Chapter 1 Explanation

Dawn was near.

Myra An pushed the door open and quickly walked down the corridor in her high heels. Abruptly, she stumbled and nearly fell down.

Balancing against the wall, she calmed herself and walked more carefully.

In the soft light of the corridor, her face twisted in perplexity.

She didn't know how to process what had happened last night.

From confusion, tangled mood swings, and uneasiness at the beginning to such intense thrill and excitement later...

The man's face flashed through her mind again, and Myra An's heart beat faster.

His face had been really good-looking!

However, he was still a complete stranger for her!

How ridiculous!

She had been in love with Archer Qiao for seven years, and yet they hadn't even shared a kiss. But last night, she had sex with a man, a stranger she had never met!

Myra An didn't think herself a saint who couldn't make mistakes. But something that only happened in novels had happened to her now. How crazy it was!

However, that man had been truly handsome!

Not only did he have charming features, but also...

Myra An couldn't help licking her lips when she remembered the pleasure, and she walked unthinkingly up to the elevator. The elevator door slid open with a tinkle.

"Myra?" "Sister!"

A man and a woman stepped off the elevator and walked quickly to Myra An.

She was quite familiar with the tall male figure.

Archer Qiao, the man she was supposed to be engaged to last night, was dressed in a black suit.

With his eyes fixed on her, his normally calm face was now clouded by tension and confusion. "Myra, you are actually here—"

But before he finished speaking, Archer Qiao's eyes caught sight of something, and he gazed down from Myra's face.

She wore a long champagne silk dress, which was somewhat conservative but elegant. Her long neck was left exposed, and her fair skin was marked by suspiciously red signs, left there by last night's adventure.

Archer Qiao's eyes suddenly widened, and he took a step closer to her. "What, what did you do? What happened?"

"Ah!" The woman who had walked with Archer, Myra's half-sister, Lydia An, seemed to noticed the marks as well. She called out in a hurry and pointed at Myra's neck. "Sister! Were... Were you with another man...?"

The rest of her meaning was self-evident.

Myra glanced at her with a feeling of disgust. For the time being, she didn't want to entertain her question. She simply stared coldly at Archer's suspicious eyes.

But before she could offer an explanation, Lydia An scolded her in a loud voice, "Sister! How could you do this to Archer? Last night was your engagement party! How could you betray him at this point?"

Myra's face darkened. The bitch was too good at slinging accusations first! A sneer threading its way to her lips, Myra cocked an eyebrow and asked sarcastically, "Who did you say has betrayed whom?"

"You, you… How dare you even ask!"

Lydia An looked at her in disbelief. She knew that Myra had always been calm and decisive, but she was surprised that she could remain so calm even when she had been caught out after sleeping with that greasy, bald, old man she hated!

Her attitude was not what Lydia An had expected!

What she had desired to see was Myra's miserable look after her arrogance was destroyed, and she wanted to finally see her lose her dignity after such humiliation.

But why had this not happened? She still remained as cold and arrogant as before!

Puzzled, Lydia flashed an aggrieved look on her face. She raised her head and glanced imploringly at Archer. Her big black eyes seemed as harmless as a deer's.

The needy expression in her eyes successfully aroused Archer's desire to protect her. He turned to face Myra with malicious eyes.

"Myra, what do you mean? Lydia has been here with me, looking for you the whole night. She and I have been worried about you! It was confusing for us to hear that someone saw you up here. We rushed over immediately, but now we find you here with your shameless look! You don't care to explain yourself but think that you did nothing wrong? Tell me! Where did those marks on your neck come from?"

Myra sneered, "Explain? Why don't you explain yourself first? What the hell is going on between you two? Huh?"
