We Got Love, The Crazy Kind

Chapter 24 Not Letting Her Go

Amber was ticked off by Liam’s behavior.

“What on earth does he want by blocking my way and not talking? Is he trying to come up with a new

way to humiliate me?” she wondered.

Amber decided not to waste any more time on him. Looking annoyed, she leaned forward to reach for

the door handle. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

She knew touching his body was inevitable because he was standing right in front of the door.

However, she was too desperate to leave the place to be bothered by that.

Liam caught a whiff of her pleasant scent when her body brushed against his.

Before his brain could stop him, his hand reached out to her wrist and held it in a tight grip.

“What’re you doing?” Amber shot him a furious glare.

Something was glimmering in his eyes when he stared at her. With urgency in his voice, he said, “I’d

like to add an extra clause into the agreement. From now on, you are prohibited from taking part-time

jobs without my permission. To make up for your loss, I’ll give you an extra 20 thousand dollars as

compensation every month.”

Amber was stunned to hear that. “Is he negotiating a new deal with me?” she wondered.

“Please don’t forget that you’re my fiancée, though only in name. Everything you do has to be

appropriate for your status.” Liam’s voice was calm, but his contempt toward Amber was palpable.

He was insinuating that Amber’s appearance at the bikini show was a disgrace to him!

Apparently, he did not think a woman like Amber was good enough for him. “Signing that agreement

with me must have been his last resort back then. I bet he wouldn’t have done it if he had not been so

desperate to salvage his reputation at that time,” Amber thought.

With a smile, she countered, “What if I say no?”

Liam found himself being turned on by that smile on her face.

Trying hard to stop his eyes from lingering on her lips, he responded in a voice strained with irritation,

“Do you think…”

Just then, the room suddenly plunged into total darkness due to a power outage.

Human senses generally became more sensitive amidst the darkness. Therefore, Amber only realized

that Liam was still holding her wrist when the lights went out.

His grip on her wrist was not gentle at all. Still, Amber’s face couldn’t help burning with embarrassment

when she felt the warmth from his hand.

She tried to free her wrist from him, but she ended up stumbling forward and landing right on Liam’s

body.

Her forehead fell squarely on his chest. She could hear a string of rapid heartbeats, but she was not

sure who it belonged to.

Taken aback by the situation, Liam took several seconds to process it. He responded just in time to

stop himself from wrapping his arms around her body.

After some time, Amber came back to her senses and tried to shove him away.

He refused to let her go.

While she was tussling with Liam, she accidentally dropped her oversized windbreaker to the ground.

She was almost naked because she was only wearing a bikini underneath the windbreaker!

Feeling exasperated and embarrassed, she glowered at Liam and demanded, “Let me go now!”

For some reason, her somewhat coquettish tone melted his heart.

With her warm breath caressing his neck, a jolt of electricity coursed through his body, causing him to

lose the ability to think straight.

He did not feel like letting her go at all.
