like his body was burning in a fire and the fire was slowly making its way up to his brain, eating away all his reasons.
The more he tried his moves on her, the more he was confused by the results. At the same time, even if he wanted to trigger a reaction out of her to explore her effect on him, he still did not want to scare her away by making one wrong move.
As the stalemate grew heavier between them, someone rang the bell.
Assuming it was his bodyguard outside with the clean clothes, he turned to open the door. As he expected, standing out there was one of his bodyguards, but Emily stepped into the room with a click of the high heels before the bodyguard could.
As soon as she took in the scene in the bedroom where the occupants were wearing only bathrobes, she turned to
Sophia with gritted teeth and Emily’s body shook uncontrollably as she turned green with envy.
How dare Sophia bring Arthur to mess around in a hotel room!
“Emily? Why’re you here?” Even though
Arthur directed the question to her, his eyes were shooting daggers toward the bodyguard.
The man’s stomach churned at the sight.
In no position to reject Emily’s demand, the bodyguard let her follow along without a second choice.
When Sophia’s eyes met Emily’s gaze, she noted instantly that Emily had misunderstood the situation and was now mad at her.
Even more, it was a huge misunderstanding.
“Wait outside, we’re changing.” With a deep voice, Arthur instructed Emily.
Emily was full of resentment as she eyed Sophia one last time before exiting.
At last, Sophia swapped her attire with clean clothes. They even brought me the underclothes, she thought. It must be Emily’s servant who prepared for me.
After changing, they made their way back to the villa.
