Chapter 181: The meeting is paused

"Miss Alice, are you okay?"

Ryan was holding Alice's small hand tightly, sensing that she was in a terrible state.

Like a balloon being overinflated, Alice was on the verge of bursting.

She sat in her chair, motionless like a doll, only moving when Ryan was about to lead her away.

Her pale wrist flipped over to grasp Ryan's hand, her fingertips digging into his skin. Her gaze flickered unsettlingly.

"Pause."

Just as things were about to spiral out of control, reason prevailed. Alice exhaled a heavy breath, suppressing the chaos in her mind and raised her hand.

Ryan must have misunderstood,she was not that kind of person.

She had to stop, had to make Ryan understand her.

Thinking of Ryan's unfamiliar look just now, Alice felt her heart bleeding. She had never felt like this before,what was happening to her?

It hurt so much, really hurt.
