Chapter 723 - Seven Hundred And Twenty-three: Why Would He Like That? (2/2)

Neon heard the sound of footsteps approaching and stood up at once. Not too long, his gaze fell on Ailee who obediently had her hair down. Thank God.

”Hey,” He was the one to speak up first considering the fact he snapped at her earlier, ”You look beautiful,”

Ailee didn't reply and simply gave him the cold shoulder. However, before she could walk past him, Neon reached out and yanked her towards him. They were almost in an embracing position but Neon was smart enough to put some distance between them.

”I'm sorry, princess. I didn't mean to snap at you. It just happened and I'm truly sorry for that,” He apologized yet there was no response from Ailee.

Neon was just about to think of another tactic when Ailee suddenly lifted her phone and played the record of him apologizing to her with a smirk.

”I'll keep this for future sake,” Ailee grinned at him.

”You know you don't have to do that, I would always apologize to you for my wrongs any day, anywhere, and anytime,” He told her.

”Sure, I know that,” Ailee answered, ”But then people change just like my brother, Allen. So I'll just keep it for future purposes when you're no longer the same,”

”For you alone, I'll be the same. You don't know how much you mean to me,” Neon said, catching her strand in his hand and taking his sweet time pulling it to the back of her ear.

Ailee didn't say anything, she just listened to his words and watched his actions. However, her gaze somehow rested on his lips and she gulped. What the hell was wrong with her? Thankfully, his words brought her back to reality.

”So you don't have to be scared of losing me, Ailee. I'm always here for you and would always be,” He said, holding her gaze as they stared into each other's eyes.

Neon's eyes were really beautiful, they were blue with specks of gold around the pupil. She could really stare into his eyes all day without getting tired. However, when Ailee became aware of the intensity of Neon's gaze, her heart skipped a beat.

She unconsciously held her breath when she saw the look in his eyes - It was full of longing and consuming. Longing for who? For what? Neon was confusing her. Unfortunately, that was all the reminder she needed to break their contact.

”We should go,” Ailee patted him on the back.

”Yes, we should,” Neon agreed as well and they headed over to their SUV. Honestly, Ailee had her own car but this was the first car their parents gifted them to go to school with to promote the spirit of togetherness between them since they quibbled like cat and mouse with Allen and vice versa.

Well, the method only worked because Neon only ended up being the chauffeur driving them to school almost every day. It was just a few occasions that Allen decided to help out and he had a purpose for doing so and it was always beneficial for that purpose.

”You know I should be the one driving considering I'm your manager and assistant else people would begin to suspect we are more than what we claim to be,” There was already that crazy model thinking they were dating. What a ridiculous thought.

”Let them think what they want,” Neon muttered, bringing the car to life, ”I would like that anyway,” He muttered under his breath without knowing she heard him.

Ailee's brows furrowed, why would he like that?
