Chapter 116 Do You Know What I Like about You
"Didn't I say that as long as you behave well, I'll protect you?"
Jefferson's voice lowered, with a hint of ambiguity, "You behaved really well tonight."
The low and mellow voice added a touch of tenderness at the midnight, even though they were separated by distance, Elianna felt that they were closer now, even than when they were passionately entwined just a moment ago.
Her cheeks flushed and she scolded, "Can't you be more serious?"
"I have even less serious things to say, want to hear?"
Jefferson took another step forward, his gaze filled with unruliness.
Elianna's heart couldn't help but start racing, but she still had some rationality left.
"Asher is in the opposite room, I have to pass by him if I go out, and I'm afraid he'll hear..."
"Then jump down and I'll catch you."
Saying that, Jefferson opened his arms as if to embrace her.
Elianna instinctively looked towards the window. This was the second floor, would it really be okay if she jumped down?
Before she could figure it out, a muffled laughter came from the receiver.
"Anna, you aren't really thinking of jumping down, are you?"
Realizing he was joking, a sense of shame rushed over Elianna. She denied, "Of course not, it's not like Titanic, 'You Jump I Jump,' I'm afraid of death."
Jefferson chuckled, "You have a tough mouth."
Realizing that he was about to leave, Elianna asked a question.
"Why did you meet Nola today?"
Normally, she would never ask such an intrusive question.
But now...
The night was too deep, and this distance, neither far nor near, generated a boldness she had never had before.
She suddenly wanted to ask him if he really wanted a change of taste.
As the silent time grew longer, that courage turned into anxiety and quickly faded away.
Below, Jefferson lit a cigarette. With the smoke, his voice became ethereal.
"Baby, do you know what I like about you? You are tactful. Even if you are insincere, it still makes people comfortable."
"..."
The blush on her face gradually faded and the palm pressed against the window turned cold before she slowly put it down.
"Well, thank you for the praise, Mr. Larsen. I will keep it up."
"Good girl."
When she watched Jefferson leaving, her phone rang.
"Get some rest, Little Rose."
It was teasing her about almost jumping out of the window just now.
Elianna laughed at herself. She must have lost her mind to be moved by Jefferson.
She pushed open the window and the slightly chilly night breeze poured in, gradually waking up her dazed mind.
Instead of pursuing an elusive and ethereal romance, she would like to use those slight differences to protect herself.
With this thought in mind, she typed with her fingers. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
[Romeo, drive safely.]
...
Jefferson held his phone, his fingers pressing firmly on it. Seeing the words on the screen, he smirked.
She was actually teased him.
Their meeting on the balcony really seemed like they were Romeo and Juliet.
"Why are you laughing, Jeff?" Albert glanced at Jefferson from the driver's seat.
Jefferson lowered his head and typed without looking up, "I'm laughing because you're going to die."
Albert's scalp tingled and he pleaded with a bitter face, "Spare me, Mr. Larsen."
-
The next day.
Because she slept too late last night, Elianna woke up feeling dizzy and aching in her head.
So when she saw a suspicious person in her room, she thought it was a ghost and immediately grabbed the alarm clock next to her bed and threw it at the person.
"Ah!"
That supposed ghost was Kenley. She screamed and held her forehead, "Anna, why did you hit me?"
Elianna furrowed her brows, "What are you doing sneaking around in my room?"
"Huh? I wasn't."
Kenley's face clearly showed guilt.
