Rotten Twins: Making a CEO a Daddy นิยาย บท 44

Lyla deliberately walked out of the washroom slowly. She preferred to stay longer outside as she was bound to drink again once she returned to the private room.

The moment she came out of the washroom, someone blocked her way. Mark Pattinson was standing in the corridor, leaning against the wall and smoking. The smoke that curled up in the air blurred the view of his expression.

This person was everywhere!

Since she had learned her lesson from her previous experience, Lyla dared not ask him any questions. She walked past him silently.

“Where are you going?” Mark Pattinson asked coldly. The chillness in his voice would have sent a shiver down everyone’s spines.

“Oh... I just went to the washroom.”

‘Damn it, do I need to report to him whenever I use the washroom?’ Lyla grumbled in her heart.

“Really? What did you do then?”

What... Lyla went speechless.

Unbeknownst to her, that scene between her and Arden had been caught by Mark Pattinson. He had sneaked out when he realized that Lyla had not returned after some time. Coincidentally, it was at that exact moment that the scene unfolded right before him. From his perspective, the two of them seemed to be hugging one another intimately. Therefore, the sight had caused him much irritation.

Was that not a silly question? What else could one do inside a washroom other than relieving oneself?

Lyla was utterly speechless and continued on her way. ‘I cannot afford to mess with you, so the best I can do is avoid you.’

With a look of persistence, Mark Pattinson raised his alluring eyebrows. He gritted his teeth as he said, “Did I say you could go?”

“What do you want from me, Mr. President?” Lyla halted her footsteps and looked at Mark Pattinson in confusion. She had no idea how she had offended him again.

“Who sent you over? Is it Arden?” Mark Pattinson asked directly.

“I’m not sure what you mean.” Lyla felt that there was no need to explain herself. Where was the logic? Did he really think that she was a spy or plotting against him?

“The meaning of the words!”

The dialogue between both of them was very straightforward and explosive. It could have been due to the effect of the alcoholic drinks. Lyla raised her head and gazed at Mark Pattinson.

She looked exceptionally alluring with her rosy cheeks.

Mark Pattinson abruptly dragged her aside and pressed her against the wall. He then leaned closer toward her. He was more than a head taller than Lyla.

“What are you doing?” Lyla frowned and asked in frustration.

Mark Pattinson had trapped her with both of his arms. Squinting, his deep voice escaped his thin lips. “What’s your relationship with Arden? Hmm?” Actually, Mark Pattinson had no idea why he sounded so bitter like a jealous man checking on his woman.

“That’s my personal business, and there’s no need for me to clarify it to you, Mr. President!” Lyla said.

Upon hearing those words, Mark Pattinson glared at her. He prowled over her with that penetrating gaze of his. Great, those words finally stirred him up.

All of a sudden, he smiled.
