782 Mr. Yummylicious (2/2)
He tucked his hands inside the pockets of his pants. ”So what do you suggest that I do, Miss Long? The storm looks like it'll last until morning.”
She looked away and cleared her throat before speaking. ”I have an extra bedroom. You can stay here for the night.”
”Heh~ Did I hear you correctly? Is Miss Long inviting me to sleep over and stay with you tonight?”
Her head snapped back and she glared at him. ”Don't say such misleading words, Mr. Lu!”
Another demonic chuckle from him teased her insides and spread the heat on her face and neck even further. She pretended to act annoyed and angry by huffing at him. But in truth, excitement fluttered in her stomach at how daring she was acting by inviting Mr. Yummy—cough cough—stop corrupting her maiden mind, Dom and Meimei!
Suddenly, the teasing glint in his eyes turned into something more intense that she couldn't identify.
”Miss Long, are you sure you want to invite someone like me inside your home?” he asked in a serious tone.
She swallowed but still nodded.
”Last chance, Miss Long. Are you sure?”
”Y-yes.”
His voice dropped in volume until it was almost a whisper. ”Alright. I'll stay here tonight.”
Her now amoeba-level brain once again blanked out for a few seconds. Fortunately, another loud thunder cracked outside and roused her from the hunk-induced stupidity. After she regained her senses, her face heated again upon realizing that he was looking at her with amusement.
So embarrassing!
This was what she got for being caught unawares in the middle of the night! If she had been in a public setting during daylight, or better yet, in a business setting, she would've acted more like an independent career woman in front of him instead of a wide-eyed teenage girl like how she was acting right now.
”F-follow me. I'll show you the guest bedroom.” She didn't wait for his reply and walked ahead instead.
When she didn't hear anything behind her, she thought that he hadn't followed her. She turned around to call for him but bumped into a big and wide chest instead. He caught her before she fell backwards from the impact.
”Careful,” he said.
”Oh!” She grabbed on his arms to steady herself. ”Why are you so silent? I didn't know that you were directly behind me.”
He didn't reply to what she said but instead asked her, ”Are you hurt?”
”No, I'm fine. Thanks.”
He released her when she looked steady enough on her feet.
She opened a door and showed him inside. ”This is the guest bedroom.”
