Chapter 2853 Keanu stood up as well.
Then 111- Lets see them off, Corrine interrupted, winking playfully at him.
After all, she had just insisted they needed salone time, so it wouldnt make sense for him to leave immediately.
Keanu caught on quickly, swallowing the words III take my leave too and instead replacing them with a simple, Sure.
Corrine and Keanu walked the others to the elevator, exchanging polite farewells.
As the elevator doors slid shut, Keanu chuckled.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCorrine, you askedto pretend to be your boyfriend out of the blue. Good thing Im decent at improvising.
Did I do okay back there? Corrine nodded.
Not bad.
Your acting was convincing enough.
If I hadnt been part of the act, I mightve believed it myself.
Keanu smiled.
Glad I could help.
Well, I should get going now.
Wait a moment.
Is there something else? Without warning, Corrine stepped closer, pushing him gently against the pristine white wall of the corridor.
Keanu, she began, her voice teasing, you said I was your childhood idol, right? She tilted her head slightly, her face close to his, the faint scent of her perflingering in the air.
Keanu froze at her unexpected proximity, his mind racing.
He instinctively nodded.
Yes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDo you want to marry your idol? Corrine asked, a playful smile dancing on her Lips.
What?! Marrying his idol? Did he hear her correctly? Was she joking with him? Keanus heart skipped a beat as he gazed at her captivating expression. He swallowed hard and stammered, Um, no! Corrines eyes narrowed slightly as her delicate fingers trailed over his chest.
Why not? Do you think Im too old for you? Keanus muscles tensed instantly.
He swallowed again, his voice tight.
No, its not that! Then is it because you think Im sharp-tongued, bad-tempered, or that gant cədk? e she teased, moving even closer, her warm breath brushing against his skin, her eyes filled with an enticing spark. Keanu felt goosebumps rise along his arms.
Pressed against the wall, he could barely move, his hands pinced m e awkwardly at his sides.
Its... its not that I dont Like you, he stammered, barely able to form the words. Its just that... Im not worthy of you! mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
