Riches in Disguise

Lynn walked out right behind me after I exited the bathroom. She couldn't help but chuckle at my flustered state. "Mr. White, why are you so shy? I'm not naked."

While she wasn't naked, her towel was so short it barely covered anything. With only her stomach covered, it felt as though she were completely nude.

I stammered, "B-But you..."

She grinned. "What's the matter? I'm more covered than the people swimming at the beach. Didn't you claim to be a man? Why are you freaking out? The women who go to bars dress a lot sexier than I do."

I was completely at a loss for words. How could they even be compared?

After all, we were in the bathroom. Even if she were perfectly dressed, everything would still feel very subjective.

Now that she was only wrapped in a towel, I felt too shy to look at her. Seeing this, Lynn stepped closer and gently cupped my face.

She made me turn and look at her. "Mr. White, thank you for saving me tonight. But I don't have anything to offer in return. If you want me to spend the night with you, just say it. I'll make sure you're satisfied."

Her words caught me off guard. I quickly pushed her hand away. "Don't talk nonsense. I didn't mean it like that. I helped you because you're mine-I mean, you're my employee. So, it's my responsibility to protect you. You don't need to thank me."

She smiled. "Okay. I guess I misunderstood. Anyway, go ahead and use the bathroom. I'm already finished with my shower."

"Okay!" I replied.

With that, I quickly rushed into the bathroom and locked the door. After all, Lynn's openness was just a little too much!

I tried to clear my mind and let the water run. But just as I was about to get in the shower, I spotted two sexy lingerie pieces on a small stool.

I bet any man would be hooked after seeing those! Yet, I was left feeling confused and stunned.

Was Lynn doing this on purpose? Did she want to seduce me?

However, that didn't really make sense to me. After all, we barely had any connection. Before this, she had shown-zero interest in me. There was no way she could have changed so suddenly.

I forced myself to stay composed and gingerly removed her lingerie pieces. Then, I took a cold shower instead of a hot one.

When I woke up the next morning, the sun was already high in the sky. My phone had died overnight. With nothing to do, I opened the door and stepped outside.

Lynn was already awake, feeding her daughter breakfast. Her daughter had her hair in two cute pigtails and wore a green dress. Her big, round eyes made her look absolutely adorable.noveldrama

I asked, "Lynn, do you have a phone charger? My phone's dead."

"Yeah. I'll grab it for you," she replied.

Once my phone was charged and turned on, I saw a bunch of missed calls from Matthew, Benjamin, and Quintus. Meanwhile, some files were also sent over by the game company.

After reviewing the files, I sent them back. Then, I called Matthew to let him know that everything was fine. Finally, I reached out to Quintus and told him to take another day off to rest.

After taking care of all those matters, I prepared to return to campus.

But Lynn stopped me. "Mr. White, you'd better not return to campus for the next few days."

"Why not?" I asked.

"Because of Mr. Donovan! He's probably out there hunting you down for revenge," Lynn explained.

"If I were scared of him, I wouldn't have done what I did last night," I replied.

Lynn shook her head hard. "It's not about whether you're scared or not. Mr. Donovan has a harsh way of handling things. You clearly have no idea. That's why you'd dare say something like that.

"To put it simply, Mr. Donovan is vengeful and completely unhinged. You wounded him, and that's not something he will forget easily. He might even go as far as to cripple you!"
