Chapter 182: So you're just here

"Haist! Who would that be? Do you expect any guests today?" I asked in dismay but still let him nibble my neck.

"No, I don't," he replied in a whisper and stopped but then I grabbed his face.

"Then just pretend you're not here and let them ring that bell until they get tired!" I said before pulling and kissing him again.

But it wasn't a few seconds passed when that annoying guest or guests on the other side of the door pressed the bell again. "Argh!" I complained, annoyed.

"Let's just ignore them," he said with a chuckle.

But here's the bell again.

"Haist! Jesus Christ! Fine, go and find who they are. I'll wait for you here!" I patted him on the shoulder, mentioning him to get up.

"Are you sure?"

"Hmhm," I hummed as I nodded.

"Okay, I'll shoo them away so I can get back immediately."

"Alright, aren't you going to put your shirt back?" I asked as he was about to go to the door... topless.

"Nope, I'm sure this won't take long," he winked and I chuckled.

"Okay, as you say so," I said with a shrug and hook my bra again.

But a few seconds later... just a few seconds after Luke walked towards the door, I heard the voice of a woman.

"Oh, sweet heaven! Why are you topless--- aren't you called?"

I frowned, confused as to who that woman was but when I heard my name...

"I can't find my best friend! Samantha is missing!"

-'Huh!'- A loud gasp escaped my throat and my eyes turned wide as saucers when I finally recognized her voice. -'Jeez! How the hell on earth did I not recognize Jack's voice?'-
