Haider walked over, coming very close to Avril. His gaze looked casual but also, aggressive. Avril felt a sense of panic from his deep gaze.
She could hear the sound of his breathing approaching her. It was almost as if he were breathing next to her ears.
Avril screamed in her heart, "Stop! Don't come any closer. You've already crossed a safe distance!"
She closed her eyes nervously and pushed her hands forward. "No...."
Huh?
She felt...nothing in the front?
Avril opened her eyes. She saw Haider walking past her and to the black leather couch behind her. He sat down casually on the sofa, crossing his long legs. He looked like a famous male model from a fashion magazine, wild and captivating.
Avril’s hands stopped awkwardly mid-air. "Oh no, I thought too much about this!" she thought.
Haider was very amused by Avril’ s vexed expression. His deep violet gaze flashed with a sense of playfulness, like a majestic eagle circling its helpless prey. He was mighty and oppressive.
However, these emotions disappeared in a flash. His gaze returned to its usual lackadaisical manner. "I'm sorry, I did not reveal my true identity to you earlier. I hope you don’t mind.”
"It's okay, it's okay!" Avril heaved a sigh of relief.
Avril didn't expect that Haider wanted to apologize to her.
She relaxed and walked over to the couch. She sat down awkwardly yet politely. "Well, I was a little upset at first, but after thinking it through, I realized it was not a big deal. After all, we are not really that close, right?"
"Hope he does not take the casual gossip I brought up in the car too seriously!" Avril thought nervously.
Haider seemed not to notice her internal distress. "Well, do you want to make our relationship public, or keep it private?"
"I think it's better to keep it between us," Avril said without hesitation. "If it's made public, I'll be in more trouble in the future."
"Especially with Angie. She wanted to tear me apart and destroy me so badly!" Avril thought angrily.
"Are you afraid that being the president's wife will affect your job?" Haider was a little surprised because he did not expect that she would think so.
"Of course."
"Sure," Haider nodded. "We will maintain our bosssubordinate relationship in the office."
Avril nodded. Just as she was about to ask him about his relationship with Angie, Haider asked, "Where's my coffee?"
"Didn't Angie make one for you?" Avril was confused.
