"Are you also this considerate with other women?"
Daniel looked alarmed. "Wh... What do you mean?"
Maisie pouted. "That female journalist... She didn't seem too friendly..."
Daniel was taken aback. Which female journalist was she talking about? There were several this morning, and he
had been fully focused on Maisie. He had no time to pay attention to other women's expressions.
However, since his lady had spoken up, he had to clarify it. He couldn't bear an unjust accusation.
He forced a smile. "Maisie, there were so many people this morning, and I honestly didn't notice. I'm not sure which
one you mean."

flustered was rather amusing.
Amanda had dampened her mood, but the vexation vanished upon seeing Daniel's response.
"It's Amanda," she said bluntly. "The one who left last."
"Oh..."
"Be honest now. Does she like you?"
"Huh?" Daniel was already starting to sweat on his forehead.
"Let me tell you, a woman's sixth sense is quite accurate! If she didn't like you, she wouldn't have given me that
hostile look!"
Maisie pursed her lip and turned away from him.
Daniel paused for a moment, then chuckled secretly. He walked over to embrace her from behind and held her in
his arms. She struggled a bit but then allowed him to hold her. He knew she was feeling jealous, and her jealous
reaction was something he wanted to see and cherish the most.
"Well... You can't blame me just because I have charm. Don't put other people's likings on me, okay?"
"What are you saying?!"
Daniel laughed and held Maisie tightly.
Maisie blushed and nudged him with her elbow.
During their playful moment, Maisie slipped. Daniel failed to stabilize her, so both of them fell onto the large bed.
With Daniel on top of her, their eyes met, and it felt as if a fire was burning in the depths of her heart. Even the air
seemed to heat up.

Daniel's gaze appeared as if he wanted to melt her, and his hand moved along her slender waist, inching toward
that forbidden place.
"Is it alright?" he asked breathlessly.
Blushing, Maisie dared not look into his eyes and whispered, "But it's daytime."
He grinned. "It'll be nighttime when we finish."
"Daniel!"
Maisie was both embarrassed and shy, her face turning to the side and her heart pounding. Yet deep inside, there
seemed to be a hidden sense of anticipation.
This feeling was something she had never experienced while being with Graham. Maybe it was time for some things
to happen...
