บท 169: Reward and Punishment

The drive on the way home was silent. No one initiated a conversation with them. Erick was very serious while focusing on the road. Elle did not know what to say so she kept quiet during the entire duration of their journey.

She was wondering if Erick was still mad. He did not ask her anything nor scold her for what happened. 

'What is running on his mind right now?' Elle could not help but ponder.

Looking at his fiery eyes, she chuckled inwardly. She found the angry him more attractive and hot. She stole glances at him from time to time. She really felt guilty right now.

'I think the confrontation will happen at home.' Elle took a deep breath as she decided to close her eyes and take a nap.

But in just a few minutes, she woke up while feeling so hot. Feeling uncomfortable, she removed the blanket around her body. She started to sweat.

"Erick, can you please set the air con at a lower temperature?" Elle pleaded in her hoarse voice.
