One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 493

Chapter 493 He’s Asking for Directions

Goldsmith Street spanned across the busiest part of Melrose City’s commercial area, and a new face had silently joined the waves of workers heading to work.

It was Angie. She was striding toward Citron Apparel in a light brown suit, white chiffon blouse, and a pair of nude-colored heels. The sleeves of her blouse were lifted up slightly, revealing her fair arms, making her look exceptionally slender and professional.

As she traversed Goldsmith Street, many young men would sneak a peek at her, and their eyes would light up with flirtatious gleams.

Right then, this version of Angie was exuding a similar aura as Courtney—calm and collected—looking like a queen bee.

Meanwhile, an exceptionally jarring sight occurred amidst the unceasing traffic—a white sedan was crawling by the side of the road. When the driver pulled over next to Angie, he poked his head out.

 

“Get in. I’ll give you a lift.”

However, Angie didn’t even spare him a glance. She picked up her pace, leaving the car behind in two shakes. Alas, Elijah could only restart the engine and chase after her. Following a few cycles of cat and mouse, Elijah’s face turned grimmer with every rejection. In the end, he resorted to getting out of the car and blocking Angie’s path.

 

“Let’s talk,” he said as he stood slightly astride. Just as Angie was going to ignore him once more, he grabbed her by the arm, sending warmth from his typically warm palm to her slightly chilly arm. Meanwhile, Angie looked at his slender hand reflexively and tried to break free from it.

“Fine, talk.”

With that, she gazed at him calmly, and it was only then Elijah noticed she had chopped her waist-long hair into a bob, giving her a mature and professional look.

“Let’s talk somewhere else.”
