“Tsk!” Thomas sneered disdainfully and tore the letter into pieces before throwing it into the trash bin. I’ll go to Green Lake Manor, but not at this moment, and certainly not tomorrow night. He was not foolish enough to go exactly when the other party had specified.
Grabbing a broom, he prepared to clean up the shattered glass on the floor. At that moment, Olivia came downstairs. “W-What happened? How did the window break?”
“It’s nothing. Don’t worry. We’ll get the property management to fix it tomorrow.”
“Okay, give me the broom. I’ll sweep it up,” she said and reached out to take the broom from Thomas’ hand. How can a grown man do such a thing? Cleaning the room is supposed to be women’s work.
“No need. I’ll do it.” He did not adhere to any gender stereotypes. It was just a matter of sweeping the floor, so he was perfectly capable of doing it himself.
“Come on! You’re a man!” She stepped forward, determined to snatch the broom from his hand. As her attention was on the broom, she failed to notice the glass shards beneath her feet. Unintentionally, she stepped on a piece of broken glass. “Ah!” She immediately lost her balance and fell backward.
Disregarding the task of sweeping, Thomas immediately tossed the broom aside and swiftly caught her by her slender waist.
Smooch!
His grip was stronger than intended as he pulled her back from falling. In the next second, their lips accidentally collided. At that moment, they froze, finding themselves in proximity and gazing into each other’s eyes. The sound of their heartbeats resonated distinctly, as if time had momentarily frozen in this very moment.
