NovelEnglish| Chapter 184 This was the second the had caughtin an awkward moment! The first twas when I saw Brandon half-naked and wrapped only in a towel; this time, he overheardthirsting over him.
I couldn't help but suspect that he did this on purpose, because why did he only open the door now when I had knocked for so long? At that critical moment, the only way to get out of this awkwardness was to act drunk. That way, I could then conveniently say I had no recollection of it and save myself from embarrassment.
