Chapter 271 A Troubling Drive

Finished

Josh’s fingers lightly tapped the steering wheel, setting lively rhythm. The atmosphere inside the car was. subtly tense, with Mia clutching the bouquet of roses in her lap, using them to shield her embarrassed

heart

Just when she thought this agonizing ride would soon ad, Josh unexpectedly extended his right hand, seemingly casually placing his arm on the central armrest between the seats.

In reality, his large hand stealthily slid to Mia’s slender waist, his fingers mischievously kneading her most

sensitive spot.

“Hmm…

Mia let out a soft moan, her body instantly stiffening.

She turned her head sharply, only to see Josh looking straight ahead, his expression dead serious as if nothing had happened; yet, his hand continued its mischief in the dark, clearly enjoying the thrill of this covert stimulation.

Mia’s face turned beet red. She wanted to curse him out, but feared Lauren and her mother might hear.

Her breathing became rapid, her heart pounding wildly in her chest, but she dared not move too much. She bit her lower lip, silently enduring the waves of tingling sensation at her waist, trying her best not to make a sound.

However, that soft moan had still been heard by Marilyn.

“Mia, what’s wrong?” Marilyn’s concerned voice came through, making Mia’s heart nearly leap out of her

throat.

“It’s nothing: just got pricked by the roses. Mia’s frantic explanation came out.

She tilted the bouquet towards Josh, perfectly shielding his wandering hand from the three people sitting behind them. She was terrified of being caught in such a compromising position; it would be utterly humiliating.

A sly look flashed across Josh’s eyes.

For Mia, time seemed to crawl exceptionally slow on this trip; it felt like an eternity.

By the time the car finally arrived at the restaurant, Mia was sweating profusely.

As soon as the car stopped, she couldn’t wait to get out first.

“Mia, slow down.” Marilyn saw her daughter rushing and spoke with concern.

Mia dashed into the restaurant like she was fleeing, not forgetting to reassure her mother, I’m going to the

restroom.

Mia burst into the restroom, quickly turned on the tap, and splashed the cold water on fier burning face.

The flush on her face gradually faded; she looked up at the mirror to see her face speckled with water droplets and her eyes filled with panic, silently cursing her lack of composure.

She had never been this embarrassed before, this was a first.

Lee, you better not mess with me, or else…

Finished

It took quite a while for Mia to calm down and leave the restroom, only to run straight into Josh’s arms.

“Whoa! Are you throwing yourself at me now?” Josh leaned down, whispering into her car, his warm breath cascading down her neck, causing her to shiver.

The last thing Mia wanted was to confront him; she tried to push Josh away, but found his arms tightly wrapped around her waist, making it impossible to esclipe,

“You’re relentless, aren’t you!” Mia hissed through clenched teeth.

Without a word, Josh pulled her into the women’s restroom stall.
