Chapter 254 - Out of her options... (2/2)

Alonzo nodded and took them towards the dining table.

Regina tried to sit beside Alonzo but Myra swiftly took the seat and said coolly, ”I sit here everyday.”

Huffing at her, Regina sat beside Cole who was sitting on the other side of Alonzo.

Everyone started with their dinner but Cole's eyes stayed on Myra but she had never even for once looked at his face...

He was feeling pain in his heart at her direct ignorance but he knew that he deserved this treatment from her.

Though Myra felt Cole's strong gaze on her, but she totally ignored it as she knew the moment she would look at his eyes, she would immediately melt like an ice which was definitely our of her options..

In the middle of the dinner, Regina tried to start a conversation but sadly no one gave her any importance and totally dismissed her which made her curse at them in her heart.

”So how is everything going here?” Cole asked.

Alonzo looked at him from his plate and said, ”Everything is fine. The business is also doing well and gaining much more profits than before.”

Cole just nodded but something caught in Alonzo's mind as he asked, ”Why don't you also shift your business here?”

This question made everyone stopped their eating. Regina was all smiling because if her brother would decide to settle here then it would be also easy for her to meet both Alonzo and Reuben..

Whereas Myra's face fell and she looked at her brother with wide eyes. Because if Cole would shift here permanently then she had to see him often which would be more difficult for her to protect her heart...

Cole thought for a while and said, ”You are right. But I've to think over little about this matter.”

”Okay... Take your own time.” Alonzo replied.

After dinner, they sat on the living room and chatted for few moments. Few minutes later, Alonzo got a call from Bill which he went to receive before asking Myra to show their apartment to Cole and Regina which Myra reluctantly agreed.

Myra made a round of their beautiful apartment whereas Regina just gawked at it while Cole's eyes never left Myra, making her more uncomfortable...

”This is our beautiful balcony from where we can see the most beautiful sunset.” Myra said before taking a lungful of fresh air.

Regina felt bored to feel the cold wind and pretended to receive a call before leaving Cole and Myra alone there, making them feel mire awkward...

They both stared at the beautiful stars in the sky silently without any words being spoken between them. Cole didn't know what to say to her whereas Myra didn't want to speak up..

What seemed like few hours when it was just ten minutes passed by, Cole asked in whispering voice, ”How are you?”

Myra didn't look at him and replied, ”I'm fine. Cause here at least I don't have to see the cruel face of the person who had hurt me the most. But the peace also seemed to get ruined very soon.”

As Myra said this, they again fell into a bunch of silence but it got broken when Cole suddenly asked the most unexpected question..

”Why didn't you cook the dinner today and ordered take out instead?”
