Chapter 116 Pettiness

As their body temperatures increased at an accelerating rate, the whole room was starting to burn. The intimate kiss spread all the way to Courtney’s chin, neck and her chest while a huge pair of hands swept through her body. However, she did not resist him at all since her mind was completely blank.

“Miss Hunter, Penelope has woken up. What should we do? The police are also here.”

Suddenly, she returned to her senses and pushed Alexander away as she sat up in panic.

After taking a deep breath, she tried her best to compose herself. “I’m here. I didn’t hear you the first time because I’m a little busy. I’ll be there in 5 minutes. You can head there first.”

Suddenly, she could feel her face flushing as she stared at him. “It’s all because of you.”

“Actually, your lie isn’t convincing enough.” He held his arms and spoke teasingly. “Many people saw me carrying you here. How likely is it that your assistant doesn’t know that I’m in here?”
