Chapter 22

ELENA'S POV " Get out of the car, Elena!" He ordered, and I gulped down saliva. " No!" I replied, folding my hands akimbo and refusing to budge." I had told you to drop me a few distance away, but you refused, now you Want me to come out of your car and make me the topic of the week!" I continued, frowning my face angrily.He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, " What am I to do with you, Elena!" He mumbled, and I hissed." You could sell me to the next man willing to take my hand in a contract marriage since that is what your dad is good at!" I mocked, and I could see him gritting his teeth angrily. ' Good!' I thought to myself with a smirk." Drive the car to the underground car park," he ordered through gritted teeth, and I giggled, sitting back properly.

I asked, still focusing on my work." Elena!" The voice called, and I froze in shock."Lucas!" I muttered, raising my head to stare at the owner of the voice. I sucked in a sharp breath on seeing his handsome face once again. ' There he was in all his glory with his kissable lips,' I thought, biting my lips."
