Anna Jadwin felt her heart race under his burning gaze, and struggled to sit up.
Wayne Bailey supported her back and held her in his arms, "Awake now? You had a nightmare."
For some reason, his embrace was so wide and warm that it drove away her pain.
"How did I fall asleep?" She bit her lip, remembering clearly that she was sitting on his lap eating cake before.
As clever as she was, she quickly suspected that there might be something wrong with the cake...
Wayne Bailey chuckled softly, "Maybe it was just too boring."
Anna Jadwin's hand immediately reached for her hair.
Instant noodle hairstyle was still there, and the glasses were still on...
These were her amulets!
She felt slightly relieved, traced her fingers along her face, and felt that her makeup was still intact. Phew...a sigh of relief.
She almost thought she had fallen for Wayne Bailey's trick and had been deceived by him!
