ELLA.
"Theresa… is Lurgard in there?"
The voice came again from outside the room, and instantly, my entire body froze.
My heart slammed wildly against my chest.
Oh no.
Without thinking twice, I tried to push Lurgard away from me immediately, swaying my body desperately to break free from his grip.
But instead of letting go…his smile only widened.
That shameless man looked completely entertained by my panic.
"Do you want me to stay longer…" he whispered softly, his emerald eyes glinting mischievously, "…or should I expose us like this?"
My breathing hitched instantly.
His fingers brushed slowly against my lips teasingly while he stared directly into my eyes like he already knew I was losing my mind.
"Lurgard…" I whispered warningly.
But he clearly wasn't listening.
"Theresa… is he there?" Lawrence's voice echoed again from outside. "Can I come in?"
I shut my eyes briefly.
Of course it was Lawrence.
Honestly, this morning was becoming a complete disaster.
