Chapter 58: Finally caught you
The smirk on his face grew even wider this time.
I watched as he slowly sauntered over towards me, closing the gap between us in a few large strides. He stopped before my desk, reaching to pull the chair from underneath the table before he plopped right down to rest on the chair comfortably as though he was in the comfort of his own home.
"No hello or how are you? I thought you have always been very polite and well-mannered," he remarked as a smile played on his lips and satisfaction washed over him. "It’s nice seeing you again though, Aurelia. How have you been?" He asked as he placed his hands behind the back of his head and leaned back into the chair casually with a nonchalant expression etched onto his face.
"Been good until you appear in my office," I retorted and a deep chuckle emerged from his throat, amusement dancing in his light blue eyes as he looked at me.
"Oh come on now, aren’t you happy to see me?" He asked before leaning forward and getting dangerously close to me. His face was merely inches away from mine and I could even feel his hot breath fanning my neck as he spoke. "Or are you afraid that I would do something because of what you pulled at my house the other day?" He taunted me relentlessly this time, contempt swirling in the depths of his distant eyes.
Tension brewed in the air, hanging between us like a thick blanket and the low chuckle that left my lips sliced right through it.
"I merely told her the truth," I stated, my voice filled with certainty, never once breaking off eye contact. "I think she deserves to know."
He let out a loud scoff as he rolled his eyes upon hearing my response. He pressed his palms onto the desk and anger became clearly visible on his face.
"Don’t act like the good guy, Aurelia," he spat the words out like they were poison in his mouth with a look of disgust plastered across his face.
