Chapter42
Jeremiah had already reached the car and opened the passenger door for Paulette. She didn’t immediately close the door after getting in, but
instead leaned lazily against the car roof with one hand. “So, Ms. Davenport, how do you plan to thank me?”
Paulette looked up at him.

“I
This sentence just slipped out unconsciously.
Before I knew it, it was already too late.
Paulette bit her lip, totally clueless on how to salvage the situation.
Jeremiah’s face looked a bit unnatural for a moment, his Adam’s apple bobbing, and then he whispered, “To sleep with someone is to sleep with someone, this gratitude comes with a different price.”

Paulette really wanted to remind him that they were just living together, no need to be so serious.
You could see the expression on the man’s face, but then I couldn’t say it

“Okay, okay, okay.”
She promised, “I’m hungry and thirsty, I’ll definitely report to Mr. Swanson right away, okay?”
“Yeah, go ahead.” Jeremiah was quite satisfied with this answer, watching her walk into the hallway before driving away.
Solved a big problem, Paulette felt very relieved.
I went home, took a nice bath, and then just lounged on the couch eating snacks and watching movies.
