After all that rubbing and friction, the woman's fair soft foot felt scalded by the burning heat of the man's large hand...

She did not know when Luke let go of her foot. All she remembered was a pain from her lower abdomen that came in waves. Eventually, there was a thin layer of sweat over her forehead...

The dizziness from the wine and the cramps made her curl up on the large, soft, and warm bed. Before she knew it, she had drifted off to sleep.

Every so often, Luke would come to rest in this suite here at this hotel.

The hotel belonged to T Corporation.

From the day he officially returned to the Crawfords and began work at T Corporation, this suite had belonged to him. Unrelated persons were usually not allowed to come even close to this place.

After she fell asleep, he adjusted the air-conditioning temperature and carefully covered her with the blankets.

By the time Bianca woke up, it was already dark outside.

She looked around the unfamiliar hotel room and took a second to react before she finally remembered what had happened.

She propped herself up, certain that she was sober now. There was still a slight dizziness and headache, though.

Her phone was right next to her, so she grabbed it.

There was a text from Sue Carter.

"I'm at the company now. The head asked where'd you gone and why you didn't come back. I told her that Jason Doyle had assigned you a last-minute

assignment and that you wouldn't be able to make it back today." Sue had sent that message at half-past four.

Bianca blinked.

Bianca and Sue were both T Corporation employees, and Sue should have seen the way their boss treated her in that room. Bianca figured that Sue should have guessed where she had gone too.

Was that why Sue lied for her? She did it to cover up another fact that would inevitably get tongues wagging.

Bianca did not know to explain, so she simply replied with, "Thank you, Sue." 1
