Swaying her long hair that was still dripping, she walked to Vincent enchantingly and said in a coquettish tone, âVincent, how bad you are! You only come to me when you want me to be the spokeswoman. If not, youâll never show up.â
She was quite confident that no man could escape from her gentle trap except for Vincent. Until now, she hadnât gained the heart of this most honorable man in F City.
Meredith sat next to Vincent, with one of her hands on his shoulder, leaning against him. Meanwhile, she kept rubbing her against his body. âWhatâs bothering you?â
Vincent frowned, suddenly stood up. Because of that, Meredith fell onto the sofa. She gaped at him in confusion.
âDidnât you say that you donât feel well? It seems youâve recovered. Iâm quite tired after the business trip. Please excuse me. Iâll go home now.â
âVincent...â
âI donât like women who take the initiative,â said Vincent coldly. When he opened the door and walked out, Leilaâs ever-frightened little face flashed through his mind.
He curled up his lips into a somewhat evil smile, creepy and handsome.
In the room, Meredith looked at Vincentâs receding figure in anger. This was the first time that a man could dump her so ruthlessly. Although this man was quite outstanding, she felt hurt. How many men had fallen for her...
She wondered if it was true because that he had got married. No matter what, she wouldnât give in so easily.
Pulling out her phone, Meredith said to the person on the other end of the line, âDear, have you shot the photos of Mr. White and me at the airport tonight?â
Laughter came over from the other end. âYes, darling, absolutely wonderful. Itâll be the deadline tomorrow.â
âThatâs great! By the way, have you contacted Macey Hunter?â
âNot yet.â
âPlease hurry up.â
One oâclock at the midnight, Leila was still cleaning up the apartment. Since Mabel didnât have the key to the new lock, she couldnât come in. Hence, nobody came to clean up this apartment. When Leila arrived today, she found everything so dusty.
The stars were shining in the sky. Silence blanketed the night.
She lifted the dust cover on the bathtub. First, she used the detergent to clean the not-dirty bathtub. Then she filled it with hot water to sterilize the bathtub and towels. Finally, she started clean it.
Since she had been cleaning for a long time, she sweated a lot. Her night skirt with the cartoon patterns was soaked in her sweat, exposing her curved figure.
The noise of the running water had covered the sound made when the lock was twisted. Vincent called the guard in the villa and heard that Leila didnât go back there, so he came to Pearl Community. Unexpectedly, she was here for real.
From downstairs, he found the light was on upstairs.
As soon as he opened the door, he heard the sound of the running water from the bathroom.
Leila was still brushing the bathtub. She planned to take a shower after finishing it. She felt quite uncomfortable because of sweating.
When she walked to the door, ready to go to the bedroom and get the pajamas she used to wear before, the door of the bathroom was pushed open.
She looked up and a big palm grabbed her.
âAh-- Help--â Leila suddenly exclaimed, and then Leila let out a kick.
Vincent dodged sharply. Before she could react, she was dragged out of the bathroom. Then he pressed on her and said in a low voice, âItâs me!â
Her heart almost stopped. Meanwhile, she breathed a sigh of relief. It was Vincent. She thought a burglar had broken into the apartment. âMr. White, is it you?â
âYou look so nervous!â Vincent was quite happy about her frightened reaction as well as her kick at the first moment.
âYouâve come back!â she said in a soft tone.
âOuch-- It hurts!â Leila tried to dodge when he lowered his head and bit her earlobe.
The expression when she cried out in pain made him frowned. He was unhappy about her refusal. âTry me if you dare to move again. Iâll bite it off!â
Her earlobe was in his mouth again. Fortunately, he didnât bit it this time. Leila dared not to move or reject again. She could only obediently say, âIâm sweaty all over my body...â
Vincent was quite happy for her obedience. His hot lips moved around her ear, making her feet tickled. Leilaâs breath gradually sped up. He smelt quite good -- clean and fresh together with a strong masculine scent.
Holding the back of her head, he kissed her deeply. Leila didnât have the guts to resist, so she was passionately kissed by him for a while.
âYouâre all wet, arenât you?â He picked up a wisp of wet hair on her forehead.
âI was cleaning,â she explained in a low voice.
âWhy didnât you go to bed? What were you cleaning?â He frowned. Then he looked down at her, and then cast a glance at the bathroom.
Leila didnât know if he asked her out of kindness. Immediately, she answered, âIt got dirty, so I decided to clean it. Can you take a rest first? Iâll go out after taking a shower.â
She felt uncomfortable with the sweat all over her body.
He looked somehow impatient.
âIâll go out right away. Just in ten minutes.â Leila immediately fetched her pajamas from the bedroom and rushed back to the bathroom.
Vincent also followed her in and walked to her. âAre you on diet?â
âWhat? Of course not.â Leila couldnât understand why he asked so.
âYou... lost some weightâ Vincent lifted her chin with one of his hands. Her sharp chin made him feel sorry for her. Seemingly a few days ago, her face was rounder than it was now.
âNonsense! I didnât.â Leila put on a silly smile, looking awkward.
Vincent pulled a long face. âYou didnât use the card.â
âWhat?â
âThe bank card Iâve given you. You didnât spend a penny.â
âI donât need to use it now.â Leila smiled. âMr. White, could you please go out now? Iâll take a shower.â
âSo will I,â he said.
âAh?â Leila was taken aback.
âI didnât take a shower yet,â he said.
After getting off the plane, he went to the hotel. He didnât have time to take a shower yet.
Leila bit her lower lip, feeling so nervous. âWell, you can take it first. Iâll wait until youâve finished.â
âWhy? You donât have the guts to bathe with me, do you?â Vincent put on a faint smile and looked at her, his eyes full of flames.
Leila suddenly felt that Vincent looked like a cheetah that had been starved a lot of times, and she was his prey.
Leila stood straight, trying to calm herself down.
âLetâs take a bath together.â It had been a whole week. Vincent glinted at her. He still wore a suit jacket. As he suggested, he unbuttoned it and gave it to her.
âThe bathroom is way too small.â Her soft tone had not convincing power at all.
âPut my clothes outside.â Vincent stripped himself and pressed his clothes into her arms. Leila held them outside the bathroom with a blushed face.
Then, she indeed didnât have the guts to reenter the bathroom.
âWhere are you?â The voice inside was already out of patience.
âI, Iâll take a shower later.â
âAre you deliberately pissing me off?â Vincent couldnât wait anymore. He walked out of the bathroom and dragged Leila. âIâve said weâll bathe together. What are you waiting for?â
âI--â Leila was about to say something, but was interrupted by him.
âYou have balls to retort me, donât you?â As he spoke, he pulled her into his arms. Lowering his head, he attached to her lips. Then he bent down and carried Leila into the bathtub.
The water in the bathtub was almost full. With the movements of the two of them from time to time, the water overflowed from time to time.
Her night skirt was soaked in sweat. Now she was completed wet, and so was her hair. The temperature of the water warmed her up.
Suddenly, Leila blushed and her eyes became watery. She widened her eyes while staring at Vincent shyly and softly. Her lips were slightly apart, which became pink because of his kiss. Panting, seemingly she was muttering something.
Vincent didnât hear it clearly. Lowering his head, he heard her call him, âMr. White...â
Her voice was gentle and soft, full of infinite charm and unlimited temptation.
The damned little woman!
Vincent inhaled deeply.
âDamn you!â He gritted his teeth, annoyed because his reaction was too fierce and he was always attracted by her. Dragged her over, he trapped her between his chest and the bathtub. They were face-to-face and Leila nestled on his chest. She could feel how hot his body was.
âWhat did you do when I was away?â suddenly, he turned off the tap and asked in a trace of anger. âDid you date some other men?â
Upon hearing his question, Leila was taken aback.
âTell me! Did you date some other men?â As a matter of fact, Vincent just wanted to frighten Leila and see if she had done something forbidden.
However, Leila suddenly felt heartbreaking. Raising her eyebrows, she looked into Vincentâs eyes. She wanted to ask him if he was busy with the gathering of the family of three. However, she couldnât speak it out no matter how hard she tried.
She looked at him wronged, and his question was reechoed in her ears.
How dared she?
Besides, she was not in that mood either.
Unconsciously, a tear fell from her eyes and dropped into the bathtub, causing a ripple and disappearing instantly.
All of a sudden, Leila burst into tears, covering her face with her hands.
Vincent was startled.
She covered her face and didnât want to show him her crying face, just emotionally and fiercely crying in silence.
âYou... What are you crying for?â Vincent pulled her into his arms rudely, desperately kissing her cheeks.
A Moment in Destiny âYes, I dated with other men. I was seeing a man every day. Didnât you also date another woman? What right do you have to question me? Let me tell you -- Iâm not that shameless. Even if I want to do something with another man, Iâll divorce first. I wonât cheat on my husband when Iâm still married, and this is my rock bottom, unlike someone who has no responsibility to the marriage.â The soft whimper came out among her fingers. Her shoulders trembled in the endless grievance.
Vincent pressed his lips, his eyes darkened. Her tears completely defeated him. Suddenly, he felt so uneasy and didnât know what to do with her.
Realizing that Leila was wronged, he wanted to frighten her only but much to his surprise, he made her cry. âDidnât I say anything wrong? You have admitted that you were seeing men every day.â
âYes, you are wrong! You mistook me as such a kind of person. Why did you come to my apartment? This is my house. Why are you squeezing in my bathtub? I donât want to take the bath with you!â She was whimpering in grievance earlier. Now she started howling loudly, her fist constantly smashing on Vincentâs body.
Her cheeks, that were covered with tears, were finally exposed.
Vincent gaped. âGee, the little girl has become so bold. How dare she hit me now!â he thought to himself.
After gaping at her for a long while, he suddenly swallowed and mumbled, âStupid woman!â
âYes, Iâm stupid. So what? Iâm so stupid that I believed you.â
âI know you didnât see a man. How dare you shout at me?â Vincent grabbed her two fists that were still smashing on his chest, unwrapping her waist all of a sudden.
âSquish!â Leila sank into the water, suddenly she breathed a lot of water in her nose and mouth...
âHow stupid!â Vincent hurriedly released her fists and wrapped her waist again. He thought that she was indeed stupid.
âAhem... Ahem... Ahem...â Leila immediately sat up. After a moment of fierce coughing, she glared at him with all her strength.
Seeing her so embarrassing, Vincent suddenly burst into laughter. His laugh sounded too hateful, and Leila felt so wronged and annoyed.
After the bath, Vincent wrapped himself with a towel. Then he sat on the sofa and said bossily, âIâm starved. I want to eat some night snacks.â
