Bye, My Irresistible Love

Helen’s POV 

In the evening.

I arrived at the appointed restaurant at the designated time, but neither Cece nor Kendal showed up.

At that moment.George was sitting opposite me.He stared at me the whole time with his deep eyes, without saying a word, The atmosphere was becoming more and more tense.

I felt really awkward and prayed that those two would come early.I sent several messages to Cece, and she finally replied, "Sorry, I’m on my way back to Philly.I’ll see you the next time I come to New York."

This woman… Why didn’t she tell me earlier? What was wrong with her? I had been waiting here for so long, hoping to dine with her and Kendal.Since the protagonist wasn’t coming, there was no need for me to stay.I picked up my bag and was about to leave.

But George stood up and stopped me.

"Helen."

"What do you want?"

I tilted my head upwards and looked at him icily.

"Can we have dinner first?"

George blocked my way with his tall and slender figure.He was extremely close to me.When he spoke, he lowered his head and I got a whiff of his fresh, minty breath I took a step back to keep my distance from him.He was now no different from a total stranger to me.

"I’m sorry.I have something else to do.Maybe some other time."

"Then let me give you a ride."He followed me with no intention of giving up.

"No, thanks."

I left without looking back and walked quickly to the subway station.

George followed me six feet behind and got onto the subway with me.He was in the same car as me and I could sense that he was determined to talk to me.I asked impatiently, "George, are you stalking me?"

"No! It’s so late.It’s not safe for you to go home alone."
