The door to the guest room next to the one they were in was ajar, and Annie immediately pushed it open and went inside.
The room wasn't lit.
But just as she stepped in, someone grabbed her tightly. Accompanied by rough breathing, she was picked up rudely and carried straight to the bedroom.
Then, the sound of a tumultuous struggle echoed.
After a long while, the lights came back on.
Next to Annie was none other than Jack.
"Darling, I haven't seen you in ages. I've missed you to death!" Jack said, holding Annie's face with a look of affection.
But Annie sneered, saying, "Miss me? In Huaxia, you must be having plenty of fun every day, right? Are you ever short of women?"
Jack chuckled awkwardly without denying it, then said, "But you're still my favorite."
"Alright, enough small talk. Let's get down to business."
Annie said, "I came back this time because the old man doesn't trust you. He sent me to see how you're doing."
