The Queen's Back

Mona instinctively shook her head, but it was no use. Her head was getting more and more dizzy, and she could not see anything clearly. "Haley," she called out with difficulty. Then, she collapsed, losing consciousness.

Mona and Haley did not notice that after they entered, a sign indicating maintenance was placed in front of the restroom entrance.

After meeting Mona, Brendan casually dealt with a few people at the ball before returning to his room upstairs to rest.

After all, this ball was funded by the Conrads. If he did not fulfill his duty as a host, people would gossip about him.

To make it to this designer's ball, he worked overnight and rushed back from Horieta.

Taking advantage of this moment, Brendan wanted to take a short nap.

As soon as he returned to his room, Brendan instinctively turned on the lights, unbuttoned his suit, and walked into the bedroom. After sitting on the bed, Brendan took off his suit, lifted the blanket, and lay down. Then, he immediately sprang up, feeling surprised. He wondered which person who didn't know the ways of the world wanted to sleep with him again, not giving him a moment to rest.

He lifted all the blankets on the bed with his large hands. As he had expected, it was indeed a woman on the bed.

Wearing a red lace nightgown, her cascading hair draped over her shoulders, covering most of her face and revealing her smooth neck. From his current angle, he could not clearly see the face of the woman on the bed. With just one glance, Brendan averted his gaze and covered the woman on the bed with the blanket.

He was filled with anger, not knowing which clueless person had sent him a woman again, and looking at the situation, she was unconscious.

The moment the blanket was placed over her, Mona felt a little uncomfortable. She snorted softly and instinctively turned over.

With just one sound, Brendan's thoughts were drawn by the person on the bed. His brows were tightly furrowed.

He had a bold guess and thought, 'Could the person on the bed be Mona?'

Brendan's hand tentatively lifted the blanket, and Mona's
