She was indeed really clever. She pretended to be compliant with him, but she actually set him up and ran away? If she hadn't returned by herself, he would really have had a headache as he didn't know how he should find her.
Over the past few days, his heart felt empty. He had no motivation to do anything at all! However, ever since he heard that she had booked a flight back and even boarded the plane, he was energized once again. He wasn't bored anymore even when he was attending business receptions. Lowering her head, Victoria bit her lips tightly, regretful to the core. If she had known that he would not let her go, no matter how painful it was in foreign countries, she would have endured it for a few more days. Or she should have landed in a different city! Oh my god, she was really out of her mind! However, when she reflected upon it, she put herself through a mess and f*cked up her life just for that man. She even turned down a lot of business offers. She suddenly felt that her decision was understandable.
Slowly, she lifted her head and said, "I'm just going out to take a walk..." That was right! She didn't owe him anything. Why should she be afraid of him? As she thought about it, she subconsciously straightened her back a little, "I want to go home!" "Is this the answer you want to give me?" He looked at her coldly. There was an obvious displease and contemplation in Trevor's eyes, as well as a few other emotions that Victoria couldn't see through.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSince she was already at a dead end, Victoria gritted her teeth and threw caution to the wind.
"Yes! I don't like you, and I have nothing to ask of you. No matter what you do, I still won't agree to your conditions!" After shouting without a pause, Victoria clenched her fists tightly but unconsciously shrank her neck. Trevor only looked at her with a serious look in his eyes for two seconds. There were no other emotions he was showing other than solemness. After a while, sunfathomable words cout of his mouth.
"Is that so?" All in a sudden, Victoria did not quite believe her ears and eyes, but she nodded constantly and subconsciously! "Who's the person that you like?" Trevor's voice was surprisingly calm, but Victoria was alert with her hair standing on end, "Why are you asking this?" "I need to know who beat me. Then, I can let you go in peace!" The unexpected words made Victoria's heart sank inexplicably. Suddenly, she felt a little uncomfortable. Did it mean that he was going to give up? She sensed that his reaction was not the sas before. It was as if it was an illusion to her. She quickly shook her head, but she stayed cautious. "Don't you... already know?" Apart from Anthony, she didn't have any other past relationships. Her first love was ruined because of him! Thinking of that, Victoria had an indescribable feeling in her heart. In fact, her relationship with Trevor was much more intimate than the one she had with Anthony.
Subconsciously, her eyebrows were tinged with melancholy that couldn't be dismissed.
After staring at her for a few seconds, Trevor suddenly stood up. Acting like a mouse who saw a cat, Victoria turned around and took a few steps back. Her pupils dilated. Trevor suddenly spoke after that. "You can leave!" "Eh?" With a scream of excitement, Victoria was dumbfounded. She pointed to the door for a long tand said slowly, "Can I really leave now?" "That's right!" As he turned to one side, Trevor's body was surrounded by a cloudy aura.
Feeling the loneliness and coldness emanating from him, Victoria suddenly felt a little sorry for him. She really wanted to ask what had happened to him, so she opened her mouth, but when she was about to speak, she swallowed her words back. Then, she quickly put on her coat, wrapped herself in it, and pulled the leather box out as if there was a beast chasing after her. She trotted all the way and rushed to the gate in one breath, then only did she breathe a sigh of relief, but she couldn't help halting for a few seconds.
Did she really manage to escape? Did he really let her go? Victoria was supposed to be ecstatic, but it felt like a feverish dream. She wasn't as happy as she had imagined. Instead, her mind was occupied by the depressive figure who had finally released her! Why did he seem to be very hurt and pitiful? "What am I thinking about?" She gave herself a hard knock on the head and was shocked by the intrusive thought she had in her mind, "This is too terrifying! Why pity a bully like him?" She shook her body, which was full of goosebumps, then she cback to her senses. Victoria suddenly realized that the high-end residential area where she was at was a little far from the main road. There were no cars on the wide street. She exhaled as she held the handle of the suitcase, could not help stomping her foot. "You're in the dumps! You still have the heart to sympathize with others. You're better off pitying yourself!" After looking around for a while, she took out her cell phone. F*ck? Where's this place? Should she ride a taxi or ask someone to cpick her up? Should she call Alicia or Anthony? Victoria looked at her cell phone, trying to locate where she was at, as she looked at the quiet road. Victoria felt depressed, It didn't matter who the person was. Leaving this tiger's den was the best plan.
While pondering, she pulled her suitcase and randomly chose a direction to head in. She was in a dilemma as she fixed her gaze on Anthony's number. Before she could call Anthony, a sudden honk cfrom behind her. There was a dazzling light that cobliquely with the honking of a car in the blink of an eye, a black car had slowly stopped beside her, and a middle-aged man got out of it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Miss Atlas, Master Trevor askedto see you off..." Mr. Duff? Victoria grabbed tightly onto her suitcase and quickly waved her hand, saying, "No, there's no need! I've already called a taxi!" What was the meaning of that? Did he want to take her back again? The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and the meticulous man said respectfully.
"Miss Atlas, this is an upscale residential area that occupies hectares of land. Noumegistered Sof land. vehicles are allowed to enter! Master Trevor has ordered that you must be e sent hsafely. Please givea chance to do so!" The man's attitude was casual, but his words and requests showed slight persistence.
After the confrontation, Victoria did not know why, but she eventually gave up, "Then... Thank you! I'm sorry to trouble you!" "It's alright!" After that, the man took her suitcase. He opened the car door for her before putting the suitcase in the back of the car.
Seeing that the car reached a junction and turned around, Victoria couldn't help but stuck out her tongue. Phew, did she really go in the wrong direction? She held her breath until the car turned to a familiar street. She breathed a sigh of relief, but another feeling of confusion arose in her heart.
Why was he so considerate? What happened to him, for him to change into such a different person?
When she arrived at her house and finally lay down on the familiar big bed, Victoria was still in a trance and be could not could not believe what she had seen. Her heart was pounding restlessly. She raised her hand and pinched her cheek. Ouch! It was true! She was too tired. After opening and
closing her eyes for several times, tossing and turning, she fell asleep. That night, Victoria had a strange dream. In the dreamy she was m followed by a big tiger. When she ran, it ran. When she walked, it followed. If she stopped, it would stop, too. It crouched at her feet like a cat. When she wanted to gently stroke it, the tiger suddenly sprung up and opened its mouth to pounce on her...
