Chapter 838

As soon as she walked through the door, she was seized by a forceful grip on her arm, and then pressed against by a warm, toned body that pushed her back against the corner of the wall.

Their eyes met, and Elsie's heart quivered, captivated by the man's bright, piercing gaze, unable to resist falling deeper under his spell.

Her world was devoid of light. She desperately longed for a ray of light to shine through the crack she had painstakingly chiseled open.

His eyes were the source of light she had been searching for.

"Ms. Archer, did you leave something behind when you left earlier?" Elvis' voice

was wrapped in a low chuckle, his intonation playfully suggestive.

"What?" Elsie's fingers clinging tightly to the wall, she felt as if a thousand butterflies were in her stomach.

Elvis curled his lips up, his straight nose playfully touching hers, tender yet mischievous, like a lover's caress.

Suddenly, his voice turned raspy, "You forgot to take my heart with you."

Elsie, still flustered, burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Tsk, why are you laughing?" Elvis raised an eyebrow.

"Elvis, I think you must not have had a serious girlfriend before? After all, not every girl can tolerate such a cheesy joke," Elsie covered her tender lips, laughing uncontrollably.

His eyes darkened, and he clicked his tongue, "That was a whisper of love!"

"But it's funny, so still a joke."

Before Elsie's voice trailed off, her pupils contracted. Her silver necklace was dangling right in front of her, gently swaying.

"My necklace!" Elsie frantically touched her neck, her face turning pale.

When had it fallen off? She had no clue!

"Give it back!" Elsie reached out to grab it, but Elvis, intent on teasing her, held it

just out of reach, even as she tiptoed.
