“Jack…”
Emily eyed him skeptically, “You’re faking it, aren’t you?”
She frowned, struggling to free herself, “I won’t fall for it!” “Uh…”
Unexpectedly, Jack was easily pushed away by her, losing his balance and stumbling backward, knocking over a few chairs in the process. The noise was followed by him crashing to the ground. “Jack!”
Emily was shocked, not expecting such an outcome, and hurried over, crouching down to grab his arm.
“Are you okay?” “Heh.”
Leaning against the leg of a chair, Jack shook his head with a laugh, “I’m fine… If you’re mad, just take it out on me, but don’t ignore me.”
What nonsense is he talking?
Emily nodded, somewhat dismissively, “Alright, get up!”
She didn’t have enough strength, and glanced at Naomi, “Come give me a hand!”
“Sure!”
“Don’t! Not you!”
But as soon as Naomi approached, Jack flinched away, firmly grasping Emily.
“Emily, you hold me. Will you help me up?”
Emily:…
Alright, she believed him; he was definitely drunk.
“Fine!” Emily gritted her teeth, “But you’ve got to help, too. You’re so heavy…”
“Oh.”
Finally getting him up from the ground, Emily was panting, a fine sweat breaking out on her forehead.
Jack leaned on her shoulder, half his body weight on her.
Mumbling, “Emily, my head hurts… so bad… I wanna sleep, let me sleep.”
“Where’s Charles?” Emily asked, annoyed, “Your bodyguard, where is he?”
Jack shook his head, “Don’t know, don’t want them…”
He was definitely taking her for granted.
Emily, irritated to the point of gnashing her teeth, said, “Then let’s go! Back to sleep!”
After finally getting him back to his hotel room, Emily pushed him, sending him sprawling onto the bed. “Ah…”
Gasping for air, she glared at the man on the bed, “You’re really heavy! What are you made of, iron?” So thirsty, she needed water.
Turning towards the fridge, she
grabbed a bottle. Just as she
twisted off the cap, the man oel
bed started to grunt. Contene
“Water, water, Emily…”
Emily: …
Without taking a sip, she took a deep breath and walked over to the bed with the water. “Here, drink.”
“Okay…” Jack lifted his arm, reaching out to her.
Emily handed him the water, letting go as she prepared to get another bottle for herself. ‘Clack’!
Unsteady, Jack failed to catch it, and the opened bottle fell, splashing all over him. “Oh!”
Emily startled, quickly picked up the fallen bottle, half-empty by then.
She glared at Jack, “Could you hold it steady?”
Jack looked pitiful, “It keeps moving…”
Moving?
Emily didn’t understand, “What do you mean?”
“Why are you moving too?” The lifted his hand, cupping her face, “Stop moving, huh? It’s makinge everything blurry… One, two… Why are there so many Emilys?
are there so many Ene
“You’re really drunk.”
Emily’s cheeks were pressed by his palms, her lips pouting, “Forget the water, just sleep!”
She tried to push him away.
“Don’t leave.”
Jack refused, his eyes half-closed, leaning in and pressing his lips to hers.
“Mmph…”
In that moment, Emily’s eyes widened.
The man holding her deepened the kiss.
At the door.
Karol, holding the room key, paced anxiously in place.
She had been waiting here for an hour!
Just when Jack had finally returned, it wasn’t by himself, but with Emily!
She had only seen the message in
