Chapter 84\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna tried to slam the door shut with all her might, but she was no match for Clayton. The two of them were locked in a stalemate for more than ten seconds before Sienna finally gave in and let him inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hugging the clothes to her chest, she hid behind the folding screen and warned him sternly, \u201cNo peeking. I\u2019ll really give you a good smack if you do.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton didn\u2019t move from where he stood, his tone teasing. \u201cDo I really need to peek? If I want to look, I usually do it openly and honestly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
From behind the screen came the soft rustling of fabric.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna was changing into a white knitted sweater and a black skirt. She quickly slipped out of the dirty dress and put on a camisole and the skirt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just as she was about to pull the sweater on, she heard Clayton call from outside, \u201cDo you want me to help, clumsy girl?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re the clumsy one! I absolutely do not need your help!\u201d she snapped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Flustered and distracted, she grabbed the sweater and shoved it forcefully over her head, only to end up putting her head through a sleeve.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her head got stuck in the narrow sleeve\u2019s opening. The knitted fabric pressed over her face. She tugged hard, but the more she struggled, the tighter it became, and she found it increasingly difficult to breathe.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re still not done?\u201d Clayton urged from outside. \u201cAre you planning to knit a new sweater in there? Even a snail changes its shell faster than you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna didn\u2019t respond. She tried to free herself, yanking at the sweater several times, but it wouldn\u2019t budge. She was already drenched in sweat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton\u2019s footsteps drew closer. \u201cYou didn\u2019t faint from low blood sugar just changing clothes, did you? You never listen when I tell you to eat breakfast.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t faint\u2026\u201d Sienna\u2019s face was flushed red as she finally forced out the words through clenched teeth, \u201cHurry up and help me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton walked around the screen. The sight before him was irresistibly funny.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna had her head stuffed into a bulging sweater sleeve, making her look exactly like a trapped silkworm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Instead of helping right away, he drawled lazily, \u201cWhat is this, a magic show? The famous head\u2013disappearing act? I don\u2019t think you should work as some assistant on that lousy film set anymore. I\u2019ll help you contact a circus.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStop talking nonsense!\u201d Her muffled voice came from inside the sweater.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2013I can\u2019t breathe\u2026\u201d she continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Only then did Clayton reach out and carefully free her head from the sweater. \u201cSee, I told you you\u2019re clumsy. Your brainpower is as narrow as this sleeve opening.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna was finally free. Her hair had turned into a complete mess, with several stray strands sticking up comically. Her cheeks were flushed red from lack of oxygen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton dangled the sweater in front of her. \u201cWant me to help you put it on? This is the neckline. You\u2019re really something. How did you even mess that up?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna snatched the sweater back and finally put it on properly this time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s all because you kept nagging outside and messed up my judgment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 84\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere you go again, dumping the blame on me. You\u2019re amazing at shifting blame,\u201d Clayton said, reaching out to smooth her frizzy hair.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Having slipped up badly this time, Sienna had endured Clayton laughing at her so much that she had no strength left to argue back\u00a0<\/p>\n
She turned to leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, she hadn\u2019t taken more than a few steps when the lounge door was suddenly pushed open.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What came into view was a man and a woman stumbling in, kissing passionately, accompanied by suggestive sounds.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMmm\u2026 not here,\u201d the woman murmured in a voice sweet enough to drip with honey.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna\u2019s eyes flew wide open in shock.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She knew that voice all too well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you afraid of?\u201d The man chuckled softly, his voice slightly hoarse. \u201cEveryone\u2019s gone back to the banquet hall. You didn\u2019t seem this shy when you were seducing me in the corridor earlier.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna sucked in a sharp breath. The moment she saw them, she instinctively grabbed Clayton\u2019s arm and ducked onto the\u00a0<\/p>\n
balcony.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was her first time witnessing such a scene up close.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her heart pounded wildly with nerves.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she looked up, she met Clayton\u2019s smiling eyes. She wondered what he was smiling about and shot him a silent glare before suddenly realizing something\u2013she was hiding as though she was guilty.\u00a0<\/p>\n
