I curse you for impotency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bathroom door is pulled open with a clatter. Frances Louis stands there with a towel on his lower body, looking at me half-squinted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat did you say?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNothing! I was wondering what you have eaten because you are so energetic.\u201d I laugh a hollow laugh, and prevaricate quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Men love to be complimented by women. Even if Frances Louis is otherworldly, he would not be an exception.<\/p>\n<p>The knock on the door rings again. I don\u2019t answer him anymore and go to the door.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon&#8217;t open the door,\u201d Frances Louis stops me and whispers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy?\u201d I turn to look at him and ask with confusion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s not a secret that every time I come to Santos I would stay in this hotel. But no one ever knocked at the door, so I guess it is not a good visit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I stop when I hear his words.<\/p>\n<p>Why should I make trouble for myself when Frances Louis doesn&#8217;t want to mess with it?<\/p>\n<p>He goes to the night table and calls the reception.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is someone knocking at my door. Whoever it is, tell him I&#8217;m out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then, Frances Louis hangs up.<\/p>\n<p>Soon the knocking stops.<\/p>\n<p>He goes to the wardrobe and opens it. There are several suits hanging in it. They are all his size.<\/p>\n<p>A man like him wouldn&#8217;t go around with a pile of clothes. He must have always hired this room. But I am curious that he is so rich, why he still lives in a hotel, but buy a house?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you have a house at Santos, Frances Louis?\u201d I look at his sharp and strong figure and ask lightly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t like buying house.\u201d He says lightly.<\/p>\n<p>He doesn\u2019t seem to want to continue the subject, and I consciously shut up.<\/p>\n<p>His hands begin to loosen the towel from his waist, and I turn my head hastily to avoid seeing what I should not see.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you shy?\u201d Frances Louis chuckles behind me.<\/p>\n<p>I roll my eyes and ignore him.<\/p>\n<p>Damn it! Why can\u2019t be shy?! Is it strange that I am shy?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome here.\u201d He suddenly says.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know if he\u2019s dressed and I kind of don&#8217;t want to go.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat?\u201d I ask impatiently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHelp me with my belt. Did you forget? It is a bug that you designed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The customer is the god, and the patron is gold Lord is more important than the god.<\/p>\n<p>I could feel his eyes on me. I couldn&#8217;t stop my palms from sweating as he looks at me, and it takes me a long time to buckle his belt.<\/p>\n<p>Lawrence Jordan gets up and speaks to me.<\/p>\n<p>Why he looks at me?<\/p>\n<p>The next second, Frances Louis turns to me and asks, \u201cwhat would you like to eat?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I shake my head and say whatever.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know much about seafood. I come from the countryside and live in the inland. What I have eaten is nothing more than crab, shrimp, squid and so on, if must add another kind, does seaweed count?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen lobster, fin and so on, bring the most expensive food you have.\u201d Frances Louis says casually and sits down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExploiter!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lawrence Jordan complains, but he goes out and tell the attendant at the door.<\/p>\n<p>Then I see that man sail out to sea.<\/p>\n<p>What? I thought Lawrence Jordan was kidding. They really go to the sea to catch seafood.<\/p>\n<p>Frances Louis is talking to Lawrence Jordan about something I don\u2019t understand. I am bored and play with my phone. Then, feeling a little like to pee, I put down my phone and go to the bathroom.<\/p>\n<p>When I come out, I find Frances Louis staring at my phone screen.<\/p>\n<p>I feel strange and quicken my pace. I hang up the phone quickly when I see Noah Jefferson&#8217;s name.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know what I am guilty of, but my heart is beating violently.<\/p>\n<p>And the next second, the screen lights up again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-89","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/89","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
