"Shut your own damn door! What nonsense are you spouting about, Tanya? Am I that kind of person?"
Yvonne was going crazy from being so infuriated. "It doesn't matter how handsome he is," she countered vehemently, "I won't just sleep with him when we had just met. I’m not an obsessive lover!"
"I don’t buy it. I trust what I see, and I saw you were literally on top of him. That can't be fake now, right?"
Tanya giggled and added, "Oh, Cousin, you must be cursing about how I entered in such a wrong moment, and if only I came a little later."
"Miss Tanya, you misunderstood us, really. Nothing happened between us, and you already know that I have a wife!" Fane helplessly explained. He thought that Yvonne might have a mental breakdown if he did not resolve the misunderstanding.
"Yes, yes, yes! How can I possibly like him? I don't even know his name!"
Yvonne let out a sigh of relief and it seemed Fane was nice enough to help her explain.
"Do you even require to know that person's name when you love someone? What if you choose to elope with him, Cousin? I can't do what you did earlier! That was too bold!"
Tanya continued to tease her as she commented, "Had I came in a little later than this, I'm guessing you might even be pregnant, no?"
"Tanya Drake, I'll strangle you!"
Yvonne was completely flustered and was beyond speechless.
"Alright, alright, Yvonne. Tell me then: Why are you in that position if you're not making babies with him?"
Tanya joked in between laughter.
Tanya was even more confused when Yvonne stopped in her sentence. It was uncertain what exactly had happened between these two.
After some thought, Yvonne explained, "Nothing. I'm just saying, how can this man live here when I'm also living on the upper floor? He can’t live here. What if this man turned out to be a creep, and what should I d o if he barged in my room in the middle of the night?"
A thought then occurred to her and she barked at her cousin, "Tanya, how can you assign a bodyguard to live in this mansion? Not to mention, a room opposite mine, damn it!"
Tanya sighed. "Dear Cousin, this was arranged by my father. I had no say in the matter!"
"Besides, you have no idea how powerful Fane is. Living right next to you gives you a sense of security, you know? Also, he’s extremely capable of fighting! I was out shopping today and was bullied by people since I only brought Fane out with me. He singlehandedly took care of that man's bodyguards!" Tanya explained.
"Okay, fine, he's powerful. Still, he's a man and he's living right across my room. Is this appropriate? What if lust begets him someday? Wouldn't I be..."
