Chapter 100

I was about to say something when he whispered again, "I can't help it, I can't help wanting to be close to you, to treat you well, and that includes... flirting with you."

"No need," I snapped back to reality, pulling away from him. "I can do it myself."

I hurriedly fished out my key card, swiped it to open the door, and then leaned against it, unable to compose myself for a long time.

When Deborah came back, I was already lying in bed. She was tiptoeing, probably to avoid waking me up.

I didn't open my eyes because I didn't want to talk, but I heard Deborah mutter softly, "Sleeping just fine, my coming here was pointless." Hearing that, I twitched my fingers under the blanket, realizing Deborah must have been sent by Ernest to check on me.
