Bonnie hadn't checked X today, so she responded with a delayed, absentminded "Mm."
Derek didn't press further.
Her mind was preoccupied. Watching his tall, straight figure ahead, she instinctively reached up and touched her neck.
Before she realized it, she had followed him all the way to the bedroom door.
Derek turned his head to glance at her and came to a stop. Caught off guard, Bonnie bumped into him. He looked down at her lazily and smiled, "Planning to sleep with me tonight?"
Bonnie looked around and only then realized where she was.
She lifted her head. "...Are you going to bed already?"
Derek turned away, unbuttoning two buttons to reveal his elegant neckline. He chuckled lowly, "Why?"
Before she could answer, he leaned in slightly, eyes fixed on hers. "Is there something else you want to say, my dear young lady?"
His voice dropped low, the posture casual and seductive, making his tone even more enticing.
