Chapter 27
Hank stole a glance at Angela and gave her a look.
But she didn’t understand what he meant at all.
The auction was over. Shouldn’t they go to the airport and return to Tervais now?
Although she had entrusted her two children to Elsie, she was still worried that Elsie would not be able to handle the two little rascals,
Pierre did not answer and went straight to the car that had picked them up. Angela could only follow.
Only then did she understand how objective and fair Elsie’s opinion of Pierre was.
The car did not go to the airport. Instead, it stopped in front of a hotel.
Angela looked at the magnificent hotel lobby and did not want to go in.
What did Pierre mean by this? Did he want to make an unwanted pass at her in the hotel?
She quietly took out her cell phone ready to pull out the Emergency SOS slider.
Seeing that Angela didn’t move, Hank explained in a low voice, “Miss Simpson, there is no flight back to Tervais now. You need to stay in the hotel tonight. The flight is at 7:30 tomorrow morning.”
She breathed a sigh of relief and entered the elevator.
When she got out of the elevator, she found that Hank had booked a presidential suite.
“Why… why did he do this?”
Angela’s attractive eyes were fixed on Hank for a long time.
Hank hastily explained, “Sorry, Miss Simpson, Mr. Louise will be staying in the master bedroom. You will have to stay in the second bedroom tonight. It’s only for a few hours.”
After saying that, he left. He was afraid that Angela would slap him if he was a little slower. He had seen her slap others, and it looked quite painful.
Angela was going crazy. How did Hank do his job? How could he let a single woman stay in the same room with a man?
The Louise Group couldn’t afford another room? If Pierre didn’t want to pay, she could pay for it herself.
She turned around to open the door, but Pierre blocked the door.
“Are you afraid?” he asked.
She wanted to swear at him. Afraid? That was impossible. She just didn’t want to be alone with him.
But she understood that beggars couldn’t be choosers, even though she could definitely afford another room.
She replied with a smile, “I’m afraid you’ve misunderstood me, Mr. Louise.”
Even her facial muscles were a little sore from her fake smile.
Pierre snorted and teased, “Are you afraid my cousin will misunderstand? If so, you shouldn’t have come with me to Dusone today.”
Angela secretly rolled her eyes. If it wasn’t for the Galaxy, she wouldn’t have come here with such an indifferent man.
When she thought of the Galaxy, her attractive eyes were filled with excitement.
The trip to Dusone was worth it!
Pierre looked at Angela, who had a faint smile on her face and looked as if she wanted to say something. Suddenly he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips while holding her soft waist with both hands.
Angela was stunned. The man’s pleasant smell reminded her of that night five years ago.
And his kiss was so familiar that she wanted to get lost in it.
At that moment, the ringing of her cell phone brought her back to reality in an instant. Suddenly, she lifted her knee and pushed the man away.
However, the door was behind Pierre, so there was no place to retreat to.

His face turned pale. Covering his crotch with both hands, he let out a muffled moan, leaning to the side and curling up.
This woman was too cruel! Was, was she still a woman?!
Even Pierre didn’t understand how he had been bewitched by this woman. He couldn’t believe he had just kissed her.
While he was in so much pain that he had no time to do anything to her, Angela opened the door and fled.
She couldn’t stay there. How could she be enchanted by his smell? If her phone hadn’t started ringing, she might have slept with him.
It was not until the elevator door closed with a ding that she took out her cell phone to check the missed call.
It was from Chase.
Why was he calling her in the middle of the night?
Before she could figure it out, her phone rang again. It was still Chase.
She adjusted her breathing and pressed the answer button.
“Hello, Mr. Louise.”
She sounded very distant.
“I heard that you went to Dusone with Pierre, Miss Simpson,” Chase said in a gentle tone. He was not at all angry that his call had been missed.
Angela had a strange feeling that he was spying on her. “Are all the members of the Louise family crazy?” she thought.
She didn’t answer, and Chase continued, “I heard from an entertainment reporter at dinner tonight. She took photos of you and Pierre at the airport.”
Angela frowned. She didn’t want to be in the news with Pierre.
“Mr. Louise, you…”
While Angela was organizing her words, Chase said, “I’ve bought the photos. Don’t worry, Miss Simpson.”
Angela exhaled deeply.
“Thank you, Mr. Louise.”
She was sincere. Pierre was a very famous man, and these photos would probably be in the headlines if they were to get out. She didn’t want to be in the headlines again, especially with Pierre.
“No need to thank me, Miss Simpson. The Louise Group doesn’t want the photos to be made public either.”
On the other end of the phone, Chase looked at the photos in his hand.
Even though the photos were taken in secret, the two people looked like a perfect match inexplicably.
Because of the camera angle, they seemed to be very intimate with each other in seemingly matching outfits.
Chase smiled playfully. He had never been one to do good deeds without letting others know. Even if he hadn’t done this for Angela, he had to let her know that he had helped her.
That was more interesting.
Pierre also knew that he had been secretly photographed. Chase was quite swift this time.
Was it because of Angela or the Louise Group that he bought the photos so quickly?
While he was thinking, Angela got a room for herself.
As soon as she entered the room, she locked the door and put the door chain on.
Wasn’t it said that Pierre didn’t like women and that Kimberly was the only woman in his life?
He was clearly a lewd person!
She couldn’t trust the rumors!
She went to the bathroom to take a shower. Then she checked the lock again and fell asleep.

Chapter 27
It was almost 10 a.m. when they returned to ‘Tervais.
As soon as she got off the plane, she turned on her cell phone and called Elsic.
“Elsie.”
“Don’t worry. Charlie and Danielle have already gone to kindergarten. You can rest assured!” she replied.
Angela lowered her voice. “I’m not worried. I trust you. Are you free to pick me up at the airport now?”
She didn’t want to be in the same car as Pierre.
After what had happened last night, she felt embarrassed to be in a tight space with him.
Besides, Pierre’s unique smell always reminded her of that night. He was dangerous to her, so she had to stay away from him.
Elsie was very surprised to hear her words. “Angie, didn’t you go with Pierre? Did that bastard ask you to come back alone? Or does he not allow you to take his car?”
Angela looked at the man a few steps in front of her and asked in a low voice, “Are you coming or not? I’ll take a cab if you don’t.”
Elsie quickly replied, “Am I such an unreliable person to you? I’m close by. I’ll be there in about 20 minutes.”
After hanging up the phone, Angela took a few hurried steps to Hank and said, “Mr. Millan, my friend will be here to pick me up. I won’t be going with you.”
Hank glanced at Pierre’s back and replied, “Okay.”
Pierre said coldly, “Hurry up!”
His tone was full of impatience.
Hank nodded apologetically to Angela and quickened his pace.
In fact, he wasn’t far behind. There was only half a step between him and Mr. Louise as usual.
