Buy him time.
Adam stared blankly at the closed door.
As the footsteps faded into the distance, Adam regained his senses. He rubbed his forehead, reminding himself that now was not the time to daydream. He had to copy the data and leave as soon as possible so that Eve would be safe.
Phillips had just reached the door when he saw Eve walking towards him. He raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Why aren't you asleep yet? Don't tell me you've been waiting for me here. I'll be flattered ~"
Eve adjusted her breathing rate and said calmly with a faint smile on her face, "I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk. I didn't expect you to come back just in time."
"Really?" Phillips was already used to Eve's tone, so he wasn't surprised. He slowly walked up to her and wrapped his arms around Eve's slender waist. He rested his chin on her shoulder and took a deep breath. "Your scent is still the most intoxicating. Do you know what I want to do right now?"
The woman he met during the mission tonight really annoyed him. Even if that woman had disappeared from this world forever, he still felt that she had polluted his eyes.
As expected, Eve's scent was the most calming.
She was also the only terrifying woman who could break his self-control.
Phillips's hot breath landed on Eve's neck, causing her to shiver uncontrollably. A complicated look flashed through her blue eyes as she shook her head and said, "I don't know …"
"Oh? You really don't know? "Phillips raised his eyebrows. He raised his head and nibbled on her earlobe.
Eve was a little repulsed by his vulgar words and blatant intentions. She thought of Adam, who was still copying data in the office. She suddenly pushed Phillips away and hovered over him. "You smell like cosmetics. Don't tell me that you've slept with another woman before."
Phillips was stunned when he saw Eve's reaction. Then, he laughed out loud in surprise. "Is my Eve jealous? What a pleasant surprise. "
With her back facing Phillips, Eve crossed her arms in front of her chest and said in a cold voice, "I don't mind what you do outside, but please don't touch me with the scent of another woman's cosmetics!"
When Eve heard this, she thought that Phillips had given up on going to the office. Just as she heaved a sigh of relief, she heard his voice above her head. "However, I still have something to do. I have to go to the office first. You can wait for me in the house."
After that, Phillips took a step forward and walked in the direction of the office.
Eve's blood seemed to have frozen. Her heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly grabbed Phillips's arm.
Phillips glanced sideways at her with a hint of suspicion in his eyes. The curve of his lips sank slightly as he narrowed his eyes and said, "Why do I feel that you're acting strangely today? You keep stopping me from going to the office. Is there something that you can't let me see? "
Eve's heart raced. She quickly calmed herself down and adjusted her facial expression. She quickly let go of Phillips's arm and said indifferently, "What do I have that I can't let you see? If you want to go to the office, go ahead. However, I want to go with you! "
"Oh?" Phillips's voice rose an octave.
Eve looked away and said, "Who knows if you're having an affair with another woman in the office? I want to go with you! "
"Affair?" Phillips chuckled. His gaze was deep and sharp as he looked straight at Eve as though he wanted to see through her. He teased, "Eve, you look cuter when you're jealous than other women. I didn't know that you would actually care so much about me having another woman outside."
"I just don't want you to be stained with another woman's scent in the same bed as me!"
Eve's eyes narrowed as she spoke in a low voice.
She didn't even know how she said those words. They were so hypocritical that even she felt disgusted.
"You hate me for being with another woman?" Phillips held Eve's hand. His eyes were burning. "Then all the more you should please me so that I won't be interested in other women. Do you understand?"
Eve's gaze unconsciously shifted away.
Phillips looked at her with a faint smile and strode forward. He was very fast and his face was a little gloomy as if he was certain that there was someone in the office.
With every step he took, Eve's heart beat faster. She was just thinking about how to buy more time when Phillips said faintly, "If you do it deliberately, you might end up making a fool of yourself."
Eve's body suddenly froze.
By the time she came back to her senses, the two of them were already in front of the office door. Eve's heart stopped beating instantly.
Phillips's hand landed on the door handle. He sneered at Eve and said, "Come, let's guess. Is there anyone inside?"
Eve's heart beat so fast that she almost couldn't recognize her own voice. She could only say dryly, "The Elders' Institute is heavily guarded. How could there be an intruder? There shouldn't be anyone. "
"Is that so? What if there's an unexpected gain? "Phillips's smile became colder. He retracted his gaze and turned the door handle.
