Chapter 116

Victoria was by the doorway, looking at the two people standing close to each other, her wide eyes about to pop from their sockets.

It was no surprise that she had misunderstood the situation. From her angle, Bailey seemed to be leaning into Artemis' arms meekly.

At the same time, Artemis seemed to be whispering sweet nothings into Bailey's ears.

It looked like a sweet and romantic sight.

Right as Victoria cried out, Bailey reached the limits of her anxiety.

She spun around and elbowed the man behind her.

Perhaps she had been standing for a long time, or perhaps she had been too tensed the entire time. The moment she turned around, a tingling, numb feeling shot up her legs and made her fall forward.

F*ck! What the hell? I shouldn't have turned around. I'd rather fall against the glass window than into his arms!

Artemis grinned and spread his arms to hug the woman who was falling toward him.

When Victoria yelped in surprise earlier, he had felt that the woman was a nuisance for appearing at the wrong time. However, he was inwardly thanking her now.

If not for her sudden cry, he wouldn't have been able to hold a beautiful woman in his arms.

Victoria's eyes widened again. She walked over to the two, and in a quavering voice, she asked, “W-When did the two of you get together? You're even making out in the office!”

Making out your *ss!

Bailey desperately wished she could strangle the other woman.

Can't you see I didn't mean to fall into his arms?

Artemis smiled. A sly glint flashed past his eyes, and he explained, “She stood by the windows too long earlier, so I think her legs fell asleep. That's why she fell into my arms. As her boss, I can't possibly just throw her off. I didn't know it'd lead to a misunderstanding, Ms. Saunders.”

F*ck! Is that his explanation? Can that even be called an explanation? He's just adding fuel to the flames!

Bailey barked out a laugh at the peak of her anger.

Giving up, she simply put all of her weight on him.

Simultaneously, she pinched his flesh with her hands that had been resting by his waist.
