Chapter 806 A Matter of Being Brave or Cowardly
She didn’t know how long this farce would last, let alone whether she could return to him. She didn’t want to keep him waiting.
Hearing that, Alexander suddenly stopped and stood where he was without looking back. Not long later, he suddenly turned around and walked toward her swiftly before holding her face in his hands, going in for a passionate kiss. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he kissed her.
Meanwhile, her heart ached as she felt his tears on her lips, and she finally responded to his kiss. To them, it felt as if the end of the world was coming; not being able to meet someone you loved felt like the end of the world, after all.
It was a heartbreaking kiss. Alexander pulled away when both of them couldn’t hold in their sorrow anymore and broke into tears.
He leaned his forehead against hers as he wiped her tears away and responded stubbornly, “Don’t you ever think of ditching me.”
Elise couldn’t suppress her feelings for him anymore and went in for a hug.
“Promise me that you’ll be safe.”
“I promise you.” He consoled her by caressing her head.
They stayed in each other’s embrace quietly for a few minutes. Alexander then turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
Two days later, Jamie turned up at the vehicle modification club with takeout and offered it to Narissa as a form of apology. “Hey, I got some steak and desserts from a five-star hotel. Would you like to have some?”
Hearing that, she lifted her head and took a look at him without saying anything. Then, she got out from under the hydraulic car lift as she took off her gloves. Just as she was about to receive the takeout, Jayden’s sound was suddenly heard coming from the door.
“Mr. Keller, you’re here too. What a coincidence! I was telling Narissa that the three of us should have lunch together if you have the time.”
“Unfortunately, I normally have meals with my business partner, so I’m afraid that we can’t go for meals together.” Jamie’s expression turned glum as he took back the takeout. With that, Narissa awkwardly retracted her stretched out hand, looking displeased.
“No problem. We can always arrange for it when you’re free,” Jayden replied before looking over at Narissa. “Are you good to go?”
“Where are you guys heading to at such an hour?” Jamie asked impatiently.
“Narissa mentioned that she was interested to see how a reporter works, and I just received news that there will be an illegal trade happening at the port. As such, I was thinking of bringing her along to get a feel of the nature of my job.” Jayden smiled.
“Since you mentioned that it is going to be an illegal trade, I’m sure that those people involved are normally vicious outlaws. Don’t you think it would be dangerous to bring a girl along?” Jamie questioned.
“Well…”
“How dangerous could it be? Don’t forget that we managed to beat up that many men the other time.”
“Do you think this is the matter of being brave or cowardly? Don’t forget that matters like these can’t be resolved just by taking a few pictures. You might get killed if they find out that they’ve been exposed.” Jamie was getting anxious.
“If everyone thinks like you, there wouldn’t be any justice in this world.” She then tossed her gloves at Jamie and patted on his shoulder as she said, “Just look forward to us being awarded the best citizen award and hitting the headlines!”
