Chapter 9: Chapter 9 : Mixed Drinks and Mixed Feelings

I suddenly realized that it was a bad decision to come here tonight.

I watched him continue to lean in, and my heart raced. For a moment, I panicked and didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t be unfaithful to Carl!

I tried to shove him away by his chest, but he was too strong for me.

However, he didn’t kiss me. His lips were next to my ears, and his breaths were warm. “Now, you may ask your question,” he said in his deep, low voice.

I felt as if electricity ran down my spine. I was stunned for a moment.

Ellis chuckled in my ear, stopped and pulled away from me with a playful expression, “Or did you just want to have another dance?”

“No, of course not.” I shook my head, “Let’s… let’s talk about Carl.”

“Alright then, please take a seat,” Ellis led me to the couch and poured himself a drink.

“Why were you so negative about him?”

He sat down next to me and replied, “Carl is... a womanizer. He often has more than one girlfriend at a time.”
