Chapter 114: Chapter 114 Helped me a lot
Stephan sat down leisurely, positioning himself diagonally across from Alana. This spot allowed him to openly observe her without her noticing.
Even if Alana looked up, she wouldn’t see him. Because a screen stood right in front of him.
The screen was placed just right, perfect for spying and gathering intelligence. He had to make sure her conversation with her best friend wouldn’t lead to Alana dumping him, completely.
Just then, a waiter approached. “Sir, what kind of coffee would you like?”
Stephan tilted his chin slightly and pointed toward Alana’s seat.
“The same as hers, sugar and milk.”
The waiter cast a curious glance in Alana’s direction, wondering about their relationship, but, prioritizing professionalism, he didn’t ask. He simply nodded. “Alright, please wait a moment.”
Stephan continued to stare in Alana’s direction.
He watched as the girl stirred her coffee with a spoon, then sipped it slowly. She was drinking coffee with sugar and milk.
This was actually the third time he’d noticed this, back at that restaurant.
That restaurant served coffee.
He remembered that she’d asked the waiter for a cup of coffee with sugar and milk back then. He’d heard it from upstairs and quietly committed it to memory.
It turned out that, unconsciously, he had already begun to notice her every move and her preferences. After finishing her coffee, the girl murmured something under her breath.
Her voice was always soft and light, as sweet and smooth as glutinous rice dumplings.
From a distance, he couldn’t really make out what she was saying. He could only see her full, rosy lips moving.
Watching her stirred a different kind of desire in Stephan, he wanted to kiss her.
**********
Alana had no idea Stephan had come in to spy on her. She was in the middle of confessing to Eve how she’d met Stephan and how they’d become entangled afterward.
After hearing this, Eve’s face fell.
“You... you actually got entangled with him that night and he hasn’t let you go ever since?!”
“If I’d known you would get involved with such scoundrel, I wouldn’t have forced you to that party. Oh my God, so I’m the one who pushed you into the lion’s den, I’m to blame!”
Eve felt like slapping herself.
But before she could make a move, Alana grabbed her hand to stop her.
“It’s not your fault. I also needed that party to clear my mind. Besides, it’s my fault for drinking too much and having a one-night-stand. And, according to him, I was the one who made the first move...”
Eve frowned.
Alana, with her innocent, soft, and easily bullied little white rabbit image, was she actually this fierce in private?
Seeing Eve’s look of disbelief, Alana’s cheeks flushed slightly. “Th-though he said I was the one who made the first move, I’ve already forgotten most of it...”
In other words, she wasn’t even sure who had taken the initiative that night.
All she knew was that by the time she came to, they were already in the act.
She had no idea how many times it had happened but it was a lot.
Eve said with certainty, “It definitely wasn’t you who made the first move! How could you possibly do something like that, actively seduce someone? That man must have lost control first, pounced on you, and since you were drunk and out of it, he just claimed you were the one who initiated it! ”
Hmm!
Her best friend was a good person; that man was the bad one!
Alana sighed, “But I really did consent to it. I think so.”
Eve gritted her teeth, “So, just because you consented to it and he claimed you seduced him first, that suddenly means you should take responsibility for him? And you agreed to do it a second time with him?!”
Alana swallowed.
She hadn’t meant to at the time, but she was so nervous, it just happened without her realizing it.
Thinking about it now, it felt like she walked right into a trap. She agreed to such a ridiculous thing for no reason at all.
“It’s done now. There’s nothing I can do.Anyway, what was meant to happen, and what wasn’t has already happened. It’s no use regretting it now.”
Eve narrowed her eyes. “So, how many times have you done it with him?”
Alana blinked.
Seeing how her friend couldn’t answer, Eve gasped. “Did he get addicted to you? Or did you get addicted to him?”
Alana’s ears were burning, flushing a faint cherry blossom pink.
“Stop asking, it’s so embarrassing.”
Seeing her bashful reaction, Eve couldn’t help but grit her teeth.
It’s obvious they had done it plenty of times!
But she knew her best friend’s innocent and conservative nature, it definitely wasn’t her friend who initiated it. It was that man who forced himself on her!
What a scumbag!
Taking advantage of her friend’s gentle nature because she wouldn’t fight back, was that it?!
Poor thing, had that man already worn her down?
This was too dangerous!
Eve grew increasingly anxious and couldn’t help but ask, “Lana, so what are you planning to do? Do you really want to keep getting involved with him?”
Be careful, he might be trying to use and dump you!
Alana blushed and said, “He... wants to be my boyfriend. I’m thinking about whether or not to say yes.”
Eve screamed internally: ‘Don’t agree so quickly! Do you know what kind of monster he might be? Just agreeing that easily?!Looks like my bestie is still way too naive!’
Eve felt she really was naive, after all, she didn’t have much experiences.
Eve gritted her teeth and said earnestly, “Lana, listen to me, don’t agree! At least don’t agree so easily! How do you know he’s sincere with you, and not just lusting after your body, wanting to have wild sex with you!”
Alana was shocked.
Eve’s language was way too crude.
It made her feel so embarrassed.
Eve continued sternly, “Be careful. Once he gets tired of your body, you’ll be in big trouble! You’ll pour your heart into him, only to be abandoned in the end, left with nothing!”
Alana bit her lip.
She had had similar concerns at first.
After all, she’d always been very cautious and wary when it came to romantic matters, never letting herself get swept up easily again.
But...Stephan was just too hard to resist.
He’d made her develop a tiny, naughty little crush on him.
She kept telling herself that it was “tiny” but deep down, she knew it wasn’t tiny at all.
To be honest, she didn’t really want to break her rule of never dating again or getting married.
But, of all people, here was someone trying to shatter that very rule.
Alana hesitated for a moment, then couldn’t help but whisper, “Actually, he’s helped me a lot. Whenever I’ve gotten into trouble, he’s always been the one to help me.”
“Once, a coworker drugged me, and almost took advantage of me. He showed up just in time to save me, and in the end, he even helped get that evil man fired from the company. He’s helped me so many times. I feel like... he can’t be... all that bad, right?”
