Love beyond the mask (Whitney)

Chapter 8

That was because someone else had made her change!

Whitney tried to shift her angle slightly, but the man suddenly grunted and growled, “Be careful, or your

face might touch something.”

Whitney stiffened, her cheeks blazing.

He began to pull the towel from her back, gently easing her off him.

Whitney sat to the side, covering her eyes, panting. “Okay, are you decent now?”

Looking at her flushed appearance, the man hooked the corner of his lips in a faint smile.

“Stand up slowly,” he advised, not wanting her to stumble again.

Seeing him wrapped in the towel once more, Whitney dared to open her eyes. The man seemed oddly

Looking at his perfectly sculpted features, Whitney remembered the purpose of her visit. “Hey, are you

the owner of Imperial Gem Corporation, Mr. Lippert?”

“And who might you be?” He asked, towering above her with an air of indifference as if he did not know

“Ah, you creep.”

With cheeks flushed and indignation bubbling within her, Whitney bolted for the door!

Watching her flee with such grace and beauty, the onlookers outside were left with agape jaws.

And then, they were all suddenly blinded by Ludwik!

Nolan quickly removed the shirt covering his eyes and turned to see the tall man with a mask emerge,

his curiosity piqued, “Ludwik! Why the sudden need for a disguise?”

“Who brought her in here?” Ludwik asked with a heavy tone.

Seeing Ludwik’s darkening expression, Nolan shivered and weakly raised his hand, “I… I brought

Whitney in…”

“You let her dress like that?”

“It was for you, Ludwik, to spice up the newlywed’s life!”
