"As I thought, your eyes are much more honest than your mouth.

", With that, he turned to leave., Swallowing the dryness in my throat, I followed him., When I first arrived, Henrik had knocked me out and brought me here. Now, leaving, I was riding in his luxury car, soaking in the scenery. Except, the scenery remembered me, but I couldn't clearly recall it., As the car pulled to a stop, I looked over at Henrik, my heart pounding,

"Why are we at a hospital?

",

"To see someone,

" Henrik gathered my nervousness into his gaze.,

"Who?

" My throat tightened., He leaned in closer, those deep eyes of his locking onto mine,

"This nervous...could it be about Collins?

", He guessed right, that was exactly what I was thinking.,

"Weren't you two separated? Hate him? Why still care? Or was your breakup just a charade, a sleight of hand?

" Henrik scrutinized me., My heartbeat raced, but I didn't look away,

"Separation doesn't mean I stop caring.

", He said nothing, just watched me, as if trying to see through to my heart., After a moment, he stepped back, then got out of the car,

"You'll know if it's him once you see.

", But I remained seated,

"If it's him, I'd rather not go.

"Why?

"They're just dazzled by us.

", Soon after his bodyguard approached with a phone. Henrik showed me the screen, and I was startled. Our strides were in sync, our demeanors striking, as if we were models on a runway , Henrik's outfit had stunned me today, but I hadn't realized how well I complemented him, walking side by side.,

"Not bad, double the bonus this month,

" he casually said, and the bodyguard took the phone away.,

"Girl, you've got a look. You could make it in showbiz. So, how about I give you a push?

" Henrik was always full of surprises., I didn't answer, just looked at him.,

"Why are you staring?

" His smile was teasing.,

"Henrik, even if you're using me to, get back at someone, there's no need to treat me this well, let alone pamper me, right?

" I voiced my confusion. , Henrik pondered for a few seconds,

"Maybe it's because I find you pleasing to the eye.

"Let's go,
