Chapter 16

Cowering in the corner, Lucille could feel the cool marble wall plastered against her back, and a tall man's frame blocking her from in front.

The man was just inches away from her face. His deep eyes stared straight into hers, as if he wanted to see through what she was thinking. Lucille did not like this kind of intimate distance, so she pushed him back.

However, Joseph did not give up. He drew in closer again. "Tell me, why are you trying to draw the line? What are you afraid of?"

Lucille tilted her head to avoid his gaze. "I'm not."

"You're not?" Joseph's voice turned deep. It was oozing sexiness and magnetism. "Then why don't you dare to look me in the eye?"

Lucille took a deep breath, organized her thoughts, and raised her head in a hurry. "Who said so?"

As soon as she raised her head, she got drowned into his eyes which were as deep as the Atlantic Ocean.

This was the first time that Lucille had looked at Joseph's face so closely.

Even though they had looked at each other dozens of times, she still felt that this man's eyes were really beautiful.

It was hard to tell what he was, he could've been a prince or a monster.

But she knew that the more charming something was, the more dangerous it would be.

The same concept applied to men.

Lucille held her breath, trying hard to look calm.

But her red tinged ears betrayed her right away.

Joseph lowered his eyes and looked at the girl before him, who was like a frightened white rabbit with its anxious eyes. His thin lips curled up slightly. He liked to see her panic.

This showed that in her heart, he was special.

The man lowered his head and was about to speak when a male voice called out to him in surprise. "Joseph?

Joseph and Lucille froze at the same time.

The next second, Lucille pushed him away and jumped to stand beside him.

Outside the door, a young man with blonde hair walked in and said, "It really is you!"

With that, he looked curiously at Lucille.
