Lie To Me novel Chapter 52

I rode the elevator down the basement and when it opened, my heart automatically beat so widely that I think it will jump out of my ribcage.

He's there, Elijah, leaning against his car as it patiently waits for me. He was looking at his shoes, unaware of me coming closer to him.

"Eli," I called him.

His head automatically shot up and looks at me. He's eyes were full of unfathomable emotions.

"Hi," I said again.

Elijah stood and smiled at me. "Hi," he said.

"Are you going home?" I asked.

He shook his head. "I'm waiting for you," he answered.

I nodded.

"Paano pala kung hindi ako uuwi ngayon. Mag iintay ka rito mag damag?" I asked.

He smiled and took a stepped forward closer to me. "You know I'm always willing to wait for you," he said.

I bit me lips, suppressing a smile to come out.

Hanzel is right. I shouldn't have prolonged this. I know why I was so annoyed at him the past few days and it is because I'm jealous. I'm jealous of how Ms. Vera can touch him publicly and I can't.

It was my fault too, I made our situation complicated.

"Are you done avoiding me?" He asked.

"I won't be here if I still am," I said and he sighed.

"I miss you," he said, looking straight to my eyes.
