Standing at the hotel room door, Lana Xavier felt like she was a cooked little octopus, her face surely red as could be.
This was the first time in her life she’d entered a hotel with a man.
Although she was no longer young, her dating experience was zero.
She didn’t know what she was supposed to do at this moment.
In her wildest dreams, she never imagined it—she had been the one to invite Julian Xavier, yet Julian bought the tickets, and they were tickets for a two-day one-night package.
"How about... maybe we should just forget it..."
"Forget what?"
With one hand on Lana Xavier’s shoulder, Julian Xavier used the other hand to swipe the room card and open the weighty door.
"I bought a two-day ticket, are you not planning to accompany me?"
A hint of grievance slipped through Julian’s voice.
"No, I want to be with you!"
Lana turned to look at Julian, and upon meeting his smiling eyes, her heart couldn’t help but race.
When it came to handsome men, she had seen plenty.
There was the gentle and graceful Ethan White, and the overly authoritative Caleb Lockwood.
But only Julian Xavier made her feel this way, made her heart flutter.
Lana’s face burned intensely; she was so nervous that her limbs became stiff.
She didn’t know whether she walked in on her own or was pushed in by Julian Xavier, she just found herself beside the bed inexplicably.
"So... um... isn’t this... progressing too fast?"
Lana’s tongue curled.
Julian Xavier smiled softly.
"Don’t you like me?"
"I... I... I... like you..."
Lana’s last half of the sentence was so quiet she could hardly hear herself.
"Then just relax and give yourself to me, don’t worry, I’ll be very gentle with you..."
Julian’s calm voice seemed magical; Lana couldn’t resist at all.
She didn’t realize how Julian Xavier had managed to strip off her clothes so confusingly.
She only knew that she was dazedly pushed onto the bed by Julian Xavier, and what followed was a fiery passion.
Lana Xavier experienced it for the first time.
She thought Julian wasn’t lying when he said he’d be gentle with her.
But...
After comfortably venting on Lana Xavier, Julian Xavier got out of bed, took a shower, and then returned to bed and lit a cigarette.
Water drops trickled down from his wet hair to his high nose bridge.
He puffed smoke while scrolling on his phone.
On WeChat, Claire Shaw had sent several messages in succession.
Claire Shaw: joker what are you doing? Why aren’t you replying to my messages?
Julian Xavier, also joker, glanced at Lana, who was lying on the bed asleep, blood staining the sheets beneath her, and typed a few words:
Busy helping a naive girl lose her innocence!
Claire, upon receiving this message, paused and sneered:
You know a naive girl?
joker: Changing flavors, better than your whore kind.
Claire’s hand shook, almost dropping her phone.
She gritted her teeth in frustration, but couldn’t do anything about joker.
Claire Shaw: The Fulton Family has gone bankrupt, I’ve lost another helper. If you still want shares in Lockwood Group, you’ll have to help me figure out a way.
joker: I won’t chase men, if you can’t win Caleb Lockwood’s heart, what can I do? It’s for you to figure out. I’m giving you another month, if you can’t secure Lockwood Group shares by then, I’ll send you back to Meridia to live the life you used to.
Claire looked at her phone, every word from joker filled her with fear, raising goosebumps.
You wouldn’t dare!
She sent back these two words through clenched teeth.
