Staring at the moved photo frame and his now "soiled" bedsheets.
Shanley''s fury ignited.
He didn''t approach the bed. Instead, he spun around, stormed out to the doorway, and shouted toward the assistants'' office, "Felton! Flint!"
"Boss!"
Felton and Flint were startled out of their wits, practically stumbling out of their office. "What happened?"
"Where did the stray woman in my roome from?"
Shanley tugged at his tie in frustration, feeling as if the air in the room had been
contaminated, making it hard to breathe. "Throw her and everything she touched out of the building."
Stray woman?
Security on the top floor was always airtight. How could a stray woman sneak in?
Unless... she climbed up the window?
But then again.
This building was dozens of stories high. Unless she was Spider-Man.
Curious, the two men tiptoed and peeked inside. Sure enough, there was a visible lump under the nket.
Damn!
There really was a stray woman!
"Boss, I''ll take care of it right now." Flint snapped back to reality, marching aggressively into the suite.
What the hell?
Did she not know their boss was taken?
And she still dared to throw herself at him?
What a death wish!
He wanted to see exactly who had such guts.
Felton scratched his head, stepping back to the doorway to call building maintenance.
Toe haul the furniture out.
"Stomp, stomp, stomp—"
Flint marched furiously inside, his heavy footsteps echoing across the floorboards. "Bang-"
He kicked the bedroom door wide open, stormed up to the bed, and leaned forward, ready to rip the duvet away.
Suddenly, the "stray woman" on the bed rolled over and stared at him with sleepy eyes.
"Ms. Ms. Payne?!" Flint froze instantly, the shock nearly giving him a heart attack. He stammered nervously, "Why is it you?"
"Who else would it be?"
Juniper sat up, brushing her long hair over her shoulder. Her delicate features crumpled in annoyance as she drawled, "Are there other womening into this room?"
"N-No."
Flint was so terrified he bit his tongue, terrified that an idental slip-up might cause a catastrophic. misunderstanding between the two. "I just thought it was..."
"Thought it was who?"
Juniper''s gaze turned frosty as she stared Flint down, her expression so cold it could freeze a man on the
spot Exactly which woman gets
Flint was extremely frightened. He was so dead! Had he really made Ms. Payne misunderstand?
If she got angry, the boss wouldn''t be spared.
And if the boss suffered, their good days were officially over.
"Please wait a moment, I''ll go get the Boss."
Flint didn''t dare say another word. He bolted to the door and called out, "Boss, the person inside is "
"Where is she?"
Seeing Flint return empty-handed,,
fire red in Shanley''s chest. His roar echoed through the top floor. "I told you to throw that stray woman Out! Are t orders a joke to you?"
Having just been red at by Juniper and now getting screamed at by Shanley,
Flint''s heart reached its absolute limit.
Could anyone let this poor, helpless assistant finish a sentence?
"Boss, the person inside is—"
Just as Flint tried again, azy voice drifted from behind him. "Who exactly are you trying to throw out?"
Shanley''s head snapped up. His eyes locked onto Juniper''s face, and the dark storm clouds in his eyes instantly vanished.
"Juniper? Why are you here?"
The "stray woman" in his bed was his Juniper!
Juniper crossed her arms. Raising an eyebrow at his reaction, a half-smile yed
on her lips. "Who else could it possibly be?"
Shanley blinked, momentarily stunned, then shot a look at his assistants standing nearby.
"Got it."
