Chapter 14 A Chance Encounter
"Looks like no one's here. Let's go!"
In the cramped space, tension hung thick in the air. As the footsteps outside faded, Ashley was the first to snap back to reality. She pushed against his chest with both hands.
To him, it felt like a tickle, only fueling his desire. Under his passionate kiss, Ashley's consciousness began to slip. She remembered that night and, without realizing it, wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back.
Her response made him even more reckless...
Someone walked into the restroom and heard the commotion from the stall. "Damn, doing it in the restroom? Can't you take it to a bed?" they muttered before slamming the door and leaving.
The two, caught in their passion, suddenly snapped back to reality!
Ashley let out a startled cry, pushed Ethan away, and fell to the ground.
Her clothes were half-torn, exposing her skin, covered in his kiss marks, and her lips were swollen.
Ethan, pushed away, was stunned. Clearly, he had lost his mind earlier. Recalling that he had initiated it, he was even more confused.
Suppressing the heat within him, Ethan stiffly reached out to help her up.
Ashley, eyes red with anger, pounded his chest and shouted, "Pervert, how could you do this! Are you crazy?"
Ethan said, "I'm sorry, I..."
Ashley said, "I'm so unlucky, running into you everywhere. I'll just pretend nothing had happened. Don't let me see you again."
Ashley's anger also infuriated Ethan.
For the first time, the high-and-mighty Ethan was humuliated by a woman, wounding his pride!
Though he felt guilty and remorseful inside, his words were hurtful. "Weren't you enjoying it just now? I remember clearly, you were more excited than me, practically riding on top of me!"
"You!"
Ashley blushed with shame, not understanding why she had acted that way.
Ethan sneered, "You're just like those other women, always finding ways to 'accidentally' run into me, taking advantage while playing innocent!"
Ashley was nearly livid. "Are you crazy? Why would I deliberately run into a gigolo? You're not some billionaire bachelor!"
In his anger, he forgot that this woman mistook him for a gigolo.
Ethan angrily said, "You're clearly attracted to me, and you've been trying to get my attention!"
Ashley laughed in anger. "If I like you, may I never find the seasoning packet in my instant noodles! And you better not like me, because we have no future!"
Ethan retorted, "If I like you, may I only find the seasoning packet in my instant noodles!"
"Hmph!"
"Hmph!"
They both snorted coldly, glaring at each other with disdain!
Finally, Ethan was the first to leave, and Ashley angrily went to pay the bill.
Ethan returned to the private room, and Diannel glanced at him, surprised. "Mr. Yates, what happened to your mouth?"
Ethan touched his lips with his fingers, his head throbbing. "Got bitten by a crazy woman."
Ashley returned home, rushed into the bathroom to wash up, and only after scrubbing off his scent did she collapse onto the bed, exhausted. However, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep...
Ashley was extremely frustrated. "So annoying! Why can't I stop thinking about that gigolo, argh—"
Ethan was in a meeting, but he couldn't focus on a single word being said. His mind was elsewhere, and every time he thought of the passionate kiss, he couldn't help but...
"Mr. Yates, what do you think about the issue we just discussed?"
"Huh?" Ethan snapped back to reality, not answering the question. Instead, he said, "Diannel, have someone fill my bathtub with cold water."
'Huh?'
'Why did he suddenly want a cold bath? Is it getting hot lately?'
