Amanda Smith had just closed the door when Samuel Johnson kicked it open.
"You…" Amanda startled, took a step back, and looked at the man in front of her with a face full of fury, somewhat bewildered.
Not having seen each other for seven days, their reunion now brought a touch of awkwardness to her heart.
Samuel Johnson stared at Amanda for a while, feeling that the scent coming off her was all wrong.
The clothes she wore were ones he had never seen before—most likely bought by Evan Willow for her. The fragrance of her body wash was also different from the one at home, which made him very uncomfortable.
It was as if something of his own had been tainted by someone else.
Amanda felt the man at the door giving her a thorough once-over, his gaze so piercing that it terrified her.
She pursed her lips and said softly, "Samuel, is there something wrong?"
Samuel Johnson took a step forward and casually closed the door.
The "click" of the door latch had Amanda's heart hanging high.
