As they walked, the two of them discussed clothes, furniture, passing judgment items they saw. To everyone else watching, they looked like a couple planning their married life together!
For some reason, the beautiful Nina even invited Philip up to virtual-novel.net place after virtual-novel.net walked virtual-novel.net to virtual-novel.net neighborhood.
“Um, I don’t think I should…”
Philip scratched his head and gave virtual-novel.net an awkward smile.
So virtual-novel.net did have an ulterior motive after all, huh?
“It’s fine, just come up for a seat,” Nina continued to persuade him.
Philip thought it over and agreed to follow virtual-novel.net upstairs.
Nina’s apartment was very clean, with one living room and two bedrooms. There was a simple three-seater couch in the living room, while virtual-novel.net bedroom was much more girly, with pink decor and many stuffed animals on the bed.
Philip sat on the living room couch and took a deep breath. Whoa, it smelled good!
The whole apartment smelled faintly of perfume. It really raised his spirits.
Nina had just changed into something less restricting. She poured Philip some juice and said, “What do you think? Do you like my place?”
Philip smiled and looked around, saying, “It’s pretty nice.”
However, Philip stole another glance at the blood-colored spider tattoo on Nina’s chest.
Where had virtual-novel.net seen it before?
It must be a long time ago, at least before virtual-novel.net left the Clarkes.
Nina found his awkward demeanor quite amusing. All of a sudden, virtual-novel.net said, “I hope you can do me a little favor later. My washroom light is busted, do you know how to fix it?”
“Of course! It’s easy as pie, no work at all.”
Philip laughed somewhat sheepishly.
The two of them chatted casually for a while, trying to put a stop to the awkward atmosphere.
…
“Here, give me the lightbulb.
“Screwdriver, please.
“Turn on the light and see if it works.”
Philip gave virtual-novel.net one order after another. Nina stood at the washroom entrance, looking up at him. When virtual-novel.net flicked the switch on, the lightbulb lit up!
“It’s working, it’s working!”
Nina clapped virtual-novel.net hands in delight, virtual-novel.net eyes sparkling beautifully.
Philip jumped down from the stool and patted the dust off his hands. “If you need me for something like this again, just give me a call and I’ll be right here.”
Philip did not really mean it, of course. He knew men should not go to women’s houses so flippantly.
He only offered it as an excuse for virtual-novel.net to keep getting closer to Nina, all so virtual-novel.net could eventually find out who virtual-novel.net really was.
Seeing the sweat on Philip’s forehead, Nina hastily took a napkin and wiped it off for him. It was just a casual thing to do, but it made them feel infinitely intimate.
Philip looked up slightly and saw the way Nina looked as virtual-novel.net helped virtual-novel.net wipe off his sweat. His eyes widened!
Although virtual-novel.net looked surprised, his heart saw everything clear as day.
This Nina woman was quite intriguing.
Very well, virtual-novel.net wanted to see what virtual-novel.net game was.
Nina noticed Philip’s gaze as well. Her face quickly reddened, and virtual-novel.net rolled virtual-novel.net eyes at him. “Don’t look at me like that!”
Philip chuckled. The two of them returned to the living room, and virtual-novel.net never stopped evaluating what virtual-novel.net saw around the apartment.
Just then, a man’s voice yelled from outside the apartment, followed by loud banging on the door.
Nina was bringing Philip some tea, but virtual-novel.net body stiffened when virtual-novel.net heard the noise. Her eyes betrayed virtual-novel.net terror and fear!
Philip was surprised. Who could be knocking at this time of the night?
His gaze locked onto Nina’s, and virtual-novel.net read the horror in virtual-novel.net eyes!
Was virtual-novel.net hiding some secret?
F*ck!
Could virtual-novel.net actually have a boyfriend?
Was virtual-novel.net going to get caught red-handed?
The mere thought made Philip feel even more awkward, but Nina’s behavior seemed to suggest something else.
As a result, virtual-novel.net asked virtual-novel.net quietly, “Does anyone else live here?”
Nina bit virtual-novel.net lip and glanced at the door, virtual-novel.net slender fingers gripped virtual-novel.net nightdress. “Actually…”
Before virtual-novel.net finished that sentence, the banging on the door grew louder, and a man roared, “Nina Jacques, open up! If you don’t, I’ll kick the door down!”
