Chapter 177

She was about to stand up as she spoke.

But the next second, Zayden grabbed her hand again.

Iris turned her head in one swift motion.

Zayden’s bathrobe belt came loose at some point, I don’t know when.

The bathrobe fell open, revealing his well–defined chest, six–pack abs, V–line, and impressive assets wrapped in white briefs below the waist.

After a glance, Iris instinctively looked away, then stood up and moved to the side, creating some distance between her and Zayden.

At that moment, to say she wasn’t embarrassed at all, that’s definitely fake.

But with her and Zayden’s relationship, she couldn’t let this

awkwardness spread between them.

So, she forced a smile, glanced back at Zayden, and started to boldly size him up.

Now it’s Zayden’s turn to be nervous.

He tightened the hand resting on the chair.

Iris looked at him as if appreciating a piece of art, her eyes carefully scanning him up and down. Then she raised her eyebrows mischievously and said, “Wow, I didn’t expect you to have such a great figure. When you’re wearing a suit, you can’t tell at all. You’re just as

Zayden looked at her, couldn’t help but smile bitterly, and still asked hopefully, “Do you like it, Ira?”

He re–tied the belt of his robe, got back to the point, pointed at the computer screen, “It’s this email, take a look first.”

“Sure.” Iris nodded, “You can just sit wherever, I’ll finish and then tell you.”
