Chapter 280: Boyfriend

As soon as she stepped into her house and shut the door, she leaned against the door and shut her eyes.

The stranger is living next door.

Her mind was more muddled than elated as she began to recall every encounter she'd had with him. Each of them had unlocked something she thought had gone numb.

Her heart rate increased each time their gazes locked and there was nothing she could do to stop it.

The meeting at the office was different. There was something else other than frustration. Desire, raw, potent desire that somehow made its way to her depths, and made her heart bloom like a night lily. It was too much emotion all at once. And it confused her which one she should allow to dominate.

Desire was not one to let out, because she had a boyfriend. That sudden reminder made her open her eyes swiftly. Her boyfriend, Cole, was standing, and staring at her – as she daydreamed about her new neighbor.
