Chapter 254

Evadne vanished into the washroom to rid herself of the stickiness of the day, then traded her skirt for a fresh one. Eager to clear her mind and sober up, she took a stroll around the house.

She felt an uncomfortable twinge in her heart as she remembered Jason kneeling before her, wiping up the spilled wine from her feet in front of a crowd of people.

He had always been incredibly considerate towards her.

But after that profound and Intense embrace, she found herself unable to face Jason and his affections for her.

Her relationship with Jason had been a childhood friendship. They had grown up together.

She saw him as a brother and a subordinate. But did he see her as a childhood sweetheart, as his desired love?

It was too much for her to accept.

With a sigh of frustration, Evadne lifted her gaze, only to find Jason standing stiffly not far away, his face somewhat pale. “Miss Evadne,” he called gently.

“Jason? What brings you here?” Evadne asked, taken aback.

Jason swallowed hard, his throat dry, and slowly approached her. “I was worried. I came to check on you.”

“Jason.”

“It’s been a week. Why won’t you let me return to work, to be with you?” Jason gazed at her deeply, his voice hoarse.

“Because I’m waiting for you to clear your mind.”

Evadne spun lightly on her tiptoes, leaning against the wall and meeting his tender and shattered gaze. “Jason, a week has passed. Have you made your decision?” “Miss Evadne. I have a crush on you.”

Jason’s voice trembled as he confessed his feelings. “You can hate me, despise me, but you can’t stop me from admiring you. I’ve never dared to dream that you would accept me. But Miss Evadne, I don’t think I did anything wrong. Is it wrong to like someone?”

Evadne’s eyes narrowed sharply.

“But, my feelings for you stop at liking. I know that to continue would be presumptuous, would be impolite.” Jason forced a smile as bright as eyer.

“Jason, you didn’t do anything wrong. I just can’t accept your feelings.”
