Facade of Love (Yvette Scott and Idris Young) novel Chapter 334

Chapter 334 It’s Me, Don’t Be Afraid 

There was a buzz in my head, and I involuntarily let out a loud scream. “Ah!!!!” 

My eyes were shut tightly due to fear. I retreated into my office and ended up crouching by the door, my legs shaking from the shock. 

Knock, knock… There came a knocking on the door, followed by a man’s anxious voice.” Yvette, are you okay?” 

I snapped back to my senses upon hearing the familiar voice loud and clear. After being stunned for a few seconds, I then heard the magnetic voice of the man outside say, “Open the door. It’s me. Don’t be afraid.” 

Idris? 

When the name popped into my mind, my fear dissipated in an instant. I got up and went to open the office door, but my hands were trembling. The door remained partially blocked by me. I had initially intended to move out of the way, but I was still trembling from the scare and could not budge. 

The person outside pushed the door slightly, revealing a narrow opening. He could not enter fully and sounded puzzled as he called out, “Yvette?” 

My voice was somewhat hoarse as I replied, “Wait… just a moment.” 

With great effort, I managed to move aside, allowing the person outside to enter. He was a tall man, and once inside, he looked at me with a worried expression and asked, “Are you okay?” I pursed my lips and looked at him. My temper flared as I asked, “Why are you here?” 

He examined me from head to toe. After seeing that I was fine, he breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, “I came to take you out for dinner.” 

“I’m not hungry,” I replied curtly. I wanted to go back to my desk, but my legs felt weak, making it difficult to walk. I ended up shuffling a few steps and sitting in a nearby chair. 

My subtle movements did not go unnoticed by Idris. He looked at me, his voice carrying a hint of amusement as he said, “Since when did you become so timid?” 

I was not scared now, but I was more irritated than anything else. I glanced at him and retorted, “Did you find it amusing to scare me?” 

He appeared somewhat helpless, and a faint smile played on his lips as he said, “I didn’t scare you on purpose. I just called your name, and you screamed in fear without even looking at me. You were in such a panic that it startled me.” 

I ignored his explanation. I was no longer in the mood to continue reviewing the documents. After sitting for a while, waiting for the numbness in my legs to subside, I began to gather my things, preparing to leave. 

Idris stuck to me like glue, following me around. Annoyed by this, I turned to glare at him and asked, “What are you doing?” 

He remained gentle, showing no signs of irritation, and said, “I’m taking you to dinner. Skipping meals is bad for your stomach.”

2/2 

I pursed my lips and replied with annoyance, “I don’t need you to worry about that.” 

He did not argue with me but continued to follow me. I left my office and noticed a beautiful bouquet of gardenia flowers not far from the office area. I liked flowers, especially well- packaged and fresh bouquets like this one. It emitted a faint floral fragrance, and out of appreciation for beautiful things, I took a few extra glances at it. 

Afterward, it dawned on me that it was quite late, and everyone had left the office. Although I merely took a slight glance around, there were no flowers here before, so these must have been recently placed. 

Idris approached and picked up the bouquet of gardenias. He looked at me and said, “I saw these on the way and thought you’d like them, so I bought them.” 

I ignored him. I stopped looking at the flowers and did not acknowledge him. I simply left the office area. 

I could hear footsteps behind me, knowing it was Idris following. I did not want to talk to him and continued to the parking lot, with Idris still trailing me, persistent as ever.
