You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife

Chapter 176: Cold Hearted

“Lira, you know I like you,” John sounded sincere.

In the club, the two were drinking after they finished the meeting with their clients.

“What?” Lira replied acting like having difficulty of hearing because of the loud music. She heard him but she was so surprised by his sudden confession.

“I said I like you!” John shouted loud while drawing himself to her.

“I’m sorry but the music is too loud. I can’t hear you!” Lira shouted too. She was not ready for John as her heart only belonged to one person.

That person was none other than Damien Lewis.

John drew himself closer. Lira was alarmed but didn’t make it obvious but suddenly John grabbed her and kiss her.

Lira was shocked and her eyes grew wider. She hurriedly pushed him. “John, you are drunk!” She said in a nice way but still in shock by his sudden attack. His kiss made her so uneasy.

“I like you, Lira.” He uttered again.

“John, I’ll go ahead,” Lira replied quickly and strode away without waiting for John’s reply.

When she got out of the club, cold air greeted her. She heaved a sigh of relief without John's presence.

“Lira, Wait!” John suddenly sounded behind her.

Lira was startled. She thought John stayed where she left him but he chased her outside.

“Lira!” John's voice sounded close. She turned around to face him.

“John.” She muttered.

“I’m sorry. I just can’t let you go tonight without you knowing what I really feel about you.” John said seriously. His expression was slightly drunk.

Lira was speechless with his aggressiveness. She didn’t want to hurt him but she didn’t know how to handle him either. Ever since John was good to him and he helped her settle in Capital Z. After that, he was always there for her assisting her in their work.

“Lira, I want you to be my girl,” John said walking closer.

Lira froze. She was rooted in her spot even though she tried to take steps away from him.

“John, I think you drank too much.” She smiled showing her cool but her lips shivered due to her uneasiness.

“No. I’m okay. I just need a bottle to get some courage for this confession.” John replied. His eyes were serious while he stopped a meter away.

“Look, John, I….” Lira wanted to choose her words carefully for him as she didn’t want to hurt him.

John’s expression was waiting for her words. His expression was hanging by the moment.

“John, I don’t know what to say,” Lira said with a problematic expression.

“Do you have a boyfriend?” John asked confused.

“No one,” Lira answered immediately.

“Then why do I feel you became aloof to me?” John’s expression was puzzled.

“I’m sorry. I just don’t want you to get hurt.” Lira answered quickly and sincerely.

“You are already hurting me now. Don’t you like me?” John strode closer.

“John… I like you but only as a friend.” Lira answered not wanting to give him any expectation.

“Why? You don’t have a boyfriend. Try me, Lira. I can be your lover too.” John sounded very eager.

“John. I can’t.” Lira quickly refuted.

“Why? We are good partners in work. We can be the best partner in life.” John held Lira’s arms.

“John, I can’t. I have already someone in my heart.” Lira had no choice but to spill it to John.
