My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 160

Lila’s POV

I felt a wave of panic hearing the knocking on the door. Soon, they would be unlocking the door, and Enzo and I would be exposed.

I quickly slid off the counter and adjusted my dress to cover me once again, my fingers trembling as I pulled on my underpants.

Enzo adjusted himself as well, but he didn’t look as concerned. He took his time as he tucked himself into his pants, almost bored.

“We can’t be seen in here together,” I said in a harsh whisper, my voice feeling strained.

He nodded his head only once.

“I need you to trust me,” he said, meeting my eyes.

His demeanor was so calm and unbothered that I instantly started feeling better. I knew at that moment that he had a plan.

Without saying anything he looked up at the window that rested on the top of the wall on the far side of the bathroom.

Was he seriously thinking about climbing through the window?

The footsteps only grew louder; our time was up.

Enzo was already standing on a platform and pushed the window open. He moved with such ease that I was amazed by him. He looked down at me and held out his hand.

“We don’t have time,” he said in a low tone. “We have to go.”

I looked at the bathroom door just as the key was inserted.

I quickly turned back to Enzo and grabbed his hand. With his help, I could climb on the platform and slide out the window. It wasn’t a far drop to the ground, but I managed to climb down with Enzo closely behind me.

Just before we got to the ground, I heard the bathroom door opening.

“That’s odd…” the worker said. “I thought I heard voices.”

Enzo grabbed my hand again and we ran as fast as we could away from the theatre. We only got a few strange looks as we ran into the busy streets and down the long sidewalks. I began to laugh as we picked up speed; Enzo looked back at the building to make sure no one was looking out the window we had just escaped from.

When he didn’t see anybody there, he started to laugh too.

Enzo laughed so rarely that it made my heart skip a beat whenever I got to see it. It made me smile that much more to watch him loosen up and allow himself to have a little fun.

Even if it was naughty fun.

We finally stopped running and I fought to catch my breath while Enzo got us a cab to take us back to the resort.

Once we returned, I was surprised to see that Connie wasn’t there.

It was very late in the evening; we left her alone with Tyler hours ago. I assumed she would be back by now.

“I’ll try her cellphone,” Enzo said with that worried look in his eyes.

He grabbed his phone and called her but frowned immediately.

“Straight to voicemail.”

“Should we go looking for her?”

Just as that question left my lips, the door swung open, and Connie stood there with a dazed smile on her face. Her clothes appeared dirty from the sand at the beach and her hair was messy. I had never seen her look so unkempt before.

She also reeked of boos, so I knew she was intoxicated.

“Connie, what happened to you?” I asked before Enzo had the chance.

“I had the time of my life is what happened,” Connie chuckled, her face reddening slightly as she staggered into the suite. “Tyler was so sweet and so handsome…” She breathed, nearly falling over. “He wanted to walk me to the room, but he was so drunk, and I told the cab driver to just bring him home.”

“You were with Tyler this entire time?” I asked, raising my brows at her.

Hours ago, she was saying she wanted to reject him; it looked as if she had changed her mind.
