He did not move. He held his arms against the elevator, and blocked her from getting out.
"It's a beautiful dream that you will fall in love with me again! I know you will!" He was acting like a mad man. It didn't match his identity and image at all.
When the elevator arrived, he picked her up again and headed for her room.
"This is my room. You can go now." She tried to push him out. Lola hated the fact that it seemed he liked to follow her to anywhere she went.
Harry caught her hands and pulled her into his arms. Her face was already touching Harry's chin.
"Get out of here!" Both of them pushed back and forth violently. Finally, Harry slammed the door shut.
Throwing her on the big bed, he immediately pinned her down and looked at her cute little face. "Lola, I'm sorry." He apologized in a sincere tone. Lola couldn't believe it. Before, all his apologies always carried a hint of sarcasm.
But Lola pressed the matter even further. She was not satisfied yet. "Harry, how have you treated me in the past?" When he was happy and in a cheerful mood, he held her gently and sweetly. When he was upset, he tortured her, and pushed her away.
"From now on....."
Lola cut off. "Go away! Don't make any promises to me anymore! Damn it! Don't ever dare promise me anymore. You would just disappoint me!"
From now on? He could only say those words after everything bad he had done to her? She would never listen to his promises again! "We have no future. You go back to your place, and I'll live my life. We don't owe each other!"
Now that he knew she was not the murderer, she was already cleared of the crime. There was no need for them to keep in touch.
Sensing her anger, he caressed her cheeks. "No, you are wrong. I owe you too much. I have to repay you."
"If you think you owe me, then get out of here and never show up again! That's what I want." They should never see each other. That would be the best thing that will happen to her.
She grasped his big hand fumbling her face, and bit him hard. "Don't touch me! Get up!"
He kissed where she had bitten, and then got up from the bed.
Her face blushed with shame when she saw this sweet gesture.
He half crouched beside her to take off her shoes. Then he also took off his own, and went to bed.
He held her in his arms. "Goodnight. It's getting late already."
She wriggled free from his arms and went to the other side of the bed with her back turned to him.
He turned off the bedside lamp and moved closer to her.
She resisted at once. "Don't touch me!"
"Well, I won't touch you. I will just hug you for a while. Let's get some sleep, shall we?"
Lola didn't know how long she struggled with him, but she did not escape from his arms until she fell asleep.
Soon after, the sky brightened up once again. Enduring the pain, he went to the bathroom and took a cold shower.
When he came out, Lola moved a little but fell asleep again. He smiled, took her in his arms, kissed her on the forehead, and went to sleep, too.
By noon of the next day, Lola woke up in his muscular arms.
"Morning." A husky and sensual voice rang over her head.
She remembered that she was at Crown Province right now and Harry followed her here.
She got up from his arms slowly, took the phone out of her bag and dialed a number.
Harry was still lying on the bed, and half-naked. He stared at Lola, who was trying to loosen her tied hair.
"Where are you?" She sounded natural. When she talked to Harry last night, her voice was kind of emotionless.
"Well, have a good day. I'll go back to A Country today and contact you later." Her voice became very soft as she suddenly felt guilty.
After hanging up the phone, Lola went straight to the bathroom and ignored the man in bed.
