Chapter 44: Drawing a Line Between Them

"Why are you here?" Daniel asked, "I am not working today. So, whatever it is, keep it till I am ready." His cold eyes pierced through Selene's, attempting to see into her soul.

"I wanted to talk to you about something," she said, glancing at James and Wendy, who had already taken a seat. It was clear that she was hoping to speak with him privately. But Daniel was not someone to give people a face, so he ignored her gesture and nodded to her.

"Go ahead," he urged her, and she looked around.

"I am hoping to speak to you privately," she could not help but say. She would rather die than say why she had come while his mother was there. Not too long ago, she had fallen into the old woman's trap and said she was not dating Daniel. If she opened her mouth this moment to ask him out, she would be slapping herself in the face.

Daniel did not have the energy for her nonsense, but he wanted to get rid of her, so he gestured towards the living room they had just left, and they both moved there.

Now alone with him, Selene became nervous. She looked up to meet his eyes, which held no emotion, and started to lose her confidence.

She knew he was an intelligent man and had never hidden her admiration for him even though he was married. She even changed her face for him. What was she to him? "You are testing my patience, Selene. I might have ignored your antics before, but I have no intention of tolerating you now. See yourself out," Daniel said, and Selene turned and rushed out

I wonder how many times Anya had to hear about you and your insect from those gossip magazines." Daniel, who had just taken a seat, felt as though his mother had ripped open another wound. He placed his hand on his temple and massaged greatly. He did not refute her words. He knew Selene liked him, but he did not stop her. He knew Anya was in
