Chapter 52
After drinking the wine, a blush appeared on Nicole’s face.
She excused herself to go to the bathroom. Monica ignored the way Nicole looked at her and happily stepped up to speak with Kenneth and Heidi.
Nicolle walked quickly, keeping her head down all the way to the restroom. In fact, she was so distracted that she didn’t even notice that the restrooms were gender- specific
She pushed open the door to one of the toilet cubicles and squeezed her throat, trying to induce herself to vomit out the red wine she drank just
For some time, the sounds of a woman retching and coughing rang out constantly throughout the cubicle.
The man in the cubicle next door litted his hand to fasten his belt, then casually walked out of the cubicle.
Aaron finally paused as he
ie was passing by Nicole’s cubicle.
Was she trespassing in the men’s restroom?
now
He subconsciously looked around the restroom. Fortunately, there was nobody else in the men’s restroom at the moment. If Nicole had seen something she shouldn’t have, he would not have been a happy man
He made a beeline for the entrance and locked the men’s restroom from the inside, then made his way back to Nicole’s cubicle.
Nicole flushed the red wine down the toilet. Her face was red from vomiting and even her eyes were watery, which made her look particularly pitiful
She stumbled the moment she opened the cubicle door and stepped of
Why was Aaron here?
At that moment, he had one hand in his pocket and was gazing meaningfully at her.
She blinked and immediately looked around. When she noticed the men’s urinals on the opposite wall, her expression darkened instantly, and her heart hammered In herchest
Had she walked into the men’s restrooms by mistake?
Her breathingsuddenly became uneven, and she could hardly speak coherently. “I didn’t know this was the men’s restroom.”
Aaron looked at her in amusement, swallowing subconsciously at the sight of her flushed face and glossy red lips.
“What did you drink to make you vot so much?” he asked.
Nicole felt a little dizzy as she listened to lam speaking. She thought to herself that there definitely hadn’t been anything good in that wine.
Although she had promptly induced herself to vomit out the wine, would whatever had been in it still cause a reaction?
She wanted to leave the restroom, but she stumbled as soon as she took a step. Seeing as she was about to lose her balance, Aaron quickly strode over and grab her waist, pulling ber into his aums
She was wearing a low–cut dress today, so when he looked down at her
Her heart raced and she quickly raised her hands to cover her chest,
“What are you trying to cover?” he asked
“Aren’t you overstepping a little, Mr. Compton?” she countered. “Don’t forget, we’re only in a contractual marriage ”
“I see,” he said simply.
He then made it look as if he was about to let go of her, which caught her off guard. Seeing that she was about to tall, she immediately screamed and reflexively grabbed Aaron’s shoulder to maintain her balance.
The posture she ended up in made it seem as if she was welcoming his advances.
