chapter 12 How about you sleep with me?

"Why?"

Liora didn't understand Ravager's intention at first, but after asking, she figured it out.

"I know what you're up to!"

"Tomorrow morning, I'll take care of it!"

Faced with Liora's quick response, Ravager smiled. "You should be careful on your way home!"

With that, he was about to get out of the car.

Normally, returning home late at night wasn't a big deal for Liora.

But suddenly remembering the unsettling items in the trunk made her nervous.

"Ravager!"

Liora suddenly called out to him.

Ravager, who had taken only a few steps, turned to look. "Do you need anything else?"

Liora asked incoherently, "Do you live alone?"

"Of course. Why?"

Ravager was puzzled. What was this about?

"How about sleeping over at my place?"

Liora said shyly.

Ravager blushed.

Was his charm so strong that the boss lady was asking him to sleep over after just one day of knowing each other?

What should he do?

Agree or decline?

Such a difficult choice.

Just as Ravager hesitated, Liora realized that her words might have been misunderstood and hastily explained, "I'm scared to sleep alone. Will you keep me company?"

After saying that, Liora wanted to slap herself. The more she explained, the worse it sounded.

Ravager felt his body temperature rise and his throat tighten with excitement.

"Boss, I'm curious. When you didn't know me, who slept with you?"

Indeed, straight guys without girlfriends always had these moments. Ravager's mind was completely occupied by this curious question at this crucial moment.

"I slept alone, but today we bought burial clothes and a wreath, right?... I'm scared!"

Liora muttered softly.

"Ah, I see!"

Realizing he had misunderstood Liora, Ravager immediately spoke up. "If you're scared, I'll come over and sleep with you tonight!"

With that said, it was a situation where both parties felt a bit embarrassed in the dead of night.

But since Liora had initiated it, and Ravager had agreed, she had to respond.

After several seconds of silence, Liora's voice was as soft as a mosquito's. "Then get in the car!"

Ravager took a deep breath, sat in the passenger seat, and when the car started, he suddenly realized a problem.

Liora said she lived alone, but didn't they just go back to her place this morning?

"Boss, you said you sleep alone? But this morning when I went back with you, didn't you live with your parents?" Ravager looked puzzled.

Liora explained, "My parents live there, but I don't. I have my own house!"

With that, Ravager suddenly realized. Of course, it was normal after considering Liora's wealth.

Ardoran Residence.

Kingsbury's upscale villa community, where prices at launch were only 5 million less per unit than in the Emerald Villa Area.

Owning a villa in Kingsbury was undoubtedly a symbol of status and wealth.

Parking the car in the underground garage, Ravager accompanied Liora through the quiet garage.

It was already late, and the garage lights weren't very bright. Walking alone here would be a bit creepy.

Normally, Liora had walked this path countless times, but for some reason, tonight her heart was pounding.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, a figure in black appeared, holding a knife, blocking their way.

The eyes of the figure in black first glanced at Liora before speaking to Ravager, "You have no business here, scram!"

"Oh!"

Ravager nodded, unmoved.

Thinking Ravager was going to leave, the figure in black waited, but when nothing happened, they grew furious. "Do you want to die?"

"Yes!"

Ravager nodded.

"Huh?"

The figure in black sucked in a breath, looking at Ravager with a hint of seriousness. This person was either skilled or crazy.

Without further ado, the figure in black thrust the knife toward Ravager.

"Ahh!"

It was the first time Liora had encountered such a situation, right before her eyes, she screamed in fright.

Clang!

The knife fell to the ground with a clang.

Ravager used his hand like a knife, striking the wrist of the figure in black holding the knife.

Lacking exercise in daily life, the opponent dropped the knife with just one blow, clutching their wrist with their left hand, groaning in pain.

Expecting the figure in black to make another move, Ravager was surprised when they turned and ran away.

This scene truly caught Ravager off guard.

But since there was no one else around Liora, Ravager didn't want to pursue it.

It was obvious the attacker had targeted Liora, and if they chased after her, there might be hidden accomplices waiting to harm her.

After a moment of thought, Ravager abandoned the idea of chasing the attacker.

"Thank goodness I had you come home with me tonight!"

Seeing the attacker flee, Liora patted her chest, feeling relieved about her earlier decision.

"Miss Curry, have you offended anyone recently?"

Unlike Liora's relief, Ravager became nervous.

Based on these two incidents at the office and on the way home, it seemed like Liora was being targeted.

"Have you offended someone?"

Liora thought carefully and shook her head. "No, not that I can think of!"

"That's strange!"

Ravager grew more puzzled. "If you haven't offended anyone, why would all these incidents be aimed at you?"

Liora's thoughts were more straightforward. "Maybe he's just a robber, looking to steal money!"

"That could be a coincidence!"

Ravager didn't say much. Liora was the boss, and he was the bodyguard; naturally, it was his job to consider and resolve such matters.

Because it was just a minor incident, coupled with the late hour, the two of them chose not to call the police.

Arriving at Liora's house, it was a two-story villa with a building area of about 300 square meters. The decoration was not luxurious, with a simple and understated new Chinese style that reflected the high taste of the homeowner.

"I'll sleep on the second floor, you can choose any room on the first floor!"

As soon as they entered, Liora took off her shoes and put on slippers.

She even took out a pair of men's slippers from the shoe cabinet for Ravager.

Seeing these men's slippers, Ravager couldn't help but blurt out, "Boss, are you secretly keeping a man here?"

Liora gave him a white glance and said impatiently, "What are you thinking? My parents used to live here for a while!"

Ravager smiled awkwardly. "I was just asking, no other meaning!"

"I'm going to take a shower. There's also a bathroom and toilet downstairs that you can use freely!"

With that, Liora quickly went upstairs.

Ravager didn't take a shower but instead took off his shirt and began his nightly exercise routine.

Five hundred push-ups.

With hands on the ground and feet together, he performed push-ups with the precision of a robot.

His naturally strong muscles glistened with sweat from the exercise, exuding a unique beauty.

Upstairs, Liora quickly rinsed off, then put on her pajamas and used a towel to dry her damp hair before heading downstairs.

When she saw Ravager's aesthetically pleasing muscles, she was momentarily stunned...
