Take Me Away novel Chapter 288

"Mr. Terence..."

"Isn't it too distant to call me Mr. Terence now?" At the door of the coffee shop, Clara was a little uneasy about Terence's sudden invitation. But when she heard what he said, she was stunned. Then she raised the corners of her mouth in disbelief and called tentatively, "He... Terence? "

However, Terence just smiled sarcastically and opened the door of the coffee shop for her. "You called me Terence when you jumped into my arms in the hotel on that day. It's strange to call me Mr. Terence now, isn't it? " That was what he meant. He didn't expect that Clara could not hear the implication in his words. Did he really think that the two people were so familiar that they could call each other's name?

There seemed to be some air conditioner in the coffee shop. Clara shivered all of a sudden and stood still, being in a dilemma.

"Mr. Terence, you're laughing at me." "Today you invited me. Is it a banquet of ambush?" she asked, biting her lips and staring into his eyes.

"As long as Miss Clara gives me a satisfactory answer, then it won't be." With a gesture, Terence invited her to enter the shop again.

On her way to the coffee shop, Clara knew the reason why Terence asked her to come. "Mr. Terence, you come to me for Vivian's thing, right?"

"If it weren't for her, do I still have any contact with you?" "Oh, by the way, my assistant is responsible for the cooperation," said Terence ironically.

There seemed to be a hint of panic in Clara's footsteps, and her back was a little cold. Terence always spoke slowly. Even if he wasn't gentle or polite, it could be taken as his politeness. But today, he had said something really cold. Did he know about Vivian? 'No, it can't be. If he knows, he won't have time to look for me...'

While thinking, they two were led to a table by the window by a waiter.

"What can I do for you?"

"A cup of Italian concentrated coffee, without sugar." Clara ordered coldly, without saying anything more.

"Give me a glass of water." Terence uttered. After the waiter nodded and left, he asked, "Why did you order such bitter coffee without sugar?"

"No matter how bitter the coffee is, it can't be bitter for what Mr. Terence is going to say next?" Raising her eyes slightly, Clara looked out of the window. As something came to her mind, she said, "When I first met you, we also sat in a seat by the window, face to face."

"I'm sorry." Terence said flatly, "My memory of that day only belongs to Vivian." He still remembered the look when Vivian mistook Clara's bland date as hers and called him Terence, and when he saw his name on her palm...

"Mr. Terence..."

"Tell me where is Vivian!" Terence suddenly stared at Clara, "You said that day that she left for Y City so as to avoid me.. You know something, right? If I hadn't come to her that day, she would have run away... She didn't expect that I would go, so she ran away in the middle of the night again Tell me, what happened? "

"I don't know." Clara stared back at Terence. Just then, a waiter brought coffee and water to their table, interrupting the undercurrent between the two people. "Please enjoy yourself."

Holding back his anger, Terence took a sip of water. His every act of picking up the glass and drinking water was perfect.

Clara still couldn't help but be confused by him. She took a serious look at him and saw a touch of sadness in his sharp eyes. They hadn't seen each other for two days. But Terence seemed to become thinner?

"I have been looking for her these days." Staring out of the window, Terence said slowly, "She left without saying a word. It was as if she had said goodbye to me in camellia palace that day when she had seen me in a hurry. She suddenly ran away. I couldn't find her... I didn't expect that such a small misunderstanding would make her so angry I think, "said Terence, who suddenly stopped and turned back to look at her." I think that you are hiding something from me, aren't you? "

Clara was holding a cup of bitter coffee and when she heard what Terence said, she didn't stop the action. She raised the cup and took a sip of the coffee. She put it down and said slowly, "Even if Vivian really has something to hide from you, can she tell me?"

It made sense... Terence frowned.

After a moment of silence, Terence spoke first, "Since you know nothing, then I have nothing to say. I just think this is the last time we meet alone."

As soon as Clara took a sip of her coffee, she realized that Terence's words were more bitter than coffee.

"Why?" Clara asked, unwilling to give up.

"Miss Clara, don't you understand?" Terence frowned, "I told you that I liked Vivian and you couldn't be my girlfriend. I thought you knew it. I never expected that things would come to this. I don't know what I did to make you misunderstand me... I don't like you. Please leave me alone. "

Clara's heart skipped a beat. Holding the coffee cup, she didn't say anything.
