Kimberly held the signed contract in her hand. For some reason, she felt as if she had sold herself away.

“Two copies.” James waved the contract in his hand. “Any other questions?”

Kimberly shook her head.

“Where are you going later? I’ll send you.” James made a small joke. “A gift for the newlywed couple?”

“Ah…” Kimberly thought about what her mother had said to her just now, and the word “Home” suddenly stuck in her mouth. After hesitating for a long time, she opened her mouth to thank him. “Thank you. Is there any hotel nearby? Also, I want to ask about the rent situation around here.”

“Hotel and rent?” When James heard these two words, he connected them to her unusual behavior today. It seemed that he had already pieced together the truth of the matter, but he did not mention it, he only patiently answered the other party, “There’s a four-star hotel nearby, but I don’t recommend it personally. As for the rent, it’s about 30,000 to 40,000 dollars a month.”

Kimberly counted the savings in her hand and found that she could barely rent for a year. She could only sigh regretfully, “Sure enough…”

“Are you going to rent an apartment nearby?”

“Yes, I should be independent too. First, I have to move out of my home.”

“I have to rent for about 450,000 dollars a year…”

“Rent?!” Kimberly asked in surprise. “Did you rent this?”

James, who was interrupted, didn’t expect her to be so excited. He nodded and admitted, “That’s right. Otherwise, I’m afraid I can’t afford it with my salary.”

“Then do you need a roommate? I saw that there was another room here just now!” The more Kimberly thought about it, the more excited she became, she held James’s wrists with both hands and explained to him sincerely, “Look, you can’t live in such a big house by yourself. I can even share the rent with you, and I can also…er…Cook and share my food with you?”

James chuckled. He twirled the ring on his left hand and sighed with interest, “You’re really interesting. You always surprise me.”

“Every time?” Kimberly was a little confused, she asked, “When? Although I think it’s unbelieveable to offer to share a room, it doesn’t seem that hard to understand… After all, this area is surrounded by entertainment companies and television stations. The geographical location is especially good.”

James did not directly respond to her question. Instead, he agreed to her request. “Sure, it only needs 100,000 dollars a year, because the remaining rooms are very small. But don’t you need to go and get some luggage?”

“I don’t want to go back today. I’ll order some takeout and send some clothes over.”

“No problem, I’ll go to my room first, make yourself comfortable.”

“Okay.”

Kimberly went to the door to pick up the clothes she had bought. After tidying up, she planned to look for James to ask for his account number so as to transfer the money to him.

“Knock, Knock.” Kimberly knocked on the door twice. “It’s me. Can I come in?”

She seemed to hear a faint sound. Subconsciously, she thought that it was a sign of consent, so she pushed the door open and went in.

“Ah…” Kimberly was shocked by the scene in front of her for a moment. She immediately turned her back. After a long time, she found her voice again. She stammered, “I’m…I’m sorry, I thought…”

Kimberly’s mind went blank. The words of explanation were stuck in her mouth and could not come out. She did not know why his fair, eight-pack abs kept swaying in her mind and that sexy mermaid line slid down his waist all the way to…

“Ahhhhh no.” Kimberly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. If she was not mistaken, James seemed to have just finished showering and was only wearing a pair of underwear..

“What?” James’s voice instantly startled Kimberly, who had just eased off, and she subconsciously slapped as she turned around.

This feeling…this muscle…Kimberly’s line of sight slowly slid down, only to see she herself slapping on his chest muscles, “Ah…hehe…you…you exercise really good…”

“Comfortable?” His voice was a little husky from the shower.

His eyelashes were slightly lowered as he looked at the small hand that was glued to his chest. It almost blended in with his own complexion, looking soft and white.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’ll leave now.” Kimberly immediately withdrew her hand. She wished she could find a hole to hide immediately. She ran to the bar counter and gulped down a glass of water in one go before she regained her senses.

However, his voice just now was also so hoarse and sexy. Kimberly covered her face in an attempt to hide her flushed cheeks.

Kimberly thought, “I can’t stand it, such thing happened on the first day of the stay. How to live in the future…”
