Chapter 15 The Temperature of His Fingers
"Ah!" Lillian was so scared that she could not help crying. She suddenly turned around and then recognize the man standing
behind her.
Then a man was dressed in handmade suits with a bow tie. He was holding a bunch of black roses and standing under the lights
with a handsome and charming temperament. Obviously, he was well dressed, and his deep eyes, like a whirlpool, made her
panic for no reason.
But...
"Archibald! Why are you here? "
"Don’t you know that people could be scared to death?"
Lillian became angry in a moment.
In the middle of the night, the man suddenly stood behind her. If she had heart disease and was timid, she might really faint.
And...
"This is the ladies' room, and you are a man. How did you get in?"
Aren't you ashamed?
"The door is over there, and I have legs." Archibald said tonelessly.
He meant that he just walked in.
But he suddenly stepped forward, and strong coercion made Lillian feel dangerous.
"What...what are you doing here?" Lillian subconsciously aimed at Archibald with something in her hands as an "anti-pervert
weapon". Unfortunately, it was just a bottle of cleansing oil.
"I heard that you work here. I’m here to pick you up." Archibald's tone became mild, and even his facial contour became softer.
He said with a little affection, "It is before dawn, and it’s dangerous for you to go back alone. I happened to pass by and kindly
came to you. I’ll send you back."
Then he stuffed the black rose into Lillian's hands and said, "I bought it at the roadside stall. Just take it."
He vacated his hands, but stayed on the counter at the back, pressing himself over-so that Lillian was circled by him in the
sphere of influence, and there was a big bunch of black roses between them.
Lillian's heartbeat became fast in an instant. He said that he came to pick her up from work and send her home.
She did not believe his nonsense!
There were several doors outside that could come in only by swiping internal cards. He definitely came in by some special
means.
Moreover, black roses of this kind were extremely rare in the market. She did not believe that they were bought at a roadside
stall as he said.
But she really did not understand what Archibald wanted to do.
"Mr. Archibald, if you come to me because I owe you money before, I want to tell you that I have already returned the money to
you. If there's anything else, I'll make it clear to you. I'm a nobody. I can't afford to play cat and mouse with a gentleman like you.
If you want to play games, can you find someone else? I believe that as long as you beckon casually, many women are willing to
play with a man like you."
In this case, Lillian could only think that Archibald liked to play tricks on people. Maybe he had a little interest in her and regarded
her as the object of teasing. Otherwise, why did he always come to her as they were not familiar with each other?
Thinking of this, Lillian said seriously, "I promise. I’m a boring and unpleasant woman. I’m not good-looking or sexy, and my
temper is extremely bad. I am not a good candidate for you to play love games. Please..."
When Lillian had not finished saying, he put his slender fingers on her red lips. The temperature of the fingertips was not high,
but it seemed to burn her heart, making her forget how to react ...
