Tossing Him Aside I heard As leaving the room.


    Then I heard voices outside the door, the door closing, and someone walking back in.


    “Don’t you feel suffocated? As’s voice sounded again, I slowly lifted the corner of the nket to find


    him looking down at me from above, his smile radiant.


    He looked handsome in a different way.


    Is this still the calm and reserved As I knew? He pulled me and the nket toward him, holding me in


    his arms.


    I felt my heart racing.


    “Hey… what are you doing?” I struggled to breathe with him so close and his handsome faceing


    closer.


    Suddenly, I remembered the wild and passionate kiss we shared on the riverbankst night.


    It was utterly embarrassing.


    People could be reckless when drunk.


    His stare was intense.


    “You’re overthinking.


    Rx! I’d never take advantage of an unconscious person.


    I helped you out of your clothes and showered you.


    You were too stinky after vomiting.” My head spun from embarrassment.


    What did I dost night? Was I the one who had been stuttering? And he was the one I poured my


    heart out to? “Well… maybe I should put my clothes back on!” I babbled, struggling in his arms.


    He tightened his grip on me and said, “You’re ungrateful.


    How could you toss me aside after everything did for you?” “No one would toss someone as handsome


    as you,” I blurted, almost biting my tongue off as the words left my mouth.


    He chuckled arrogantly, stating, “That’s not entirely inurate.” Still, he was quite the gentleman.


    He let go of me, picked up his clothes, and left the room.


    I quickly wriggled out of bed, shivering slightly as I dressed.


    I examined myself carefully, making sure nothing was out of ce.


    grabbed my bag, left the bedroom, and thought about running away.


    He expected that.


    As swiftly caught me and pulled me back.


    He was so forceful that I crashed into his chest, banging my head against I felt dizzy for a moment is


    117 Hey! Keep your hands to yourself protested, struggling against his hold.


    +15 BONUS “I spent the night drinking with you, sleeping with you, and caring for you.


    Shouldn’t you reward me a little? “He smirked with a hint of yfulness.


    I pressed my hands against his chest, ring at him.


    “W–What reward? Don’t push your luck!” His deep gaze met mine like a pitch–ck abyss, almost


    maically capturing my gaze.


    He kissed me again, unrelentingly.


    I suspected I was under some sort of spell.


    After a while, he released me.


    “Stay clear–headed.


    I’ll help you.” I looked at him in bewilderment.


    He kissed me again, but it was brief this time.


    I turned around, opened the door, and ran out before he could say anything.


    It all felt like a dream.


    I felt confused by all these circumstances and feelings.


    Was I doing this out of revenge? I couldn’t deny the sense of intoxication and excitement I felt.


    I rushed downstairs, hailed a taxi, and headed straight to the office.


    Even sitting at my desk, I couldn’tpletely calm my heart.


    My emotions were confusing.


    I took a few deep breaths to remind myself not to lose sight of things.


    This was not the end of my battle.


    I needed to keep working hard.


    I needed to provide a bright future for my daughter.
