Although Bianca reacted instantly and turned around, putting her clothes on in a hurry, the man standing at the door still saw everything.
“Why are you alone?” Luke’s deep voice was the first to break the silence in the room.
Her lie had been called right to her face. Bianca stood on the spot stiffly.
“What I meant was that someone would come by later, not that there’s someone with me now…”
The man watched her as she panicked, trying to cover up her fib.
Luke’s eyes looked around the room silently before he spoke up again. “The police contacted me. How do you feel right now? Is your body alright?”
Charlotte was arrested, but she did not dare to approach her father with such a problem, so she gave the cops Luke’s name instead. That was why the police had contacted him.
Bianca’s brain exploded.
The man’s bright black eyes were looking right into hers.
“My body is… fine…” Bianca was embarrassed to have her male superior find out that she had been drugged with an aphrodisiac of all things, so she could barely even bring herself to reply.
“Jason took the week off for you, so you rest easy,” Luke continued.
“Thanks, and thank Mr. Doyle for me…”
She lowered her head guiltily.
The man soon lost his patience, making a beeline straight for her.
Instinctively, Bianca took one step back, still too afraid to raise her head. All she could do was keep her eyes on Luke’s waist…
When she realized that she was looking at an inappropriate place, she awkwardly moved her gaze upward, but then she saw the man’s well-toned figure wrapped underneath his shirt.
Her breathing grew uneven as she retreated all the way to the wall, but the man closed in on her. His strides were much longer than hers and he towered over her, giving an unprecedented sense of pressure.
Luke abruptly placed his hands on the wall, keeping her trapped between his arms. Lowering his head, he looked down on her from above, his voice mesmerizing. “Are you scared of me?”
Bianca could smell his masculine scent wafting off from him. It smelled good, and mixed together with traces of nicotine, it was enough to make her mind wander.
She did not know if her face was red, but she was finding it hard to breathe. Her head pounded as she looked up and said, “Yes, I’m scared. Very much so. What you’re doing right now isn’t very appropriate…”
“You’re scared of me, yet you lured me into your room? I can’t tell when you’re lying and when you’re telling me the truth.” The man’s deep smooth voice came from above her head.
Bianca raised her head innocently. “I never…”
Luke had an answer for everything, though. “I asked you if there was anyone else in your room, and you said yes, there was. I also said that I would very much mind meeting you if there was no one else here, because a man and a woman shouldn’t be alone in a room together.”
Bianca, “...”
She could not outreason him.
Like looked down at her gentle eyes and brows. All of a sudden, he touched her tender lips with his long and slender fingers, pressing them lightly. “You lied. You told me that there was someone else in the room, so I disregarded convention and came in. Doesn’t that mean you lured me into your room?”
Bianca lowered her eyes, looking at the man’s finger pressed against her lip. Suppressing the unwarranted way her body was trembling, she said, flustered, “You misunderstood…”
This was all an accident.
Luke Crawford was not your average pleb. She really had not expected him to show up at the hospital.
Nevertheless, all of her arguments sounded weak and unconvincing under these circumstances.
