Kapitel 116: Sealing the deal

Alicia could not help but be wary of Harold. Why was he so interested in her sleeping in his room? He had even sneaked into hers the other time when she had been drunk. Now, it was beginning to make her suspect that he was responsible for the flooding incident. Was this his plan?

"Did you flood my room?" She decided to ask since thinking about it was not going to give her any direct answer.

"No," he replied curtly, and left it at that, but her suspicion lingered.

"Why do you want me to share a room with you?" 

"Not share. Just the night."

"Isn't that the same thing?"

"No. I don't want you in my space."

"What?" She looked offended, even though she wasn't supposed to. "What do you mean by that?" 

"It's simple enough. If you want me to see to it that you get free time with Hellion, you have to play your part."
