Chapter 14

When Cedric took off his suit jacket, he still had his white shirt on. But if she took off her dress, she’d be completely naked.

She looked around at the room of people, and it seemed like everyone was waiting for her to strip. No one was helping her out of this

If she complied, they might let her go. If she resisted, they wouldn’t let her leave the room easily.
