Charlotte Thompson had no choice but to agree, feeling trapped.
After the unexpected kiss, she drowsily turned her face away, scrubbing her mouth fiercely with her thumb once she regained her senses, saying angrily, "Justin Battleson, you're a rogue!"
Justin gave her a playful look, a sliver of unfulfilled desire still visible in his eyes. He licked his lips, a seemingly ordinary action, yet it inexplicably made Charlotte's heart race faster.
Charlotte cleared her throat and turned her head uneasily away, her tone slightly awkward as she made a threat, "If something like this happens again…"
She gritted her teeth and said, "Then I will quit. I'm interested to see how you'll explain it to the Queen!"
At her words, Justin chuckled lightly. He reached out to touch her soft hair, his voice filled with indulgence as he said, "OK, it won't happen again next time."
He paused a little and then laughed, "So, Miss Thompson, can you agree to one more thing now?"
