On Fire

Chapter 16 Spend the Night with Me

I just arrived at the staircase when a big hand seized me. I stiffened but was ready to hit back, out of

instincts. What stopped me from hitting back was a chiselled face looking at me at close range and

carrying a slight smile.

“Mr. Quinn, it’s you!” I was astonished.

“Are you very surprised?” When he realized that I recognized him, Kenneth Quinn quickly let go of me.

Then he stared at my face and commented with a frown, “Hmm, I think you look better without

makeup.”

“… makeup is for work.” I mocked.

“Well, the saying goes, ‘a girl dolls herself up for her admirer’, your makeup is so ugly, because you

don’t have an admirer, do you?”

“Er … it isn’t so bad, or?” I touched my face, feeling deeply embarrassed. Luckily, it was already dark,

otherwise, he would notice that I was blushing.

“Ugly, it’s horrendous!” He even pinched my face, I stepped back and protested in a girlish manner. It

felt a lot like we were flirting at that scene.

“Hey, Mr. Quinn, welcome, welcome. I’m Molly, the manager here. May I ask, are you here by yourself?

Would you like a big room or small one?”

Even before the high-pitched voice from my back came to stop, Molly had already past where I was

standing. Her sexy body glided graciously towards Mr. Quinn. Standing in front of him now, with

exaggerated movements, she wanted to caress his body. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“Go away!”

Kenneth commanded icily, along with a cold expression. Molly dared not trifle with Kenneth, she

retreated quickly and bowed, half respectfully, half-jokingly. Kenneth reached out for my hand and

announced in a volume that was neither too loud nor too soft.

“Next time when I visit, remember to appear right on time. Otherwise, I’ll search the whole place

“Okay!”

I did not comprehend why he was so kind to me. I had to admit though, the unfriendly stare he gave

Molly earlier on brought me some secret satisfaction. Even though I had not wanted to stoop so low as

to have a competition with Molly, it did not mean that I like her. I was secretly gleeful over her being

disfavored.

When I glanced back at her, I saw that her expression was as cold as frost. Inexplicably, it sent

uncomfortable vibes in my heart. At this place, having an enemy could be a very dangerous affair.

Then I noticed that Kenneth was staring at me the whole time, I asked uneasily, “Mr. Quinn, how big is

your party? How big a room do you require?”

“Just myself!”

“… then let me get you a small room.”

I led him into a small room. Just as we barely stepped into the room, he pressed me against the wall.

He started kissing me forcefully. That caught me off guard completely, yet I did not push him away.

Firstly, it was because I had in mind what Toby Jones told me before, if I could get close to Kenneth

Quinn, who was an important figure, it would basically mean that I had my ticket to security. Secondly, I

was very curious why his minty breath was so strong.

“Jess, spend the night with me, would you?” He released the kiss on my lips and whispered this

question.
