Chapter 17 It Makes Sense That You Are Not Interested in Me As she stood barefooted, Damara was soaked entirely, with her long hair dripping water. Her nails were neatly trimmed, and her rounded, fair toes that were curled up revealed her nervousness. Abner gave her a meaningful glance, closed his laptop, and sneered, “Honey? You’re not planning to hide your thoughts anymore, are you?” Noticing his gaze, Damara looked down at herself and realized that even the outline of her bra was visible under the light. Her already pale face instantly turned red as if it would bleed. In a panic, she ran back to the bathroom. Uninterested in playing along with her feigned reluctance, Abner picked up the laptop and documents from the side and got ready to leave. A photo slipped out from the files and slowly landed on the floor. Before he could pick it up, he heard the bathroom door being pushed open again. There were no spare clothes here, so Damara wrapped herself in a towel, her wet hair pinned up. She revealed her face, and her tone and actions were much more respectful than before. “Mr. Robinson, I’m sorry about what happened just now.” She lowered her head and took out a prepared card, “I’ll arrange a new room for you and compensate you for all the me ntal distress caused.” 0.00% <

Instead, scenes of her clinging to him and forcibly kissing him flashed by. She felt her chest surging with waves, and her face was still burning hot. The only relief was that Abner seemed unaware of her identity. “You think I need money? Or are you deliberately saying this to get my attention?” Abner scrutinized her from head to toe. “What makes you think I would be interested in you?” Earlier on the court, she had the nerve to tell Allen that she was the wife of the Robinson Group’s president.

He bent down and picked up the photos from the floor. The last one was near Damara’s feet. Stepping back, Damara helped pick it up. Just as she was about to hand it over, she glanced at the photo, and a trace of surprise flashed through her eyes. Wasn’t this the villa she had designed? Surprised, she held onto the photo and didn’t immediately give it to Abner. Noticing her staring at the photo in her hand, Abner frowned.
