Love Together, Be With You Never novel Chapter 61

"Oh, here you are." Kieran looked at me with his sharp eyes and said indifferently.

I said yes, but froze with fear all over.

"Come here!" Kieran ordered.

Without delay, I cautiously walked over, but every step I took, I felt a chill coming from the bottom of my feet, ready to devour me.

All the colleagues in the office kept their heads down, looking like they were working, but in fact, they were peeping at me, as if they had bet everything on me.

And no wonder, only when Kieran put on a face that indicated neither irritation nor indifference, other women dared to fawn on him. He scared everyone away when he sat there like a cold-face Satan, just like now. If I were them, I would be scared shit out of myself.

But Everly looked at me with a smile through a window, looking elegant and waiting for me to be punished. I didn't have time to think about her. I might not live to the lunch today, not to mention seeing tomorrow's sun.

"Why didn't you answer my phone?" Kieran raised his head and looked at me, one hand tapping on the table out of boredom.

"I, I was about to, but the phone slipped into the sink. I picked it up. And it went black. It died." I lied in a low, drawling voice, managing a weak smile. I didn't need a mirror to know how embarrassed I was. Anyone could tell that I was lying, let alone him!

However, as his girlfriend, I had no choice but to lie. I couldn't tell the truth in public. What would they think if I said I spent the night with Marlon and when I was about to pick up the phone in his bed this morning, he broke it?

Kieran would kill me for sure.

"Your phone is broken?" He said gently, stood up and touched my head.

I trembled in fear and nodded in confirmation.

"Then buy a new one." Kieran smiled at me. I stiffened. What was he trying to do now? It was so terrifying.

Before I could pull myself together, he took my hand and pulled me out, looking affectionate.

'Oh, that was close.'

I heard everyone heave a sigh of relief. Seeing that Kieran was going to take me away, they were relieved. They were safe, but I was about to face my execution!

Being led out by him, I was so nervous that my hands were sweaty. He couldn't punish me in front of so many people. But with us alone, he could do all he wanted to do.

Behind us, Everly walked out and saw us leaving hand in hand. Her slender fingers clenched into tight fists. Her face turned gloomy and cold. And words squeezed out from her mouth one after another, "Your days won't be long."

"Mr. Charles, it's my fault. You can punish me as you please." There were only us in the elevator. I took a few deep breaths before I had the courage to speak.

"You dropped your phone into the water. It's broken. You didn't do it on purpose!" Kieran said.

I looked at him and didn't know what to say. I was sure that he knew that I lied about spending the night with Marlon, but why didn't he call my bluff? I looked at his expressionless face and saw nothing. But since he didn't bring it up, I just kept quiet, too. So, I just followed him without saying a word.

"Get in!" We arrived at the parking lot and got into the car.

I was confused, but I didn't refuse. He was more terrifying than ever, like a time bomb. I had no idea when it would explode or how powerful it would be. I could only enjoy the valuable peace that I was left with now.
