Up until the last moment, Ellinor was still hoping that guy would spit out the truth.
But then, seeing his cocky attitude, Ellinor felt bored to death. She thought, “Seriously, how boring can this get?”
With a blank face, she looked at Theo, a face that once made her heart race, and said calmly, "Standing here, you're just bothering me. Because I don't want to see you right now!"
Theo's eyes turned colder, asking, "You don't want to see me? Ellinor, do I really piss you off that much?"
"Damn right, you piss me off!" Ellinor smirked sarcastically, her eyes filled with mockery, "Mr. Blanchet, I admit, I kissed you on purpose to dodge a blind date. My bad. But I've paid my dues. I owe you nothing now! And you—do you find it amusing to chase a woman who couldn't care less about you? Well, I'm done playing!"
Theo's brows furrowed, his gaze sharp, and he asked her, "Playing? You think I've been playing with you all this time, is that it?"
Ellinor laughed and said, "Speak up, isn't it true? You seem to enjoy this whole charade! Enough is enough. It's time to call it quits!"
She pushed him away and bolted, not wanting to give him a second glance!
Theo grabbed her again, yanking her back, then let go abruptly, "You're not going anywhere! If you don't want to see me, then I'll leave!"
With those words, he lowered his head and walked out of the room with firm steps.
The door slammed shut. The noise was deafening.
The sudden commotion startled Ellinor, leaving her with nothing but emptiness in her eyes.
The room was warm, but she felt cold.
