Chapter 70: Deal Breaker

Sera never hated confrontation. But for some reason, the current scene in front of her gave her a bit of pressure. She looked at Chris who had been staring at her, without saying anything.

Was this the pressure that Edward felt earlier when she did this very same thing? A part of her actually wondered what he was thinking. Clearly, he looked upset. But… what's with this silence?

"I'm going to… sleep," she blurted out before she stood and turned her back towards him. She was about to walk out of his office when she felt his hand on her wrist. And to be honest, she immediately expected him to start shouting.

His gaze was enough to tell her that he might start shouting anytime. It was like he had been trying to control himself. Maybe stop himself from breaking all the things inside his office.

And yes, that sounded toxic. 

And yes, that would be the greatest deal-breaker for her.
