Not A Small-Town Girl

David’s voice was like music to Danielle’s ears.

Danielle wanted to get out of David’s arms and sleep in the bedroom, but David hugged her even tighter. He demanded, "I’ll hug you to sleep. Close your eyes."

Nathan had a feeling that David was treating Danielle like his daughter. He could tell that David was a super clingy lover.

Danielle was indeed exhausted from all the recent events. Ever since she arrived at the border, she had not had a good rest.

As soon as she arrived, she researched for an antidote for IV2. She also dealt with a bunch of work piled up during her absence. Now, she felt sleepy the moment she relaxed.

She lay obediently in David’s arms like a kitten. Exhausted, she fell asleep not long after. She was sleeping soundly with her lips slightly pouted. She looked cute.

David really wanted to kiss her, but he restrained himself.

Just then, Danielle’s phone rang. David could not tell who the caller was because the name shown on screen was encrypted.

David had witnessed Danielle’s hacking skills at the hospital. Last time at the auction, she went by the name Black Web. David found her intriguing.

Out of respect, David did not answer the phone, but he did not hang up either. He merely turned the phone to silent mode.

David was enjoying this moment. The corners of his lips curled up. He was like a completely different person from his usual self.

The call stopped and Danielle’s phone screen lit up. She received an email notification.

David subconsciously glanced at her phone and unintentionally found out another alias of Danielle while she was sleeping soundly in his arms.

Jason sent Danielle a message. [Miss Darling, this is the monthly financial statement of the Grace Group. Please check.]

Jason sent another message. [Our new skincare line has received good feedback from the customers. When you have time, you should invent another series.]

Jason was the CEO of the Grace Group. David knew a thing or two about this group.

It was a relatively new company that had rapid growth in the past few years. It was a dark horse in the business world, with lots of growth potential. It mainly produced clothes, jewelry, shoes, bags, and so on.

Since Jason reported to Danielle, then she was most likely the founder of the Grace Group. David suddenly recalled the time when he bought Danielle a bunch of fashion items from Grace.

Now David finally understood why Danielle didn’t seem excited to receive those gifts. She had acted calm, even a little awkward.
