Chapter 552 Almost Made a Mistake
Harmony lifted her shirt, revealing her flat, sexy stomach, looking incredibly tempting.
James was startled by her sudden action!
Moreover, Harmony lifted her shirt so quickly that it went up to her chest, exposing half of her bra. When James looked up, he saw this scene and even caught a glimpse of her deep cleavage, which made his breathing quicken!
After having sex with Jennifer, his resistance to women had significantly weakened. Now, seeing Harmony's beautiful body, his desire was immediately ignited!
Additionally, Harmony's underwear was higher than her pants, and when she lifted her shirt, some of her lace underwear was visible, which was a deadly temptation for James!
Fortunately, James wasn't someone who thought with ill-intention. After a brief moment of shock, he turned his head and scolded, "What are you doing? Lifting your shirt without warning, don't piss off me."
Harmony's face was quite flushed. Though she had a capricious nature, she remained inherently reserved; otherwise, she wouldn't have maintained her virginity all these years.
She only acted this open in front of James. With other men, it would be hard for them to even touch a finger of hers, let alone see her body.
She nervously glanced at the door, afraid that Jennifer might walk in and see this scene.
Although she had Jennifer's tacit approval to interact more with James, she would still feel very embarrassed if Jennifer actually saw it. After all, she wasn't that open-minded deep down and still had a sense of shame.
But it was precisely this nervousness and fear that made her feel even more excited, with all her cells coming alive and her heart beating faster.
James was the same feeling. He knew Harmony's intentions towards him and that she had Jennifer's approval. If something really happened between them, Jennifer probably wouldn't mind.
But he couldn't get past his own conscience, feeling it would be too unfair to Jennifer. Besides, he didn't have genuine feelings for Harmony.
"Do I still need to be modest in front of you? You've seen my whole body. Last time in M City, you even kissed me there," Harmony said, her face blushing.
James groaned, patting his forehead, "How many times do I have to tell you? I was treating you. At that time, I was just a doctor without any inappropriate thoughts."
Harmony quickly added, "I'm a patient now, too. As a doctor, what's wrong with you rubbing my stomach? Do you have evil thoughts?"
James was at a loss.
"Come on, Dr. Smith, help me rub my stomach. It hurts so much." Harmony grabbed James's hand and pressed it against her stomach.
Caught off guard, James's hand really ended up on Harmony's lower abdomen, feeling her smooth skin. It was just as good as Jennifer's, and he almost touched Harmony's underwear.
This feeling made James's breathing quicken.
Although he didn't have romantic feelings for Harmony, she was indeed a very beautiful woman. James was a normal man. It was impossible for him to have no male instincts at all. The difference was that he could control himself.
So he quickly pulled his hand back as if he had been shocked and glared, "What are you doing?"
Harmony's breathing also quickened after being touched by his big hand, her heart beating even faster, and her face turning even redder.
The atmosphere was really awkward.
Just then, footsteps were heard at the door, seemingly Jennifer's, making them extremely nervous. Harmony quickly put her shirt down and didn't dare to breathe.
They exchanged glances, seeing the tension and excitement in each other's eyes.
Fortunately, Jennifer just passed by the door without coming in. Hearing the footsteps fade away, both Harmony and James breathed a sigh of relief.
James glared at Harmony, saying, "This is all your fault."
Harmony made a pitiful face, touching her stomach with a pained expression, "James, my stomach really hurts."
James could see that Harmony's stomach was indeed uncomfortable. It was clear she hadn't been resting well lately, not only having stomach issues but also mild anemia, with irregular periods.
In other words, Harmony had been neglecting her health, leading to suboptimal health. It wasn't a serious illness, but it was genuinely uncomfortable when it flared up.
James said, "This is due to long-term late nights and irregular eating habits, leading to suboptimal health. Some medication will help. Rubbing your stomach won't do much. At most, I can give you a few acupuncture needles, and you'll feel better."
Harmony knew this well; she just wanted an excuse for James to rub her stomach.
James had been back for so long, and she hadn't made any progress with him, while Jennifer had already taken their relationship to the next level. How could she not be anxious?
As a longtime friend, Harmony could tell from Jennifer's demeanor today that Jennifer had become a real woman, making her extremely envious.
"But Jennifer always helps me this way. Besides, rubbing my stomach won't kill you. Why are you so stingy? Others would jump at the chance!" Harmony pouted.
Indeed, she had countless suitors, and if she casually mentioned it, many would be willing to rub her stomach as a huge privilege!
However, James was actually rejecting it!
Other men would definitely hate James if they heard this.
James wanted to rub it, too, but he knew he couldn't. Once he did, his relationship with Harmony would become even more complicated.
"Who says a stomach ache needs rubbing?" James rolled his eyes and took out some acupuncture needles, saying, "Lie down, and I'll give you a few needles. Guaranteed to cure you."
Harmony shook her head, "No, I want you to rub my stomach."
She, a very beautiful woman with a genuine high-cold CEO aura, was acting like a little girl, which was extremely impactful.
Especially since she was shaking James's arm, almost making him make a mistake.
James said with difficulty, "Lie down now!"
