173 Platonic 1 (2/2)

When the two of them reached the parking lot, intending to leave for their own scheduled appointments, Alessa raised up a hesitant countenance. Before he got into his own car though, she hastily opened her mouth, braving to ask.

”Hey, would you mind if I drop by your house later this afternoon?”

She was met by his raised brow and frowning face. Without him saying, she knew he was demanding a reason.

Thus, she laughed to hide her nervousness. ”I'll be free from anything from 5 pm onward. I thought I might as well spend some time with my great friend since it's been a while since we last hang out.”

”Is there a new one you want me to investigate for you? Who's the scumbag this time? Must be an investor?”

Alessa had to trot in her killer heels in order to stop the closing door next to the driver's seat. With her hand pushing it to the side, she popped her head in, almost having her forehead bumped into his nose.

”Wait a second. You still haven't answered me.”

”Just say who.” He replied in a flat tone. ”Hurry up. Then leave. I don't want to be caught in any bothersome rumors with you.”

Alessa wryly smiled, thinking to herself, what super paparazzi could even slip past his notice? And does she always have to bring up suspicious and evil people just to have him talk to her?

”I don't have the list with me, so I have to drop by to your house.”

”...Just have your assistants email it to me.”

'I have to make excuses again?'

She took a deep breath, her hazel eyes seriously peering into his brown ones. ”My assistants are not with me if you noticed. Remember? Diaz and Aura just got married. They're both on honeymoon. So I will just go.”

”You be the one to email it then.”

For a couple of moments, Alessa went silent. Within her mind, she had almost murdered this heartless and slow guy a million times.

Does he not want to see her again that much? What would she email? She planned to do a search of whom to victimize while on her way to his home!

Not resigned to fate, she looked at him in the eyes and said, ”...I'll bring food if that what is bothering you. And the advance payment too.”

And then without waiting for him to respond, she closed the car door with a bang. The impact of her anger shook the vehicle a bit, alongside the guy inside it whose face badly darkened.

As she dialed the number of her driver, she begrudgingly scolded herself.

'I'm suffering so much, having to be bold and shameless when I'm supposed to be a lady raised to be gentle and refined in my boudoir. How the heck did I fall this hard? And why for this heartless always-depressed guy?'

'Damn, I think I have to find an ophthalmologist who specialized in treating blindness.'

The fingers tapping on the screen of numbers were a lot forceful and furious than usual, reflecting the tumultuous waves and thunderous beating inside her chest.
