No Way Back

Chapter 36

Hugh lowered his head. The image of Jane reflected off his deep, amber

eyes.

The moment those eyes marked out a target, it felt as though they were capable of ***one’s soul into an icy-cold vortex.

They were dangerous and sexy.

“Come on in.”

Since he was doing her a favor, it was wrong of her to be rude.

What else could she say? Jane had taken an interest in the food in the picture.

Hugh had brought the food all the way here. If she refused to let him through the door, it made her seem unreasonable.

Jane was very confident about her moves.

However, she had no confidence in the likes of Hugh.

One thing was certain though, Hugh was not the sort of guy to go against

her wishes and touch her.

Hugh’s lips curved upward slightly as he entered Jane’s residence.

The décor inside was simple and bright. Everything was clearly visible.

There was a lightly colored low-profile couch, a coffee table, lighting, and a dining furniture set.

She had everything she needed.

There was nothing extraneous in the place.

Jane’s style was just like Hugh’s.

Jane took the food container from Hugh and said, “Just make yourself comfortable. Erm… Have you eaten yet?”

Hugh raised his chin. He nodded and said, “Eat up while it’s hot.”

“Okay then. I happen to be hungry anyway since I haven’t eaten anything.”

Jane and Hugh were too close, so the atmosphere felt weird.

She genuinely did not know how to handle men like him who were very strong and dangerous.

It felt as though Hugh could suppress her anytime.

Jane told Hugh to look around while she brought the food containers to the kitchen.

Whatever it was, there was nothing for Hugh to steal at her place.

He was the heir to one of the most powerful families in the world, so he probably felt her place was nothing more than an ant’s nest.

After opening the food containers, sure enough, it contained a strange black substance.

Jane held it up and smelled it.
