Chapter 295 - An Ambiguous Moment (2/2)

Avaleigh stopped breathing for a second. They were face to face now and she could clearly smell the man's cologne. His scent was so intoxicating, she completely forgot about the pain she was in just a moment ago.

Emerson noticed the woman looking at him and he paused what he was doing to look into her eyes.

There was something about this woman that made him want to protect her.

”I don't have feelings for her anymore,” he suddenly said with his deep, charming voice.

Avaleigh felt her heart race uncontrollably when she heard these words. Was this the answer she had been waiting for all afternoon? Why was he suddenly telling her this now?

Avaleigh bit her lip nervously, not knowing how to respond.

The man's hand had stopped on her neck and she could feel his fingers through the tissue he was holding. Even though it was an indirect touch, she felt tingles down her spine and it seemed to paralyze her.

As she sat frozen in place, Emerson suddenly dropped the tissue in his hand and hooked his fingers under her chin.

Avaleigh finally snapped out of her daze and jumped back a little in surprise, but Emerson did not let go. In fact, he pulled her chin towards him and leaned forward towards her.

Avaleigh froze again.

Next thing she knew, Emerson leaned forward even more and brushed his nose against hers.

Avaleigh took a deep breath. Every brush of his nose teased at her heart and stirred up her desires. This man was extremely handsome, he was caring, and he was very smart. It was impossible not to be attracted to him. Avaleigh stared into the man's eyes and could not control her desirous gaze. His teasing was driving her crazy and she could not control her feelings even though she still had doubts about him.

An ambiguous vibe filled the room as Emerson's lips curved upwards slightly. He did not make a mistake this time. He was sure this woman liked him back. Otherwise, she would have pushed him away or hit him by now.

So, he closed his eyes and lifted the woman's chin gently. They had accidentally kissed twice, but he was going to give her a proper kiss this time.

Avaleigh also closed her eyes subconsciously.

However, just as their lips were about to touch, there was some knocking on the door again. This time, it was Sue, ”Ava, are you OK? Have you changed into your next outfit yet?”

Avaleigh's eyes quickly opened wide in a panic. She looked at Emerson awkwardly, backed away, and ran to unlock the door. Sue walked in and shook her head when she realized Avaleigh wasn't ready at all. In a hurry, she pushed her behind some curtains and started helping her change. She was in such a hurry, she didn't even notice Emerson sitting at the dressing table trying to calm himself down.

As Avaleigh got changed, she couldn't help but think about Emerson. They were definitely about to kiss before Sue interrupted, but there were still some questions on her mind. Did he want to kiss her because he liked her? Or simply because he wanted a free pash? She quickly changed into her outfit and hoped she would have a little bit of time to ask the man for an explanation before heading back on stage. But, by the time she stepped back out...Emerson was gone...
