Jensen placed his head beside Alice's ear and comforted her tirelessly in a gentle voice. He gently whispered to her without stopping.
No one knew how long Jensen continued in this posture, repeatedly expressing comforting words to Alice. Finally, Alice, who had been trembling and entrapped in extreme fear while sweating profusely, calmed down gradually.
She leaned heavily into his embrace and fell asleep. Her hair was wet with sweat.
Her face was very pale.
Her lips were also the same. They didn't seem to have blood in them.
Her eyes were tightly shut and she frowned in her sleep. It was obvious that she was extremely tired. Even after she had fallen asleep, she was still engulfed with endless fear. That caused her to be restless in her sleep.
Jensen put her down on the bed gently and placed a pillow under her head. He could see how weak she looked, lying down with her head on the pillow.
Then, he sat on the edge of the bed, feeling exhausted.
When he saw Alice sweating all over and couldn't sleep well, he stood up again and found her a change of clothes. He took his own large T-shirt and changed her into it.
While doing that, he didn't dare to glance at her.
He was afraid that when he saw her beautiful body, he would lose his self-control.
When he finally finished changing her clothes, she lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Jensen quickly picked up her clothes and dropped them into the washing machine to wash.
Then, he also quickly entered the bathroom and turned on the cold water tap to calm his body down.
Pouring cold water on his boiling blood cooled his sexual arousal instantly.
Jensen took a deep breath.
His face was full of regrets and he sighed.
Alice was seriously traumatised.
He quickly put on his clothes after taking a cold shower. Then, he went to check on Alice. When he saw her sleeping soundly, he was relieved and got out of the room. He looked at his watch and realized that it was already four o'clock in the morning.
Jensen couldn't fall asleep, so he picked up his phone and dialed a number.
The recipient of his phone call soon answered and spoke while yawning, "Boss, why are you still awake? Is there something urgent? Why are you calling me at this hour?"
"What is Tiffany doing?" Jensen asked.
The subordinate answered, "Tiffany? She must have gone home to sleep since she didn't have to work overtime."
"When she arrives at work today, tell her to call me," Jensen ordered.
"Understood," his subordinate replied.
After hanging up the phone, Jensen went back to the bedroom. He had a guest room here but the bed was not ready. That was because he had been living alone all these years.
Therefore, he returned to the bedroom.
He lifted the quilt and lay down beside Alice.
After a while, Alice turned over and wrapped herself around him. She hugged half of his body while placing her leg on him, like a koala bear hugging a large tree.
She had fully regarded him as a huge pillow.
Jensen sighed inwardly.
He had finally managed to suppress his desire for her by taking a cold shower, but he probably had to get up again.
The girl in his arms was so soft and attractive.
He smiled bitterly and thought, "This must be my punishment. I owe this girl, who has inferiority complex but is outwardly strong."
After turning off the lights and closing his eyes, he hugged the young lady in his arms and fell asleep.
At half-past eight in the morning.
When the phone rang, Alice was still asleep. While she was in a daze, she heard someone answering the phone call.
"Hello, Tiffany?" The male voice was very soft as if he was purposely keeping the volume low. He got out of bed and said, "Hold on please."
Then, he walked out.
The door was closed gently.
