She could no longer remember how she fell asleep.
At first, she'd been on guard against falling asleep, but when she felt how comfortable the down quilt was beneath her, she just couldn't help it...
It had been so cold! She'd pulled the covers up over her, promising herself she'd close her eyes for just a moment. Then...
She swallowed her saliva. The palm that had just hit him was still burning with pain. She regretted it so much that she felt like she might cry.
"Mr....Mr. Jin...I-I really didn't do it on purpose!"
"You think that just because you didn't do it on purpose, you should be forgiven?"
"...?"
"If that was the case, then how many murderers in the world would be released from prison?"
His tone was as sharp and mean as usual. Although he was arrogant and domineering, every word he said made sense. His logic was always flawless.
She bit her lower lip. It was different from that night when she was drunk. Now, she could clearly feel this man's strong body pressing against hers...
His hard bones, and...that scalding heat that made her afraid...
Under his body, she trembled slightly, like a small animal.
When he'd first walked into the bedroom, the moon was bathing her fair body in a layer of silvery light. He saw her lying on the bed before him, asleep and defenseless.
She was like a delicious snack, just waiting for him to taste her.
Jin Di did not like to wait. He would immediately take action if he wanted to.
So he took action...but she struggled!
Jin Di's eyes darkened and his Adam's apple moved slightly, but he did not go any further. She buried her face into the down pillow and did not look up at him.
This made him unhappy. He reached out and pulled her chin up so that he could look at her.
When he did, he felt a touch of moisture on her chin, and his brows furrowed.
"You're crying?"
She was silent.
Growing even more irritated, he moved his body closer to hers. His voice was cold.
"Answer me."
She stared at him stubbornly, the corners of her eyes sparkling. Her hoarse voice was filled with determination, and she suddenly said,
"Go on, do it."
He did not move.
She added, "Do as you like. Since I signed the contract, I won't regret it. I wasn't awake just now, and my mind was still a little muddled, but...now you can do as you like...whatever you like...I'll cooperate with you."
Her voice was obviously trembling, but she said what she felt she had to.
Jin Di could tell she didn't mean it.
He smiled mockingly. "Unfortunately, I have no appetite for unwilling snacks today."
This time, it was her turn to be surprised.
She thought that while she was asleep, he'd already...?
He suddenly got up and turned on the light.
Only then did she realize that he was still wearing a suit. She stared at his slender, perfect, legs encased in their expensive-looking fabric as he loosened his tie, disappearing into the nearby walk-in closet.
She hadn't noticed the walk-in closet there before—the Butler hadn't pointed it out to her.
She let her mind wander, and before she knew it Jin Di was already back in the bedroom.
He was bare-chested and only wore a towel...
His body was even more perfect than the male models in fashion magazines, with beautiful muscles!
She was stunned.
He lazily lifted his eyelids, catching her hot gaze on his skin, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a smirk. "It isn't too late to change your mind, you know. Maybe you'll even perform well tonight and make me happy enough to return the flower shop to you. Do you want to try?"
Her face flushed red, and she just barely stopped herself from throwing a pillow at him.
