A Very Helpful Junior
It’s funny that Marika easily crumbled like that. But thinking about it, it must be truly bizarre for her. Asking her to kiss me out of nowhere, I would be doubting her naivety if she accepted it so easily.
Nonetheless, that phrase finally allowed me to take control of this situation.
I put on a gentle smile and slowly pulled her back close to me. In this case, she also had no control over it.
Although she backed away reflexively, she actually failed to completely extract herself from me. I mean, with how close we were, she had to use her feet to support her. And with one of them locked in my grasp on top of my lap, it became impossible for her. Unless I let her go willingly or I back away voluntarily, we’ll never get out of this daring situation.
Anyway, I also kept an eye out for those men in suits outside. Given that they hadn’t reacted, there was no bug for them to listen in.
