Chapter 234: Chapter 128: Geoffrey Plays Dirty 2
"I... I’m at an interview!"
"I just watched the news and found out there’s a typhoon coming today... It’s already raining, and the weather might get worse. You should take a cab back now and not attend the interview. I’m worried about you being alone out there."
"Oh, a typhoon?"
"Yeah, don’t get caught in the rain!"
"Alright, alright, I’m on my way back right now!"
Ending the call, Rebecca Quentin put her phone into her bag. She was about to tell Howard Geoffrey about the typhoon when she saw him pulling the car into a roadside motel.
"What are we doing here?"
Howard Geoffrey stopped the car and glanced at Rebecca Quentin’s wet body, "Are you planning to go home like this?"
Noticing Howard Geoffrey’s gaze fixed on her upper body, Rebecca Quentin immediately hugged herself.
When she answered the call earlier, she had forgotten about her wet shirt, and now, trying to cover it up in front of Howard, it was clearly too late.
Seeing Rebecca Quentin’s slightly flushed face, Howard Geoffrey didn’t let her feel awkward but pretended not to notice. "Take a shower and change clothes here, and I’ll take you home later."
Rebecca Quentin replied, "No need, just take me home directly!"
"You’ll get sick like this." She had just had a baby and was already weak; if she got sick, it would certainly affect her condition in the future.
"I’ll be fine..."
As soon as Rebecca Quentin finished speaking, she sneezed twice in a row.
Howard Geoffrey had already gotten out of the car and fetched a suit jacket from the back seat.
Those sneezes scared Rebecca Quentin. The drive back would take more than an hour, and if she really fell ill, she wouldn’t be able to take care of her child, which would be unacceptable!
Considering her condition, Rebecca Quentin reluctantly got out of the car with Howard Geoffrey.
As soon as she stepped out, her shoulders were covered with Howard Geoffrey’s suit jacket...
The large suit jacket not only brought her warmth but also conveniently covered her transparent shirt.
Quite naturally, Howard Geoffrey wrapped his arm around Rebecca Quentin’s waist and walked towards the motel in the rain.
The motel staff noticed them and immediately came over with an umbrella...
Upon entering the motel, the front desk lady saw Howard Geoffrey and instantly looked starstruck, offering attentive service, "Sir, how may I assist you?"
Howard Geoffrey glanced at Rebecca Quentin, who had distanced herself, quietly standing aside, straightening her clothes as if wanting no association with him, and beckoned the front desk lady with his finger.
The front desk lady, seeing a handsome guy gesture and noting Howard Geoffrey’s distinguished demeanor, immediately approached him.
"Is there only one room left in your motel?"
The clueless front desk lady answered truthfully, "No, because there’s a typhoon today, not many tourists have come here, so many rooms are vacant!"
Howard Geoffrey cast a glance at Rebecca Quentin, who was still fixing her clothes on the left. The front desk lady finally caught on, nodding, "Yes, only one room left." She deliberately raised her voice when saying that.
Rebecca Quentin, who was adjusting her clothes, heard the front desk lady’s announcement and sharply looked over.
Noticing Rebecca Quentin’s nervous gaze, Howard Geoffrey acted nonchalant, a slight unease naturally showing on his face, "Uh, it’s indeed a bit troublesome... Well, one room then!"
The front desk lady nodded, "Okay."
Rebecca Quentin walked over, frowning at Howard Geoffrey, "Just one room? Let’s just go home!"
"We’re not staying here overnight, just taking a shower and changing clothes. Do you want two rooms just for that?" Howard Geoffrey intentionally spoke with extreme ambiguity in front of the lover.
Rebecca Quentin’s cheeks instantly flushed, retorting, "Whatever you want!"
Entering the motel room, the heater was turned on, and Rebecca Quentin immediately felt the chill dissipate.
Howard Geoffrey tossed the car keys and other items onto the table, then started undoing his shirt buttons.
His clothes were also wet, but unlike her, beneath the soaked shirt was his muscular physique.
Seeing him unbutton his shirt, Rebecca Quentin hurriedly said, "I want to shower first."
Howard Geoffrey glanced at Rebecca Quentin and shrugged indifferently, "Of course!"
Rebecca Quentin turned and headed to the bathroom, but just as she was about to enter, she suddenly said, "I don’t have a change of clothes."
Howard Geoffrey went to the wardrobe in the motel room and handed her a clean robe from inside, "Wear this for now. I’ve already asked the motel staff to buy some clothes for you."
After a long silence, Rebecca Quentin finally said, "Thank you."
"Go on, don’t catch a cold."
