Just as Julissa was about to decline the call, another hand beat her to it and snatched the phone first.
Julissa's expression changed, and she lunged over to try to snatch it back.
Unexpectedly, she did not even manage to touch the edge of the phone when she crashed into Cerillo's embrace.
There was a familiar scent. Cerillo's manly scent and demeanor engulfed her.
Julissa froze.
Before she even had a chance to react, she heard Garvit's excited voice, "Julissa, I knew you could never be so heartless to me.
You've put on such an act just now. I almost thought you really didn't want me anymore."
Julissa immediately felt the danger of a murderous gaze on her, making her scalp tingle. Garvit! What a despicable jerk!
Couldn't he keep his mouth shut?
She struggled, but her waist was held tightly by Cerillo, unable to move.
She met Cerillo's amused gaze as she raised her eyes.
Deep within, a hidden darkness lurked.
