Chapter 134

“Ouch!” Cameron winced as Peggy unexpectedly bit him. He felt his muscles tense from the sudden pain. “Hey, Ms. Lee, what are you doing? I’m here to rescue you. Why are you biting me?” he exclaimed, gritting his teeth.

Peggy ignored his protests and bit harder. “Are you a dog or something? Let go…”

“You’re the one who’s a dog!”

Peggy finally released him, tears welling in her eyes. Cameron was about to rebuke her, but paused, noticing the tears, and the underlying sadness.

“Alright. Forget it.” He sighed, understanding her terror.

“Forget it? I’m not done with you, Cameron!” Peggy glared, resentment filling her eyes.

“What’s with the biting? I saved you, didn’t I?” Cameron replied, exasperated.

“I’m ungrateful? You heartless piece of shit! You weren’t even trying to help. You’re not a man at all!” Peggy’s anger flared, venting her fear and frustration.

“So that’s what this is about.” Cameron realized the reason for her behavior and chuckled wryly. “But I did that to save you.”

“That’s your excuse for a rescue? You were just looking out for yourself!” Peggy snapped, unconvinced.

“Ms. Lee, don’t you see? If I’d shown too much concern, I’d end up like Colonel Bailey, completely at the mercenary’s mercy. Would he have given me a chance then?” Cameron shook his head, explaining.

His words made Peggy pause and reconsider.

“Is that true?” she asked.

“Of course. Didn’t you see how I provoked him to create an opening?” Cameron added, “Besides, why else would I come here if not to rescue you?”

Peggy was moved, realizing Cameron had indeed come for her. Her anger began to dissipate.

“Still, you were too convincing. You fooled me!” she huffed, feeling warmth on her cheeks.

“Ms. Lee, would he have believed me if I wasn’t convincing?” Cameron replied, feeling helpless.

“Whatever…” Peggy muttered stubbornly, her face reddening.

Cameron smiled. He thought arguing with women was futile. Peggy, knowing she was at fault, changed the subject.

“What will you do with him now?”

“I’ll take him for a thorough interrogation,” Cameron said solemnly. “Once I obtain the name of his employer, I’ll inform Ms. Jones.”

Peggy’s opinion of Cameron shifted slightly. Just as she was about to speak, a moan of “It’s so hot” caught her off guard.

Cameron shuddered, realizing he’d forgotten Lena. Lena’s body was burning up. Her skin was flushed pink, and her eyes were clouded with desire. Just glancing at her sent Cameron’s blood racing, nearly causing a nosebleed. It was a relief to solve one problem, only to be confronted with an even bigger one.
