C10 How Could It be You?
A warm and magnetic voice sounded as he turned around and walked towards her.
The second time she saw this man, she could still describe him as 'beautiful'. His expression was cold, and his black eyes were filled with a mysterious light. Because he was wearing a bathrobe, he revealed a large part of his sexy chest. His lazy expression gave off an air of nobility and elegance.
It was Layne!
Lauren was shocked. Her eyes widened. "Why... is it you?"
"Why can't it be me? If it wasn't me, do you think you would be lying on such a comfortable bed and sleeping?"
Layne's voice was slightly cold, and his expression was also extremely indifferent. Because he was standing, he actually looked down on her.
Lauren felt a lot of pressure, so she quickly shook her head and said, "I didn't mean that..."
Her mind was still a little muddled, but she vaguely remembered that she was being chased by someone sent by Duncan. She ran to the street and almost got into a car accident.
That's right, she seemed to have met a man at that time. Could it be that... it was him?
In that case, he was the one who saved her?
"Thank you for saving me."
Lauren slowly sat up from the bed and planned to thank him properly.
Unexpectedly, just as she sat up, the blanket that covered her body slipped off. Then, she felt a chill in her chest.
It was only at this moment that Lauren realized that she was naked. Those few seconds were enough to show the beauty of her chest.
"Ah!"
She screamed in shock and hurriedly pulled up the blanket to cover her body. She glared at the man in front of her in embarrassment and annoyance. "You..."
Where were her clothes?
Could this man have taken advantage of her unconsciousness to...
Layne understood what Lauren was thinking, and his eyes turned cold.
"First of all, I am not interested in a young girl who has not fully matured. Second, you begged me to save you. Even if you did something extraordinary, it was for your own safety. You should thank me, otherwise, if you were captured by those hooligans, it would not be as simple as being seen naked."
Layne pursed her thin lips and said it as if it was a matter of course.
Lauren was so embarrassed and angry that she wanted to die. It was already a tragedy that she had been seen naked, and now she was being disdained by this man.
However, she was the one who begged him to save her at that time, so she could not find any words to refute him.
Lauren wanted to cry but had no tears. After being choked for a while, she asked, "May I ask where my clothes are?"
She had not worn anything. She was in the same room with a man, and it was so ambiguous that it made people feel uncomfortable.
"I've washed them. Let me ask you, why are you at that place at one or two o'clock in the morning?"
Layne casually placed the wine glass on the bedside table. Suddenly, he bent down and stopped twenty centimeters away from Lauren. His eyes stared at her sharply.
Lauren was shocked. She clenched the blanket tightly with both hands and retreated to a corner. There was an inexplicable sense of guilt on her face.
"Why aren't you talking?"
Layne squinted his eyes. His eyes were so sharp that they seemed to be able to see through her.
Lauren lowered her eyes and tried her best not to meet his eyes. After a long while, she finally squeezed out a sentence, "Those people... were sent by Duncan to capture me."
"I didn't ask you that question."
Layne's voice became colder.
Lauren hesitated for a while before she said in a soft voice, "I... don't have the money to stay in a hotel."
After she finished speaking, the room was dead silent.
Layne looked at her in disbelief, "So you're saying that you came from Fliyji to Swienia and ended up on the streets because of a man?"
Lauren's heart ached. She did not say anything, but her expression was enough to explain everything.
"You aren't as smart as I imagined! Don't tell me that you are counting on a man like Duncan to raise you in the future? If that's the case, then I can only say that all men will cheat."
"That's not the case!"
