To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1163

While Jenny and Alec were flirting with each other, Stephanie ran into someone she wished she wouldn't meet. She had just got off work when she noticed a man standing in the elevator lobby of her apartment. She immediately halted in her tracks as she stared at him in astonishment and nervousness.

She did not know why he came to meet her this late in the day. Perhaps, she was a little traumatized and scared of him due to the unsavory incidents that she went through in the past.

Still, she gritted her teeth and went up to him with much courage. She kept a few steps in the distance between them, which was just perfect for a conversation or an immediate escape.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

Paul threw away the cigarette butt between his fingers and glanced at her. "Why are you standing so far away from me?"

She ignored him and reiterated, "Why are you here?"

"Nothing. I just wanted to ask if you're with Leonard Sullivan now." Alec had broken the news to him with the intention of making him give up on Stephanie. Unfortunately, Alec underestimated Paul's obsession with the woman. How could Paul give her up so easily? Once he got the news, he immediately showed up at the entrance to her apartment to ask her about it.

Feeling jittery, she tried hard to mask her anxiety. "Yes. Leonard is my boyfriend now."

Paul's expression crumbled. The veins on his forehead bulged in anger, and he appeared to be ready to give her a beating at any second. She was afraid of him and took a few steps backward. "Paul Wagner, do not try anything funny! I told you long ago that I was not into you anymore."

"Steph, how could you say you are not into me anymore? I don't believe you." Paul was living in his fantasy and refused to believe she was in love with another man.

She was troubled and at a loss for how to handle him. "Paul, let's look to the future. We deserve to live our lives."
