The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 726

She sighed, the mirror reflecting that she hadn't put on heavy makeup today. She hesitated, should she wash her face or go get some makeup?

The silence in the bathroom made her uneasy. Making decisions was never her forte. After a while, she decided to go get some makeup. The burning sensation on her face and the confusion in her head made her desperately need some cold water to wake up.

But, just as she stepped out of the bathroom, she saw a tall and slim figure on the wall in the corridor between the men's and women's bathrooms. Under the bright light, she could see the figure, the face, clearer than ever. Even leaning against the wall, his back was still straight, one hand in his suit trouser pocket, the other elegantly holding a cigarette. His head was slightly lowered, taking a puff, the smoke adding to his unique charm.

He looked like a respectable wolf in sheep's clothing. A well-dressed scoundrel. He looked at her, his deep eyes seemingly impenetrable despite the bright lights.

Cicely pulled a corner of her mouth, stepped back, and went back into the bathroom. She turned on the tap, looking at the bathroom door through the mirror. Seeing the man hadn't followed her in, she laughed sarcastically.

Cicely, what were you thinking?

She turned off the tap and plunged her face into the sink filled with water, staying motionless. The icy water instantly cleared her hazy mind. So clear that she started to doubt whether the face she just saw was a hallucination.

Oh, it probably was. Her alcohol tolerance was low, so hallucinating when drunk was normal. She relaxed a bit, her mind completely calm.

Ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds, forty seconds... a minute...

Suddenly, someone yanked her back by her collar, causing water to splash in front of the mirror. She was pulled back forcefully, her back hitting the wall hard, causing pain in her back and chest.

"Are you trying to kill yourself?" A cold voice rang out overhead, a familiar yet strange scent of smoke in the air.
