"Wait… Ah!" Annie only meant to avoid a certain someone but in a moment of carelessness, she stepped on the tail of her dress. Her body tilted, and she almost fell.
Chris caught her into his arms in time and saved her from the fall.
Annie rested in his arms and panted.
"Scared me," she said, her beautiful eyes glancing at the door of the banquet hall. Realizing that Ye Sijue didn't follow her, she heaved a breath of relief, her little hand clasped over her chest.
Chris looked at her. "Hey, just who did you see that's making you so scared?"
"I…" Annie looked up and met his eyes. Realizing that their pose was quite suggestive, she quickly pushed him away and steadied herself.
She brushed away the hair near her ear and said hesitantly, "Nothing… Stop asking me."
"Why can't I ask?" Chris frowned, staring at her eyes. He didn't seem so easy to fool.
Annie looked down. "Because I don't want to tell."
