This feeling was terrible.
Aidan Lucas put his cell phone aside, forcing himself to calm down.
This woman named Alice was too strange; she always managed to stir up his emotions out of nowhere.
It was precisely because he knew this, knew she was odd to him, that he had deliberately kept his distance from her.
Because, ever since he first laid eyes on her, something instinctual within him seemed to react.
As soon as he saw her, he wanted to be good to her.
He wanted to spoil her, to make her laugh...
Such feelings were not only foreign to him but also dangerous.
He always hated situations he couldn't control, which was why he gave her the role she wanted but kept her far away.
Just as he was thinking, his cell phone buzzed again.
Aidan Lucas pretended not to hear it, telling himself to ignore it.
His brows furrowed as he continued to go through the documents in his hand.
But just half a minute later, the neglected cell phone found its way back into his palm.
