Stanley didn't answer, but pulled her forward with a sullen face.
When they arrived at the elevator, the elevator door opened.
Looking at the other people in the elevator, Stanley narrowed his eyes, "Get out!"
The people in the elevator judged that he was not easy to provoke from the momentum he showed, so they didn't dare to have any opinions and came out of the elevator one after another.
Soon, the elevator was empty. Stanley pulled Violet in, threw her against the elevator wall, and then closed the elevator door.
After the elevator door was closed, Stanley turned around and blocked Violet in the corner, "I told you a long time ago that George is not a good guy. I told you to stay away from him. You wouldn't listen to me!"
Violet lowered her eyelids. She did not speak but just pushed him, trying to come out of the corner.
However, Stanley grabbed her hand so that she could no longer push him. With the other hand, like George did earlier, he pinched her chin and wiped her lips vigorously with his thumb.
Violet's lips had been bitten by George, and it was a little hurt. Being rubbed by Stanley like this, Violet frowned in pain.
"What are you doing?" She bit his finger.
Stanley paused and looked down at her lips, "Dirty!"
Violet let go of his fingers. Her face turned pale.
Dirty?
Was he saying she was dirty?
Stanley caught the sudden change in Violet's eyes. He knew that his words made her misunderstand. After pursing his thin lips, he raised her chin and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
Violet was stunned.
Stanley took this opportunity to get his tongue into her mouth.
Violet finally calmed down. She stared at the man's perfect sideburns with her eyes widened and her face flushed, forgetting to struggle.
It wasn't until the elevator was opened that Stanley let go of her. She made a dumb voice, "You..."
"Clean up for you!" Stanley wiped the corner of her mouth with his thumb.
Clean up?
Violet was taken aback for a moment, and then came to realize that he helped her clean the trace left by George.
So he meant George dirty, not her!
He cared about this so much, which meant that he was jealous?
A touch of sweetness surged in her heart. Violet touched her lips, suppressing the excitement and asked, "Why kiss me?"
Stanley's eyes flashed, but he still didn't answer. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked out of the elevator.
Violet bit her lower lip. She caught up with him, "Mr. Murphy, you shouldn't be the kind of person who will kiss others casually? I heard Fraser said that you’re a neat freak, but you don't hesitate to kiss me. Do you like me?"
On the plane the day before yesterday, she had doubts like this, but were quickly denied by herself.
But his behavior towards George just now, and the act of kissing her, made her doubt again.
Stanley stopped. He didn't turn his head back. He just lowered his eyes and said quietly, "No."
The light in Violet's eyes dimmed for an instant, and the expression on her face was slightly frozen.
If not, why should he kiss her?
He teased her?
Violet clenched her fists tightly. She wanted to cry, and her heart was aching.
But she didn't show it. After taking a deep breath, she barely smiled, "I see! I'm sorry, Mr. Murphy, I misunderstood. I thought..."
