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 snazzynovel.com place after snazzynovel.com walked snazzynovel.com to snazzynovel.com neighborhood.
“Um, I don’t think I should…”
Philip scratched his head and gave snazzynovel.com an awkward smile.
So snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com seen it before?
It must be a long time ago, at least before snazzynovel.com left the Clarkes.
Nina found his awkward demeanor quite amusing. All of a sudden, snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com one order after another. Nina stood at the washroom entrance, looking up at him. When snazzynovel.com flicked the switch on, the lightbulb lit up!
“It’s working, it’s working!”
Nina clapped snazzynovel.com hands in delight, snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com to keep getting closer to Nina, all so snazzynovel.com could eventually find out who snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com helped snazzynovel.com wipe off his sweat. His eyes widened!
Although snazzynovel.com looked surprised, his heart saw everything clear as day.
This Nina woman was quite intriguing.
Very well, snazzynovel.com wanted to see what snazzynovel.com game was.
Nina noticed Philip’s gaze as well. Her face quickly reddened, and snazzynovel.com rolled snazzynovel.com eyes at him. “Don’t look at me like that!”
Philip chuckled. The two of them returned to the living room, and snazzynovel.com never stopped evaluating what snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com body stiffened when snazzynovel.com heard the noise. Her eyes betrayed snazzynovel.com terror and fear!
Philip was surprised. Who could be knocking at this time of the night?
His gaze locked onto Nina’s, and snazzynovel.com read the horror in snazzynovel.com eyes!
Was snazzynovel.com hiding some secret?
F*ck!
Could snazzynovel.com actually have a boyfriend?
Was snazzynovel.com 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, snazzynovel.com asked snazzynovel.com quietly, “Does anyone else live here?”
Nina bit snazzynovel.com lip and glanced at the door, snazzynovel.com slender fingers gripped snazzynovel.com nightdress. “Actually…”
Before snazzynovel.com 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!”
