Chapter 1238


    Mister Aaron, please stop joking like this!” Annie was annoyed at Aaron for not taking things seriously.

    Aaron stopped smiling and looked deeply into her eyes. “I’m not joking. I’m being serious.”


    Annie could hear her heart thumping very loudly. She did not believe him. In fact, she felt like he was


    ying with her feelings. “Even if you’re serious, it’s toote ’cause I already have a boyfriend.”


    Aaron passed her his phone. “That can be easily taken care of. You just need to call him and break up


    with him.”


    Annie was shocked. She shot up from the bed and growled, “Is this how you see a rtionship? That


    you can break up with someone just like that? You might not respect Marcus, but I do! He’s very good


    to me, so I’m never going to break up with him.”


    “Do you like him, though?” asked Aaron with a smirk.


    Annie’s eyes shed. “Of course I do! I mean, why would I agree to be with him if I don’t?”


    Aaron smiled. “No. You don’t like him.”


    It was like Aaron had seen right through her. She frowned and said, “You don’t speak for me! Who do I


    like, if not my own boyfriend?”


    Aaron stood up and leaned down on her. “You…like…me.”


    Annie’s eyes darted to the window anxiously. “I… I… Fine! It’s true. You’re the guy that I like! But what’s


    the point? You don’t like me at all, so you can’t expect me to keep pining for you, right? What’s so


    wrong with wanting to move on with another guy who treats me well?”


    “No! You can’t do that.” Aaron put both of his hands on the closet, effectively trapping Annie between


    his arms so that she had no choice but to look at him.


    “Why not? Who are you to tell me what to do? I don’t work for you anymore.”


    Aaron leaned down closer to her. “Because I’ve realized that I actually quite like you. Why would you


    be with another man when we can be together?”


    Annie was stunned. She thought she had heard wrong. ‘Did he just say he likes me? Is this…a


    confession? No, Annie! Wake up! He’s a serial flirter, remember? He’ll hump anything that moves!’


    With that thought in mind, Annie looked boldly into his eyes and said, “Mister Aaron, I’m afraid I can’t


    agree to be your girlfriend. There’s no guarantee you won’t cheat on me.”


    Aaron smiled, half-closed his eyes, and whispered into her ear seductively, “You should know you’re


    the first girl I’ve ever confessed my feelings to. Are you sure you’re going to reject me?”


    ‘Ha! Only a fool would believe him!’ She recalled all the different women who came out of his office with


    their clothes and hair all messed up. She would never believe him!


    Annie shook her head to clear her mind. “Mister Aaron, are you saying all this because you can’t stand


    seeing me with someone else? So you want to see if you can get me back to prove you’re still as


    charming as ever? If that’s the case, I suggest you let me go. I’m not the kind of girl who can fall head


    over heels just to be dumped in the end.”


    Aaron knew he himself had done a lot of hurtful things in the past. He buried his head into her shoulder


    and said coquettishly, “I’m being very serious…”


    Annie’s heart started to tremble. ‘What… What is he trying to pull here?’


    Even though she told herself not to give in to him, she still found herself unable to hold herself back.


    ‘Sh*t… I don’t think I can hold on anymore.’


    “Uh… Mister Aaron, I…”


    “Shh… Don’t say anything until you’ve heard what I have to say,” said Aaron raspily. He kept her


    trapped between his arms.


    The reason he buried his head into her shoulder was that he did not dare to face her after doing so


    many hurtful things to her in the past.
