On the top floor, in the presidential suite.
The decoration of the room was simple yet majestic. The elegant Persian carpet was soft and white. The pattern was ingeniously combined with a modern feel.
Brad sat on the single-seater sofa in the living room. His suit jacket was hung on the side of the armrest. His eyes were quiet as he looked at Susan. He didn’t say a word, but it made people feel oppressed.
Susan sat opposite to him. Her posture was elegant. As he locked her in his gaze, she subconsciously sat upright and placed both hands on her knees.
She looked like she was ready to receive punishment any time.
“Why didn’t you wait for me?”
Indeed, when the man opened his mouth, it was a cold question he asked. Even if he had deliberately suppressed his anger, his face was still sullen.
Susan’s eyes flashed guiltily. She bit her lips and said, “I just wanted to see who was playing tricks. Furthermore, didn’t I call you…”
Towards the end, Susan stopped speaking as she saw the man’s gaze getting darker.
Why did she feel guiltier the more she spoke?
Nothing had obviously happened!
When she sensed that something was wrong, she went to the washroom to call Brad.
Upon knowing that he didn’t provide any instructions to anyone, she knew that this was a setup.
It was just that the other party didn’t seem to be clever. Were they sure that she wouldn’t call Brad to confirm this?
After thinking about this, this matter was still strange!
Susan was slightly distracted by the man’s suffocating gaze. When she looked up, she unexpectedly found that the man had already gotten up and started to walk slowly towards her.
Brad was tall and he had long legs. His dark blue shirt revealed his broad shoulders and slender waist at a glance.
Her clear eyes followed the man’s moving figure. When he stood in front of her, she looked up with a look of innocence.
Brad leaned forward. His actions were elegant, which showed that he was a cultivated person.
He placed both hands by her side. His eyes gleamed and his handsome facial features gradually approached. He looked at her and Susan couldn’t help but hold her breath.
The distance between them was close. She moved slightly, trying to avoid his burning gaze.
“Have you thought of what would have happened if I hadn’t arrived in time?”
The man’s clear voice was like the evening breeze. There was a coolness in the warmth.
His assumption made Susan’s thoughts pause. She looked at him in surprise. After a few seconds, she subconsciously muttered, “I didn’t think…”
Deep down in her heart, she had never made such an assumption!
It was an instinctive belief that he would arrive in time!
Susan was shocked by this thought.
When did her trust in Brad reach such a high level?!
The man looked at the woman’s confused look from atop. His thin lips unexpectedly let out a helpless sigh.
He wasn’t angry at her. It was just that when he saw her in a dangerous situation, he got angry and worried. He was troubled over how she had acted recklessly.
However, at this moment, looking at her clear eyes which spelled her full trust in him, aside from feeling helpless, more of it was love.
The type of ‘love’ where he wanted to love her ruthlessly!
The man restrained the restlessness in his heart. He raised his hand and touched her soft hair. His fingertips slid down gently to raise her sharp jaw. “No more next time, understand?”
Susan nodded. Her heart was beating wildly.
This man’s action of touching her hair was full of gentleness and love. It stirred her soul.
Their gazes met and their breaths lingered. They read the deep affection in each other’s eyes. The man gently rubbed her skin with his thumb. He pursed his lips tightly and slowly leaned over.
At this moment, time was moving slowly and the atmosphere was ambiguous.
However, someone just had to spoil the mood!
Just when their lips were getting closer, the doorbell rang and Luke pushed the door open and entered. “Brad, Sam has already spilled the beans!”
After his words fell, Luke realized in shock that there were two seemingly invisible sharp blades pierced on his body…
