I’m actually still very sleepy. I want to go back to bed and sleep for a while Longer.”


    Jared casually leaned against the sofa and grumbled, “Tomboy, we’re guests of yours here. Is that how


    you would treat your guests? You haven’t even served us tea or coffee or anything yet and you’re


    already making us leave! Well, that’s not polite.”


    “Fine, get a dor from my bag and go downstairs and buy yourself a bottle of water. Help yourself to


    whatever you want,” Debbie spat as she heaved a yawn.


    She was very tired. Even though she and Carlos didn’t really have sexst night, the way he touched,


    kissed, and bit her was enough to exhaust her. It seemed like he was still the same lover she had


    remembered. In fact, even better. And Debbie didn’t even want to get started on how Carlos kissed her.


    Looking at the dark circles under Debbie’s eyes, Sasha said sympathetically, “Debbie, you better rest


    for now. Don’t worry. We have something else to do. We should get going.” Then, she broke free from


    Jared’s grip and walked up to Debbie. In a hushed voice, she cautioned,


    “Debbie, you’re still young. Don’t tire yourself out. Be careful of your health, especially your…” ‘Kidney!’


    Sasha didn’t blurt out thatst word. Frequent sex could cause kidney deficiency, but since they didn’t


    really have sexst night, Sasha stopped her joke midway.


    Debbie’s lips twitched.


    Jared dragged Sasha to leave the apartment. Debbie returned to her bedroom without seeing her


    friends off. As soon as she climbed onto her bed, she fell asleep at once.

    On the sixth floor


    When Stephanie woke up, it was already past seven o’clock in the morning. After drinking the soup


    prepared by the maid, she fixed herself and went to knock on Carlos’ bedroom door.


    But no one opened the door. After a few moments, she pushed open the door and heard someone in


    the bathroom. She realized that it was probably Carlos.


    But something was wrong. She checked the time and it was around 8:00.


    Carlos normally jogged in the morning. He woulde back around 6:40 and by 7:00, he would


    already have taken his shower. So why was he showering so Late?


    She caught a glimpse of the tidy bed. That was when she grew suspicious. ‘Didn’t Carlos sleep here


    last night? Or did he actually make his bed before going into the shower?”


    As she got lost in her thoughts, the sound of the running water suddenly stopped. Stephanie stared at


    the bathroom door. Soon, the door flew open.


    With a bath towel sloppily hanging over his waist, Carlos walked out the bathroom. When he saw the


    woman in his bedroom, he slightly furrowed his brows.


    Stephanie snapped out of her trance and exined, “I just came to tell you,st night I…” She stopped


    mid-sentence when she noticed an obvious love bite on Carlos’ neck.


    ‘Love bites!’ Stephanie thought in shock. She struggled to shift her sight past his neck and onto his


    arm, only to find hickeys there as well. Her heart sank and her face went pale.


    Sensing her gaze on his body, Carlos checked his arm. He remembered that Debbie had deliberately


    left love bites there as payback for his torture. Without letting it bother him, he grabbed another clean


    towel and wiped his wet hair. Instead of exining the situation to


    Stephanie, he asked her, “Do you have anything important to tell me?”


    As an experienced woman who had dealt with difficult situations in business, Stephanie was able to


    quickly regain herposure. Taking a deep breath, she collected herself and asked casually, “Last


    night-“


    “Stephanie,” Carlos interrupted her coldly.


    “I hope what happenedst night won’t happen again.”


    “I’m sorry, Carlos. I know that you are mostly busy. I shouldn’t have—”
