Before the voice was fully heard, Zain gripped her wrist tightly. After that, her whole body fell into his arms uncontrollably by force.
The distance, which was not too long, was quickly shortened.
Breathing could be heard from both sides and the breath surrounded each other.
Yanis looked at Zain transfixed, who was very close.
He had a really beautiful face, but not flashy and arrogant, but deep, firm and introverted. Although his aura looked heavier than usual at that moment, he was still restrained.
If it wasn’t for the strong smell of alcohol entangled with him and the brutal blow, Yanis couldn’t conclude that he had drunk too much.
Because his eyes were so bright that it frightened him.
-What… -Yanis asked him faintly, but soon fell silent.
Because Zain suddenly came a few minutes closer to him, he exhaled a hot breath in Yanis’ face. The two faced each other, face to face and nose to nose.
The masculine and exclusive aura surrounded her. Yanis froze in place with eyes so tense and wide that she didn’t even dare to blink, and even her breathing slowly stopped.
For Zain was very close to her then, so close that as long as she leaned forward, she could kiss him.
But Zain was still gradually moving forward. He was getting closer and closer to her breath. Yanis was so nervous that she did not dare to move. She flickered her eyelashes slightly. The hand unconsciously grasped the palm.
It was the first time…
It was the first time Zain had approached her proactively. His beautiful face grew larger and larger in front of her eyes, so close that she could not see him clearly even with the focus of her eyes.
At the banquet, she drank the alcohol herself.
She would have wanted to remember him at that moment. “Did you know it was an indirect kiss?” she thought.
But after another thought, how could Zain not understand? After all, she had drank him in. If she didn’t like it, she wouldn’t drink it again. She could pour herself another glass.
Seeing that her thin lips were about to touch his, Yanis slowly closed his eyes and unconsciously grabbed her neck.
Maybe… he had feelings for her too.
It was just that he had held back too much before, so no one noticed.
So… she found him.
Yanis felt sweetness in his heart, which was beating fiercely.
However, after waiting a long time, the kiss he imagined did not touch him. Yanis’ eyelashes trembled slightly, wondering if he should open his eyes at that moment.
Perhaps he was preparing? Or was it that he wasn’t ready yet?
“I’ll wait a little longer.” he mused.
Yanis continued to wait for a while, but he didn’t get what he wanted.
Suspicious in his heart, he slowly opened his eyes.
Little did she know that as soon as she opened, she looked into a pair of cold eyes. And Yanis was pushed before she could react!
Originally, she fell into Zain’s arms. After being pushed, her back touched the back of the chair again. She was so confused that she did not react.
She sat blankly for a while before she remembered what had just happened.
When Zain pushed her away, his face was filled with angry color and he looked very annoyed and impatient. It was the first time Yanis had seen such an expression.
So why did he have that expression?
It was he who suddenly threw her into his arms, wasn’t it?
It was he who suddenly leaned in, wasn’t it?
So why… did he suddenly show that expression? Was it because… he couldn’t accept to kiss her?
Or was it because he felt nauseous when he wanted to approach her, that’s why that kind of irritability arose?
The more she thought about it, the more Yanis’ heart sank. Sitting on the seat, she felt as if she fell into an ice cave.
After Zain pushed her away, she sorted her thoughts for a while before speaking softly.
-I’m sorry. I’ve had too much to drink today.
That’s why he did it impulsively, unable to control himself. He pulled the girl into his arms and then pulled her closer and closer.
It wasn’t until later that Zain saw her trembling eyelashes. It brought him back to his senses and then it took him a lot of effort to push her away.
Fortunately, his willpower was strong enough. Otherwise, the faint scent of the girl might drive him mad, not to mention the appearance of her red lips twitching, taking the initiative to close her eyes.
His apologetic voice was heard coming from the side, but Yanis smiled bitterly after hearing it. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath without replying anything to her.
He looked at the colorful neon lights receding outside the window. They shone like stars, illuminating the quiet, dark night, but couldn’t bring clarity to Zain’s heart.
She thought she might have a little affection for herself, so she hurried to the police station, took her to the hospital, allowed her to go to the company to deliver the food to him, and returned to her office. Finally, he even took her to the banquet … .
All of that had caused Yanis to be excited.
No, not only her, but the people around her felt that way. They all thought that Zain did everything special for her, therefore, they convinced her.
Even Yanis was fooled by that illusion, thinking that she was particular to Zain in fact.
It wasn’t until that moment, when he pushed her away with an annoyed look, that Yanis suddenly reacted.
It was all a dream.
The times she had rejected him to herself was enough to wake her up.
Only she, the fool, would run to him when he beckoned.
Yanis leaned back slowly, closing his eyes.
Ridiculous. Yanis Saenz…
“No one would be more ridiculous than you, how can you… be so stupid?”
“You don’t understand other people’s rejections. When they hook a finger, you’ll just go on and then take it all as real.” he thought.
They dropped to freezing point in an instant the atmosphere and temperature in the car. The two didn’t talk anymore. Zain was upset at that moment. He didn’t know if his actions scared her or what she was thinking.
However, he really drank too much, so he shouldn’t talk about it at the moment.
Tomorrow…
After she arrived at the company, they would talk again.
Thinking about it that way, Zain decided in his heart.
Santino drove to the first floor of Yanis’ house. When he got off, Yanis opened the door by herself, -Thank you, I’m leaving now.
Then she left barefoot, without turning her head back.
Zain vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but he only thought that she had been frightened, or that she was getting nervous again. He did not think about other aspects.
Santino sensed that Yanis’ face was wrong. I knew what happened in the car a moment ago. As an old man with Zain for so long, Santino clearly knew that those actions were definitely not the frivolous actions.
But for Zain, he himself might feel that his behavior was like that, so he suddenly pushed Yanis away.
It was simply unknown what Miss Alice would think.
Then Santino quietly recalled it.
-Sir, Miss Yanis….
-I know what you mean. I’ll explain tomorrow. Let’s go back first.
