This was strange. Why was Maurice being so cooperative?

Was he stealing glances at her?

Eliana was skeptical. She walked over to Maurice and waved her hand in front of his face. In an instant, his hand caught hers.

“What’s this? You’re bold again after getting dressed?”

A hint of playfulness was in Maurice’s voice. He grasped Eliana’s hand and slowly approached her until her back hit the bookshelf.

“What are you doing?”

Maurice’s looming figure made Eliana feel a little shy and uneasy.

Maurice lowered his eyes and moved even closer to her. She could feel his warm breath as his beautiful lips almost pressed against her ear.

“I have to tell you that your clothes…”

Eliana became stiff and her eyes flickered back and forth in a panic. She felt like a small songbird cornered by a huge beast.

“I just remembered that I forgot to turn off the gas at my house. I have to go. As for the clothes… I’ll wash them and return them to you later.”

Eliana pushed Maurice out of her way, grabbed her things, and rushed out of the room.

Maurice paused. He was unsure if he should laugh or cry.
