013 So Embarrassing

"Ugh, my waist..." Annie moaned softly, feeling like her waist was about to break! Even the slightest movement felt like a muscle strain.

The man's stamina was unbelievably impressive. She remembered drifting off to sleep several times, and each time she was awakened by his intense movements as he continued tirelessly. Yet, Annie couldn't help but recall how it all began last night, how she had behaved so recklessly, and how she had moved her waist while guided by him...

"Oh my goodness!" Annie moaned softly, wishing she could find a hole to hide in and never come out again! "So embarrassing... too embarrassing..."

She genuinely wished she could turn back time and erase this part completely! She felt too ashamed to face anyone! Thankfully, Alexander had already left; otherwise, how could she face him?!

Annie pulled the blanket over herself, covering herself from head to toe like an ostrich. She truly wanted to act like an ostrich, but her stomach was not cooperating at all. After a night of intense exercise, by the time she woke up, she was ravenous. She curled up in bed for a while, but her increasingly empty stomach became unbearable. She could only groan in discomfort while supporting her sore waist to get out of bed.

Feeling so wronged, Annie almost wanted to cry. With a waist that seemed like it would snap at any moment, enduring the pain, she struggled to gather the sheets and piled them up in the bathroom. If possible, she wished to make herself disappear without a trace.

After all this commotion, she was drenched in sweat, panting heavily. Collapsing onto the king-size bed, she simply didn't want to move. Her stomach grumbled loudly, making a fuss. With almost no strength left in her arms, she pressed the bedside bell and called room service.

When the delicious food entered her stomach and that warm feeling spread throughout her body, Annie felt so moved that she wanted to cry. She couldn't help but once again admire the food delivered to her.

That wicked man with a bizarre physique returned late at night, strolling around her as if nothing had happened, making her envy and resent him to death! After last night's events, her body was extremely sensitive. Whenever he approached, she couldn't help but blush uncontrollably. Then, he would laugh nastily, a laugh with unclear intentions, deep and meaningful, causing her eyes to redden, biting her lip, daring to be angry but not able to express it, turning her tears in frustration.

Feeling he shouldn't bully her any further, he suppressed his laughter, got into bed, and held her in his arms. The intimate contact brought back memories of last night, causing her body to convulse and tremble uncontrollably. Her pitiful appearance was extremely enticing. He had initially intended to let her be tonight, but after a while, the constantly trembling and delicate body in his arms ignited his desire. In the end, he no longer restrained himself and engaged in another round.

He had to speak to scare her, "Quickly go to sleep obediently, otherwise, you won't be able to sleep tonight!" She was so scared her eyes widened. In the darkness, her tears glistened like stars, but as he wished, she tried to relax her body as much as possible, not thinking about anything, and unknowingly fell asleep!

Something hung around her neck that Annie hadn't noticed until she was washing up in the morning. When she used a towel to wipe her neck, she felt something unusual. Then, looking in the large mirror, she saw a bright object hanging around her neck, undoubtedly a necklace. At the bottom, there was a slightly larger olive-shaped, emerald-green gem.

Annie lifted that gem up for a closer inspection. Within the emerald green of the gem, there was a faint hint of blue light, very bright and transparently green, emitting a serene, faint green glow. Resembling a small olive, upon closer examination, the gem's surface consisted of one trapezoidal facet after another. It looked exceptionally beautiful to Annie, but she didn't know how this thing ended up around her neck!

Setting down the towel, Annie briskly walked and arrived at the study adjoining the presidential suite, where Alexander often conducted his work and handled his business affairs.

Annie peeked inside and saw Alexander engrossed in some documents. She had never been in this study before, instinctively feeling it was a rather important place to avoid. This time, instead of entering, she extended her hand and knocked on the door.

Alexander raised his head.

Biting her lip, Annie pulled up the chain hanging around her neck and nervously asked, 'Alexander, do you... know how this thing ended up around my neck?'

Only she and he were in the room, and this thing wasn't there last night, so she could only think of him.

Alexander didn't even blink and calmly replied, 'Oh, this is a gift Peter sent you!'

'Peter?!' Annie murmured, she hadn't heard this name before.

Alexander explained, 'He's Andrew's father, and this is his token of appreciation!'

'Oh, it was him!' Annie was taken aback and felt somewhat awkward. Receiving this token made her feel uneasy. She hastily reached to remove the chain from around her neck, muttering to herself, 'I'd better not, I'll return it to him!'

Alexander stopped her, 'Since he sent it to you, you should accept it!'

'But—' Annie always felt embarrassed wearing this thing, but since Alexander insisted on accepting it, she didn't understand these business exchanges, so she could only do what Alexander said. She could only mutter an 'Oh' and silently walked away.

Alexander glanced at her slender figure and then returned his attention to the documents.

During breakfast, when she observed her clean neck without anything on it, the thing that was supposed to be around her neck had mysteriously disappeared. Alexander raised an eyebrow.

'Where's the necklace?' he asked.

Annie didn't expect him to ask, and he seemed somewhat displeased. She immediately swallowed the toast she was chewing, straightened her back, and obediently replied, 'I put it away because... I felt a bit uncomfortable!' Moreover, the gem seemed quite valuable, and she didn't dare to wear it!

'Bring it here!' Alexander's tone didn't sound very pleased.

Annie's heart slightly panicked. She quickly wiped her hands, stood up, and hurried to retrieve that necklace. She hadn't expected Alexander to care so much about that necklace.
