The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 23 Beating Up the Jerk

Allison glanced at her phone and sighed. Seriously, who could read someone's mind like this?

Was Alexander some kind of psychic? How did he always know what she was thinking?

She shook her head, deciding not to overthink it. After a shower, she slathered on her homemade ointment and crashed into bed. The next morning, as she neared the school, she spotted a guy with a bouquet standing at the entrance, looking pretty ridiculous.

High school classes started early, so seeing a dude with flowers at 6:30 AM made him look like a total nutcase.

To her shock, it was Everett. He rushed over, leaving Allison totally confused.

"Allison, these are for you. Take them!" he said.

"Mr. Stevens, what's this all about?" Allison asked, her tone icy.

"Obviously, it means I like you and want you to be my girlfriend!" Everett was blunt, but Allison's face turned frosty.

"Mr. Stevens, I'm not interested and never will be. Leave now!" she snapped.

"Allison, I know you're mad about what happened with Sophia. What she did had nothing to do with me. I've already dumped her. I promise I won't talk to her again if you say so. Is that okay?" Everett pleaded. Allison laughed, but it was more out of anger.

"Mr. Stevens, I said I'm not interested. Don't you get it?" Her attitude made Everett furious. He had swallowed his pride, yet Allison still wouldn't budge.

"Allison, I'm genuinely into you!" Everett exclaimed.
