His Dangerous Love novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28 See You Tomorrow

Elianna remained silent and quietly acknowledged her regrets.

Although she was mocked, his words gave her a glimmer of hope, suggesting that he might have believed her.

With numerous issues already plaguing her, she wanted nothing more than to avoid any further trouble.

Elianna forced a fake smile. "If there's nothing else, I should take my leave."

"Wait a moment," Jefferson interrupted, swiftly extending his long leg to block her path.

Reluctantly, Elianna paused, her voice dripping with forced patience. "Is there anything else?"

Jefferson admired her guarded expression and smirked, "Tomorrow, wait for my call."

Elianna was stunned.

She believed she had already grasped Jefferson's intentions earlier. Today's encounter was unexpected, so what did he mean by "see you tomorrow"?

Noticing her silence, Jefferson kindly inquired, "Or should I come and pick you up?"

"No!" Elianna replied abruptly.

Her smile looked strained. If she held it any longer, it would shatter into pieces.

"How could I trouble you? I can manage on my own," she replied.

Receiving the expected answer, Jefferson lazily nodded.

...

As soon as she left the lounge, her smile vanished.

Silently cursing, she blamed the person behind that closed door!

However, cursing alone wouldn't resolve anything. Due to his striking social status, all she could do was endure!

Actually, since her family had suffered a devastating blow, she realized that her chances of living a comfortable and content life were slim.

Anyway, thanks to Albert, Elianna had managed to change into a dress in a similar color and length, allowing her to blend into the crowd without drawing attention to herself.

She discreetly hid among the attendees until the banquet ended and left with the others.

Naturally, Asher, irritated by their unpleasant phone conversation, had no desire to see Elianna off.

Finally, Kenley appeared and clung to Asher's arm with an air of smug superiority.

Noticing Elianna's pallor, she became even more delighted.

Mistakenly assuming that Elianna was consumed by jealousy, Kenley reveled in her own imagined victory.

But in fact, Elianna didn't even notice them.
