On the couch. Xavier narrowed his eyes, his thin lips barely parting. Suddenly, a voice came from the doorway. “Oh, it’s you? Why haven’t you left yet?”
The moment this voice echoed, everyone in the private room turned to look in its direction. Unbeknownst to them, a tall man had entered the room at some point.
Mabel was taken aback and turned her head toward the door. “Oh, it’s you.”
Caydence glanced at the tall, imposing man standing at the door, then shifted his gaze to Mabel “Wow, Henry, so you know. her!” he said, his almond–shaped eyes lit up with amusement. That’s strange. Why would Henry bother to acquaint himself with a janitor
Caydence stroked his chin, clearly ready to enjoy the unfolding drama.
Xavier’s gaze also fell upon Henry. A trace of darkness was hidden in his eyes.
Henry didn’t mind how everyone’s attention was on him. He looked at Mabel quizzically. What’s that woman up to? Why does it seem like she’s trying to force a kiss on Xavier’s personal bodyguard?
Blinking nonchalantly, he sketched out a smile. “It’s strange. I only left for a moment and the room has become lively.”
With his hands tucked in his suit trousers, he sauntered over to Mabel, asking as he walked, “What are you doing?”
Caydence was about to speak when Simon smoothly interrupted, a glint flashing in his eyes. “Her? She’s provoked Mr. Scott. See that bottle of whiskey on the table?” Simon casually pointed to a bottle on the table. “Mr. Scott has given
her a choice Either she finishes that bottle, or she kisses the bodyguard in front of everybody
“Oh Henry drew out his response, leisurely making his way toward Mabel. His gaze lazily swept over Xavier, who was seated on the couch, and he nonchalantly stroked his chin with a dismissive air. “Mr. Scott sure knows how to have fun. Since you’re so keen on watching a spicy kissing scene, why not let me take the lead for once? I’m not bragging, but if my kissing skills are ranked second, no one would dare to claim the first spot.”
Then, with lightning speed, he stretched out and pulled the dazed Mabel into his embrace.
Caught off guard, Mabel found herself crashing into Henry’s embrace. A moment later, a wave of warmth washed over her lips, causing her eyes to widen in surprise.
I’ve been….. küsed:
Following that realization, her face flushed, and a rush of heat spread from the tips of her ears all the way to her toes.
Henry was startled by the delicate softness of the lips beneath his. This feels… [‘cking good!
Originally, he hadn’t intended to kiss her deeply. Under a playful mindset, he had merely planned to brush a fleeting kiss against her lips. Unexpectedly, he was drawn in by the enticing sensation of her lips.
Just as he was about to deepen the kiss, a forceful interruption snatched the
e woun
Henry didn’t get the sweet reward he had hoped for, casting a displeased look at the person leading Mabel away.
“Xavier, give her back to me.”
Xavier’s expression was gloomy, his gaze piercingly sharp. “She has offended me. Until my anger subsides, no one can take
her away
Henry arched an eyebrow at Xavier. Their relationship had always been a complex one, a mix of rivalry and camaraderie, since their childhood days. Even when Henry had gone abroad with his parents and Xavier had stayed back in their home country, their bond remained unaltered.
However, Henry was immensely curious about the woman Xavier was interested in. He glanced at the woman the latter had pulled behind him, and to his surprise, he found that her cars were completely flushed red.
Hold up, if this
woman has never been held by a man like this before, then could it be that she has never kissed….
“Hey, was that your first kiss?”

Bam!
Mabel’s face was bright red, and so were her ears, so much so they looked as if they could bleed. Even without uttering a word, her beet–red face had said it all.
Even Henry himself hadn’t realized, his mood at that moment was through the roof
With a smirk playing on his lips, he looked at Xavier with a seemingly amused yet not quite laughing expression. “And wi I insist on taking her with me?”
Cheers and whistles filled the an around, fueled by Caydence’s love for chaos. “Simon, quickly grab your phone and record this Mr. Carter is provoking Xavier for a woman! This news will fetch a fortune if sold to a magazine! It’s bound to make the front–page headline tomorrow!
Simon casually poured himself a glass of whiskey, raising an eyebrow at the excited look on Caydence’s face. I can guarantee if you go ahead with this, tomorrow’s front–page headline will surely be ‘Unidentified Naked Corpse Found in Aster River.”
“Um…
Of course, Xavier noticed the blush that had spread across Mabel’s face. Suddenly, he found this bashful expression rather
irksome
His piercing gaze fell coldly upon her lips. Narrowing his eyes, he seemed lost in thought.
Under the unabashed gaze of Xavier, Mabel uncomfortably turned her head away, hoping to evade this inscrutable stare.
An inexplicable anger brewed in Xavier’s heart. His grip around Mabel’s wrist tightened like a vice, and with a swift bend or his waist, he hoisted her onto his shoulder as if she were a sack of sand. Under the stunned gazes of Henry. Simon, Caydence. and the others, he strode out of the private room’s door.
Henry was the first to react. He was practically seething in anger out of humiliation.
“Stop!” He chased after them unhesitatingly.
Caydence’s mouth fell open, still struggling to process the reality he was witnessing
