“Thanks,” said Xante with a smile. She then lifted his chin and looked into his eyes flirtatiously. “From the way you
blushed so quickly, I’m guessing you’re a virgin. I must say, that’s kind of adorable.”
Sunny’s ears were red-hot by then. He quickly pushed her hand away. “What… What are you doing?”
Xante smiled and took her gold-rimmed glasses from his hand. She then popped her glasses back on and sat up on
the sofa. “What’s the matter, Mister Sunny? Have I guessed wrong? Why are you blushing like that if you’re not a
virgin?”
The color on Sunny’s face alternated between turning dark in anger, and red out of embarrassment. “As a girl, you
shouldn’t speak so wantonly about things like this! You should be embarrassed of yourself!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtXante chuckled softly. “Why should I be embarrassed? It’s not like I haven’t done it before. There’s nothing to be
embarrassed about. Now, get lost before I eat you up. Hahaha!”
Sunny stared at Xante in disbelief. He never met a woman who was so good at the seduction game. She seemed to
be easy yet unapproachable at the same time.
After what seemed like ages, Sunny finally blurted, “You’re just a female version of a dirtbag!”
Xante burst out in laughter. “Hahaha! This is the first time a guy has ever called me that. Not bad—not bad at all.”
Sunny was speechless. ‘I’ve gotta hand it to her. She’s not only a dirtbag but shameless as well!’
Knock! Knock!
Someone knocked on the door.
Both Xante and Sunny looked toward the door and saw a man opening the door a crack. “May I go in?” he asked
politely.
Sunny immediately recognized the man. He quickly went over and swung the door wide open. “Jason, what are you
doing here?” he asked with surprise.
Jason sported his typical gentlemanly smile on his handsome face. “I heard both Miss Pamela and Corinne are in the
hospital, so I came to visit them. How about you, Sunny? How come you’re here, too? Where’s Lucas?”
“Umm… Lucas asked me to come take care of Corinne. He hurt his foot, so he couldn’t make it here himself,”
Sunny answered awkwardly.
“I see,” said Jason simply with a smile.
He gingerly made his way over to Corinne’s bed. To his disappointment, she was still fast asleep. He then realized
there was another person in the room, so he turned his head to look at Xante.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe two of them knew each other since they worked together before, but that was as far as their relationship went.
Xante pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses, and they both exchanged nods as a way of greeting.
Jason stood waiting beside Corinne’s bed for a while, but she showed no signs of waking up.
“Looks like I came at the wrong time. She doesn’t look like she’s going to wake up anytime soon.”
Xante got up and walked over to them. “Yeah. She needs all the rest she could get. I’ll tell her you came to visit
after she wakes up so I won’t keep you now.”
Jason smiled mysteriously. “I never expected you and Corinne to know each other so well.”
“Yeah. We go way back,” Xante replied with a tepid smile.
Jason narrowed his eyes before saying tactfully, “I see. If that’s the case, I’ll leave for now and come some other
time.”
Xante nodded. “Goodbye, Mister Jason.”
