Being Pursued By Ex-husband

The vehicle suddenly stopped at the side of the road when Charlize was still reeling from the shock.

Without warning, Spencer leaned toward her. “Do you have any more questions?”

She was already sitting askew, so when he leaned over, the gap between them narrowed. The man's face appeared before her eyes.

She gave a start when she saw his dark eyes right before her, and her hand, which was cradling her chin, slipped, causing her face to collide with his.

Spencer grabbed her just in time, and after she steadied herself and raised her head, she found herself getting sucked into those attractive eyes of his.

“I-I'm sorry! It was an accident!” Charlize's countenance was flushed with embarrassment, so much so that her ears were turning red.

Staring at her, Spencer gulped and uttered in a deep voice, “Are you hurt?”

“N-No.” At that point, Charlize didn't have the courage to face him directly.

She lowered her head and gazed at her hands, still thinking about the sensation she felt when their faces touched. Her heart pounded loudly, refusing to calm down.

They were so close to each other that she could feel Spencer's breath on her face, causing her burning cheeks to feel hotter than ever.

Charlize couldn't sit still, but they were in a car. The only way she could escape was by leaving the parked car.

Her breathing quickened until she pleaded in a small voice, “Can you please not lean so close to me, Spencer?”

She had always been a sucker for attractive appearances, so she felt her self-control giving way as she stared at his handsome face up close.

“Why?” asked Spencer instead of backing away.

That question of his only served to make her blush intensify. She didn't have the guts to speak as her eyelashes trembled. It's not like I can tell him I want to touch his face.

“I just feel a bit hot, that's all,” she said.

“Really?” Spencer arched his eyebrow, which was rare. He then lowered the car window. Seeing how she was hanging her head, too embarrassed to look at him, he stopped making things difficult for her. “Have you finished asking your questions?”

In response, she lifted her head, staring at him. “Y-Yes.”

I'm so annoying today. I kept asking questions during the ride.

The embarrassment she had just suppressed rose again when she thought about that.

“In that case, it's my turn to ask a question,” stated Spencer.

“Eh?” She appeared startled.

“What are you afraid of?”

“What? I'm not afraid,” answered Charlize. I'm just nervous. I feel like I've been on a wild roller-coaster of emotions this morning.

“What do you want to ask?” I think it's normal for him to ask a few questions after all those questions I threw at him. Humans tend to be curious, after all. I do wonder what he wants to know. After being by his side for such a long time, I once thought he no longer cared about anything in the world. But surprisingly, he became my boyfriend in the blink of an eye. Come to think of it, it's quite exciting to have my superior as my boyfriend.

Without warning, Spencer asked, “When did you start liking me?”

Charlize choked on her saliva upon hearing that and coughed violently.

Patting her back to help her calm down, Spencer wondered, “Is it a difficult question to answer?”

A faint grin formed on his countenance as he eyed her.

Charlize glanced at him. “I-I don't remember.”

Wordlessly, Spencer raised his eyebrow, looking as though he was smiling but not at the same time.

Guilt flooded Charlize's heart as she intentionally checked the time on her phone. “It's almost nine. We're going to be late.”

“No need to rush.” Spencer informed, “I still haven't had breakfast yet.”

Charlize was flabbergasted. “But there's a meeting at half past nine.”

As she spoke, she glanced outside and found out why Spencer parked the car at the side of the road.

There were plenty of breakfast stalls and shops.

Having been Spencer's secretary for over a year, Charlize understood what she needed to do. “I'll buy your breakfast, then.”

“I'll go,” he said while descending the car. “Would you like to have something else?”

He knew Charlize must've eaten at home.

She wanted to reduce her weight recently, so as much as she wanted to indulge in the delicious food on the roadside, she gulped and said, “I'm full.”

“Okay.” Without delay, Spencer closed the door and went to a breakfast store.

Charlize stared at his back and said with a sigh, “No wonder people say you should turn someone you dislike into your boyfriend. I've just agreed to become his girlfriend, and now I don't even need to buy breakfast for him.”

Soon, Spencer returned with some breakfast, and the tantalizing aroma of food instantly filled the car, causing Charlize to feel hungry.

No, no! I must resist the temptation. I'll be the bridesmaid for one of my university roommates in a few days. To force myself to maintain my figure, I asked her to get me the smallest size dress. There's no turning back for me, but the food smells so lovely...

Staring at the pancake Spencer bought, Charlize almost drooled.
