Carlie resisted her more talking as Stanley was determined to risk his future. The priority for her was to keep a distance from him to avoid any involvement.
When thinking of the night that she stayed in Hilla's house, Carlie couldn't forget the show of affection between Hilla and Bruce. Hilla's identity was still a shock to Carlie.
Carlie was in a trance. She was considering collecting the dress that Hilla gave her in case of using it to show the intimacy between them.
"Since you know who's behind Hilla, take care of yourself when taking risks!"
When seeing the elevator door open, Carlie quickly walked out. She wanted nothing but to stay away from this hopeless man.
When Stanley saw Carlie's cowardly manner, a sneer climbed on his exquisite face. "How a secret lover frightens you so much!"
When hearing this, Carlie trembled. Shivers ran down her spine, urging her to quicken the pace. Not a second could be wasted.
She heard nothing.
