Chapter 160
His serious tone made my anger spike. Why did he have to torturelike this? The last thing | wanted to talk
about was his blind date.
“I think that you should pursue things with her further,” | snapped, telling him what | thought he wanted to hear
so that this conversation could end.
But as soon as the words were out of my mouth, | wished that I could take them back. | didn’t mean them. | was
only lashing out at him in a bizarre, masochistic sort of way.
Alexander's gaze narrowed, and his mouth beca thin line.
The car becdeadly quiet, and the mood around us twisted into something uncomfortable that made me
crave a gulp of fresh air.
“Listen, I-"
I had no idea what | was about to say, but Alexander cutoff by holding up his hand and turning to the
window. The space between us felt like a million miles apart. | wasn’t sure how to bridge the gap. The rest of the
car ride was filled with this awkward mood that | couldn't think of any way to fix.
When we got to the apartment building, we said goodnight to Richard and left the car. In the elevator, | tried to

how it would feel if he bit my carlobe and sucked on the sensitive skin of my neck.
“I would like to give you feedback on your job performance tonight,” he whispered in my ear and trailed his hand
slowly down my arm.
A shiver went up my spine, and | couldn’t help but press myself closer to his hard body. Our breathing hitched as
my bottom pressed against his hard length. Pleasure shot through me, and my hands grasped at his dress pants,
pulling him closer to me.
Before anything else could happen, the elevator chimed, the doors opened, and cool air swept into the small
space, clearing my head so that | could think straight again.
| spun around to see Ava standing there, her mouth open in shock. Immediately, | stepped away from Alexander,
but the damage was already done. Ava had already witnessed our inappropriate position.
| swallowed nervously and grabbed Ava’s hand, dragging her away from Alexander and into my apartment. Once
| was safely inside, | leaned against the door and tried to catch my breath.
“What was that all about?” Ava asked and raised her eyebrows suggestively.

| rolled my eyes as | listened at the door. Had Alexander left?
“You know that Alexander is totally infatuated with you, right?” Ava said in a loud voice.

Ava crossed her arms and looked atwith a skeptical expression.
“If Alexander was interested in me, why would he makego on a blind date with him?” | pointed out.
“Duh, because he wants to make you jealous,” my friend said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
