Trapped In Tasty Lips novel Chapter 3

Wendy stared at the floor-length mirror. Gone were the casual clothes she had been wearing during the day. Instead, it was replaced with the hotel's red uniform. The well-designed fabric wrapped around her good figure, and her black hair was pulled back into a pun, displaying her delicate features.

She couldn't even recognize her own face anymore.

In fact, she almost forgot how she had gotten here in the first place.

"Miss Wendy, Mr. Leo is here. It's your cue." A lovely girl rushed towards her.

Wendy couldn't even make out her face. Maybe it was because of her nervousness that she couldn't find it in herself to process what was happening.

She quickly placed the medicine Leah had given her and tapped it into the whiskey. Taking a deep breath, she plastered a smile on her face and walked to his room.

She knocked on the door.

"Come in."

A deep and magnetic voice echoed from the other side of the door.

Trying to control her heartbeat, she pushed the door open.

Wendy could make out a slender man curled up on the spacious bed. His back was facing her. If she didn't know any better, she would think that the man had fallen asleep.

He must be Leo Jiang.

At the thought, her heart skipped a beat.

"This is the whiskey you asked for, Sir." Following the instructions given to her, Wendy poured the whiskey in a glass carefully, but the man still didn't move. "Just put it there. You may leave," he said.

His chilly voice made her heart race.

After pouring in the wine, Wendy tried to control her trembling hand while keeping a good eye on the man on the bed.

Once everything was set, she sighed in relief.

"Mr. Leo, I've already poured you the whiskey. If there's nothing else, I'll leave." Wendy bowed her head respectfully, but Leo Jiang didn't even bother to turn around. Instead, he waved her away.

The company had a lot of things to deal with. What made things worse was that he was suffering from a headache.

He had been busy the entire day, so he was exhausted. All he wanted to do was lounge on his bed and not think about anything else in the world.

Clang! A harsh sound echoed throughout the room.

Finally, he turned over and frowned. "What happened?"

Wendy motioned to the broken vase. Her eyes were wide in panic. "I'm sorry, Mr. Leo. I really didn't mean to do it."

She had been so nervous that she knocked it over.

"Are you new here?" Leo Jiang knew exactly how many employees were working in his hotel, and he could also recognize them by face. He had never seen this woman before.

Wendy stood up and smiled shyly. "You're really observant, Mr. Leo. Yes, I'm new here. I really am sorry for the vase. It was truly just an accident."

Although Leo Jiang was annoyed, it still didn't mar his handsome face.

When he stared at Wendy, he hesitated before returning back to his stoic resolve, which made her wonder if what she had just seen had all been an illusion.

"Clean the room first before you head out." Normally, if it was any other woman who knocked it over, he would order them to leave and have them fix it up tomorrow. He had no idea why he asked her to stay.

What the hell was wrong with him?

Knowing that her trick worked, Wendy sighed with relief. Her heart raced in her chest, but she pretended to be calm. She quickly plastered a smile over her face. "Okay."

Wendy grabbed a cloth attached to her belt and wiped the shiny table on the room. As she did so, she subtly stared at him. It was said that he was the young master of the Jiang Family. Not only was he incredibly influential in the business sector, but he also had a promising future ahead of him.

Plus, it didn't hurt that he was handsome and had a very muscled figure.

Wendy couldn't help but feel something indescribable rushing through her system. She stiffened.

When she was just a teen, it would be a lie to say that she didn't have her own foolish fantasies of meeting her Prince Charming. Upon staring at him, she couldn't help but relieve those little dreams she once had.

But she quickly shook her head and reminded herself why she was here in the first place. Now, she could only succeed. Failure wasn't an option.

"How old are you?" Leo took a sip from his whiskey and stared at her casually.
