Chapter 295
Felicia and the person on the other end of the line didn’t speak.
The only sound that came through the receiver was the faint breath on the other end, occasionally interrupted by a slight electrical buzzing.
Bored, she fiddled with her phone in one hand and picked the label on a herb rack with the other, slowly peeling it off.
Finally unable to take it anymore, she pursed her lips and asked irritably, “What are you doing?
“You tell me. What do you think I’m doing?”
A deep, clear voice responded, tinged with amusement. She pressed the phone to her ear, and when the words came through, they felt almost as if the warmth of his breath was brushing against her ear, sending a tickling sensation down her spine.
Felicia nearly sprained her back from the provocative tone!
She realized then that the once aloof and indifferent Stephan, whom people had once regarded as an untouchable deity, now seemed to have become someone entirely different.
After experiencing intimacy, he had unlocked some hidden side of him. Not only did his skills in bed become effortless, but his ability to speak seductive words also seemed to come naturally.
She gritted her teeth. “You’re shameless… Goodbye!”
Just as she was about to hang up, she heard his innocent voice.
up, she heard his innocent voice say, “Tsk… Why do you always think like that?”
She was speechless. He even played the victim! How infuriating!
Felicia left the storeroom, and the eight seasoned physicians were busy inside the clinic. One of them noticed her and was surprised. “Ms. Fuller, why is your face so red?”
“Is it really red?” she thought. She then touched her face and realized it was slightly warm.
She couldn’t help it. Certain images kept flashing in her mind uncontrollably.
To some extent, she could be easily swayed by a handsome man.
Felicia cleared her throat to cover it up. “It’s too stuffy inside. You guys continue. I’m going out to get some fresh air.”
“Okay,” the physicians replied as they continued their tasks–consulting, performing acupuncture, prescribing–everything running smoothly.
Chaup 295
Once outside, the cool breeze cleared her head a little. It was rare for the weather in Khogend to be so clear it was a beautiful day.
Carmen had invited her to go hiking in the afternoon, and she agreed. After leaving the clinic, she took a taxi to her apartment to meet Carmen
It was still early, so they decided to have lunch first.
Carmen had made the meal herself–three dishes and a soup. They were all delicious and full
of flavor.
After eating, Felicia cleaned the table and then went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, i their unspoken routine–Felicia would clean up when Carmen cooked.
as was
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
The knocking came from apartment 702, Carmen’s place.
Carmen’s expression slightly changed. Seeing that Felicia was busy in the kitchen with the sound of water running, she walked out quietly.
The person knocking was Calvin.
Since his information had been exposed, leading to a barrage of rumors and a tarnished reputation, his dreams of a promotion were shattered, and he even lost his job!
As a result, he had been harassing her almost every day, either threatening her or begging her,
Her face turned cold as she pretended to reach for her phone. “Leave, or I’ll have to call the police!”
He turned around, his eyes bloodshot. Then, suddenly, he knelt in front of Carmen, crying. Carmen, I really like you! Why are you punishing me like this?”
Carmen was disgusted! His shamelessness repulsed her even more!
She barely knew Calvin; they lived in the same neighborhood, and if anything, they were neighbors!
They had only bumped into each other a few times on the street and barely exchanged words!
Yet here he was, claiming he liked her while secretly taking photos of her, altering them, and creating some obscene, indecent images and videos!
