Moira took her phone and hurriedly ran out to open the door.
As expected, there was a police car parked at the entrance, and a few police officers were standing there,
There was even a female police officer who they had probably brought with them just in case.
“Ms. Jimenez? Your friend called the police and said a thief had entered your house, Is there a thief here?”
The police officer who spoke studied Moira.
Moira shook her head awkwardly and explained, “I’m sorry, Officer. There’s no thief in my house. It was a misunderstanding. My husband returned from a business trip, and I thought it was a thief. My friend hung up the call before I could explain…”
When the police officer saw Moira, he knew it was probably a misunderstanding. However, he still had to ask, “There’s really nothing wrong? Is it convenient for your husband to come out to meet us?”
Moira was a
little hesitant. “My

“It’s okay. We can wait.” The police officer answered.
When Moira heard this, she had no choice but to invite the officers into the villa. However, the police did not enter. They said they would wait at the door and asked her to go and call her husband.
Before Moira entered the villa, the police officer reminded her, “Ms. Jimenez, if you don’t come out in five minutes, we’ll come in.” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
The officer’s words rang out loud and clear. He had clearly meant for the “thief” to hear it.
Moira’s scalp tingled. She had never encountered such an awkward situation before.
“I understand, Officer Gray, Moira answered.
With that, Moira turned around and jogged into the villa, heading straight for the master bedroom on the second floor.
Moira had guessed correctly. Barclay was indeed taking a shower.
The door was not closed tightly. Moira hesitated for a while at the door, but she still pushed the door open and entered.
The bathroom door was closed, but she wouldn’t have dared to open it anyway.
Moira remembered the officer’s five–minute timeline and knocked on the bathroom door with a flushed face.
Through the door, the sound of running water could be heard.
The scene in Moira’s mind suddenly became a little inappropriate. She quickly patted her face and knocked harder on the door. She even called out to Barclay, who was inside, “Barclay, it’s me.”
Barclay must have heard her voice because the sound of water inside stopped.
Before Moira could react, Barclay suddenly opened the bathroom door, surrounded by steam from his hot shower, and stood before her.

Barclay’s chest muscles were so close that Moira was stunned.
“Did something happen?”
When Barclay’s deep voice sounded from above, Moira barely regained some clarity.
Moira tried her best to control herself. She seemed to be calm, but when she spoke, she still exposed herself. “The police want to see you.”
“The police?“.

Barclay frowned. He suddenly thought of something and understood what had happened. “Got it. I’ll be right down.”
After saying that, Barclay did not immediately close the door and entered the bathroom.
Looking at her red cheeks, Barclay’s Adam’s apple bobbed. His gaze landed on her small nose, and he restrained himself a little before he called out to her, “Moira.”
“Yes?” Moira responded.
She looked up guiltily, unable to resist taking another look at his chest muscles.
Moira marveled at how good they looked and wondered how his abs would feel.
“What are you looking at?” Barclay asked.
Realizing that she had been caught, Moira froze.
Moira stood there and met those dark eyes.
Barclay’s black eyes looked straight at Moira, almost as if he could read her thoughts.
Moira bit her lip and her face turned red. “If I say I’m not looking at anything, would you believe me?”
