really cares about is what happened back then- Nathan thought, his face darkening a little as he drew in another breath.

What happened back then was just too messy. It took him a long time to drag himself out of that dark place.

That was a side of him he never wanted anyone to see.

Maybe everyone thought he just went abroad to study, then started a company overseas, and slowly built it up until he became who he was today.

Everyone assumed Nathan’s life was all smooth sailing, but only he knew what it took to claw his way out of the depths.

There was no way he could ever let Eliana see that broken, ugly part of himself.

So even though he could sense how much she cared, Nathan still kept it to himself.

Irene really was the number one shipper for Natha and Eliana. Irene actually went out of her way to book them a couple’s private room.

As soon as they stepped inside, Eliana couldn’t help but frown at the flirty, suggestive atmosphere.

She’d figured eating at Irene’s place would be less awkward, but wow, she’d totally miscalculated. This was way more embarrassing than she’d expected.

So when Irene led them into the private room and was about to leave, Eliana quickly grabbed her arm. “You’re not busy, right? Come join us for dinner!”

Irene glanced at Nathan, caught his subtle expression, and instantly understood. She turned to Eliana and said, “Sorry, Eliana, I’ve got other tables to look after. I can’t just hang out here and eat with you two.

“See that little bell over there? If you need anything, just give it a ring. I will come running.”

Irene gave Eliana a helpless look as she gently freed her arm and headed out.

With Irene saying that, Eliana could only accept it and let her go

Eliana was the one who picked this place, so even if Irene had played her, she just had to go along with it and sit down.

As long as Eliana wasn’t thinking anything naughty, it didn’t matter if Irene had turned the whole room into some kind of love hotel.

Thinking that, Eliana sat down, totally unfazed.

But it didn’t take long for Eliana to realize she’d totally underestimated Irene’s taste for drama; she’d actually turned the whole private room into a full–on love hotel.

The sultry lighting and background music were one thing, but with streamers drifting around and dry ice tog rolling in Irene had really gone all out, making the place look like a set for some over–the–top romance scene.

And the killer part was with all that flirty lighting, Nathan looked even more unattainable and elegant, like someone one could only admire from alar.

Eliana had been about to explain that this whole private room setup really wasn’t her idea.

But just straight

oked up, a beam of purple light swept over Nathan, making him look like some mysterious, regal prince

rama.

Seeing her stare, Nathan tilted his head up just a bit, and from Elana’s angle, his jawline looked absolutely perfect.

Her breath hitched, and she couldn’t help but swallow hard. She gripped her fork tight, screaming at herself inside, ‘What the hell am I doing? I’m actually drooling over Nathan. I’ve seriously been single for way too long!

But honestly, it had been so long since she’d had sex.

The more Eliana thought about it, the crazier it sounded. Eliana shut down those wild thoughts before they could spiral and gritted her teeth.

Truth be told, Nathan wasn’t holding it together much better himself.

Eliana was drop–dead gorgeous, but she always acted all fierce and untouchable around him.

Now, with all that sultry lighting, she looked softer, almost delicate, and he could swear her cheeks were tinged with a shy blush.

Nathan figured it was probably just the lighting messing with his head, but his heart was pounding out of control anyway.

Especially when Eliana glanced up and their eyes locked, for a moment, Nathan literally forgot how to breathe.

The vibe was getting way too intense, and in this private room, his feelings for Eliana were going totally off the charts, multiplying by the second.

Afraid he might actually lose control and do something stupid, Nathan tried to play it cool, set down his fork, and mumbled under his breath, “I’m just going to hit the restroom.”

Eliana nodded quickly.

Once Nathan walked out, Eliana finally let out a huge sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Nathan headed to the smoking area outside, lit up a cigarette, and tried to steady himself.

Even out here, he couldn’t get Eliana out of his mind. He kept replaying how she looked back in that private room,

Every single thing she did, no matter how normal, was somehow impossibly seductive to him.

Even just tucking her hair behind her ear had him swallowing hard, his throat suddenly dry.

Nathan couldn’t help but feel a little ridiculous.
