Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 722

“Could you give me a shout next time instead of blocking my path?” Sophia grumbled.

“Are you in such a hurry to see me?” Arthur asked with a smile as his eyes narrowed.

Sophia blushed slightly. Turning her pretty face away, she replied, “Who said that? I’m not.”

“Have you made a reservation at a restaurant?”

She nodded. “Uh-huh. I’ve got to get back to work in the afternoon, so let’s eat at a nearby restaurant.”

“Right, let’s go!” Arthur suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed her wrist before taking her out of the building.

Sophia’s heart pounded for a moment. Why is this guy taking me by the hand? There are a lot of my colleagues here. I don’t want anyone to get the wrong idea about me!

In the restaurant, she said to the man across from her on behalf of her father, “Mr. Weiss, I’d like to thank you on my dad’s behalf for returning the company to him.”

Seeing the sincere expression on her pretty face, Arthur replied with a smile, “Is that all you have to say?”

She pursed her lips. “What kind of thanks do you want, then?”

Seeing how tender and bouncy her rosy lips were as she sank her teeth into them, he somehow felt his body tense up. He gave a gulp, saying, “Why bite your lips for no reason? Aren’t you afraid of biting through your lips?”

Sophia had a habit of biting her lower lip when she felt uneasy. When she heard Arthur’s words, her crescent-shaped eyes curved in a smile. “I’m not stupid. Why would I bite my own lips?”

Arthur chided with a serious expression, “Don’t keep biting your lip in front of a guy from now on. Do you know what kind of cue it is to a man?”

Understanding what he meant, Sophia instantly blushed. “I-I’m not trying to seduce anyone. I only do that out of habit,” she explained.

“Get out of the habit,” ordered the man across from her overbearingly.

Sophia nodded obediently. “Okay. I’ll get out of this habit starting from today.”
