NovelEnglish“I'm kissing my girlfriend.” James quickly slid into his role. “This is not a crime, is it?” Sophia feigned shyness as she said, “We're not kissing here! Wait until we're home!” He grinned. “All right, all right. I'll listen to you for now. I've prepared a candlelight dinner for tonight, so we can enjoy a romantic night later.” She could only blush coquettishly at his words. Even though she wouldn't even dare look at Arthur's face, she could feel his eyes glued on her.
Arthur saw everything when James went straight for Sophia's lingerie in the closet and kept them in the suitcase.
At last, Sophia zipped her suitcase and lifted it from the ground. She passed her luggage to James, who naturally took it from her.
Then, she walked toward Arthur, who was waiting at the door and mustered the courage to look into his eyes which seemed to have a deep meaning beneath. “Mr. Weiss, I've decided to live with my boyfriend. Thank you for your hospitality.” Arthur grabbed her wrist without giving her the opportunity to resist. “Come with me for a sec.” “Hey! Mr. Weiss! Let go of me!” However, he didn’t spare her any time to struggle out of his grip as he led her toward his study room.

“You! Let go of my girlfriend!” James shouted from behind, but Sophia was already being pulled into the study room by Arthur and the door shut with a loud thud.
Sophia could only feel Arthur being oppressive before he pinned her against the door. His fresh scent enveloped her as he leaned forward to question her with a cold tone. “You dare to flirt with me when you're already dating someone?” Raising her head, she saw his stony face and ice-cold eyes.
She insisted, “I'm sorry, b-but I never flirted with you.” “Never? You didn’t stop me when | kissed you in the hotel that day. Can't you remember?” If that was the case, Arthur would help Sophia to recall that day’s events.
Her cheeks flushed as she nudged him. “Don’t do this. My boyfriend's not far away.” Arthur pressed her harder on the door. “Does he know we kissed? Does he know you melted in my embrace like a good girl that day?” Sophia was short of breath at their proximity. Her face was turning crimson. What does he want? “I'll be frank to him. We only kissed, after all. He'll forgive me.” She turned her head away from him.
“When did you find yourself a boyfriend?” Arthur was confused as he had initiated an investigation on her. The man who showed up today was not in the findings.
“He returned to the country last week. He's really my boyfriend,” Sophia explained promptly to make him believe her.
“You've been sleeping with each other?” His eyes turned cold when he asked as if he was ripping off his disguise and revealing his cruel inner self.
His expression was a heart-wrenching view for her. However, she had no choice but to lie to him. Shutting her eyes, and in the most solemn tone she could manage, she said, “We had done everything we should as a couple two years ago.” Her statement was even solid with a precise time. Nobody would ever have any more doubt about their relationship.

Arthur was dumbfounded by her calm statement. Sophia could sense his disdain as he took a step back, indicating that she succeeded in her plan. Martha once told her that he would never be close to someone who gained his hatred ever again.
“I'm sorry,” she apologized quickly before she walked out of the study room.
Downstairs in the living room, James was admiring the art pieces here. Seeing Sophia coming down, he asked in concern, “Are you okay?” “I'm fine. Let’s go.” All Sophia wanted to do was run away from here because Arthur's look was causing her heart to ache.
Just then, James saw Arthur walking down the stairs. He immediately returned to his role as he held Sophia close and warned the other man, “Please stay away from my girlfriend from now on. | want you to keep your distance from her.” Sophia's eyes widened at him as she only hoped to leave right now.
However, Arthur sneered. “Say, did she ever tell you that she and | shared a room before? And did she tell you that we kissed when she was wearing only a bathrobe?”
