Chapter 143. Cinder’s New Boy
It was dark by the time our plane landed at the Bern airport in Switzerland.
A cool wind whipped across the runway as we left the plane, chilling me to the bone, and I shivered.
“Let’s just book a flight back now.” When he saw me shiver, Aaron opened his arms and pulled me into his warm embrace. “This isn’t a good day for skiing anyway.”
“I think it’s a perfect day for skiing!” I didn’t want to tell Aaron that I had only insisted on leaving the beach because I was annoyed with Emily.
That was when my phone started to blow up with calls from Cinder.
Last night I told Cinder about my decision to come to Switzerland for a vacation, and she told me enthusiastically that she would bring her brand-new boyfriend to pick me up.
I was curious about Cinder’s latest boy toy, so I eagerly agreed to her invitation.
The moment I pressed “answer,” I heard Cinder’s voice over the phone. “I see you, honey, I’m right here! Left, left, left, look to your left!”
I turned my head and saw Cinder’s unmistakable figure, jumping up and down like a little monkey with her phone still pressed to her ear.
Just beside her was a tall man in a long black trench coat. It was dark outside, and they were standing far away, so I couldn’t see exactly what he looked like.
Cinder sprinted toward me excitedly, grabbing me in a big hug. “Olive! I haven’t seen you in so long, oh my g*d!”
Huh? Had it really been that long?
After Cinder finally let go of me, she said hello to Aaron and then grabbed my hand and tugged me over to her boyfriend to introduce us.
“Hi, I’m Olive Woods,” I said, holding out my hand.
“Nice to meet you.” He reached out and shook my hand with a firm grasp. “My name is Eliott Dubois.”
This whole time, I’d been curious to get a look at the new guy who had Cinder singing his praises every time we talked. Now I could see with my own eyes how handsome he was. He had dark eyebrows and big, soft eyes, and a relaxed, easy-going demeanor.
Cinder opened the back door of her nearby car and threw Aaron a casual wink. “Aaron, you don’t mind if I borrow Olive for an hour, right?”
I thought Aaron probably would mind.
Sure enough, Aaron didn’t even pretend to go along with Cinder’s request. He walked straight over to me, pushed me into the back seat, and immediately climbed in after me. “Close the door for me, please.”
I put my hands over my eyes, thinking Cinder would probably be p*ssed at Aaron.
Cinder froze, and her smile disappeared instantly. She stared at Aaron for a long time before slamming the door shut
behind him with a bang.
But instead of getting into the passenger seat, she pulled open the door on the other side of me and squeezed in next to me, while Eliott got into the driver’s seat.
Now I was packed in between them like a sardine, completely unable to move, with both my arms pressed against my sides.
Cinder whispered in my ear, “He’s so bossy!”
I snorted, thinking, you haven’t seen him when he’s really bossy.
Cinder seemed to read my thoughts from my expression, and she suddenly reached out and laid a hand over my chest. “Has he been keeping you busy for the past few days? I noticed you haven’t been picking up any of my calls.”
Aaron glanced over at Cinder, and she immediately retracted,
her hand.
Aaron grabbed my hand, the one Cinder’s boyfriend had just shaken, and rubbed it between his own hands vigorously, like he was trying to scrub away any trace of the other man.
I ignored Aaron; I was more interested to hear about Cinder’s new boyfriend.
“So, Cinder tells me you got your PhD at Columbia University, and now you’re researching cancer bioinformatics?” After chatting for a while, Eliott brought the topic to my school. Cinder must have told him a lot about me, for him to know exactly what field of study I was in.
When I nodded, Cinder butted into the conversation eagerly.
“Eliott is a medical student at Harvard! I bet you guys have a lot in common.”
This was a bit of a surprise. I looked over at the striking side profile of Cinder’s boy toy of the week. With his high, straight nose and thick eyebrows, he looked like he should be on the cover of a magazine. “I thought he was a model,” I said honestly.
