Chapter 13
Gloria didn't want to go over, but she dared not to do so. Her feet seemed to have betrayed her as she got out of the car. She walked slowly toward Patrick.
Patrick first glanced at Gloria's legs and then at her face.
He mocked, "Do you enjoy this? Miss Carter, why are you wasting time?"
Gloria's breathing stopped for a moment, and she pinched her thigh.
She knew that Patrick was sure she was slow because she was trying to stall deliberately.
She hoped that it was really as he said. She was only stalling.
But the truth...
Gloria gritted her teeth and walked faster. Then, she felt pain and pinched herself harder.
Patrick saw her speed up and smiled slightly.
He said to himself with satisfaction, 'That's right. A toy should act more like a toy.'
