Chapter 38: The Banter
Ch-37
"I guess... I am in love with you..." Eleanor’s words stilled him making his hold on her tighter.
He never expected her to confess to him. He meant not in this place... in this situation... at this moment. This was a surprise to him. He raised his head to see someone firing fireworks in the sky. He remembered those who belong to the party organized by his company’s annual party. A smile bloomed on his face. It’s a new phase for his company and also in his life.
Hugging her tight he buried his face in her neck and inhaled her calming, addictive and his favorite and unique scent which his body yearned and his nose loved to smell.
At this moment, he felt he needed to come clean to her. He didn’t know whether she used him or not, he didn’t care whether she had a past or not. He didn’t care if she was in a pit. Cedric didn’t care if he had to clean the mess for her. He didn’t care if some mud had been splashed on him because of her. All he cared was about her... only her and her people and things related to her. A pool of happiness surged in his heart. Only she has the power to mess with him and with his emotions. He was heartbroken years ago... but now she was fixing his broken heart without her knowledge in a cute yet seductive way. And what he could expect from his woman. She is the best woman in the world.
Raising his head, he looked at her, trying to calm his heart.
[Ahh... my stupid heart calms down. He was once your crush and you blurted out some gibberish. But... I don’t regret it.]
’But... you should directly kiss him when you confess instead of hugging him. See you are boring as shit.’ The devil version of Eleanor appeared in front of her with a readily disappointed expression on her face.
’Why?’ Eleanor asked with a confused face.
