Chapter 195

Moira buried her head. “Can you please go ahead, Mr. Covington?”

She was usually quite sharp, so why did she turn into a clumsy penguin whenever she was around Barclay?

“If you keep squatting like this, you might feel dizzy when you stand up later,” Barclay said.

Moira stayed silent. Alright, her life was more important.

Moira decided to break the ice. She released the embrace around herself and looked up at Barclay. “Mr. Covington, do you think I’m like a clumsy penguin?”

Barclay replied, “No.”

Moira secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could even fully relax, she heard him speak again. “More like a clumsy rabbit.”
