That was because someone else had made her change!


Whitney tried to shift her angle slightly, but the man suddenly grunted and growled, “Be careful, or your


face might touch something.”


Whitney stiffened, her cheeks blazing.


He began to pull the towel from her back, gently easing her off him.


Whitney sat to the side, covering her eyes, panting. “Okay, are you decent now?”


Looking at her flushed appearance, the man hooked the corner of his lips in a faint smile.


“Stand up slowly,” he advised, not wanting her to stumble again.


Seeing him wrapped in the towel once more, Whitney dared to open her eyes. The man seemed oddly


familiar.


Looking at his perfectly sculpted features, Whitney remembered the purpose of her visit. “Hey, are you


the owner of Imperial Gem Corporation, Mr. Lippert?”


“And who might you be?” He asked, towering above her with an air of indifference as if he did not know

Watching her flee with such grace and beauty, the onlookers outside were left with agape jaws.


And then, they were all suddenly blinded by Ludwik!


Nolan quickly removed the shirt covering his eyes and turned to see the tall man with a mask emerge,


his curiosity piqued, “Ludwik! Why the sudden need for a disguise?”


“Who brought her in here?” Ludwik asked with a heavy tone.


Seeing Ludwik’s darkening expression, Nolan shivered and weakly raised his hand, “I… I brought
