Chapter 37
While Amelia was hesitating, the call was hung up.
Immediately, her phone rang again.
It wouldn’t stop at all, which drove her crazy.
Sharon patted her thigh. “Pick it up. What if Sierra said is true? What if Vince is approaching you to be his lover?
You have to turn him down as soon as possible and let him know you aren’t that kind of woman. Otherwise, he’ll get the wrong idea, and your life will be affected”
Amelia figured her words made sense, so she picked up.
Vince on the other end of the line asked, “Why did you leave early today without saying anything? You didn’t even cat”
“Yeah… I have something to do,” Amelia stuttered. Suddenly, she found it hard to say those words out loud to turn him down. What if it was all in her head? Saying too much would leave her embarrassed.
Where are you now?” he asked.
Is there anything you want! If not, I’m hanging up, she replied sternly..
Her tone was so cold that it stunned Vince. He found himself not knowing how to respond and could only and some other topic randomly. “Well… Your dress is dry–cleaned. When are you free? I’d like to see you.”
“I’ll be busy for a while; sometime later, perhaps,” she said and hung up the phone decisively,
At the same time, she was overwhelmed by a huge sense of loss; the feeling was quite indescribable.
She couldn’t help but ask herself whether she had feelings for Vince.
The answer was definitely yes. When she was fooled and picked on, her life hit rock bottom. Then he showed up like a light lighting her up, giving her the courage to get out of her failed marriage
But she figured that her feelings for him were temporary. Since he appeared when she was vulnerable, it meant he’d disappear from her life soon.
She was shocked when Sierra mentioned the engagement and the open relationship
What was more shocking was that her feelings for Vince weren’t gone; instead, they seemed to have grown deeper.
She was sadder than she had imagined.
Seeing how sad Amelia was, Sharon embraced her. “Cheer up; it’s just a man. Big deal. I’ve been busy with work lately, and I didn’t even celebrate your discharge from the hospital. Let’s go and enjoy ourselves.”
They had fun outside until the early hours of the morning
Amelia put everything bothering her behind, she was so excited that she drank two glasses of wine.
With difficulty, she finally managed to reach the sixth floor and was about to open the door when she found Vince standing there.
He frowned and looked at her grimly. “You’ve been drinking again”
She wasn’t drunk at all, but under the alcohol’s influence, she snapped, “Mr. Hollow, I know why you’re approaching me. Thank you for thinking highly of me and considering me as your mistress.
“But I’m sorry: I’m not that kind of woman. I’ll never be kept. Please find someone else!
She looked serious and stern.
Vince was amused, he stared at her, hals eyes dark.
The atmosphere was so serious that he had to stifle his laughter.
He had already seen her confront Thro. She was without merry, and every word she said hit the nail on the head.
To his surprise, he ended up like Theo today.

Chapter 37
He suddenly stepped forward, pinning her against the wall with one hand and wrapping his other arm around her waist from behind her. With forceful pull, he pressed her entire bly against Ivis..
Then he said, “What if I’m only y interested in you, and just want to keep you by my side as my mistress?”
His voice was deep, mellow, and so gentle that it made her mich.
She felt numb all over, She hashi’t expected him to be… so shameless.
She hit her lip and said furiously, “Let go of me!”
With that, she tried to push him away, but her other hand was also grabbed and pressed against the wall.
He leaned closer to her, saying, “Are you really not going to consider it
She responded while blushing, feeling her body burning up. “I don’t need to. I’ll never agree to such a request”
She smelled very nice, like cream, sweet but not greasy, a scent he couldn’t quite place.
He took a few greedy sniffs before smiling in satisfaction, deciding he’d stop teasing her for now.
Turning serious, he asked, “Sierra said something to mess with you, didn’t she? She told you I wanted to keep you as a mistress?”
Amelia was Mill angry
She pursed her lips and didn’t answer.
He continued to guess, redid she say? Did she say she was i
Liny lancéer
Amelia rolled her eyes. “You already know. Why are you asking then?”
Smiling with a sigh, he said, “Fine, 1 admit it. Sierra and I were engaged, but that was a long time ago. We were forced into it by the circumstances. Very few people knew about it,”
She retorted. “Sierra told me you’re getting married next year.
“That’s a lie. She and I are colleagues, and we’ve been friends since childhood, but there’s absolutely nothing romantle between in. I’m definitely not marrying her, he said firmly and resolutely
Suddenly, Amelia wavered.
Meanwhile, his voice traveled thousands of miles through the listening device on his button and reached Sierra’s ears.
taring out the window, Sierra was lost in thought while Vince’s words T’m definitely not marrying her echoed in her mind.
His words were so ruthless, her eyes flickered with a complex mix of emotions.
