Chapter 4 Accelerating Heartbeat
Lily's cheeks instantly turned red, as brilliant as the rising morning glow. Her head exploded with a buzzing sound, and her whole body seemed to be frozen in place, too stiff to move.
She never expected that the man with the fierce voice on the phone would be so gentle and handsome. He only needed to stand there to be so handsome that people couldn't take their eyes off him. However, the cold and distant temperament he exuded made her hesitate and dare not approach him easily.
He seemed to have just finished a shower, his short hair was still a little wet, and his eyes and brows revealed a bit of coldness and laziness, which added to his charming charm.
Lily nodded shyly, blushing and whispering, "It's me."
" Follow me." The man uttered two words concisely and powerfully, then turned and walked towards the elevator.
Lily stood up stiffly and followed with a dizzy head, as if being pulled by an invisible force.
…
The design here fully demonstrates the luxury of a high-end apartment, and the layout of two households per elevator is particularly spacious. After exiting the elevator, Leo easily unlocked the door with his fingerprint.
With a soft "beep", he pushed the door open and said casually, "Come in."
Lily swallowed her saliva and stepped into the room carefully. To her, this room seemed unusually spacious, about 200 square meters. The interior furnishings were simple yet stylish, mainly in gray and white tones, and the details revealed a low-key and noble taste.
She heard that the houses here were expensive and that they were occupied by high-end talents in society. From the luxurious facilities in the lobby downstairs, it was clear that ordinary people would have to work hard for many years to own such a house.
Lily stood at the entrance, cowering like a frightened little mouse. Leo closed the door, opened the cabinet at the entrance, and casually threw her a pair of disposable slippers. Lily took off her shoes obediently and put her feet into the slippers.
Walking into the living room, the man sat lazily on the sofa, leaning back slightly, with his legs crossed, looking casual and comfortable. His deep eyes looked back and forth at her, revealing his straightforward curiosity and exploration without disguising. Lily felt like a commodity waiting to be sold, being scrutinized by his eyes.
She just stood in the middle of the living room, head bowed, feeling uneasy. Her head was in a mess, buzzing. Although no sound was made on the surface, she felt that her head was full of deafening roars. The man's eyes shot straight at her like a sharp sword, his pupils were dark and deep, as if he could see through everything about her. He even changed his posture, staring at her every subtle movement more directly and casually.
Lily 's heart was beating wildly, and her face was hot and burning, as if all the blood in her body had rushed to her head. She rubbed her hands nervously, not knowing what to do.
Leo gently placed the cup on the coffee table, making a dull sound. His emotions were hard to tell, making Lily even more nervous. She clenched her hands on the belt twice, holding the buckle tightly, and she didn't dare to let go for a long time.
However, in the next second, she suddenly had the idea of backing out: "I regret it, I'm sorry, I'm leaving now."
She hurriedly turned around and ran to the door, tremblingly pulling the door handle, only to find that the door was locked. Lily 's heart instantly rose to her throat, fear and anxiety intertwined.
Just then, Leo walked over slowly. He was tall and straight, and he pushed her against the back of the door effortlessly. He kept approaching her, with his handsome face less than a centimeter away from her, and the strong sense of oppression made it almost impossible for her to breathe.
"Want to regret? It's too late." His deep and powerful voice sounded in her ears, as irresistible as a verdict.
