Love the Second Time Around Novel

Chapter 127 Are You Jealous

I was skeptical, but since the front desk had made a call, I decided to go and check it out. After informing Shannon, I then left the room.

While waiting for the elevator, I recalled Dominic’s incensed expression when he left. All at once, my heart clenched.

Perhaps I should go back to my parents’ house and stay for a day or two until he calms down…

Just while I was contemplating that, a ding heralded the arrival of the elevator.

But when the elevator doors slowly opened, my calf started cramping as Dominic’s smiling face came into view. I stood there dumbfounded, unable to move for a long time.

Crap! Why the h*ll am I so unlucky? I was just ruminating about avoiding him, yet I’ve bumped into him in the next second! Ugh! Why on earth is he not keeping Camille company at this hour but wandering around instead?

“Haha, what a coincidence! Where are you going?” As Dominic said that, he even helped to hold the elevator for me.

Snapping back to my sense, I blurted, “Oh, I’m not going anywhere. I just walked past, so please excuse me.”

“Liliana.”

Right after I turned around, I heard Dominic enunciating my name in an ominous voice.

Hearing that, I froze at once. My legs started disobeying me, and I couldn’t even take a single step forward despite my brain urging me to flee quickly.

Frustrated, I inwardly cursed myself out for being so such a coward.

“Are you waiting for me to go over and escort you?”

When I heard that, I forced myself to turn back around. My footsteps were so heavy that it was a miracle I didn’t dent the ground with every single step.
