Begging For A Reconciliation

The gown she wore was sleeveless, and she involuntarily shuddered when she felt the slight coolness of Shawn’s palm on her shoulder.

The hand was like a boa constrictor clinging onto her. She reacted that way out of sheer disgust instead of coldness.

Someone once told her she should stay away from people she disliked at first sight.

“What’s your problem?” Leah frowned imperceptibly and pushed Shawn’s hand away.

“I apologize if I have offended you,” Shawn pulled his hand back and said apologetically, though his gaze changed slightly behind his glasses.

As he looked at the palpable disgust on Leah’s face, he took a few steps forward and reached out to pinch her long black hair.

Instinctively, Leah wanted to step away from him. However, the words that came out of his mouth made her freeze in her tracks!

“Yesterday, around midnight… you came out of Han Howard’s house, right?”

Leah’s eyes opened wide. She glared wordlessly at Shawn as her lips turned pale.

He saw it!

Shawn smiled gently as though he were only talking about something trivial like the weather. “If Han knew about it, or if the Lamere family caught wind about this, do you think your family can help you?”

Leah trembled slightly while Shawn twirled her long hair around his fingers like a venomous snake. He was dangerously close, and his penetrating gaze stung her.

“What… do you want?” she said hoarsely.

Shawn smiled and let go of her hair. A hint of disgust flashed in his eyes. “Don’t worry. I know you know I’m interested in you, but I won’t resort to such means to get you to fall for me.”

Leah’s face turned paler when she heard that.

She did not think Shawn would let her go just like that. That man was more dangerous than she first imagined.

“Why are you looking at me with those eyes? Don’t you trust me?” Shawn said as he adjusted his glasses. “To show you I’m not lying, here’s a word of advice: You should think twice about attending the party later tonight.”
