Chapter 139

“Oh, really?” Jenny emphasized that Lily had not convinced her in the slightest.

“Yup, that‘s what happened.” Lily took a deep breath and lightly nudged Jenny. “Aww, I missed the cold and arrogant you. I didn‘t know that you were this noisy. Hurry up and take your shower. I‘m still waiting for my turn!”

“This is exactly how a person would react wlién exposed, but it‘s fine. I won‘t bicker with a child” Jenny waved her hand to dismiss Lily and turned toward the bathroom.

Lily rolled her eyes but sighed in relief. She was glad that Jenny had let her off easily, but Lily knew she needed to be extra careful when meeting Alexander the next time.

When she thought of Alexander, Lily took her phone and noticed she had received a text from him, saying, “1808.” It was Alexander‘s room number. Lily smiled and sent him a cute emoji before cleaning up the leftovers on the table. After clearing the table, she removed her clothes from the luggage and saw Jenny leaving the bathroom with her hair still wet, “I‘m done. It‘s your turn.” “Okay,” Lily walked to the bathroom and turned back, “It‘s been a long day. You don‘t have to stay up to wait for me. Just go to bed if you‘re tired.”

“Why would I wait for you? I don‘t need you to warm my side of the bed!” Jenny joked while drying her hair with a towel. Lily turned and walked into the bathroom.

It was almost midnight, yet Melanie was still wide awake on her bed. However, she kept thinking of what Frank had said to her. ‘Tonight... After tonight... Ugh, why is the night passing so slowly?‘

It was agonizing, and Melanie wished tomorrow would come sooner so she would not have to choose.

Unfortunately, it was a long night. If she allowed this opportunity to slip away, she might not get another chance to become famous in the future.

Melanie could not sleep, no matter how hard she tried. She removed her phone from under the pillow, but there were no texts from Frank. He did not rush her because he knew Melanie too well. He knew her weakness and what she desired as he patiently waited for her like a predator awaiting its prey.

Melanie knew it was all a trap, but she could not resist the temptation. After a while, she called Nathaniel. Moments later, Nathaniel answered her call and asked, “Mel? What‘s wrong?” “I–I can‘t sleep,” Melanie bit her lips and said softly.
