"Have a goodnight, Miss Zhou." Matthew resumed in his steps, slowly closing the door behind him. He kept his cool as he walked through the empty office, and then exited.
His steps never faltered, stepping one after another at the same pace. He didn't even notice how he took the stairs, going through the lobby, and now standing outside the entrance. He took a deep breath, closing his eyes at the same time and then exhaled.
Slowly, he opened his eyes and looked up at the night sky full of stars. "How pretty and dark…" He whispered, breathing heavily as his heart beat faster than usual. He might've acted cool in front of Zoey, but deep down, his heart was racing when he kissed the back of her hand.
It sent a strange electricity running throughout his nerves. No, actually, he already had these foreign emotions since the first time he laid his eyes on her. The more he interacted with her, the more those alien feelings intensified.
