Evelyn Linton lost her appetite, put down her chopsticks, and rushed out of the room, originally full of confidence, but as soon as she dashed out, she saw Scott Sutton coming up the stairs.
Scott paused and stood at the second-floor landing, looking at Evelyn with a friendly yet puzzled expression.
Evelyn inexplicably felt intimidated and stood at the doorway, smiling at Scott, "...It’s nothing, nothing, you carry on."
Scott thoughtfully continued to his room.
Evelyn and Belle huddled at the door, watching Scott’s back.
Belle whispered, "Look at the way he walks, how does that look like a woman to you? Just because he has long hair doesn’t an he’s female."
With that thought planted in Evelyn’s mind, the more she looked, the more Scott seed unlike a woman.
Watching Scott about to close the door to his room, Evelyn bit her lip and boldly called out, "Wait a minute!"
Scott paused his door-closing motion, looked at Evelyn running towards him, and without a word, slipped into his room and shut the door.
Before Scott understood what Evelyn intended, Evelyn blocked him against the door and reached to unzip his jacket.
Both froze imdiately, ti seed to stop at that mont, silence lingered for several seconds, then Evelyn’s gaze finally moved from Scott’s Adam’s apple as she frowned and questioned, "Why did you deceive ?! What are you really up to?!"
Scott, seeing his secret exposed, ceased pretending, showing no sign of guilt, and retorted to Evelyn, "What did I deceive you about?"
Hearing Scott speak for the first ti, Evelyn felt furious, "You pretended to be mute and claid to be a woman—you’re deceiving !"
Scott raised an eyebrow and said casually, "I never said I was a woman nor claid to be mute, I just didn’t want to talk due to a sore throat."
"You!" Evelyn was so angry she was speechless, tired of arguing, she simply pointed outside and said, "Then move out imdiately!"
Scott replied, "We signed a contract, I rember there was a clause about either party breaching it should pay the other 50,000 dollars in damages."
Evelyn now recalled, this guy must have planned it all along, having insisted that clause be added himself!
At the ti, she thought Scott might have experienced a lease breach before, so he was being cautious, she never imagined he had ulterior motives!
Fuming, Evelyn contested, "But the ad specified only females for roommates! You were deceptive from the start, so the contract is void!"
Scott replied, "Oh? Do you have a copy of that ad? Show if it says that, otherwise, I can claim you fabricated lies. Besides, ads don’t hold up as evidence. The contract states my real information—I didn’t deceive you, a misunderstanding arose, and both you and I signed it, making it legally binding. So, Miss Linton, are you willing to pay the 50,000 dollars for breach of contract?"
Evelyn squinted at him, "Is this your goal? You set up just to get the breach paynt, didn’t you?"
Scott smiled warmly, saying, "You could choose to let stay till the contract ends, then you’ll have the right to kick out."
Evelyn still felt uneasy, pressing on, "What’s your real intention? Your family is wealthy, why rent my place?!"
Scott responded seriously, "I do business nearby and simply need temporary accommodation, I saw your ad, so it’s mutually beneficial."
Evelyn skeptical, eyed Scott, convinced this suspicious man had a ulterior motives.
But the Suttons aren’t short on money, and he doesn’t look like soone after wealth.
Could he be... after love?
With that thought, Evelyn looked down at her camisole, feeling startled, and quickly crossed her arms over her body.
Scott gently remarked, "Oh, already had a good look."
Evelyn blushed deeply, gritted her teeth, and said, "Do you believe I won’t call the police on you?!"
Scott calmly replied, "According to the Public Security Administration Punishnts Law, Article 25, false reporting is punishable by five to ten days’ detention, and..."
Evelyn was exasperated, "What are you really after?!"
Scott checked his watch, smiling, "It’s already eight o’clock."
Evelyn hesitated for two seconds but decided earning money was more important.
Covering her chest, she pushed Scott aside, twisted the door handle, and said fiercely, "I’ll deal with you after my live stream!"
Scott nodded, "I’ll wait."
Evelyn glared, turning to see sothing beside Scott’s bed, quickly headed back into the room.
Scott stood by the door, watching Evelyn walk to the bedside, snatched the pajama she gave Scott yesterday, stord out.
Leaving, she shot Scott several angry glares, ready to settle scores.
Scott, unfazed and still at ease, casually returned to his room, feeling relieved he didn’t have to hide his identity.
Being silent was truly uncomfortable.
He soaked in the bath while watching Evelyn’s live stream.
Because she’d been delayed changing and getting ready, Belle took over for a few minutes, then Evelyn appeared on cara.
The girl was professional, despite their heated argunt, she was lively and cheerful streaming, not letting private emotions affect her work.
Belle spoke even more effortlessly than Evelyn, like she had morized a script while introducing clothing.
With Belle helping to set the mood, Evelyn seed more at ease, clearly, they’ve been partnering a long ti and had established a good rapport.
The broadcast featured won’s clothing, Scott felt uninvolved, in his leisure, topped up several thousand dollars in his account and gifted Evelyn with all the unfamiliar gifts in the streaming room.
