Lyle immediately turned his head back He paused for a moment. Then, he scratched the area behind his ear.
He looked up at William, and <b>asked</b><b>, </b>“Will, are you and Ms. Hoven backtogether?”
William held <b>a </b>ss in one hand, with the base resting in the palm of his other hand. He responded calmly, “Yeah”
Lyle hesitated: “Then, why..”
A cold gling shed in William’s eyes.
Lyle stopped mid–sentence.
After a moment’s thought, he seemed to understand. He <b>chuckled </b><b>and </b>leaned back <b>casually </b>in his chair. “No wonder they say that pain <b>is </b>the best teacher…Alright, I get it. I’ll take care of it.”

Room service arrived with their meal. Lyle was <b>about </b>to take a look at the food, but william quickly said, “I didn’t order a portion for you.”
Lyleughed and cursed before saying, “Tine! I’m just the workhorse doing all the work without getting fed. I’ll go get something to eat myself.”
william picked up the car keys Lyle had tossed on the table earlier and threw them to him. “<b>Becareful</b><b>.</b>”
Lyle waved a hand in acknowledgment <b>and </b>walked out, his stepszy and casual. As he closed the door, he nced in the direction of the bedroom, seemingly unintentionally<b>.</b>
Once outside<b>, </b>his nonchnt expression disappeared. He stood quietly for a moment. Then, he lit <b>a </b>cigarette and smoked as he made his way downstairs.
william set down his ss and entered the bedroom

Emelle was standing by the bed, looking around. When she saw hime in, she paused before a
“1sent them for dry cleaning,” William replied. He walked over and wrapped his arm around her waist, his hand resting just below the hem of her borrowed shirt.
His eyes darkened as he asked, “No clothes? Why didn’t you call <b>me</b><b>? </b><b>You </b><b>just </b>came out like this?”
Last night, driven by emotion, everything Emelie did felt natural. But now, she was awake, and this kind of intimacy felt unfamiliar and ufortable.
She bither lip. “I didn’t know Lyle was here. Did I Interrupt you?”
william leaned down to capture her lips. “Idon’t like anyone else seeing you like this”
Emelie’s usuallyposed and logical appearance always made her seem calm and rational. However, Emelie had just woken up, her defenses down and her eyes dazed like a lost tawn it ignited an irresistible urge in someone to <b>do </b>something to her
As his breath tangled with her, Emelie’s heart fluttered. She <b>turned </b>her head to avoid hisss. “<b>Isn’t </b>he your best friend<b>?</b>”
“It doesn’t matter. Don’t avoid me.” Emelle hesitated for a moment. But she soon found herself captured by <b>his </b>kiss.
William guided her backward until her back pressed against the wardrobe. His hand pinned her wrists above her head, leaving her no <b>choice </b>but to tilt her head <b>back</b>.
The cool mint scent of his aftershave filled her senses, blurring the line between his scent and her ownL
William lifted the hem of her shirt, his eyes darkened as he took in the sight. “You really aren’t wearing anything underneath,”
“I couldn’t find anything to wear,” Emelie protested. She struggled to free her hands and push him away, “William, <b>wait</b>. I’m hungry. <b>I </b>need to eat.”
His voice was smooth. “I’m hungry <b>too</b><b>.</b><b>”</b>
Emelie was speechless. Clearly, they weren’t talking about the same kind of hunger.
Emelie was afraid that if he got too excited, he might want sex again, so she quickly <b>said</b>, “I haven’t eaten for three meals.”
william finally withdrew his hand. He nced at his fingers with a smirk. He <b>said</b>, “You must be really hungry.”
Emelie was speechless. She was certain he wasn’t referring to her <b>kind </b>of hunger.
She felt both embarrassed and Instrated. Then, she shoved him away with her all might.
He didn’t grab her forcefully this time. Instead, he let <b>go </b>and beaded to the bathroom to wash his <b>hands</b>. He grabbed <b>a </b>disposable <b>pair </b>of underwear and a bathrobe from the cab, motioning for her to put <b>them </b>on first.
Emelie had been searching everywhere for just a moment ago. She couldn’t find the bathrobe,
to discover it in the bathroom cab.
She got herself sorted out and came out. Not seeing Lyle, she knew he had left, and Williams had already ced the meal delivered by room service on the table.
She reached out and touched the edge of the bowl. She found it <b>a </b>bit cold, but she didn’t say anything. She intended to just make do.
William nced at her <b>and </b>surprisingly understood her meaning. He took it to the kitchen to heat it in the microwave.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.
She was taken aback. He had never been this observant of her before, not <b>had </b>be taken the initiative to do these things. While William waited, he casually leaned against the cupboard.
Today, he was notably dressed in warm colors. A light beige crewneck sweater<b>, </b>casually cut with the shoulder line falling at arm’s length, He exuded a youthful
rofesion that softened <b>his </b>otherwise unapproachable and dignified demeanor,
After all, he was only a years old. He was born in 1995, but his usual high position <b>of </b>power and overwhelming <b>aura </b>often made people <b>forget </b>about his age. Suddenly, William spoke up, “Bayan suspended your position. You should <b>return </b>to Cloudex Corporation. I’ve been waiting for you.”
