Angelina still did not release her locked gaze. Likewise, Alex did not let Angelina look away.Realizing that Alex's gaze was increasingly making her drift, Angelina pulled her hand from the man's grip and diamonds turned her face and moved uncertainly because she was very nervous."I-I'll settle this by washing it," said Angelina quickly rubbish piling up the plates from their dinner."Hey, you haven't finished your meal, Angelina," Alex said as he tugged Angelina's wrist."I-I'm full," Angelina replied as she slipped her hand out of Alex's grasp. "Let me take care of this."Angelina piled them up sometimes with quick movements then walked half-run towards the sink to clean the plates they had just used for dinner."You should finish your food first, Angelina, don't let yourself starve again in the middle of the night like the other night," Alex said again."I won't go hungry because I've filled my stomach. That night was an exception because I didn't eat at all while at the restaura

Angelina was silent to digest Alex's words. Is this what Emily meant? So Alex wants to protect Angelina's good name?'Why is Emily so good at reading situations that she's not even on the scene herself? Fortunately, I have her, it helps me a lot,' Angelina muttered to herself.'But, should I just believe Alex?' Angelina thought again."Do you doubt me, Angelina?" asked Alex, who had not received any response from Angelina."I just don't understand, if what you say is true, why did you do all that for me who you only met a few days ago?" said Angelina wanting to ask for a little explanation that might make her more confident."I told you, I did it all because I care about you. How many times do I have to say it for you to believe me, Angelina?" said Alex."When it comes to feelings, there's no time. People who have known each other for a long time don't necessarily love each other. Similarly, those who have been in a relationship for a long time don't always survive just because the re

Gulp!Angelina swallowed her saliva with difficulty. She was nervous after hearing Alex's words inviting her to repeat the night.'No! This is crazy! I would never want to make a mistake a second time. I'll never do it.' Angelina's mind began to race.Angelina grew increasingly agitated as Alex drew her body closer, closer and closer.Angelina found it difficult to breathe as she struggled to contain her anxiety."Alex, please don't do it," pleaded Angelina in a trembling voice. She was still a little traumatised by the events of that night, and now Alex was inviting her to repeat?Alex didn't seem to want to hear what Angelina was saying, and also didn't care how scared the girl was. Alex continued to approach and cut the distance even further."Alex, didn't we agree not to do things like this before we had a clear relationship? Please stop coming closer!"Alex landed her lips on Angelina's forehead. Alex deliberately kissed the girl's forehead long enough.At first, Angelina still w

There was laughter from the person who was talking to Alex on the phone."Alex... Alex... why do you have to be so angry? Isn't what I said true?" Roy said in a mocking tone."I said shut up! Didn't you hear me?" Alex was enraged."Alex, I'm just reminding you, you should be thanking me. Ever since you got to know that girl your life has been a lot of trouble. You're getting weaker and weaker!" Roy was not afraid to make Alex even more angry."Enough!" Alex shouted to stop Roy's outrageous behaviour."Don't say anything more, Roy, you've gone too far! You have no right to control my life, do you realise who you are? You don't deserve to give me any advice!" Alex couldn't contain his emotions.The man walked a little away from where he lay because he was afraid his voice would make Angelina surprised."Well, Alexander Dominik, I feel like you're elevating yourself more and more. Is it because Mr Ernest always relies on you that you forget yourself, huh!" Roy replied equally fiercely."

"Lou, you? Did you mean what you just said?"Alex couldn't believe Louis was calling him a jerk. Has he been a jerk all this time, in Louis' eyes?"Of course I meant it, did I look like I was joking?" Louis replies with a serious expression and looks."Now tell me, what have you done to this girl?" asked Louis, urging Alex to speak up.Alex was frustrated under Louis' pressure. How could the doctor get Alex riled up? Making Alex feel like he had been caught in the act of committing a crime."You won't tell me, huh! If you don't tell me the truth how can I help you?""Okay fine! Fine, fine... yes I'll say it, Louis, please shut up! Don't keep talking, I'm dizzy from hearing it." Alex immediately replied to Louis' words quickly this time. He felt he couldn't do anything else but tell his best friend the truth."Hm, so?" Louis couldn't wait for Alex to speak.Louis watched Alex's gestures. The doctor knew his best friend was not at ease right now, it could be seen from how often the man
