Yanis was stunned for fully 10 seconds before she got up and wiped her saliva on the corner of her mouth.
“What are you doing? Why are you standing here to watch me sleep? It scares me.”
Alice crossed her arms in front of her chest, “Why don’t you sleep on the sofa instead of in the room?”
“Yes, Yanis, why are you sleeping on the sofa? Did you come back late last night?” Jack said.
Hearing that, Alice seemed to capture something suspicious, narrowing her eyes.
“You came back late? How late?”
Yanis dare not look at Alice’s eyes.
“Last night...”
“Nothing happened last night!” Yanis stood up, blushed, and then ran upstairs while shouting, “I am too sleepy today. I will ask for leave, I want to sleep all day.”
She did not give Alice any opportunity to ask but directly got into the room.
Yanis leaned against the door, panting, her ears reddening as she thought of what had happened the night before.
She bit her lower lip, took off her shoes and dived into the quilt.
What happened last night occurred to her mind.
She went to Zain's company to wait for him. When Zain saw her, he did not think much but let her get into the car.
Because two people sat in the back seat, Yanis was nervous and from time to time she looked up at Zain who was next to her.
He sat there expressionless. His profile was handsome and his breath was calm, charming.
Yanis was obsessed and thought of what Alice said to her.
If it were not Alice, she might not have come to see him.
Naturally she got no opportunity to sit in Zain's car.
At this thought, Yanis coughed and asked in a low voice, “Mr. Nelson... Have you had your supper yet?”
As soon as the words were out, Yanis almost wanted to bite off her tongue.
He just got off work. What kind of stupid question was she asking?
She regretted it, but it had been said. And she could only wait for his answer.
“No.”
Zain replied simply.
Yanis secretly took a look at him and found he even did not move his eyes. She was upset. He seemed to be cold to her since he rejected her last time.
He made it very clear to her that he would not like her.
But Yanis could not restrain her feelings for him.
“Shall we have dinner together?”
After that, Yanis was nervous, afraid Zain would refuse, “I will pay for the bill!”
Zain paused and looked at her calmly.
Yanis was too nervous to breathe, biting lower lip, looking at him with a pale face.
“Well?”
Seeing that her lips trembling, Zain frowned and wondered what was wrong with this woman.
There was appeal in her eyes, so Zain did not bear to refuse her but nodded.
Just for a moment, Yanis was excited and seemed to be hard to believe it.
“You, you agree?”
