In a dimly-lit hotel room...
Dora Moon passionately kissed the handsome stranger.
Earlier tonight, her ex-boyfriend, Larry Moore, announced his engagement—with another woman. Dora was so devastated that she got drunk at a bar. Under the influence of alcohol and the strange man's charm, she somehow ended up here.
Now that Harold was marrying a rich girl regardless of his four-year relationship with her, then she could also indulge herself a little, right?
Just as the man was pulling her clothes off, Dora leaned on the man's shoulder and forgot herself, murmuring, "larry"
The man stopped abruptly, and the lust in the atmosphere instantly dissipated.
The next second, the lights were flicked on.
The bright light made her squint, but when her eyes finally adjusted to the light, she saw the man's face clearly.
It was Martins Dark_
the most sought-after lawyer across the country. He was very famous in law circles, and he was an elite with countless assets.
But most importantly, he was the future brother-in-law of Larry, who had just betrayed her.
Dora sobered up instantly.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She almost had sex with the brother of her very rival in love!
Martins also pulled away from her.
Leaning against the wall, he lit a cigarette. After taking a long drag, he looked her up and down and said playfully, "Very interesting, Miss Moon"
He flicked the ash off his cigarette and asked with a faint smile, "What were you thinking about just now when you kissed me? Did you want to have sex with me to make Larry jealous?"
Obviously, Martins also recognized her now.
Dora couldn't pretend that she didn't know this man.
After all, Martins was famous. She just didn't recognize him earlier because of the alcohol.
She knew that she couldn't afford to offend such a big shot, so she lowered her head and apologized meekly. "I'm sorry, Mr. Dark . I drank too much."
Fortunately, he didn't make things difficult for her. After finishing off his cigarette, he stood up straight and tossed a coat at her. "Put it on. I'll drive you back."
Dora thanked him softly.
In Martin's Bentley, while neither of the two spoke all throughout the drive, Dora would occasionally steal glances at him.
The man had an angular face and a perfectly chiseled jawline. Although she didn't know the brand of his shirt, she could see that it was very expensive.
Dora guessed that there must've been tons of women lining up to hook up with this man.
After a few minutes of silence, Marins stopped the car in front of their destination. He turned his head slightly and stared at her slender and straight legs for a few seconds before finally handing her his business card.
Dora knew what this meant.
But she was surprised that he'd still want to sleep with her after finding out who she was.
Although he was charming and probably good in bed, Dora hesitated. It was a bad idea to get entangled with a big shot like him, so she said, "Mr. Dark, we'd better not stay in contact."
Martins shrugged indifferently.
Dora was indeed beautiful, but he wouldn't force himself on her if she was not interested.
So he tucked his business card back in his pocket and said, "Being conservative suits you."
Dora was a little embarrassed, but before she could respond, Martins got out of the car and opened the door for her like a gentleman. She almost wondered if it was all just a dream and that nothing had actually happened between them in that hotel room tonight.
As soon as she got out, the car slowly drove away.
A cool breeze blew over, sending shivers down her spine. Only then did she realize that she had forgotten to return the coat to him.
When she was hesitating whether she should try to catch up to him or not, her phone rang.
Glancing at the caller ID, she saw that it was her stepmother Merissa calling. The latter's anxious voice sounded from the other end of the line, saying, "Rena, come back home now! Something bad happened!"
Dora tried to ask her about it, but Merissa couldn't make it clear on the phone and just pleaded with her to go back home as soon as possible.
