Chapter 102
When the man heard this, he couldn’t help but laugh. “Marguerite, just to clarity, I didn’t ask you to help me ashore.”
Marguerite avoided eye contact and sat far away after getting up from the ground.
She touched her mask subconsciously, ensuring it was still perfectly plastered on her face, then let out a sigh of relief.
Frederick popped open an energy drink and guzzled it down; his bobbing Adam’s apple was exuding a unique masculine vibe.
Marguerite accidentally saw this and turned her face away in shyness.
Frederick’s gaze followed her all the time.
Seeing her sitting alone in the corner was like seeing a flower rise unsullied from the mud. She was to be looked at and never played with.
For this moment, his anger seemed to dissipate.
He walked over curiously and started a conversation. “Who sent you here?”
Seriously? Couldn’t this guy dress properly?
His muscles were swaying in front of her, impossible to ignore.
Marguerite’s eyes were fixed somewhere, “I came because I wanted to.”
“You’re afraid to look at me, aren’t you?”
Marguerite gritted her teeth, and her frustrated look was quite adorable, “Go put on some clothes.”
“Feeling shy?”
“No.”
The man chuckled triumphantly, then sat next to Marguerite.
Marguerite plucked up the courage to shift away, but Frederick, as though decided to annoy her, shifted closer.
His thigh was pressing against Marguerite’s skin. Marguerite felt a tingle up her scalp. She jerked her head. “Can you please stop…”
She stopped mid–sentence.
Because she realized that the man was so close. Marguerite was so nervous that she held her breath, her eyes fixed on the man in front of her.
His gaze first lingered on her face, then slowly moved down towards her lips.
The air heated up.
What the hell?
Why was he looking at her so passionately?!
Marguerite felt the tension in the air, so she turned her face away and tried to find a topic to ease the awkwardness,
“Um, I wanted to explain something. There’s really nothing between Steven and me, I was also surprised when he gave my grandma a phone.
I went to a restaurant with a friend and bumped into him. Plus, I wanted to ask about my grandma’s condition, so I agreed to let him drive me home.
Aside from that, we don’t really talk much. If you don’t believe me, you can check my phone.”
“Oh.” The man replied indifferently, his voice devoid of emotion.
What did “Oh” mean?
Marguerite shifted a little and turned to look at him, “If you really don’t care, then you can’t interfere with my normal social activities in the future.”
