Bye, My Irresistible Love

Helen's POV:

My colleagues were smart enough to notice that something was off between us when George only greeted me.

Erick Walsh, the experienced senior lawyer among our group, stepped forward and greeted George.

He asked him, "Are you also here on a business trip, Mr.Affleck?"

"Yes," George replied and smiled faintly.

Even though he chose to be detached, he didn't want to make others uncomfortable, so he was polite.Erick grinned and said excitedly.

"What a coincidence! What floor do you stay on? Do you need me to show you the way?"

Looking down at the number written on his card key, George replied, "I'm staying in Room 1102."

I blinked in surprise and instantly felt bad about this.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм

Erick, as expected, clapped his hands together in excitement, smiled, and said, "This is amusing! We're staying on the same floor.Shall we go upstairs together?"

George nodded and joined us as we entered the elevator.I was staying with Erick's assistant, Michelle Kelly, on the 11th floor.

Our room was 1103, right next to George's room.

As I followed, I kept wondering if George did that intentionally.

As I got in the elevator, I deliberately hid in a corner, and without hesitation, George came to stand beside me unexpectedly.

In there, our backs were almost against the wall and our shoulders were touching as we stood beside each other.

George took my hand in his own and held it.

Shocked by this gesture, I looked at him in a way suggesting that he let go of my hand, because I wouldn't know what explanation to give if my colleagues were to see us holding hands.

George would not let go.

Instead, he playfully pinched my palm with the tip of his finger and smiled.

"Let me go!"

I mouthed to him, as I couldn't bring myself to make a sound.

George then reluctantly let go of my hand.
