"No," Aveline replied firmly.

She quickly reached out and pressed the elevator's close button. The doors slowly shut, blocking out Lucas' sharp, handsome face. She let out a barely noticeable sigh of relief.

She had to admit that this new tactic of Lucas caught her off guard. She was worried she might end up agreeing to his requests if she wasn't careful.

Stay calm. She had to stay calm.

When Aveline got home, she found Selena lounging on the sofa in the living room, watching TV. Hearing the door, Selena turned her head, and then jumped up, rushing over with excitement. "My beautiful Ave! I missed you so much!"

Selena's enthusiasm was overwhelming for most people.

Aveline stumbled back a few steps, a bit helpless. "I wasn't even gone for that long."

Aveline felt the goosebumps rise on her skin once more and quickly said, "I've got a cold and don't feel too great. Don't hug me so tight-I can't breathe."

Selena immediately let go, grabbing her hands and looking her up and down. "What happened? How did you catch a cold? Did you get chilled? Wait here I'll make you some ginger tea." And with that, Selena sped off to the kitchen like a whirlwind.
