Artemis finally let Bailey go after a few seconds of stalemate.

The woman jumped up from the couch almost as soon as she was released.

His face darkened further when he saw how she was avoiding him like he was the plague.

She wasn't playing hard to get. Instead, she genuinely hated him and wanted to stay as far away from him as possible.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

There were knocks on the lounge's door, and Artemis asked in a low voice, “Do you want to hide in the restroom, or are you just going to stand here and let them see you?”

Do I even have an option?

Bailey turned around and walked toward the restroom.

Artemis watched her leaving figure while wearing a grim expression.

This d*mned woman didn't even hesitate to escape from me. Would she act this way in front of Edmund?

Dwayne's charming face came into view when the door was opened.

Artemis asked in an icy cold tone, “What is it?”

Dwayne grinned before standing on tiptoe and peeking into the room. “I heard that Ms. Rhonda brought you some soup. Where is she? Don't tell me you got excited and devoured her on a whim...”

“Shut up,” Artemis growled.

Dwayne's gaze slowly moved down and landed on the place between Artemis' legs. He arched a brow and smiled.

What a boring man. He was enjoying himself alone.

“Are you done? If you're done, get lost.”

Dwayne rubbed his nose and smiled sheepishly. “Do you need me to go to the entertainment company under Luther Group to find you a popular actress? Those women are all young and pretty, and they—”
