Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1465

"But... I really can't pretend nothing has happened, even if you want me to," Josh Batton said truthfully.

"What's so hard about it? Josh... You don't have to be this way. Alright... Let's clean up. We've got to get to work," Annabeth Cates said seriously.

After that, Annabeth carefully patted Josh on the shoulder nonchalantly. "Alright... Stop whining. I'm a woman, and I'm not even whining. So why are you, a grown man, whining? "Besides, I don't think I've lost anything from sleeping with a top-notch celebrity... So many people would line up to sleep with you..." Annabeth continued to speak consolingly. "Do you really think that way?" Josh seemed shocked.

Josh didn't think a traditional girl like Annabeth would have thoughts like this.

Annabeth shrugged nonchalantly. "Yeah... That's what I think. Let's both stop thinking about it. Stay calm. Just pretend nothing happened. It'll be fine..."

Josh shook his head helplessly. "It's already happened. How can I pretend as if nothing has happened?"

"Whatever it is, I'll pretend that I know nothing about it..." Annabeth said.

After that, Annabeth slowly picked up her clothes and put them on in a frenzy. She then quickly walked into the bathroom before leaning against the door. After that, she carefully locked the door... As soon as the door was locked, Annabeth's facial expression became sullen...

'Annabeth Cates, you did the right thing... Josh won't be happy with someone like you...' She closed her eyes and thought hard to herself.

'You really don't deserve him!' Then, after murmuring to herself in her heart, Annabeth walked over to the basin and started brushing her teeth.

Meanwhile, Josh was still thinking about the matter inside the room.

No matter what, Josh didn't want all of this resolved as simply as Annabeth had wanted it to.

Even if she didn't want anything, Josh would still give her what he'd promised.

In the next second, Josh's gaze unintentionally landed on the spot where Annabeth was lying earlier...

A patch of bright, red-colored blood came into sight.

It constantly reminded him that he had ruined a good girl's first time.

Although Annabeth also behaved like that because she smelled the scent, Annabeth suffered more between them.

After cleaning herself up, Annabeth slowly returned to the bedroom. She pretended as if she didn't care at all while she looked at Josh, deep in thought. "Josh... What would you like for breakfast? Shall I cook for you? Or should we order in?"

"I've already ordered food. Let's eat together later," Josh said with a smile.

Annabeth nodded slowly. "In that case, I'll go back to my room to pack up."

"Alright..." Josh answered softly.

"You... Remember to cover up the stuff on your body... Otherwise, rumors will be all over the place..." Annabeth pointed at the scratch marks on Josh's body as she spoke.

Josh nodded. After that, he subconsciously looked down at the marks on his body.

Annabeth quickly left Josh's room...

Once they were done with breakfast, Annabeth led Josh and a group of bodyguards into a luxury van as if nothing happened. Then, they headed toward Goldfield Plaza. To show her nonchalance, Annabeth sat next to Josh as usual.
