Anger and humiliation surged within her, making her feel utterly miserable. She didn't want him to touch her at all.

His hot breath brushed against her neck, turning her delicate skin a faint shade of pink, making her even more alluring.

Aveline felt a bit awkward. "Mr. Skyler, please don't say that. This is just compensation."

Russell responded, "Alright, whatever you say."

Aveline kept quiet.

Russell continued, "Tomorrow is Saturday. Are you off?"

Aveline replied, "Yes, let's do it tomorrow. Tell me your clothing size."
