Yanis took a deep breath. He raised his head to look at Zain with all his courage.
-Don’t worry. I don’t know what happened just before, and I’m not going to tell anyone.
Zain looked at her silently.
-All you want to say is this?
Yanis blinked and looked at Zain with some uncertainty.
“What else, what else do I have to say?” Yanis thought carefully and suddenly understood.
Florence had confessed to Zain her love, and the man discovered Yanis’ existence, believing he was eavesdropping. Maybe he would judge that she would resurrect after hearing about it, so he let her stay and wanted her to promise never to bother him again, right?
Was he that scared?
Even though he had decided to give up, Yanis still felt extremely uncomfortable seeing him like this.
Despite that, the girl finally bit her back teeth and then raised her hands to make the promise.
-I assure you that today’s things will not be revealed. I happened to pass by and found nothing. Besides… what you’re worried about won’t happen, so you can rest assured.
Zain arched his eyebrows slightly with eyes full of emotions. He walked a few steps forward, just a step away from Yanis. The man’s specific hormonal aura immediately surrounded Yanis. She was stunned the one who raised her hands and felt her body stiffen from Zain’s sudden approach, .
-What’s bothering me?
His voice was cold, and under the glow of the hallway lights, the man’s silhouette became more and more beautiful. He shone a faint light in the depths of his eyes, looking at her as if he had fixed on a target.
They stared at each other for a while, and for an instant a different emotion seemed to be seen in his eyes.
But soon, he lowered his head quickly and looked down at his tiptoes awkwardly.
-Doesn’t it worry you that I’m bothering you?
I should have misread it, or I might be in a daze. Otherwise … Why did she seem to see a trace of warmth in Zain’s eyes and …
There were others. Yanis didn’t dare to think about it anymore.
“Anyway, it’s all delusions!”
“I’ll never overestimate my own strength!” she mused.
-Don’t worry. I remember what you told me before. I loved you. And I even once gave up my dignity beneath my feet for you….
Zain’s eyes stopped and the girl in front of him lowered her head talking, she looked so aggrieved. Unconsciously, he raised his hand and moved it to the back of his head.
-But now that I think about it clearly, I won’t bother you again and I won’t like you anymore.
The sentence made Zain’s hand stop in mid-air and not move forward. He pressed his thin lips tightly together and frowned.
Yanis still not looking up, closed his eyes and made a breath, exposing all the words in a sigh.
-Since I’ve decided that I won’t love you, I definitely won’t bother you again in the future, so that things that worry you won’t happen. You left me alone because you want to hear me say this. Now I’m telling you everything. Can I… leave?
After speaking, Yanis exhaled quietly.
Indeed, anything could be said when he wasn’t looking at him. If they let him look him in the eyes to say it, he would not speak so softly.
As soon as Yanis raised his head again, Zain’s face had already returned to its cold color and he had withdrawn his hands.
It all seemed never to have happened.
The girl told him. What else could she say?
Yanis wanted to leave, but he did not agree, so he did not dare to go at once. It happened that at that moment they were coming to the bathroom. They were several girls who approached, talking and laughing.
Hearing the sound, Yanis’ expression changed. It was too late to wait for Zain to speak again. After leaving a prayer of farewell and then he took off running towards the other end in a fierce manner.
The pace was panic-stricken, as if she feared they would see her stay with him.
Zain looked at the girl’s staggering back. He regained his gaze after a long time.
When he returned to the banquet, Yanis was panting and felt particularly guilty. He poured himself a glass of juice and then huddled in a corner.
Florence found her after she took a sip.
When she greeted her, Yanis was surprised and almost squirted the juice she had drunk into her mouth, but held her back. As a result, she choked and coughed severely.
The coughing was heard.
Florence handed him two handkerchiefs, amused.
Yanis took it and wiped the corner of his mouth. Tears came from coughing and he wiped the corner of his eye again. She didn’t thank him until she recovered.
Florence looked at her with a meaningful smile.
-You, why are you looking at me?
His scalp was numb as he looked at her. It was probably because he had witnessed the confession at that moment, so he looked away with a guilty conscience, and didn’t dare look at her.
-You have secrets.
Yanis didn’t understand what she said.
Secrets? What did he mean?
He looked at Florence with a dazed expression, wanting to know what she meant and for her to make it clear.
Florence approached him quietly and whispered.
-You’re with Zain, but I didn’t tell me, isn’t it a secret?
Yanis had coughed a lot and his throat was scratchy at that moment. He was going to drink the juice to make her feel comfortable. Unexpectedly, when Florence told her such a thing, she was so frightened that she threw it away.
The sound was heard.
Florence quickly avoided it, then looked at her hopelessly.
-Can you calm down?
-I’m sorry,” Yanis was embarrassed and blushed quickly. She’d been naughty. Compared to the beautiful and noble Florence, she was as vulgar as dust.
Suddenly, she felt sad.
-Relax, I don’t blame you. I just hope you won’t be so suddenly surprised. After all, I’m talking to you. If you go on like this, the juice at this banquet won’t be enough…. Well, let me know more. Let me know more, how long have you two been together?
Yanis grabbed the tissues and was wiping off the dirt. Finally, he finished it, and smiled bitterly.
-You’ve misunderstood. I’m not with him.
“Probably because I eavesdropped on them and then Zain left me, Florence didn’t misunderstand, did she?” he thought.
-“Misunderstanding?” wondered Florence, raising her eyebrows, “Aren’t you a couple? You’re not lying to me?
Yanis didn’t know why a star like her was fond of gossip, so he could only shake his head firmly.
-What good will it do me if I lie to you? Otherwise, I’m quite curious…. You usually film, don’t you? Why…” she fussed at Zain. Yanis felt embarrassed to say the last sentence. Her cheeks blushed.
Looking at her like that, Florence couldn’t help pinching her red and tender little face, -Ask me if you want, why are you so nervous? We’ve already known each other for so long, haven’t we?
After pinching, Florence smiled and explained softly.
-Do you think I like him?
Yanis’ lips parted, -Don’t you?
If she didn’t like him, how could she confess it to him?
