Aveline hurriedly said to Sidney, "You should go back to work. You really don't need to worry about me."

Seeing her discomfort, Sidney nodded. "Alright, if you need anything, you can contact me."

Aveline thought, "Not talking to me right now is exactly what I need!"

Under Lucas' cold stare, Sidney turned and left.

Aveline looked at Lucas. "Aren't we going home?"

Lucas's icy gaze fell on her, sending an involuntary shiver through her.

He turned and walked away, and she quickly followed.

The night breeze blew away any remaining traces of her intoxication.

Aaron entered the restroom with a grim expression, looking down at the stain on his pants before turning to face Selena, who had followed him in.

Selena wore an apologetic expression and bent down. I'll clean it up for you."

The spilled drink had spread a large stain across Aaron's thigh, especially noticeable against his white pants.

However, her attempts to clean it only made the stain worse.

Aaron's face grew increasingly dark.

Along with it came an odd sensation.

She was crouched right in front of him.

Even through the fabric, he could feel the softness of her small hands.

She was intently focused on the spot on his thigh.

Aaron's breathing grew heavier, his anger gradually transforming into something else.

Selena looked up at him, her expression troubled as she said, "Mr. Fletcher, this won't come clean. How about I buy you a new pair of pants?" Ugh...

Spending money on this jerk was painful!

The restroom lighting wasn't very bright, and she was close to him, her beautiful face with long eyelashes that fluttered like butterfly wings, her pale face, and eyes with a hint of moisture, making her look pitiful.

Aaron cursed under his breath. How could he be thinking of something else at a time like this?

"Stand up," he said hoarsely.

Selena stood up, clutching the napkin in her small hand, looking at him with apprehension.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Aaron's Adam's apple bobbed as his relaxed demeanor vanished.

"You really didn't do it on purpose?" Aaron's gaze was dark as he stared at her.

Selena raised her hand. "I swear, I absolutely didn't do it on purpose. If I did, then... then may you won't find a wife forever."

Aaron was speechless.

He couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.

He pointed at her. "Selena, I'm only letting this slide because you saved my life before. Otherwise, I would have dealt with that mouth of yours a long time ago!"

Selena immediately covered her mouth. "Fine, I'll stop talking, okay?"

Her voice was muffled, and her bright, beautiful face looked even more innocent and pitiful.

Aaron suddenly found his anger dissipating.

But the fact remained that his pants were ruined!

With a stern face, he said, "You're paying for the pants!"

Selena nodded quickly/ "Fine, fine."

Replacing a pair of pants was something she could accept.

Her gaze fell on his pants again, but her eyes were drawn to something else first. She widened her eyes in shock.

"You..."

Aaron's face darkened.

Selena pointed at him, "You're... you're such a pervert!"

Aaron's face was stormy as he said, "I'm a normal man, understand?"

Selena backed away several steps, hugging herself. "You, you... it doesn't matter what you say, you're still a pervert!"

With that, she tried to run!

Instinctively, Aaron reached out and grabbed her, pulling her into his arms.
