Chapter 562
I was experiencing a total disconnect from reality, there's no other explanation for it., Otherwise, my gut reaction would have been to scream or bolt for the door., But I didn't. Instead, I just squatted there, dumbly asking who he was.,
"Little lady, why so blue? Heartbroken?
" The man had the quintessential Western look-deep-set eyes, a high nose, and distinctly chiseled features, yet he spoke perfect English with a hint of an exotic accent. He nailed it. Somehow, he could see right through to the reason for my sorrow.,
"Who are you?
" I asked, sounding dumber than I felt., But as soon as the words left my mouth, my brief lapse in consciousness was jolted back to reality, and I immediately thought of the boss of Club Q., But I wasn't sure it was him. In my mind, the boss was a rugged, burly man, something akin to a Lord type., Yet, the man standing before me was the epitome of refined elegance, with a mature charm about him., Had I encountered him on the street, I might have mistaken him for a male model or something of the sort., Suddenly, I remembered Conrad mentioning the Club Q boss had an injury, so I scrutinized the man more closely., However, I saw nothing out of the ordinary, just that the more I looked at him, the more strikingly handsome he appeared.,
"My name is Henrik Taylor,
" he said with a slight lean forward, and I realized just how close he was to me., I instinctively recoiled, but his hand reached out, seemingly wanting to touch my face, yet I turned my head away., Still, his hand landed on my head, patting it as one might a small animal,
"You can call me Henrik, or Skye if you prefer.
", I dodged his touch again, curling up like a cornered animal,
"What do you want?
", I didn't scream. Even if I did, by the time Conrad could rush in, I'd likely already be in this man's grasp.,
"What do you think?
" he asked with a smile., There was something about his always-smiling demeanor that maybe made me feel a little less frightened. And I retorted with a child-like response,
"I know you're here to take me.
",
"Ha ha...
" Henrik laughed heartily, seemingly unconcerned about being overheard.,
"Little lady, how old are you? You're so adorable.
" Henrik wiped away the tears of laughter from his eyes. Adorable? Me?, I hadn't realized it myself. It seemed I was indeed terrified, right back to my naive essence.,
"Before I came here, I wondered what I'd do if caught someone ugly and boring. Now, seeing how cute and fun you are, there's no need to worry you're far more interesting to keep around,
" Henrik said, extending his hand to me again,
"Come, get up.
" , He intended to pull me up and take me away., But I wasn't scared stiff. Why would I just comply?,
"This hotel has protection for me, even outside,
" I reminded him.,
"I know,
" Henrik wasn't the least bit deterred.,
"So, you can't take me away,
" I said, already thinking of how to alert Conrad outside., Even if it might not help, at least he'd know I was taken and could start looking for me sooner.,
"Little lady how about we try?
" As soon as Henrik finished speaking, he, had grabbed my hand and ho, me up with such speed that, chance to dodge. , no, So, my earlier attempts to retreat and shrink away were just him playing along with a game of cat and mouse.,
"Felicia, are you alright?
" Conrad, finally sensed something was, and knocked on the door, callicist, She. , out, Search the website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
