The room itself was indeed spacious, but when Hunter was inching closer to her by the second, Emily suddenly felt that her room was shrinking in size.
She tried to escape this confined space by circling around him and exited through the door.
But somehow, she would always end up getting caught by Hunter no matter where she tried to escape to although his pace was pretty leisurely and slow.
In the end, she was being held motionless against the study table.
“I am very angry today.” Hunter’s tone was devoid of anger as he declared this.
“Woman, shouldn’t you accept some form of punishment for your previous actions?”
“Aren’t you holding the view that I’ve done nothing wrong?” They just had this conversation a moment ago. Was his memory somehow failing him?
“Do you think you’ve done nothing wrong at all in the afternoon?”
“I’ve done nothing…”
“In my personal opinion, you’re utterly wrong about something.” And he had promised her to talk to her about this behind closed doors at night. He was delivering his promise at the moment.
“But, that was when we were still out there. We were… talking about some formal matters.”
Emily squeezed her eyebrows hard as she came to a realization after catching a hint of disdain underneath his very eyes. For this guy, his words were absolute!
As long as he saw fit, it didn’t matter whether something was really just formal or personal matter. Nobody could refute his position once he had settle on one!
This man was too domineering!
“Then, what do you want to do now?” Emily immediately regretted herself for asking such a question. She was digging her own grave by asking this question.
As expected, a flash of smile appeared at Hunter’s lips. It was a rare smile even for someone like him.
“I’m not going to do anything, I just think you need to be punished slightly.”
“What kind… of punishment are you talking about?” Her voice was slightly hoarse now. She felt her throat rapidly drying up as she asked this.
His smile was really… captivating. If she was not being careful, her entire existence would be sucked into that charming vortex.
Emily was frozen on the spot until Hunter suddenly picked her up and marched towards the bathroom. Only then did her senses return. She subconsciously grabbed his half-undone shirt and stammered, “Young Master Hunter, what are you doing now?”
“Didn’t I say that we should enjoy ourselves as much as we can since life is short?” Hunter lowered his head and there was a flash of brilliance hidden within his eyes. His gaze had the power to enchant others, yet it was somehow intimidating.
“Since I haven’t tried some things yet, I think I should give it a try.” He kicked open the door to the bathroom and marched into the bathroom with wide strides.
“No… no way! Wait a minute, Young Master Hunter!”
He put her down, and at the moment she wanted to flee, she felt a force pulling her into his embrace.
He was pinning her in between the sink and his body as he started to remove her flimsy T-shirt.
“No… you can’t do this, Young Master Hunter. Don’t do this to me, I’m- I’m not ready for this, I…”
“Alright, I’ll give you ten seconds to get ready.”
He was grinning at the moment at her flustered look. He was really amused by her.
“Now, I’ll remove your clothes which are in the way.”
“Didn’t you say that I have ten seconds to prepare?” She thought that she would have ten seconds of solitude in the bathroom to mull things over.
Perhaps, she would have a slim chance to escape his grasp that way.
“That’s right, I’ll get into the bath with you after ten seconds.” It was only natural for him to remove her clothes during this extremely short interval.
“That’s not what I mean…” Emily was on the brink of tears when she discovered that his understanding of these ten seconds was very different compared to her understanding!
“Wait a minute, wait- wait a minute…”
Suddenly, Liam’s voice came from outside the room as he knocked on the door, “Young Master Hunter, something bad has happened.”
Hunter was planning to ignore him. Was Liam getting more and more useless nowadays? Couldn’t he handle things himself even if something bad had happened?
