Burnet straightened his attire, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.

As Silver Fox opened the door, Burnet’s smile broadened, and he stepped forward to enter. However, she swiftly raised her leg and blocked the doorway with a firm stance. “What do you think you’re doing?” she demanded.

Burnet, taken aback by her resistance, paused, bewildered. Since Silver Fox didn’t refuse the money, he thought she would allow him to enter the master bedroom. “I’m going into the room, take a shower, and go to bed,” he said.

Silver Fox eyed him with a mix of contempt and disbelief. “Mr. Hoffman, are you delusional or just feigning ignorance?” she rebuked sharply. “You agreed you wouldn’t force anything until I was ready. Remember?”

Confusion clouded Burnet’s expression. “But you didn’t refuse my money and opened the door. Wasn’t that a signal?”

Silver Fox chuckled, almost amused by the misunderstanding. “Just because I accepted your money and opened the door doesn’t nullify our agreement.”

Burnet was at a loss for words, realizing his mistake. To Silver Fox, the substantial sum had merely bought him entry, nothing more.
