Ludwik’s Adam’s apple bobbed as Whitney leaned in closer, her soft body seeking his warmth. His breath grew heavier in response, and his cool gaze narrowed.

Whitney’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment. He remained silent, multiplying her discomfort.

Seeing this, Nolan could not help but feel a bit frustrated with Ludwik’s leniency. He decided to tease Whitney “Anything goes, huh? Ms. Valentine, you frequent the clubs a lot, right? You must be good at dancing. How about giving him a little show to lighten the mood?”

Whitney’s face paled as she shot Nolan a cold glare, refusing to dignify his comment with a response.
