Chapter 121
Vincent's senses were captivated by the delicate scent. The thoughts of Tiffany stirred something within him.
Kelly sensed it and was pleased. As she leaned in for a kiss, Vincent surprisingly pulled away.
"Could you bring me your shower gel?" he asked.
Kelly fell silent for a moment.
Seeing her hesitation, Vincent tossed aside his jacket and said, "Don't worry, I can grab it myself."
"Mr. Lewis..." Kelly said, her voice quivering.
However, Vincent had already left the room and was making his way to her bedroom.
Kelly followed after him and found Vincent in the bathroom, holding the bottle of shower gel. His gaze was distant and contemplative.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
"Mr. Lewis..." Kelly's voice trailed off.
Vincent turned to her, asking, "What made you suddenly decide to use this?"
Kelly bit her lip. "Tiffany recommended it to me. She said it's good, so I thought I'd give it a try."
Knowing Vincent had spent nights at Tiffany's dorm, Kelly felt there was no need to conceal it. Besides, she had no intention of hiding anything, so she brought up Tiffany.
As expected, Vincent's expression softened upon hearing her explanation. However, he continued to gaze at the bottle with a hint of displeasure.
Kelly spoke up cautiously, "Well, this one's actually quite cheap. If you don't like it, I won't use it again..."
There was a brief silence before Vincent set down the shower gel. "It's alright."
And with that, he left Kelly's bedroom.
Watching another attempt fail, Kelly gritted her teeth in frustration.
She grabbed the bottle of shower gel, her mind racing. Vincent was
clearly aroused, which Sh
the
product still worked. So why did he react to it but not to her?
The answer was painfully clear-she wasn't Tiffany.
Vincent's arousal was reserved solely for Tiffany.
She couldn't help but wonder if that meant everything she did would be pointless. Feeling really frustrated, Kelly needed someone to talk to, so she called Ivy.
During their chat, Kelly purposely shifted the conversation to Tiffany.
"Tiffany? She didn't come in today. Seems she called in sick to see a doctor."
"Sick? What's wrong with her?" Kelly asked.
Aware of Kelly's strained relationship with Tiffany, Ivy spilled the beans "I'm not entirely sure, but when Dr. Harvey examined her, Alex and Mandy were told to leave.
"It was just Dr. Harvey, Tiffany, and Mr. Lewis in the office. Shortly after, Tiffany hurried out. Mandy
mentioned it seemed like she ate something off and was throwing up quite a bit."
Kelly's shock was palpable. "Wait, what? Tiffany threw up?" she asked, disbelief coloring her tone.
"Yeah, that's what Mandy told me... But from Tiffany's reaction, it didn't seem like a simple case of food poisoning.
"She looked like she was dealing with something major. If you didn't know better, you'd think she had a serious illness," Ivy explained.
Ignoring her further explanations, Kelly hurriedly said, "It's late, Ivy. Get some rest. Goodnight."
She hung up right after.
The room fell silent, and Kelly's mind raced with worry.
After a moment, she regained her composure and dialed Brianna's number.
