The Billionaire's Mistake

Chapter 264: Sleeping with him

Hazel nervously came out after him and thanked him in a small voice before starting to walk inside. It did not take long for her to notice that he was following her. She turned around to find him trailing behind her and she paused. "I am fine right here," she told him, hoping he would go back.

"I know, lead the way," he said, "Or do you not want me to come in?" he asked and she hurriedly led him inside. They got onto the elevator and started making their way up, the more the elevator rose, the more her fear peaked. "Don't let your imagination run wild," he said to her nervous form now trying to open the door.

"You insist on coming in, yet you say I should not let my imagination go wild," she muttered. She entered the apartment and he closed the door behind them. He looked around the small space and back at her. There was barely anyplace to stand. There was at most a small couch by the corner and a bed right next to it. It was a studio apartment. She dared not relax.

""It's small," he commented.

"I apologize," she answered under her breath but he still heard her. He went a head and sat on the couch and looked back at her. She stood there and waited for him to speak.

"Go and get ready for bed," he said and she became a block of ice.

"What?" Hazel asked. She could not understand the words that came out of his mouth. If he was anyone else, she would have misunderstood those words in a different direction, but because he was himself, she could not understand what was going on.

"Do you intend to sleep like that?" Marcus asked and she understood what he meant. But did he have to say it that way?

"You are just going to sit here?" she asked.

"Act as though I am not here," he said and she was at a loss for words. He too did not know why he did not want to leave. For some reason, he could not bring himself to leave her side. What was going on?
