Chapter 140

With his friends’ encouragement, Sumner didn’t want to spoil the fun.

After all, they only mentioned that he had to ki*s a girl without specifying where.

He would do it casually.

“I’m telling you, no girl on this planet who can resist me!”

Sumner, in his drunken state, spoke without much thought.

After boasting, he confidently removed his shirt, displaying his well-defined chest muscles to his friends behind him, declaring, “Watch and learn!”

With his head held high, he confidently strolled out of the room.

Laughter echoed behind him as his friends teased, “Don’t think you can fool us.

We’ll have someone secretly follow you!”

Once outside the private room, Lindsey answered the call from Nancy.

“Lindsey, I’ve checked dozens of rooms, but Mercer was nowhere to be found.

How are things going on your end?”

Hearing her determined voice, Lindsey reluctantly shared the room number with Nancy.

After ending the call, Lindsey decided to leave.

But as she approached the elevator, someone grabbed her wrist.

Startled, Lindsey spun around and instinctively delivered a punch to the shirtless man standing before her!

Sumner, clearly drunk, couldn’t avoid her swing.

His face took the hit, turning red and swollen instantly.

Lindsey thought she was facing a pervert, but upon closer inspection, she recognized Sumner, his face flushed and carrying the scent of alcohol.
