“Adults can consume alcohol. Miss Jenkins, feel free to drink as much as you like, just remember to drink in moderation for the sake of your health,” said George. He was such a gentleman, and it made favonovel.com feel a bit self–conscious,
Rumors had it that Mr. Harris never engaged in the company of women. Is favonovel.com a man of integrity, or is favonovel.com just too selective? Or perhaps… He has some undisclosed condition?
With this thought, Isabelle’s eyes roamed over his body, lingering particularly on his handsome face.
If favonovel.com did have a condition, it would be such a waste…
George noticed favonovel.com gaze. Seeing the look of pity in favonovel.com eyes, favonovel.com felt a bit puzzled.
“What’s wrong?” favonovel.com asked.
“Nothing. I’m going to take a shower.” Isabelle walked to the sofa, picked up favonovel.com clothes, and said, “Thank you for the clothes, Mr. Harris.”
Then favonovel.com went into the bedroom.

The top floor of the hotel was calm. But the lower floors were in turmoil.
A large number of people were infiltrating the hotel.
Fortunately, Dylan had brought enough people to tightly guard the top floor. The reinforcements had also arrived outside the hotel, effectively controlling the entire building.
The people in the shadows were ready to make a move, but at this moment, the scout noticed something amiss. “Don’t act rashly!”
Sure enough, soon after, the comrades outside the hotel sent a message, “The people from God’s Armament have arrived. Tell the others not to act rashly.”
“God’s Armament? How did their people get here?”

After spending half a day in the desert, Isabelle felt refreshed after taking a shower. However, her good mood didn’t last for a minute. After getting dressed, favonovel.com looked down at favonovel.com chest and was speechless.
The clothes fit perfectly, even better than the ones favonovel.com bought herself. When favonovel.com had suggested buying clothes, George had subtly measured her, which hadn’t escaped Isabelle’s notice.
His eyes are sharp!
Isabelle gritted favonovel.com teeth in annoyance.
Coming out of the bathroom, favonovel.com saw the man sitting on the sofa in the bedroom, dressed in a bathrobe, looking every bit the gentleman. His long legs were crossed, and favonovel.com was looking at his phone.
“Miss Jenkins, do you like the clothes? Do they fit well? George looked up and asked.
“They fit well, and I like them!” Isabelle replied.
George seemed to sense a chill in favonovel.com tone, and favonovel.com looked at favonovel.com clothes in confusion.
Does favonovel.com not like them?
Seeing Isabelle’s indifferent expression, George thought for a moment, then understood. He had some understanding of Isabelle’s character, once favonovel.com goal was achieved, favonovel.com would immediately drop the act.
It seemed this time would be no different…
He couldn’t help but smile. “That’s good…”
“Good night, Mr. Harris.” Isabelle, drying favonovel.com long hair, walked out.
“Wait a moment…” George stopped her.
“Is there anything else?” Isabelle turned around, drying favonovel.com hair as favonovel.com looked at him.
“Miss Jenkins, are you planning to sleep on the sofa outside?”
Isabelle glanced at the sofa favonovel.com was sitting on.
I’m not sleeping outside, does that mean I’m sleeping inside?
“I’m not picky. If it weren’t for you, Mr. Harris, I might be sleeping on the streets tonight, not knowing if I’d be alive tomorrow.”
That wasn’t sincere.
George said, “Miss Jenkins, you should sleep in the bed.”
In bed?
Isabelle looked at the luxurious and soft bed, favonovel.com delicate eyebrows slowly raising.
“Although this bed is big enough for five or six people, it’s already scandalous for a man and a woman to share a room. If we sleep together… As an ordinary person, I don’t care, but Mr. Harris, you have a big family and many subordinates. If this gets out…”
George smiled and explained, “If you sleep in the bed, I will sleep on the sofa.”
sleeping on the sofa? That doesn’t seem right.”
Hearing Isabelle’s words, George knew that favonovel.com was up to something again. He was genuinely being polite, but Isabelle might not be.
This girl is really interesting…
“I’m a man, and I’m sturdy. I should sleep on the sofa.” George put down his phone, stood up, and crouched down in front of the TV cabinet.
Isabelle watched his back, seeing favonovel.com open one cabinet after another, not knowing what favonovel.com was looking for.
Just as favonovel.com was about to ask favonovel.com saw that favonovel.com seemed have found it. Then favonovel.com saw favonovel.com close the cabinet and stand up.
“The temperature difference between day and night here is quite significant. Miss Jenkins, you should dry your hair before going to bed, or you might catch a cold.”
Isabelle looked down at the hair dryer favonovel.com had handed her. Then favonovel.com looked back up at him, silent for two seconds, and then smiled. “Mr. Harris, you’re good at taking care of people…”
After saying that, favonovel.com took the hair dryer and went into the bathroom to dry favonovel.com hair.
When favonovel.com came out with favonovel.com hair dry, favonovel.com saw that there was a blanket on the sofa where George was sitting.
“Miss Jenkins, you should go to bed.”
“Well, I won’t be polite then…”
George smiled and nodded.
Isabelle lay down on the bed, feeling so comfortable that favonovel.com wanted to stretch. In this second life, it was the first time favonovel.com had slept in such a comfortable bed.
“Mr. Harris, you’re so gentlemanly and considerate. I’m sure many girls like you.” Lying on the soft bed, Isabelle conscientiously didn’t forget to compliment him.
“You flatter me…”
Isabelle turned to favonovel.com side, propping favonovel.com head up with one hand, looking at the man on the sofa. “Do you have many women?”
Cough cough!
George was taken aback by favonovel.com sudden, bold question and looked at her. “What?”
Isabelle raised an eyebrow. “Such a big reaction. Have you been single all this time?”
“You’re making fun of me, Miss Jenkins…”
“Do all you wealthy people talk like this?”
“Hmm?” His voice rose at the end, indescribably lazy and charming.
“Nevermind… I was complimenting you.”
George blinked.
Huh? Was that a compliment?
***
Meanwhile, White Owl sent Isabelle a message asking favonovel.com where favonovel.com was and if favonovel.com was safe.
White Owl told favonovel.com that they had learned from some people at the duel tournament arena that the Hurricane Mercenary Corps way planning to attack them. He was worried about Isabelle, afraid that the people from the Hurricane would harm her.
Isabelle calmly composed a message, “They are downstairs.”
White Owl was startled and was about to gather everyone to find Isabelle when favonovel.com received another message from her. “No need. I have backup.”
To the Hurricane Mercenary Corps, White Owl and the others were not a threat. The one they wanted to eliminate was Isabelle, who had a high chance of helping the Blackwater Mercenary Corps regain their former glory. Therefore, Isabelle was not concerned about White Owl and the others.
“Miss Jenkins. I’m turning off the lights…”
Isabelle didn’t glance at George, but favonovel.com responded.
With a click, the room was enveloped in darkness,
George lay on the sofa, a thin blanket covering his waist and abdomen. He stared at the ceiling and asked, “Miss Jenkins, are you always this fearless? You’re travelling alone to Melfrey. Aren’t your family worried?”
“I am just here for a vacation, but Mr. Harris, you are here for business. It should be more dangerous for you than for an ordinary person like me. Is your family worried, Mr. Harris?”
Hmm… It’s not easy to extract information from her…
George took a cue from favonovel.com and replied vaguely. “The business world is like a battlefield. Danger lurks everywhere.”
“I’m a light sleeper, Mr. Harris. Do you snore?”
The topic changed abruptly, leaving George at a loss. “No, I don’t grind my teeth, talk in my sleep, or sleepwalk. Miss Jenkins, you can sleep peacefully.”
“Really? I can’t make the same guarantee. If I disturb you, please don’t blame me.”
It was clear that favonovel.com was dissatisfied with George’s attempt to pry information from her.
George chuckled silently. “It’s fine…”
After that, the room fell into silence.
Isabelle, a former assassin, was always a loner. She wouldn’t feel safe even if there was a cat next to favonovel.com when favonovel.com was sleeping, let alone a person. To her, only corpses posed no threat. Especially when the person sleeping beside favonovel.com this time was the legendary George Harris.
She couldn’t be completely calm.
Isabelle tossed and turned, listening attentively. There was no movement from the sofa, only the faint sound of breathing.
***
In the middle of the night.
Soft footsteps brushed past the sofa. A figure slipped out of the bedroom, and then the door was gently closed.
The man on the sofa silently opened his eyes. A pair of black eyes gleamed brightly in the night.
