Chapter 202 Who Helped Her?

With the other video clips as proof, the incident was solved without a further ado. Selena was grateful for all that Pierre had done for her. With her face flushed, she looked at him. He, too, looked back at her while panting. "Thank you," she said. "What for?"

"For replaceing that clip for me, of course! By the way, aren't you being coy? Instead of sending it to me only after you left the hotel, you could've just handed it to me in person. You didn't have to be so secretive about it."

Upon witnessing her excitement, he decided he shouldn't dampen her mood. In fact, he wasn't the one who found the clip. While he was also investigating the matter in order to help clear her name, he had yet to replace the clip. Meanwhile, he assumed that Selena found the clip on her own when he was watching the press conference, but it turned out that somebody was helping her out.

But who could it be? He couldn't help wondering. "I won't accept a verbal expression of your gratitude. Tonight..."

There was a blush on her face when he whispered into her ear. Then, she had her face against his chest. "Okay." Listening to the steady beating of his heart, she finally felt secure for the first time in a long while.

Ever since her mother passed away, she had lost her sense of security. Back when she was still in love with Finneas, she gave up her all for him. While she learned many lessons through that relationship, she was still feeling insecure, which was why she constantly tried to please him and his family.

During the past four years when she was abroad, she felt like being uprooted, as well as losing her sense of belonging. However, she finally regained a sense of security at this moment, which made her feel grounded.

That night, she gave Linda a call to tell the latter to bring Juniper over the next day, as she needed to carry out an important task between her and Pierre. After they enjoyed the dinner she made, she did the dishes. Her heart began racing as soon as she got out of the kitchen.

Other than the time during which she got pregnant with Juniper, she didn't have much experience in sex. Thus, she was beginning to regret agreeing to his request, as well as taking on an active role, as she figured that men should be taking the lead.

"What's the matter? Are you regretting your decision?" Pierre examined her while leaning against the sofa. "I am not! I... I'll go take a shower now! You can come up later!" With that, she rushed upstairs withou even looking up.

The sight of her fleeing from him in embarrassment made him chuckle. She's so adorable.

Although she left the tap in the shower running, she wasn't at all focused on showering, as she was trembling due to anxiety. What should I do? That was all she could think of, which made her drag out her shower. When she realized it was about time to get out, she decided with grim determination to go all out.

She stepped out of the shower in a bathrobe, then dried her hair as well as went through her nightly skincare routine. However, she figured she didn't need to put on makeup since Pierre had seen her without. After all was done, she sat on the bed waiting. Geez! Do I need to go fetch him downstairs? He's acting so coy now despite how eager he was before!

After waiting for a long while, Pierre was still nowhere in sight, which made her a little anxious. It wasn't until she went downstairs to replace him that she realized he wasn't in the living room. She had left her phone on the sofa as she was in such a hurry just now. When she retrieved it, she saw a message from him. 'Something urgent came up, so I have to go.'

Heaving a sigh, she sat down on the sofa while reading the message, all the while unsure how she should reply to that.
