Chapter 82 - Love Rival (1/2)

”Halia?” a voice called out from the doorway of the private gym room.

Halia's heart almost jumped out of her chest when she realized her and Sean were in a very ambiguous state and someone was at the door.

She quickly pushed the man off her body and looked towards the doorway. It was Eric, it had been a long time since they saw each other.

Eric looked at Halia awkwardly and said, ”Dr. Li and I were asked to take you to the lab for a few checks before you fly to Hong Kong tomorrow. Am I interrupting something? Should I come back later?”

”Errr, no, let's go right away.”

Halia quickly shook her head and got up. Without saying goodbye to Sean, she hurried Eric out the door with her.

Sean watched as the woman left. With a slight smile he touched his lips and tried to calm down his rapidly beating heart. She didn't resist this time either. For him, this was a good sign. He was going to confirm their feelings in Hong Kong and he had a promising feeling about it.

After leaving the SPU headquarters, Halia jumped into Eric's car with furrowed brows. Something was definitely not right. Sean was her handler and friend; almost like an older brother. Why did she kiss him back? Especially when she already had a boyfriend? She had never been the promiscuous type.

As Eric drove, he winked at Halia and teased, ”I sense some romance in the air.”

”It's not what you think,” Halia quickly denied.

”Come on, if I didn't interrupt you earlier, who's to say what you two would have done in that room,” Eric laughed, while thinking some really dirty thoughts.

”I don't know what we would have done either,” Halia began to feel worried. She was about to spend an entire week with Sean. If she lost control again, what else would she do with him? Every time he got close to her, it was like she became another person.

”Eric, you said Sara's memories will remain in my mind for 3 months. Have any of your previous test subjects experienced any odd effects during that time?” Halia suddenly asked.
