Chapter 100 - 99 Five Minutes That Hurts the Most
Olivia found herself in a dilemma. Should she accept his request or decline it? How could she be dating two strong rivals—isn’t that like digging a pit for the three of them to fall in? Although she had not really thought about a love relationship, she didn’t want to do this.
She wanted to say yes, but she did not yet know what exactly she was feeling for him. If this was to be something real, wouldn’t that be like sulling whatever they had?
A sad smile formed on her lips. She slowly turned towards him, meeting his gaze. "That is one hell of a crazy request..." she chuckled, but it didn’t reach her eyes. For a moment, her heart screamed say yes, but her fear won. "But I’m afraid I have to decline."
Lucian’s heart squeezed in his chest. What was he thinking? She doesn’t see him as a potential boyfriend. She doesn’t have any feelings for him. It was just him that was feeling the spark—it was all in his head, he thought bitterly.
He stood up on his feet. The heat that was coursing through his veins had turned cold now.
"I understand," he said, but it came out too flat. His warmth vanished, replaced by the kind of silence that filled empty rooms.
Olivia’s heart went numb when she saw how he had turned cold.
"I’m sorry for inviting you without a proper reason. If you don’t mind, you can leave now," he walked to the door, his body towering over hers.
Olivia tilted her head to meet his gaze. "Now you are chasing me away... By the way, I was already leaving," she said, her voice cracking with anger.
