Chapter 30 She Admits Her Mistake
Their eyes met.
Ranita couldn't help but swallow her saliva. The man had just finished showering and was onlywrapped in a bathrobe. Water droplets from his hair dripped onto his long neck and slid down thedefined muscles into the robe.
The scent of cedarwood filled the air.
Ranita's heart raced as if it were about to jump out of her throat! He was so close that she could seethe sharp bridge of his nose when he lowered his gaze. His hot breath brushed against her earlobe,making her skin tingle with heat, like she had been rubbed with chili oil - burning hot!
Even through two layers of fabric, Ranita could feel the warmth emanating from him! It felt like abundle of oily fire being poured over her body, leaving her mind blank and buzzing.
"Brendon... let go." Ranita's voice trembled uncontrollably.
She never expected Brendon to be in the room, let alone pinning her against the wall like this.
Brendon seemed surprised too. He stared at her for a few seconds with dark eyes before clearinghis throat coolly, "What are you doing here?"
Brendon was taken aback. He heard some noise coming from the room after he got out of thebathroom and thought it was one of their maids sneaking in there! But as soon as they made eyecontact, he recognized who it was right away.
He held onto Ranita's soft wrist tightly while wrapping himself around her body. The familiar warmthand scent invaded all his senses at once.
Brendon felt an inexplicable flame ignite within him that left him feeling parched. His deep-set eyesflickered with hidden emotions like an abyssal pool stirred by waves beneath its surface.
Ranita forced herself to explain, "I came back to pack my things. I'm sorry for disturbing you."
Her voice sounded cold now that things had turned sour again between them after meeting again sounexpectedly.
"I'll leave now..." She didn't finish speaking before Brendon tightened his grip on her wrist evenmore firmly.
"Why do you have to make things difficult for Shannon?" Brendon furrowed his brows deeply whilespeaking in an even colder tone than before.
Ranita's emotions were in turmoil, and she couldn't even feel the pain in her wrist anymore.
"Brendon, am I that disgraceful in your eyes?" she asked.
"So you're saying Shannon falsely accused you?" Brendon paused, his eyebrows furrowing evendeeper. "Shannon is gentle and kind-hearted. She wouldn't do something like this."novelbin
Ranita looked calmly at Brendon. After three years of hard work, she was no match for onesentence from Shannon!
She didn't see the point in arguing any further. "Brendon, since you've already made up your mindabout the outcome, let it be!" Ranita struggled to free her wrist and glared at him. "Please let go!"
"What do you mean 'let it be'?" Brendon's anger was starting to boil over as he pressed closer toher. "Is it really that hard for you to admit your mistake?"
"Admitting my mistake isn't hard," Ranita said firmly and directly with a hint of choking sadness inher voice and misty eyes due to grievance. This was the first time she had been so vulnerabledespite being composed when facing Brendon before. "But I won't apologize to Shannon because Idid nothing wrong."
"I saw it with my own eyes! Why are you still trying to deny it?" The coldness of his tone wasoppressive as veins bulged on his arm due to anger.
Ranita's back hit the wall as he approached her aggressively; amidst the icy chill spreading throughher body came a heart-wrenching ache.
She knew that if she didn't admit fault now, someone would never forgive or forget what happened.
A bitter smile flickered across Ranita's lips before fixing on him with a hoarse voice, "Brendon... I'mnot denying anything anymore. I admit my mistake... can you please let me go now?"
