Chapter 27 The VP
Instantly, Melody moved away from my thigh, and a wave of numbness washed over my leg; I collapsed onto the floor.
Maintaining the same position for so long had taken its toll.
Seeing me on the floor, Melody gasped. "What’s wrong with you?"
"Melody, my legs are numb!"
I managed a smile. "Don’t worry. I’ll be fine in a moment!"
Her face was flushed, her eyes glazed, but her expression was conflicted, as if she was debating whether to help me up.
In moments like these, it was best to remain silent. Whether male or female, everyone possessed a protective instinct!
I wanted her to feel indebted to me; only with a sense of debt could I proceed with my plan.
Once the numbness subsided, I stood up and called out. "What’s taking so long?"
"Just a bit more time, it’ll be ready soon!" I didn’t rush them.
I also subtly distanced myself from Melody. She frowned slightly, then relaxed. "Remember, I don’t want anyone else to know about what happened, understand?"
