Chapter 159
With that reminder, Moira forced herself to gather her thoughts and return her attention to the
game.
Soon, a group battle broke out in her game. Moira was no longer in the mood to think about
whether she and Bary were sitting too close.
Bary gave her tips from time to time. Due to Bary’s reminders, she only died twice in this
round.
When the game ended, Moira looked at her good results and subconsciously felt a little smug. “I’m
the MVP.”
“Yes, very impressive.” Bary looked at her and replied respectfully.
At this moment, Moira realized she was practically in Bary’s arms.
Moira instantly lost her cool, and her hand, which was holding her phone, trembled.
Moira’s ears immediately tumed red, and the flush spread from her ears to her cheeks. Soon, even
her face turned red.
They were so close.
The fragrance of fir filled her nostrils. Every time she breathed, it was the familiar fragrance of
wood.
The scent was fresh yet distant, very much like Bary’s personality.
Their thighs were resting against each other. She could feel Bary’s body temperature through the
twoyers of thin fabric.
‘No!‘ Moira thought.
Moira pursed her lips and ced a hand on the sofa, trying to distance herself from him.
However, Moira had ced her hand on the edge of the sofa. As the leather surface of the sofa was
quite smooth, she couldn’t keep her bnce and slid off.
Moira had barely lifted herself off the sofa when she lost her bnce. Moira fell directly onto the
cushion that had been on the ground near her feet and fell forward a little, her headnding right in
Bary’sp.
There was a silence in the room.
Moira had just wanted to move away from Bary a little and had not had any other thoughts.
Moira raised her head quietly. Unexpectedly, she met Bary’s ck eyes. Moira pursed her lips
and swallowed. “… I lost my bnce.”
‘Do you believe that?” Moira thought.
Bary looked at her earlobe which was flushed a dark red. His thin lips curled up slightly. “Did you
hurt yourself?”
“Not” Moira quickly answered.
Moira hurriedly stood up with the help of the coffee table. Her backside was hurting from where she
hadnded, but she was too embarrassed to do anything else. Moira endured the ache and said,
“It’s gettingte. I’m going to rest.”

Bary did not embarrass her any further. “Good night.”
“Good night,” Moira answered.
Moira bent down to pick up her phone. When she raised her hand, her pinky brushed the back of
Bary’s hand which was resting in hisp. Moira’s pinky shrank slightly, and she gripped her
phone tightly. She quickly turned around and returned to her room.
Bary sat on the sofa and watched as Moira ran away like a frightened rabbit. The corners of his
lips curled up into a faint smile.
Bary watched her as she disappeared around the corner of the staircase. Then, he retracted his
gaze, took out his phone, and slowly dialed Linden’s number.
When Linden received a call from Bary in the middle of the night, he was extremely nervous. “Mr.
Covington, good evening.”
“Talk to the finance department tomorrow. Starting next month, your sry will increase by ten
percent.” Bary spoke.
Linden was almost unable to hide his shock at the sudden surprise. When he finally reacted, he
suppressed his excitement and replied, “Understood, Mr. Covington.”
“That’s all. Have a good rest tonight.” Bary said.. Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.
Bary hung up the call and tapped his index finger on his thigh. Then, he got up and went
upstairs, walking to the guest room and knocking
twice on the door.
The door opened quickly. Moira, who was wearing a purple cartoon short–sleeved pajamas, poked
her head out. “Is something the matter, Mr. Covington?”
Bary retracted his hand slightly and resisted the urge to reach out and touch her, “I forgot to tell
you. My wife doesn’t have to be useful.”
