Chapter 537 Getting More and More Outrageous
"Thanks." Ambrosia smirked, lifting Sunny's chin with a playful touch. "So this is the famous little virgin! Blushing at the drop of a hat, how adorable!"
Sunny's ears went bright red as she lifted his chin. He swatted her hand away like she'd just turned into a ghost. "What... what are you doing!"
Ambrosia chuckled, grabbed her gold-rimmed glasses from his hand, put them on, and sat up straight. "Did I say something wrong? If Mr. Mitchell isn't a little virgin, then why are you blushing?"
Sunny's face turned a mix of black and red, looking both embarrassed and ashamed. "...You're a girl. How can you say such things without any shame!"
Ambrosia laughed softly. "What haven't I experienced? What's there to be ashamed of? I don't even know what's worth being embarrassed about anymore! If you don't want me to tease you, stay away from me!"
Sunny frowned deeply, staring in disbelief, speechless.
He had never met a woman like this, seemingly casual yet hard to approach.
After a long pause, Sunny finally blurted out, "You're a bit much!"
Ambrosia burst into laughter again. "First time a man has described me like that, it's kind of interesting!"
Sunny fell silent.
Not only was she a bit much, but also shameless and thick-skinned!
This woman!
'Knock, knock!' Ambrosia and Sunny both looked over almost simultaneously, seeing a man slightly push the door open and politely ask, "May I come in?"
Sunny immediately recognized the man, a bit surprised, and walked over to open the door for him. "Jonathan, what brings you here?"
Jonathan's charming face wore a gentle smile, maintaining his usual polite demeanor. "I heard about what happened these past few days and came to the hospital to visit Sandra. I thought I'd also check on Katherine. Sunny, why are you here, and where's Bernard?"
Sunny felt a bit awkward. "Bernard asked me to look after Katherine. He hurt his foot and couldn't come."
Jonathan smiled slightly. "I see."
He walked in slowly, noticing the little figure on the bed was asleep, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
Then he realized there was someone else in the room and turned to look at Ambrosia.
Ambrosia knew Jonathan from a fewcollaborated with the Mostow Group , but they weren't close.
Ambrosia adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses and nodded at Jonathan as a greeting.
Jonathan stood by the bed for a while, seeing no sign of the person waking up. "Looks like I picked a bad time. She'll be asleep for a while, won't she?"
Ambrosia got up and walked over. "Yes, she's fine, just sleeping. I'll let her know Mr. Mostow came by when she wakes up. No need to stay."
Jonathan's smile carried a hint of meaning. "I didn't expect Ms. Hawthorne to know Katherine, and you seem quite familiar?"
Ambrosia gave a lukewarm smile. "We've been friends for years."
Jonathan squinted thoughtfully, then sensibly said, "I see! I'll leave for now and come back another time."
Ambrosia nodded. "Take care, Mr. Mostow."
"Jonathan, let me walk you out!" Sunny followed Jonathan out, seemingly having something to say.
After Jonathan and Sunny bounced, Ambrosia's eyes drifted back to Katherine on the bed. She asked softly, "Katherine, you really don't wanna see that guy?"
Katherine opened her eyes calmly. "Yeah, that dude is super annoying."
A glint flashed across Ambrosia's gold-rimmed glasses. "He seems to have a thing for you."
Katherine, looking neither surprised nor thrilled, sat up, appearing totally over it. "He’s got bad intentions."
Ambrosia raised an eyebrow. "Liking you means he’s got bad intentions?"
Katherine scoffed lightly. "Even if a regular guy really likes someone, they wouldn’t hit on a married woman. Plus, that dude’s been tight with Alex for years. Someone with no sense of boundaries, you think he’s got good intentions?"
Ambrosia nodded in agreement.
Men often have indescribable, vulgar tastes.
Just then, Teresa walked in, head down, looking super bummed as she plopped onto the sofa without a word.
Katherine immediately sensed something was off and frowned. "What’s up?"
Teresa shook her head, her voice tinged with suppressed sobs. "Nothing... Katherine, you hungry? Want me to grab you something to eat?"
Katherine heard the sob in Teresa's voice, her frown deepening. "What’s going on? Did that jerk Frank mess with you?"
At the mention of Frank's name, Teresa's shoulders stiffened, then she shook her head. "No, Mr. Perez didn’t mess with me. He and his girlfriend left to crash at the hotel."
Katherine fell silent.
Ambrosia looked at Teresa, then at Katherine.
Both knew it wasn’t that simple; Teresa's vibe clearly showed something had gone down!
"'Nothing'? my foot!" Fiona stormed in, looking furious and indignant. "Teresa, aren’t you usually pretty tough? How could you let some guy get to you? You’re really letting us girls down! You’re making me so mad!"
Fiona had initially stayed in Sandra's room for a bit, then went to get hot water. She happened to see Teresa crying in the hallway, walked over, and overheard Teresa on the phone.
She had good hearing, and the hallway was quiet, with few people. Even without the speaker on, she heard the despicable things Frank said.
Katherine immediately knew Fiona was in the loop and asked, "Spill it, what exactly happened?"
Fiona was fuming. "That Mr. Perez called Teresa and said... I can’t even bring myself to say it! How can there be such shameless men in this world!"
Katherine frowned. "What did he say? Tell me!"
Fiona blushed with anger. "He said he couldn’t get used to the hotel’s condoms and asked Teresa to buy a specific brand and bring it to him."
Katherine's eyes darkened, and she gritted her teeth. "Really? What brand did he want? Tell me, I’ll bring it to him!"
With that, Katherine was about to get out of bed to confront Frank!
Ambrosia, seeing Katherine's rage, quickly tried to calm her down. "Katherine, chill. I’ll give him a piece of my mind later."
Katherine said, "Frank’s getting more and more out of line! Have I been too soft on him all these years!"
