Upon hearing him say that, Cheyenne had no more energy to continue being angry. She took a deep breath, trying to persuade herself to calm down and not to be provoked by Kelvin.
"Move aside, don't block my way."
She crossed her arms and expressionlessly bumped into Kelvin's body with her shoulder, then walked towards his luxurious car.
Kelvin wasn't angry either. His long, cold, deep-set eyes glanced at her legs, and a hint of a sultry thought formed in his mind. One day, he would make her unable to walk and willingly lie in his arms, letting him hold her.
He caught up with her.
Cheyenne habitually sat in the passenger seat. As soon as she got into the car, a tall, dark shadow enveloped her.
When the man approached, the cold scent of mint emanating from him tickled her nose, and even penetrated her heart, bringing a hint of coolness to this scorching summer day.
She became nervous subconsciously, and her body stiffened as she looked at Kelvin's handsome face, which was getting closer and closer. Her voice even became somewhat hoarse.
"You..."
Little did she know that he just chuckled and then reached out his long, well-defined hand to gently pass by her eyes, fastening the seatbelt near her head.
Thoughtfully, he buckled it for her.
With his head slightly lowered, from Cheyenne's perspective, she could see the dense, fan-like eyelashes casting a black shadow in his eyes.
After doing all this, he looked at her with his shiny eyes, and his sexy, rosy lips lightly opened as he suddenly whispered in her ear, "Your heartbeat was so fast just now!"
Hmm.
Cheyenne bit her lip, unsure of how to refute his claim after he exposed her nervousness. She simply turned her head away from him and said, "It's just because of the hot weather. Don't overthink it. It's normal for a person's heartbeat to accelerate during summer and slow down during winter. It's basic knowledge."
She almost wanted to applaud herself for such a perfect explanation. It was truly professional.
Kelvin looked at her pretending to be calm and felt his heart fill up with her presence... He turned his head, started the engine, and drove.
"Is that so? You're a doctor, so I should believe you, right?"
"Of course you should."
Cheyenne pouted her red lips, raised her delicate face, and with her pleased appearance, she looked like a cheerful cat.
A little hot.
But it wasn't because of the weather; his heart was starting to warm up.
Kelvin turned on the car's air conditioning and casually pressed the switch on the sound system. A magnetic voice filled the air and resonated in her ears.
"Do you mind if I listen to music?" He asked.
Cheyenne furrowed her eyebrows. She knew her place and was self-aware. "This is your car, and I'm just hitching a ride."
This answer made Kelvin successfully darken his face. Did Cheyenne really want to keep things clear, clean, and distinct between them?
A few seconds later, a melodious and soothing song played in the car, flowing like a stream, resonating in their ears.
Kelvin, who was busy all the time, was listening to music so attentively for the first time.
