With an eerie atmosphere pervading the whole house, Alicia didn't dare to look back, only waiting for the man behind her to have a cow.
He remained silent for a long time and finally ordered coldly, "Follow me upstairs."
She followed him and entered the room. Unexpectedly, he took off his suit in anger, threw it on the bed, and suddenly turned back, "Are you desperately curious about me?"
Alicia took a deep breath and answered truthfully, "A little."
"Why?" He raised his eyebrows. "Are you in love with me?"
"No."
Carlos snorted, "You'd better not. Don't say that I didn't remind you. Falling in love with me means falling in love with the devil. If you can bear enormous pain, then you can continue to be curious."
"It's quite normal for anyone to be curious, which doesn't mean love. Besides, no one can predict what will happen in the future. Maybe it's you who will fall in love with me."
"Me?" Carlos seemed to hear the most ridiculous joke in the world and smiled ironically. "When we met for the first time, I've known that you are self-conceited, but you don't think you've overestimated yourself? Who do you think you are? An angel?"
Alicia replied with composure, "I am not an angel, but there is no such a rule that devils must love angels, so it's not impossible for a devil to fall in love with another devil."
She looked as pure and charming as an angel, but she was definitely born to be a devil.
A flicker of surprise appeared in Carlos' eyes, and just as he was about to say something, Alicia's phone rang. She glanced at the number, and walked into her secret room without saying anything.
"Hello?"
"Alicia, why didn't you come back today? Your father and I have been waiting for you all day."
Hearing Holly's voice suggesting spiteful pleasure, she felt extremely disappointed.
"The marriage was decided in a hurry, and I had no time to ask for leave, so I went to school today."
"Oh, well, so you just delayed it, and you'll still come back, won't you?"
This was obviously a provocation. Holly was sure that she wouldn't live a good life, so she deliberately embarrassed her.
"Of course, I will go back with him this weekend."
She emphasized the part of going back with him. Holly just wanted to laugh at her, but she wouldn't be as she wished. From now on, she would never feel humbled in front of that hateful woman!
Hanging up the phone, she took a deep breath, opened the door of the secret room with great determination, and went out.
