“Mr. Fuller, I didn’t know you were into young married ladies!” she joked.

Then she turned to look at me. “Scarlett, we should get going. If Nora and the others know about you and Mr. Fuller, Mr. Murphy is bound to find out. We wouldn’t want that to happen, would we!”

I felt uncomfortable at her words, and I stared at her with a frown. “Do you always speak so recklessly?”

“Y-You…” This seemed to piss her off, though she appeared to hold back her temper to save face.

I was planning to leave anyway, and I tried to pry Ashton’s arm from my waist. “It’s late. I should get going!”

Instead of loosening his arms, he tightened his hold on me with a scowl on his face. “Mr. Murphy?”

We were in a nightclub after all. Tessa’s words also did nothing to help my predicament. I could feel everyone’s stares boring into me.

I felt uneasy about the whole situation. I don’t want people to think of me as some married whore who goes around seducing other men! That’s just sick!

Suddenly I blurted in a fit of anger, “Ashton, what the heck do you want?”

I guess my voice had been louder than I’d expected. Even those who’d just been glancing at us from time to time were full-on staring at our exchange now.

Using all my strength, I tried to get up despite his unyielding hold. At most, I’ll just fall while trying.
