Chapter 12: We should Keep Our Distance

She hung her head and took it with a "thank you", but her face instantly blushed when she saw the bra
in it.

Without speaking, Paul pointed at the bathroom.

Amy went inside and took off her wet clothes.

The clothes fit well and the fabric was very nice, soft and cool, probably not cheap.

She had heard of the brand of the bra.

It was an international brand, and the one Paul gave her was about three thousand bucks.

She had made a lot of money in college, but she spent all of it on her grandmother.

Luckily, Jack had given her 40,000 dollars.

She didn't know if it would be enough to buy this outfit.

After putting them on, she took a deep breath and collect herself to avoid further misbehavior.

When she opened the door, Paul was still outside.

He held a cup of coffee and flipped through the documents in his hand with his head down.

"Sir ‘ Amy called out.

Paul raised his head.

His gaze lingered on her for a moment and continued to read the documents in his hand.

Amy was a little embarrassed.



Luckily, she saw her bag nearby.

It seemed that he had brought it in.

‘He is a cold yet nice man” She sighed in relief and took the card out of her bag.

"Here's forty thousand.I don't know if it's enough to buy the suit.Thank you for your help."

She said it with sincerity, placing the card on the bed.

"Take it away.’’ Paul closed the paperwork and looked at her.

Amy blushed again.

She knew he was not short of money, but she only had that much.

That black card was given by her husband.

It would not be appropriate for her to give it to him.

"If it's not enough.I'll make it up to you later.I don't know how much the suit costs.I'll give you the rest in
the future."

She had been hired by the Grand Group and could make up for it when she got paid.

Paul's eyes were deep and dark.

Somehow, he chuckled.

"Tim," he called out.

Tim, who was standing outside the door, entered in a hurry.



"Lead her to her room.’ Tim nodded and made a gesture of invitation towards Amy.

Amy bit her lips in confusion.She followed Tim to the next room.

"You may rest here tonight."

Tim was kind and polite to her.

Amy took a look at the room.

It was similar to the man's room, all in a low luxury style.

It didn't seem that there was a hostess here.

She thanked Tim, then closed the door and sat on the bed.

‘If I don't go home tonight, Rachel won't let me go” Amy was upset and was just about to lie down to
rest when she heard a woman's voice from outside the door.

Awoman who wasn't supposed to be here.

"Brother! I heard you brought a woman back.Did you decide to dump that stupid village girl?" Laura's
voice was excited.

Knowing that her brother had brought a woman back, she immediately drove over.

Amy's heart instantly clenched.

‘Laura?’

‘If she knows that I'm here, I won't live a happy life in the future” Amy completely lost all her sleepiness.

She didn't even hear exactly what Laura said.



Just upon hearing her voice, she became panicked.

"Brother, say something.Open the door.The bodyguard at the door told me everything.If you don't say
anything, I'll find that woman.If she is nice, I'll go home and throw that silly girl out!"

Laura's footsteps sounded in the hallway.

It seemed that she was coming to Amy's room.

Amy was so scared that her heart was shaking.

She couldn't go out now, or she would meet Laura.

Her mind went blank.

Then she went to the window in a panic.

It was about two stories above the ground, so even if she jumped, she would only be injured at most.

"Laura.Paul's voice sounded outside, but Laura was already standing at the door of Amy's room,
raising her eyebrows complacently.

"She is there, isn't she? I'd like to see which beautiful woman can let you hide like this."

Before Paul could stop her, the door had been opened.

It turned out that Amy had forgotten to close it.

"Huh?"

Laura looked around the room, seeing no one at all.

She opened the closet in disbelief and checked the bathroom, but still found no one.



"It's weird.I heard that there was a woman here."

Paul then entered the room and frowned when he saw her checking around.

"Get out"

He stared at Laura with some anger in his eyes.

Laura swallowed and said, "I'm just curious about who that woman is.Why are you so serious? Are you
going to beat me up?"

She had been spoiled since she was a child, and had never experienced such aggression, so when
she saw Paul looking at herself angrily, her eyes instantly turned red.

Paul walked into the room.

When noticing the open window, he lowered his head to hide the cold light under his eyes.

Laura was still sobbing.

"I'll have Tim take you back."

Laura instantly became excited, but when she met his eyes, all the anger disappeared.

"Oh."

A glint of happiness flashed across Tim's eyes as he led Laura downstairs.

Tim stood there for a moment and walked towards the window.

He sighed, very softly.



There was a complicated feeling spreading in his heart that he had never had since he was born.

He went to the outside and called out softly, "Amy:"

There was a rustle in the grass next to him, and Amy poked her head out, with several leaves in her
hair.

She limped out.

"Are you that afraid of her?"

He'd heard about her excellent interview, so he had thought she should be brave and confident.

"She's the lady of the Howard Family, the apple in her parents’ eyes.I just married her brother, so if she
knew I was sleeping here, she'd punish me severely.’ Amy sprained her ankle when she jumped down.

She was relieved to know that Laura had gone.

The first thing she had to learn in the Howard Family was to know the time of day.

Paul glanced at her crippled foot and reached out his hand, "Hold me."

Unexpectedly, Amy took a big step backward and was a bit terrified.

"Sir, now that you are a member of the Howard Family, you should know that I am married.I stay here
tonight because I have no other choice.We should keep our distance.I don't want to be gossiped about
or betray my husband."

‘‘Stupid girl, you still don't know that I'm your husband?’’
