Chapter 52

The water that gushed from Bailey's head instantly woke her up, bringing her to her senses.

Looking stunned, she wiped away the water on her face and turned her attention to the handsome man.

Upon gazing into his deep, dark eyes, a vortex of anger swirled inside her, and she exploded. “You jerk, b*stard, lecher, shameless idiot...”

Bailey raised her arms and slapped his cheek ferociously.

The sound was so loud that it echoed in the tiny space inside the car.

The woman hopped up from his thigh and knocked against the car ceiling before Artemis could grab her arm.

Bailey massaged her head to get rid of the buzzing sound while hugging her chest with her arms.

She shot daggers at the man and asked, “What are you trying to do to me?”

Artemis blanched at her words. It was as if he was about to explode. F*ck! No one has slapped me like how this da*n woman did!

The man clenched his teeth and said, “You're safe.”

He crossed his arms, leaned against the seat, and shut his eyes, pretending that she was invisible.

Bailey frowned. She was able to think in the right mind once she regained her composure.

After glancing at the water bottle and her wet gown, she finally understood what had happened. He must have rescued me, but I'd mistaken him for being a pervert.
