The Substitute Bride: Making Memories Of Us (Lois Stone)

As soon as Ayla went downstairs, Brian caught up with her and grabbed her arm.

"What's the matter with you? Were you trying to set me up with Linda? Do you really not care?"

"Mr.Clark, I think it’s inappropriate of you to hold me like this in public."

Ayla glared at him.

Was he aware of what he was doing right now? This was the hotel's lobby.

Numerous people were coming and going, and she didn't want them to mistake her for a whore.

"Is that so? I don't care about other people's opinions.Don't you know who owns this place?"

Brian proudly stood at the center of the lobby, showing no intention of letting her go.

As of this moment, Ayla was powerless.

So what if he owned this place? Yes, she cared about what other people thought of her, and she didn't want to be seen with him.But was this reason enough to stop him? Why couldn't he just listen to her? 

"Let me drive you back to your office."

After saying that, he carried her to the car parked outside and drove her to work.Ayla sat in the office for the entire day, but she practically did nothing.

What Lucas said to her last night was still clouding her mind.

She was still debating whether to leave or not.She had two choices: she could either leave or cater to Brian's whims.

However, she was aware of the fact that leaving wouldn't be easy.

And even if she did try to leave, Brian might be able to catch her and drag her back.

When night fell, Ayla received a call from Yareli.

They were supposed to have dinner together.

"Wenny, we haven't seen each other for over a month.It looks like you've lost some weight.You must've been having difficulties working on your own," said Yareli.

"It's fine.I'm used to it.I was born in Antawood.I am not a stranger to this place, and I've gotten accustomed to it," Ayla replied casually.
