Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 281 Beyond the Door

"I have to go. Get yourself together and rest up," Victoria said as she dropped the clothes and rushed off.

Sadie drew the curtains and ventured to the bathroom. She was about to step into the shower after undressing when she faintly heard the door open-it sounded like someone had come in. "Victoria, is that you?" she called instinctively.

No answer came.

"Victoria..." Sadie called out again, her voice echoing slightly in the emptiness.

No response.

A pang of unease settled in her gut. Was she imagining things?

Preparing to wrap herself in a towel and investigate, a recognizable figure walked in...

"Yo-" Sadie's eyes went wide with disbelief as she stared at Micah.

Shrugging off his coat and tossing it aside, Micah began unbuttoning his shirt as he strolled towards her.

"What are you doing?" she asked, her voice a mix of alarm and confusion.

Sadie instinctively crossed her arms over her chest and stepped back, only to inadvertently step under the showerhead.

Scalding water cascaded down, and she shrieked, clumsily stepping away. A pair of arms enveloped her, one hand expertly adjusting the temperature while the other drew her close under the running water. "Let go of me!" Sadie protested, pushing against him, only to replace herself pinned against the shower wall, warm water soaking her hair and body.

Her vision blurred with the water's spray, a careful hand swept back her damp hair.

Suddenly, a kiss caught her off guard, intense and overwhelming, leaving her breathless...

"Mmm..." Sadie struggled, shaking her head, but he cupped her face, holding it still.

His kiss was dominating, a tempest that swept her up, leaving her unable to resist, forced to endure.

Apparently deciding she was too short, he lifted her, forcing her legs to wrap around his waist as he deepened his claim...

Sadie's resistance was met with a firm but gentle insistence, as if coaxing her to let go of her anger.

In the bathroom, love and fire raged, the water no match for the blaze.

In the throes of passion, a door opened somewhere outside, followed by Victoria's voice calling out, "Sadie, are you in the bathroom? Did you see my USB drive?" While calling out, Victoria searched the room, "Strange, where did I put it?"

Sadie tensed up, her hand clamped over her mouth, not daring to breathe.

The bathroom door was ajar, unlocked. If Victoria walked in, it would be mortifying!

"Did you replace it?"

Amelia's voice joined in, the sound of her heels clicking on the floor.

"Still looking," Victoria answered respectfully. "Ms. Amelia, what brings you here? Please, go rest. As soon as I replace it, I'll bring it with the files."

"I'll wait," Amelia said, her gaze sweeping around. "Isn't this Sadie's room? Where is she?"

Panic surged through Sadie. 'Oh no! Amelia too! Micah is still here! What to do?!'

"She must be showering. Her clothes were drenched in red wine," Victoria mused, glancing absentmindedly towards the bathroom, only to jolt with a sudden start.

At the bathroom door, a pair of men's dress shoes sat ominously-shoes that appeared strikingly similar to Micah's!

Inside the bathroom, Sadie clamped her hand over her mouth, desperately pushing against Micah and trying to make him stop. Unfortunately, it was as if he couldn't hear the commotion outside and persisted in his movements.

"Mr. Waters can be such a klutz, especially for his age," Amelia said icily. "Still, my matchmaking for him and Sadie came from a good place. He is well established and poised, mature beyond his years. How could he not be right for her?" Quivering, Sadie felt weak and exhausted, her nails digging into Micah's shoulders to the point of drawing blood.

Micah, however, was persistent, his actions conveying an urgency that spoke of deep emotions.
