Chapter 36: Untamed Desires

A faint, elegant smile constantly graced his face.

Alex Carter.

The Carter Group, therefore, owned this mall.

As if sensing someone's gaze, Alex looked up in her direction. Panicked, Lily quickly turned around, dropping the book and hurriedly running away.

"Miss, you forgot your book," Alex politely called after her.

Lily's mind went blank. She didn't know where to run; she hid behind another bookshelf, her heart pounding harder than ever.

Footsteps approached, steady and calm.

There was silence from the other side of the bookshelf for a long time.

Lily overheard a puzzled voice say, "Mr. Carter, is something wrong with this book? Why are you staring at it?"

Alex's gentle voice reached her ears. "No, it just reminded me of an old friend."

Friend…

Lily covered her mouth, her eyes suddenly wet. He still remembered her, didn't he?

He hadn't forgotten her… had he?
