Chapter 154: The Most Unexpected Guest
Lyse was admiring the flowers which were blooming in the garden, her focus momentarily diverted from her own troubles, when she noticed a familiar car drive into the compound and an equally familiar figure step out of the car and step into the building. Her breath hitched in her throat as she recognized who it was, It was the most unexpected guest, it was Levi.
A wave of irritation washed over her, quickly followed by a surge of anger. What was he doing here? Had she not made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with him? His audacity was infuriating. She quickly made her way inside and waited.
She watched as he approached, her arms crossed tightly across her chest, her expression hardening. She was prepared to give him a piece of her mind, to demand that he leave her alone.
"Why are you here Levi?" She asked in hushed tones, her expression irritated. "I told you that this thing between us..." She gestured to the both of them, "is over."
Levi sighed and looked at her patiently. However, before ge could say a word in his defense, Vanessa, approached them both, her face lighting up with a warm smile.
"Mr Van Doren!" Vanessa exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine enthusiasm. "It is so good to see you! We were wondering when you would be able to make it. I see Lyse’s presence here has forced you to come."
Lyse froze, her anger momentarily dissipating, replaced by a wave of confusion. Vanessa was speaking to Levi as if she knew him on a personal level? And she seemed genuinely happy to see him.
Levi glanced momentarily at Lyse before returning to Vanessa, he smiled warmly at her, his gaze softening. "It is good to be here, Vanessa," he said, his voice sincere. "I am so sorry that it took me so long to get away from work."
"And you are right, i could not bear to be even a day away from Lyse." He added.
