After Phoebe left and closed the door, Tom and Megan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It was really too dangerous just now. If Tom hadn't reacted fast enough, they would have been exposed!
Once Phoebe found out the truth, Tom would be dead.
Megan quickly got out of the quilt and gasped. She had been under the quilt for a while and was almost out of oxygen.
"I almost suffocated to death." Megan finally breathed smoothly and said, "It was really close just now. Phoebe almost found out."
Tom gave her stink-eye. "If you hadn't come to my room, would there have been such a risk? Well, now that Phoebe is back, you should leave as soon as possible!"
After some intimate contact with Phoebe just now, Tom's desire was aroused again. He felt terrible. He didn't dare to keep Megan here, or else he would suffer.
Megan said proudly, "No, it's still early."
Tom's face immediately turned to be serious and he said, "Megan, that's enough."
"Don't be so fierce to me. I just like you and want to be with you. Is that wrong?" Megan pretended to sob and looked at Tom pitifully. It had to say that Megan was really good at acting coquettishly. Even people like Tom couldn't be angry anymore.
"Megan, don't challenge me. I've already given you enough face." Tom said with a cold expression.
However, Megan saw through him and was not afraid of him at all. Instead, she came over and hugged him and said in a plaintive and pitiful tone, "Tom, don't do this to me. Please. I like you very much. I just want to stay by your side. I don't want to be your wife. I don't want your money. I just need you to come over to see me from time to time when you think of me and give me some of your love. Is that impossible?"
"You..." Tom was speechless.
Megan immediately added, "Believe me, I promise I won't let Phoebe know, and I won't be a threat to her! I swear!"
As she spoke, she really raised her finger and swore to god, "Dear Lord, I, Megan, only like Tom for the rest of my life. I don't ask for marriage, nor do I threaten Phoebe's legal status. I just hope that when Tom thinks of me, he will come to see me and give me a little love. If there is a lie, I am willing to die..."
"Enough!" Tom couldn't bear to listen any longer and quickly interrupted her.
Megan was really going too far.
However, Tom couldn't hate it anymore, because he could feel that Megan wasn't lying. She was sincere.
So Tom was upset and didn't know what to do.
After thinking for a while, he said seriously, "Megan, you'd better give up. I'm not the man you think I am. Phoebe didn't give up on me when I was the most depressed and incompetent. I won't betray her. You are good. You deserve a better man. Don't miss the forest because of a tree."
When Megan heard what he said, her face turned a little pale. She wanted to say something, but Tom stopped, "Well, you can go back now. I'll pretend that nothing happened tonight. I'll keep your job at the ZQ Media. Next, if you do a good job, I'll promote you. Come on. For Phoebe's sake, I'll never fire you."
Tom had done his best to say that.
After Megan heard this, she bit her lips tightly and lowered her head. Her eyes turned red and she was silent for a long time.
Tom did not say anything. He had already said what he needed to say. The rest was up to Megan to decide.
