Chapter 139: She has to give us a lead

"What lovebite?"

"No lovebite!"

"Mosquito bite. Okay, bye."

Sean panicked, bolting out of the office like a man on fire, leaving both Kalix and Winter blinking in stunned silence.

His footsteps echoed down the corridor, fast and frantic—more like an ostrich in full sprint, legs flailing as if he could outrun embarrassment itself.

Winter let out a scoff, equal parts amused and baffled. "Who even runs like that?"

But her amusement faded as her eyes snapped back to the real culprit—the man she had stormed in to scold.

"You scared him, Angel." Kalix's voice was maddeningly calm, casual even. "Who mentions a lovebite to a virgin like him?"

Her frown returned, hard and instant. She marched further into the office, heels clicking with purpose, stopping just shy of his desk.

"He won't be a virgin for long," she shot back coolly. "I'm sure that was a lovebite… courtesy of a certain female mosquito I like to call Gina."
