My Mute Bride Chapter 359

Chapter 359 Ruining Hook-up Plans

As the footsteps got closer and closer, Rachel held her breath. She wished that her heart would stop beating. Fortunately, the car was close to a wall. It didn’t look like a spot one could hide in if one looked, so the reporter just glanced at the car before leaving quickly.

After the sound of the reporter’s footsteps disappeared, Rachel sucked in a deep breath. She nearly suffocated there. Her chest heaved, now that air instantly filled her lungs, especially after she had been gasping for air from all that running earlier.

As she panted, Rachel looked around her. “I think he’s gone,” Rachel said, her voice as soft as a mosquito. She then made to move. “Let’s go.”

“Don’t move!” Justin suddenly pressed her shoulders down with his back pressed against the wall. He wanted to put some space between them. His usually cold face was now an abnormal shade of red.

Rachel initially didn’t understand, but when she felt something poke her in the thigh, she realized what was going on. Instantly, her eyes widened in disbelief. She shook Justin’s hands off herself the next moment. “What the heck are you thinking?” she chided.

Justin felt awkward and exasperated. He didn’t want this to happen right now either, but a man’s physiology was vastly different from a woman’s. It was easy for his mind to wander off when he was trapped in such a cramped space and when he could clearly smell the perfume lingering by Rachel’s neck.

“Sorry, I…”

Before Justin could finish his apology, Rachel extracted herself and put a safe distance between themselves.

What is up with him? How is he still like this even in such a time?

Just as she was thinking this, a yell came from somewhere. “They’re over there!”

Rachel’s expression changed. Crap! I forgot we’re still dodging the reporters!

The reporters came surging over. This time, they really had no place to hide.

Beep—beep— The sound of a horn blared throughout the parking lot. Two blinding lights lit up in front of them. Rachel and Justin were still frozen by the time the MPV stopped in front of them. The door to the back of the MPV opened.
