Carl was shirtless on the huge bed in the bedroom. He was only wearing a pair of shorts that didn't even reach his knees. He was tan and muscular. His well-built body was perfectly proportioned without a trace of excess fat. He looked so tempting that any woman would want to pounce on him and take a bite. Whitney was dressed in a mature-looking spaghetti-strap sleeping gown. She leaned against Carl's chest with her arms spread and listened to his strong and steady heartbeat. "What's the matter?" asked Carl. His eyes were narrowed, and his gaze was filled with anger. "I thought there was an assassin." Violet came up with a random excuse. Sensing his obvious distrust, she said, "I just think that you eyeing a kid is a little unreasonable, Mr. Walker." "Vincent! Watch how you speak to Mr. Walker!" scolded Reed. Violet frowned and looked at Whitney, who was blinded by Carl's dashing looks. She was gazing at him in a lovestruck manner. "Reed, leave us," Carl ordered coldly.

When the sky started turning bright, Violet's eyes flew open. The first thing she did was to look at Whitney and Carl. She didn't know how she could have fallen asleep the previous night. How could she have forgotten that she was lying next to a ticking time bomb? Thank goodness Carl wasn't that perverted. She quickly washed up and stood watch in the room.Whitney woke up very early too. When she spotted Violet standing by the door in her male disguise, she grinned brightly. She was having so much fun right now! She glanced at Carl sleeping beside her. The moment she touched a finger to his cheek, he opened his eyes immediately and rolled on top of her.Violet's heart nearly jumped out of her chest. She kept her gaze trained on Carl and prepared to rescue Whitney should anything go south. Fortunately, Carl and Whitney only fooled around with each other for a short while. Whitney realized that she had gotten more beautiful and kept posing in front of the mirror. Then, she

Violet stood up and said politely, "I'm going to use the restroom.""Okay, hurry up! Vin, you can't run away after losing money!" Mrs. White shouted after her. Violet walked to Carl without looking back. He was having a relaxing drink on his own. "Mr. Walker, you'll compensate me for the money I lost at blackjack, won't you?" asked Violet. Carl shook his head. "What? Then why did you still tell me that all I had to do was lose money?" Violet felt like she had been pranked."Your monthly salary is ten thousand dollars. I'm sure you can afford to lose some money." Carl raised his eyebrows and said teasingly, "Don't worry. If you really lost too much, then I can pay you your salary for five years in advance." Violet clenched her fists angrily. She looked like a kid who had just gotten bullied. However, Carl's gaze was too unfathomable. She couldn't guess what he was thinking."I won't trouble you," Violet stated while suppressing her anger. "I can't rain on their parade eithe

Elle quickly moved back. She didn't understand why "Vincent" wasn't afraid.Violet raised her voice. "I wonder if Mr. Walker would tear you apart if he knew you were baring your chest to other men.""You're the one who should be worried now!" Elle thought "Vincent" must have lost his mind. "When Carl comes in, you won't be able to explain yourself!""Then go ahead and shout." A smile appeared in Violet's eyes, concealing a chilling intent to kill. "The louder, the better."Elle opened her mouth and wanted to shout, but she stopped after seeing the mysteriously fearless look on Violet's face.How could a person's smile be that frightening?Elle's beautiful face turned even paler. Her delicate and helpless appearance tugged at Violet's heart, even as a fellow woman."Don't push me!" Elle's eyes were fierce. "Taking the money and leaving is the only way out I'm giving you.""Too bad." Violet lifted her phone. "Everything you did is recorded here."Elle trembled as fear filled her

Tension filled the air. Thoughts of the wine bottle in Carl's hands consumed Violet's mind. She hadn't smelled the rich aroma of the wine, so it should still be intact."Mr. Walker." Violet looked at Carl with hopeful eyes. "This is the perfect time to have a drink. How about we open the red wine?""Open it?" Carl frowned. Perhaps he knew Violet couldn't see him clearly now, so he smiled. "You failed to steal the wine, and now you want me to treat you to a drink?"Violet ignored the wine-stealing incident. "I heard that you treat your employees exceptionally well. Consider this a welcome gift!"Carl glanced at the red wine in his hand, and a gaze flashed across his eyes.He said, "If you can open it without damaging it within half an hour, I'll let you have a drink.""Really?" Since when did Carl become this easygoing?"Wait. Mr. Walker, I know you're an upright guy. I'm sure you won't lie to me." After flattering Carl, Violet felt much better.She pondered briefly before addin
