Chapter 95
For a moment, the air was frozen. Moira froze for a moment before tremblingly retrieving the powder puff. She apologized, “S… Sorry, Mr. Covington, this is setting powder, not poisonous. I’ll clean it up for you.”
She didn’t mean to.
Moira fumbled around for tissues but found none on the table.
She looked back at his lips. Without caring about whether there was a tissue or not, she directly used her hand to brush off the setting powder from his lips.
‘Barclay’s lips are quite soft, and it will be comfortable to kiss him, Moira thought.
Realizing what she was thinking, Moira’s ears and neck instantly turned red.
And she hesitated whether to touch his lips with her hands.
Barclay didn’t feel any better either. Her soft fingertips brushed against his lips, and she was leaning so close to him. Her warm breath was sprayed on his
face.
Barclay lowered his eyes and looked at her rosy lips. For a moment, he wanted to lean in and taste them.
But he resisted, restraining his desires. He raised his hand to push away her fingertips. “It’s fine. I’ll go wash my face.”
With that said, he stood up and went into the bathroom.
In front of the mirror, he saw that the red mark was already covered.
Barclay wiped it with his hand and found that it was covered quite convincingly.
Moira felt like she had caused trouble. After Barclay went into the bathroom, she sat on the sofa, hands folded on her lap, bowing her head. Barclay walked back into the living room, raising an eyebrow slightly as he looked at Moira on the sofa. “You did a good job covering it,” he said. Upon hearing the praise, Moira instantly felt relaxed. She raised a smile, about to speak, but then she heard him say, “Don’t cover it next time.”
The smile froze on her face, looking more awkward than crying.
“I’m leaving,” Barclay said.
He stole one final glance at her and turned to leave t
the villa.
Soon, Moira heard the sound of the car engine outside.
Is he angry?” Moira thought.
Jordan had just started the car when he suddenly heard Barclay ask, “Do you have water?”
Jordan quickly stopped the car and handed a bottle of water to Barclay from the storage compartment.
Jordan was curious. As he started the car again, he couldn’t help but glance at the rearview mirror.
He saw Barclay open the bottle of water, dip his finger in it, and then apply it to his neck.

Jordan thought, ‘What is wrong with Mr. Covington?’
Jordan wanted to ask if everything was alright, but considering that Barclay wasn’t one to accept concern easily, he shut his mouth and focused on
driving..
Barclay tried to wipe off the concealer and found that only a little powder came off, and the red mark was still concealed underneath.
He didn’t expect that the concealer was waterproof.
He stopped his actions, not bothering with the waterproof concealer anymore.
He soon arrived at the company. Linden was waiting at the staircase. When he saw Barclay, he breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, “Mr. Covington.”
He thought Barclay wasn’t coming today.
Barclay nodded and said, “Get me a bottle of makeup remover.”
Linden, who had been working for Barclay for so many years, was a bit confused when he heard this. And he didn’t know why Barclay needed makeup
remover.
But as a qualified secretary, Linden could only comply and say, “Yes, Mr. Covington, I’ll go get it right away.”
