The vehicle continued its forward trajectory.
Gradually, Marcus roused from his slumber, his body emanating heat, the sensation of gentle hands caressing his form.
Abruptly, his eyes flared open.
Kaya, in the process of undressing him, paled as their gazes met.
âMr.
Thomas.
â
Marcusâ eyes narrowed slightly.
The figure before him held a hint of familiarity.
A university student from Preagend University, he recalled.
Kaya unfastened her blouseâs buttons, her skin exposed as her lustrous hair cascaded over her shoulder, an allure both beguiling and magnetic.
Marcusâ brow furrowed.
How did she find her way into his car?
His gaze lowered, settling on his partially unbuttoned coat.
An irate scowl overtook him as he chastised her tersely.
âExit my vehicle.
â
âMr.
Thomas, I genuinely admire you.
Allow me to accompany you.
â
Though Kaya quivered beneath his ire, determination colored her plea.
Stay by his side?
A disdainful sneer touched Marcusâ features as he leveled a cold gaze upon Kaya.

Kaya, believing he perceived her as tarnished, hastened to clarify, âMr Thomas, itâs my first time.
I never had a boyfriend during college.

Moist eyes brimming with sincerity, she knelt on the leather seat, her visage laden with aggrieved entreaty.
In the face of such circumstances, a different man might have acquiesced.
Marcus grappled with ceaseless agony.
Kayaâs pitiable stance failed to beguile him, igniting his wrath rather than sympathy.
Suddenly, the phone in Marcusâ possession erupted with a ring.
A glance at the caller ID jolted him back to sobriety.
The call was from Millie.
Casting a sidelong look at Kaya, he tersely instructed, âExit the vehicle.
â
Subsequently, he answered the call.
âHave you returned?â
Millieâs inquiry resounded.
Engaged in design work, she secluded herself within her room throughout the day.
It wasnât until hunger compelled her to glance outdoors that she realized dusk had descended.
