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.

He paused for a moment and continued, “And you’re on the stairs right now. Can you guarantee that you won’t faint and fall later? What’s more important, saving face or your life?”

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

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.”
