Leanna By Miu 37 Chapter 32: Vase

Still being hypnotized, I didn't get the last sentence he said as I quickly grabbed the stem of the rose before he could say anything else that could rattle my already muddled mind.

"T-thank you..." I avoided his gaze and looked at the rose instead.

"My pleasure..."

"...."

"...."

The silence became awkward.

Now, what?!! What should I do?!! I should first find a vase for this flower, right? But should I just leave him there standing at the door? That would be rude, right?

"Uhmm... Do you want to come inside?"

Cain nodded.

I turned around, hurriedly to find a vase to put the rose so we could leave.

Cain entered, and his gaze followed the pretty girl around.

"Sit anywhere you like. Do you want something to drink? I only have water at the moment." I wanted to hit myself.

Why offer if you don't have anything to offer?! Idiot!

Cain remained standing and continued to follow the uneasy girl with a heated gaze.

I was busying to find a d.a.m.n vase and wracked my brains out trying to guess where I had put that freakin' gla.s.s jar.

Dammit!! I don't have a vase!

I quickly let out a long gla.s.s bottle, poured water in it, and put the rose inside.

Relieve, I turned around to face the man and was stunned to actually found him just inches away from me. His smell enticingly a.s.saulted my nose that I almost wondered off to dreamland.

How did he just magically appear in front of me?!

I raised my head to look at him and immediately regretted it.

His handsome face was just inches from mine, and I could already feel his warm fresh breath fanning my face.

Alarmed, I ran for the door and was about to turn the handle when a large hand nestled on top of mine. I froze, I felt his warmth on my back as his arm gently circled my waist, his warm breath tickling my ear.

I sensed my blood rus.h.i.+ng, my face heating, and that dizziness from the surging of my body's temperature.

"You look beautiful." Cain softly whispered, making me s.h.i.+ver. It was ticklish, but at the same time hot.

Before I could even react, Cain released me and opened the door.

"After you," he said with an unreadable face.

Afraid of what he might do next, I immediately stormed out of my unit and ran-walked towards the elevator lobby with Cain leisurely walking beside me.

Inside the elevator, it was pure silence that even a drop of a needle could be heard. My face, still burning as my breathing sharp and shallow. I tried to compose myself.

What are you fl.u.s.tering about?! Don't you see that he's only nice to you because he wants something from you?!

Thinking along those lines, I regained my bearing, and when the elevator stopped in the bas.e.m.e.nt, I walked towards my car. However, a hand suddenly grabbed mine and I was forced to turn around.

"We'll take my car," Cain said with a tone that couldn't be refused.

Before I could even say anything, I was pulled in front of a white Bugatti Veyron sports car.
