Anne jolted and turned to gape at the man standing behind her. “Are you going, too?”
“I want to see you board the flight.” Anthony studied her face stubbornly.
Anne glanced at the flight ticket in Anthony’s hand darkly, realizing that he had bought at ticket just so that he could enter the lounge.
‘Is this really necessary? I hope he is telling the truth,’ she thought.
Anne sat down and glanced at the time on her phone, relieved that her flight was scheduled to take off within half an hour and she would not have to see Anthony once she boarded.
Anthony sat down next to her. “Do you really hate seeing me that much?”
Anne agreed in her mind but turned to look at the planes outside the glass windows before saying, “You are overthinking.”
“Good, then.” He scanned her side profile. “I will come to pick you up when you come back.”
“Are you not busy?” she said impatiently.
Anthony reached for her hand and rubbed her fingers gently. “Work doesn’t matter much to me anymore.”
She pursed her lips and stared at their joined hands, knowing that if she fought him, he would only tighten his grip..
She did not want to draw unwanted attention and thought to herself, ‘What’s important, then, if not work? Me? You already have Lucia, so why are you acting all lovey-dovey with
me?”
“Anthony, have you seen other women during the time I was gone?” Anne did not know what prompted her to ask such a question.
Perhaps it was simply a warning for Anthony to stop and reflect upon himself so that he would realize putting on an act in front of Anne meant nothing.
Anthony froze, and tension rose between them.
Anne waited, feeling her heart sinking as seconds passed by.
Shortly after, he said, “No.”
The pressure she felt on her chest vanished, but she did not feel pleased and thought, ‘But you have. Why won’t you just admit to it?”
“I’ve been by myself for the past two years.” He stared into her eyes.
Anne turned her face. “Doesn’t look like it.”
Anthony chuckled. “You are the only one who can make me lose control, like right now…”
“Don’t… Umph!” Anne’s words were devoured before they could exit her lips.
She widened her eyes in disbelief.
They were in the lounge, and even if it was the VIP lounge, there were still others. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
When Anthony deepened the kiss, she jolted and shoved him away before hurrying to the bathroom. However, before she had the time to calm herself, the door was opened, and her heart raced when she
saw Anthony. “You… This is the ladies’ room!”
“I know.” Anthony locked the door behind him so that no one else would enter.
“What… are you going to do?” Anne panicked as he approached, wondering if he was going to take her right there and then.
Anthony pulled her into his arms. “It’s ten minutes before boarding time. I would need longer than that.”
Reading the hint between his words, Anne felt extremely uncomfortable.
“Just let me hold you for ten minutes.”
Anne stiffened, but her mind drifted as she wondered why Anthony appeared so reluctant to let her go.
“What do I have to do to make you stay?” he asked hoarsely.
