Rose Loyle stared bitterly at him. "Weren't you the one who told me to dress more sexily?”
"I did, but what I meant was just slightly sexier. What you're wearing right now is too much. Your V-neck is low, and you're showing too much of your back. I'll be i n the office extinguishing flames. I’m burning up all over right now." Sean quickened his strides as he speed-walked to his office.
"Extinguish flames?" Rose could not help but chuckle." How do you plan to extinguish the flames?"
Not slowing down, Sean dispiritedly fired back at Rose. "With my hand, of course. It's not like I can ask you to help me extinguish the flames now, can I? Someone will make sure I have nightmares every night should I even look at you with the slightest malicious intent."
"Who?"
Barging into his office in a huff, Sean slammed the doors with a bang behind him, leaving Rose outside. A t the door, Rose spoke, "Be quick, then. What's up with you? You can't even hold yourself together at all!"
Half an hour later, Sean opened his doors.
Lifting her wrist to check the time, Rose smiled. "That was fast."
Sean's expression darkened. "How much erotica have you read? You expect every man on the planet to be the kind who lasts long?"
Rose smiled mirthfully. "Don't worry, Mr. Bell. Your secret’s safe with me."
Sean slapped his palm on his forehead. He was normal, yet why did he feel the humiliating burn as if he was inadequate in the nether regions?
Turning back to see Rose doubling over in laughter, Sean spoke embarrassedly, "Oh, I get it. You’re comparing me with him, aren't you? Tell me the truth, how long does he take?"
Rose flushed immediately while grumbling under her breath, "Just who are you referring to?"
Sean’s interest was piqued as he sat uninhibitedly in front of Rose. "Jay Ares! Don’t tell me you've never done it with him when you gave birth to his children. Tell me, how long does it take for him?"
Rose's hands came up to cover her face, eyes peeking out from the gaps between her fingers. "Longer than you."
"He must've taken drugs then," Sean said indignantly.
