We Will Collide Someday by Scarlett Sanchez novel Chapter 244

Chapter 244 Go to the Hotel

Alexa pursed her lips, embarrassed. She pushed Terrence away and hurried into the elevator.

They were the only ones in the cramped elevator. Terrence followed closely behind her. Alexa pretended to look at the display screen as if nothing had happened.

"Alexa, are you free tonight?"

Terrence was careful, like a kid asking for praise from his parents.

"I still have work to do."

"You can do it tomorrow. You should have some rest now."

Alexa pushed away strands of hair on her temples and knew that her makeup was smudged without looking at the mirror.

This made Alexa even more insecure and unconfident to confront Terrence.

She said dully, "I know. Do not lecture me."

Terrence got a bit anxious. "I care about you, Alexa. Look at you now. How can I leave you alone?"

Alexa looked down to examine herself, only to find that her neckline was very low.

As she had an allergy, red marks were visible on her neck.

"It is not what you think."

Alexa blushed, her voice trembling.

"What did I think?"

Terrence got closer and put his arm around her shoulder. Alexa felt that the air got much hotter.

Caught off guard, Alexa stayed in his arms.

Terrence's profound gaze went all the way down and settled on her red marks.

He knew they were not hickeys, but inexplicably, Terrence felt jealous.

Terrence elongated the word a bit. "Tell me."

Alexa was just about to speak when her phone buzzed and a notification popped up.

She heaved a sigh of relief and hurried out of the door.

"Alexa, go to my place tonight."

"No way. I have a son and a boyfriend. Who gives you the right to take me home?" Alexa refused.

"Well, if you don't want to go to my home, let's go to the hotel."

Alexa was so pissed off that she stopped.

"You are such a jerk!"

"You are so beautiful when you are swearing. I like it." Terrence took Alexa's hand and kissed the back of it.

Alexa's face fell, but Terrence became even bolder.

"Your beloved boyfriend is not here. You can only go with me."

"I have my car."

"I insist on driving you home."

With that, Terrence picked up Alexa and put her down on the passenger seat.

"We used to be a couple. Don't you want to talk about those old times?"

"I don't want to talk. I don't like you," Alexa said stubbornly.

"It does not matter. I like you." Terrence did not flinch.

Alexa still found the latter part of the sentence confusing. She even suspected that she had misheard.

Terrence said he liked her?

Terrence liked her?

"Is that so? I am so down on my luck," Alexa said coolly.

Terrence chuckled and then remained silent.

He brought Alexa back to the villa in the city center.

"Take a shower."

Terrence found a sleeping robe, threw it to her, leaned against the door frame lazily, and sized Alexa up.
