Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison

Chapter 722 The Interview

Chandler’s fierce kiss left no room for resistance, utterly claiming Meryl. With the light behind him, his towering figure cast a shadow over her, wrapping her in his presence. In that instant, it felt as if she had been drawn into a vast and inescapable abyss.

Chandler’s breath, hot and heavy, landed on her neck without missing a beat. The proximity made her cheeks burn, yet her back was pressed against the icy wall. The contrast between heat and cold sent sharp waves of sensation through her body.

Chandler looked over to the tightly shut door, and his Adam’s apple bobbed. If this had been before, he probably would have knocked on the door right away, gone inside, and told Meryl it wasn’t intentional.

But maybe today had just been too much. Maybe it was the alcohol dulling his senses. Either way, Chandler had no energy left for explanations. His head felt heavy, and after a moment’s hesitation, he turned away and walked into the study.
