Chapter 177: A Beautiful Woman
"What are you doing here?" Melanie asked the moment she saw Adam standing at her doorstep. She wanted to ask how he knew she was here but did not dare ask or else he would know that she knew about him.
But instead of answering her, Adam stepped into her room and said,"I think I should be the one asking you that question," Adam replied, stepping further into the room. His eyes fell on the small, half-zipped bag lying open on the bed. "Are you packing or unpacking? Don’t tell me you missed me so much that you flew all the way to Maniwa just for me," he added with a teasing grin.
Melanie shot him a brief, unreadable look, then turned her attention back to the bag. "I’m packing. I came here for business. And now that it’s done, I’m leaving."
Adam arched a brow claerly inconvinced and she almost had the urge to shift under his gaze! Dam* it! All of this had been a coincidence then why was she feeling guilty? She looked up when he questioned her. "Hmm. But why the sudden rush to leave?"
"Because my work is done," she repeated coolly but she still didn’t meet his gaze.
His voice seemed to be coming closer as he said," Wow. Look at you-answering all my questions like it’s a press conference. Alright then, tell me this- why did you run the moment you saw me?"
Melanie looked up then and widened her eyes when she realized just how close he’d come to her and shook her head," When did I run away? I am right here."
"I am talking about this morning."
Melanie froze for a heartbeat. Then nearly winced. He saw her? At the café? Damn. That was bad. She scrambled mentally. Best to pretend ignorance, to play dumb.
