Despite not uttering a word, she felt an urge to turn tail and run.
When Amelia Cobb spotted Christopher Robinson from the newsstand by the gate, she slowly rose from her seat. With a seductive smile playing on her lips, she turned her gaze to the man before her.
He is not coming?
Well, she would go to him then! It wasn't a big deal.
On the capital's streets at night, the hot pavement was devoid of any pedestrians, leaving behind only the chirping of insects and the cawing of birds.
Amelia advanced one step, Christopher retreated one step.
She quickened her pace, he matched hers.
Seeing Christopher retreat, Amelia picked up her pace to catch up with him. As for Christopher?
Luckily, the car wasn't far away. He opened the back door and got in straight away.
Amelia hurried over, barely managing to catch the door before it closed. Towering over Christopher, she asked, "Why are you running?"
"Come in and talk. It's hot outside."
Christopher numbingly spoke.
Hot?
