Chapter 115
The situation was like a thorn, stabbing harshly into his brain. He felt super uncomfortable, getting all squirmy whenever he saw those two together.
Penelope glanced at Allison, pretty pleased with what she had said, “Lucian, let’s go inside”
But Lucian stood still, I used to hear my grandpa talk about you a lot. He said you’re a real whiz at medicine. Since I have the chance to meet you today, I’d like to pick your brain about a few things” He paused for a moment, then added slowly. “You can bring your girlfriend along”
When Allison heard the word “girlfriend“, she started shaking like a leaf. She could feel the anger in his voice.
Dr. Dylan pondered for a while, then chuckled, “Alright.”
Allison bit her lip, watching his back, feeling a weird sensation inside. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
She instinctively wanted to steer clear of him, and… she was feeling a bit jittery..
They were in a private dining room.
Allison had been on edge ever since she walked in. Even without looking up, she could feel those icy gazes on her.
Seeing her barely touching her food, Dr. Dylan frowned and put a piece of steak in her bowl, “Allison, try this.”
“Thanks” Allison muttered. She took a bite of the steak and felt the icy gaze grow even colder, as if it was going to freeze her solid.
Suddenly, Penelope screamed.
The glass that had been in front of Allison was knocked over by Penelope. Hot water splashed on Allison’s legs, and the glass shattered on the floor.”
Allison felt a sharp pain on her leg. Even through her clothes, the water was scalding hot.
She winced from the pain, quickly got up, Penelope had already ‘rushed‘ over to help her, “I’m sorry. Allison, are you alright?”
Allison knew she did it on purpose, brushed off her hand and stood up, I’m fine, I just need to use the restroom.”
In the restroom, after wiping off the water stains on her clothes, she looked up at the mirror, took a deep breath.
Penelope did this just to make her feel awkward. She had to hold it together, she didn’t want to cause Dr. Dylan any trouble.
After straightening her clothes, she left the restroom. As she turned the corner, suddenly, a pair of black leather shoes appeared in her line of sight.
Allison stopped abruptly, almost bumping into him.
“I’m sorry-“She looked up, and saw Lucian’s cold, handsome face.
Seeing Lucian, Allison instinctively backed off.
He looked at her defensive posture, and chuckled, “Are you afraid of me?”
Allison didn’t know what came over her, her reaction just now was purely reflex.
He moved closer, Allison backed off, until she was backed against the wall. He leaned in, his deep voice echoing. “Didn’t you say you wanted to keep your distance from me?”
Allison did say that.
She really thought she would never see him again.
They were really close. Allison lifted her head, her hair brushing his chin. She smelled his scent, a mix of light cologne and nicotine. Her cheeks flushed, she said, “Mr. Lindberg, please behave yourself!”
