A Touch of Sweetness
Chapter 3226

Chapter 3226 Bantering Duo

She was, unquestionably, dominated by her low esteem and fear. She worried that Herman would fall out of love with her.

Yet, even after everything she did, all she got in return was that hopeless night in the hotel. Even recalling that past made her want to slap herself.

Megan shifted her gaze downward. She didn’t want to face what was happening at that moment. At first, she thought that she had slipped out of the cruel hands of fate, but she was wrong. She had been circling around that same road all this while.

The only difference was that she knew Jake before she slept with him that time, and that was how she learned the true owner of room 312.

The same man slept with her twice, and that got her to feel confused

How did I end up on his bed after I helped down a few drinks for my friends? Megan thought that the man standing in front of her must be involved in it somehow. Most likely, he bumped into me while I was running away, so he took advantage of the situation and brought me to his room. Those thoughts got Megan to feel lucky. If something like that had happened before she knew him, he would not believe her when she said that she was Megan.

Under those circumstances, it would be even more difficult to keep Mia down

“What are you talking about when you said that it is not a coincidence?” asked Jake. He couldn't make heads or tails of what she was saying and had been silently monitoring her expression from the side. He could tell that her mind was clearing up.

She looks like she had just figured out something crucial

“No, it's nothing,” replied Megan. She wasn't going to share what she was thinking because she had already regained her cognitive ability and had calmed down.

Ignoring Jake's interrogating gaze, Megan got out of the bed and picked up the clothes on the floor to put them on.

I feel like you're hiding something from me.”

Jake buttoned up and put his tie back on. The grey suit highlighted his tall figure, and Megan's heart skipped a beat when she turned around and looked at him. They both wore grey suits, but they inspire different emotions. Jake is too proud and distant.

Megan stopped comparing both men soon after and got in her wrinkled dress. She was heading to the washroom to freshen up a little. Unfortunately, Jake wasn't going to let her go until she answered his question.

He grabbed Megan's arm and pulled her into his embrace to do that.

“You haven't answered my question.”

The sudden move stunned Megan temporarily. She was quick to calm herself back down and regain her footing, though. It only took an instant for her eyes to turn as clear as the cloudless sky.

“We're not that close, so I don't think there is a need for me to tell you.”

Megan didn't even know how she suddenly became so brave. She had always been respectful and careful with Jake, but at that moment, she was practically stepping on the tiger's tail on purpose. That being said, her voice carried no power when she said those words, and she didn't even dare to look him in the eye.

"We're not that close, huh?” replied Jake with his brows raised. He seemed surprisingly calm and showed no signs of losing his temper anytime soon.

He tilted his head up a little as he caressed her waist with his free hand. The soft touch stunned Megan and caused goosebumps all over her body once more.

“Stop it.”

Megan's words were meant as a demand, but she sounded like she was begging instead. There was no way Jake would let her go, though. He pinched her chin and lifted her head up. Their faces were close to one another, and his breath was brushing against her cheek. That made her nervous. “What's wrong? You were a lot more passionate last night,” teased Jake in his deep, sexy voice. Megan felt like she was drugged once more, and she was blushing a lot. She had her head down because she simply didn't have the courage to look at him.

Jake was obviously trying to make her feel bad by talking about what happened the previous night. No, I can't let him win!

Megan gritted her teeth and pushed him away mercilessly before she stroked her chest and panted. She ran to the door immediately after.

Jake knew that she would run for the door, so he took a few quick steps and blocked her path. He would not let her leave.

Megan was downright infuriated by then. She tilted her head up and glared at the man in front of her. She demanded in an upset tone, “What do you want now? You've f*cked me and refused to pay me, so what else can you do to me? Sell me off to Alendor?”
