Arabelle ran as if her life depended on it. Immediately she got the main door, she opened it and then slammed it close after getting in. Her knees weakened and she slid down the door breathlessly.
Her pants came out softly as she hugged her knees to her chest, her face buried in her laps. What just happened? Why did she have to make a deal with this man? She just hoped she wouldn't regret it in the near future. She could visualize the complications and problems that would arise for her if she got too close to him.
She raised her head up slowly. She almost flinched when she saw a pair of long legs in front of her. She quickly stood up, dusting her clothes unhurriedly and her eyes met with Asher's.
He was staring down at her, his gaze calm but somehow, it looked as if there was a storm brewing in there. Arabelle quickly looked away from him.
