Chapter 722: Dora
"Excuse me, please," she said, her voice polite but distant, as if she were addressing a stranger.
If anyone else had said those words, Kael would have stepped aside without a second thought. But not for her. Especially not when she couldn’t even be bothered to look him in the eye, treating him as though he were just another obstacle in her path.
"No," he replied firmly, his voice low and unyielding. "I won’t excuse you."
Her head snapping up then, to meet his gaze, her eyes blazing with sudden anger. Perfect. A surge of satisfaction coursed through him. Now she was finally looking at him.
"Dora," he said," We need to talk."
"No." She said and then tried to step around him but he simply moved in tandem, not letting her take a step out. She could try as much as she wanted but he’d been waiting here for the last two hours, so there was no way he was going to let her get away so easily.
Once again, she shot him a look and he was reminded of that morning when he’d done something similar to convince her to go on a date with him. He saw the moment she seemed to think of that too, and gave her a soft smile," Please, Dora. We need to talk."
He watched as she gave him a considering look and waited, holding his breath. He did not know why but he was worried...
"Fine. Let’s go talk in the coffee shop."
