Chapter 155

Standing behind Kieran, looking at Kieran’s head, Alaricka felt like it was a lifetime ago.

She slowly raised her hands, both hovering near Kieran’s temples.

The two hands paused for a moment before finally landing on Kieran’s temples, the pads of the fingers pressing against Kieran’s skin.

No need to remember, no need to think.

The moves for giving Kieran a massage felt like the strongest memory in her body; she didn’t have to think much, the massage techniques just came out naturally.

The pale wrist and fingers slowly turned, skillfully massaging Kieran’s temples.

Alarieka looked down and saw Kieran’s eyes closed, his face obviously relaxed, and even the color had come back to his cheeks.

After pressing for a while, Alarieka’s wrist already started to feel sore.

She said softly, “I made you feel good, so don’t kick me out.”

Kieran went “mm,” and his tone got lighter.

Alarieka went on, “Also, I learned this massage technique at that massage place in the east part of the city. You can just go to them directly; don’t come to me anymore…”

Knock, knock, knock…

“Kier…”

Outside the door, the knocking was still going on, and the person outside was still talking.

Alaricka pressed her lips together, “Then tell them not to stay here, and get Clarissa over, too.”

She turned her head and watched the lounge door warily.

“Is Kier, Rose with you?”

Alarieka was watching too closely and didn’t notice Kieran’s hand quietly reaching over from in front of her.

Then, he suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Alarieka was surprised at first by the cool temperature in Kieran’s palm.

Right after that, she was suddenly yanked by Kieran and lost control, falling forward.

Alarieka couldn’t hold back the shock in her chest and let out a couple of startled cries.

“Ah!”

She was pulled down, her whole body almost lying on Kieran’s back, their cheeks just a few centimeters apart. She could almost feel the warmth of Kieran’s cheek and hear Kieran’s breathing.

The two were way too close, and for a moment, Alarieka’s mind just went blank.

After Alarieka realized it, she frowned hard and scolded in a low voice.

“Kieran, what were you doing?”

Her voice was pretty loud just now, not sure if the people outside the door heard it.

If she got caught, she’d definitely get kicked out.

Kieran was obviously really enjoying her massage. His whole face relaxed, and the look in his eyes was super casual, like he was totally at ease. He lifted his index finger and put it to his lips.

“Shh.”

Alarieka shut her mouth.

Outside the door, the knocking paused for a moment.

Then there was Wallace’s uncertain voice: “Kier, Rose with you, right?”

Alarieka realized that Wallace was treating her as if she were Roschelle.

Alarieka let out a sigh of relief.

Wallace said, “The party started soon; don’t mess around too much, come out on time, there are still a lot of people waiting.”

“Also, you have to take care of Rose’s health. She is less than three months pregnant, and the baby isn’t stable yet. Don’t mess around and do anything crazy. Watch yourselves.”

Kieran shouted back, “Got it.”

Alarieka slowly blinked.

Although she hadn’t experienced a real relationship in this life, with her past memories, she could totally get what Wallace meant.

Wallace thought she, “Roschelle,” was messing around with Kieran in the lounge.

Even made shameless noises without knowing when to stop.

The moment Alarieka figured it out, she suddenly pulled her hand away from Kieran.

In another spot, Roschelle kept looking down at her watch and whispered to hurry up.

“Hurry up, I’m about to be late.”

The driver said quietly, “That was already the fastest speed.”

“Just go straight to the lounge,” Roschelle said, “Kier is right there waiting for me.”

In the lounge, Alarieka stood two meters behind Kieran, her hands hanging by her sides, still feeling the sensation of massaging Kieran on her fingertips.

She wasn’t quite used to it.

The voices outside slowly went away, and Alarieka’s pounding heartbeat gradually calmed down.

Kieran in front of me raised his hand again and rubbed his temple.

Alarieka cleared her throat. “Is it okay now?”

Kieran kept it short: “Go on.”

Alarieka:

She walked over, rubbed Kieran’s temples with one hand, and said, “I did this for payment.”

Kieran closed his eyes and didn’t say anything, his brows relaxing.

No refusal meant agreement.

She said quietly. “Go get Clarissa. I have something to ask her.”

Kieran said quietly. “What’s up?”

“Of course there is something.”

As she spoke, Alaricka got distracted and loosened her grip a bit.

Kieran clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, his voice low and rich: “Focus.”

Alarieka held back the urge to roll her eyes, and her grip instantly got a lot stronger.
