Chapter 46

Gavin came with me tonight in regards to the exhibit. Suddenly, I had this need to wash my face.

"I'm going to wash my face in the restroom."

"Okay, go back quickly."

I was lightly rinsed with cold water, and I was immediately awake. I thought I had been revived. When I was about to leave to finish putting the remainder of the show together, a familiar figure came in through the front entrance, and I bumped into him head-on, which was horrible.

He is still just as handsome...

When his eyes fell on mine, my heart ached with longing.

I simply wanted to get away from him and avoid him, but I was apprehended by him on the spot. When he kissed my lips, I felt like I could hardly breathe.

"Please respect me, Mr. Austin."

"Respect? Are you talking to me now?"

"All right, let me go."

"What if I refuse?"

I didn't notice any tenderness in his gaze.
