Twenty-Two
Adam didn't want tothink his Temptation had anything similar with Ilona, but the way she was now feigning surprise upon seeing him just smacked of guilt.
Even so, he forced himself to smile and strove hard not to jump to any conclusions.
"Hello, Temptation."
Her cheeks turned pink, but Adam was no longer certain whether her blushes were genuine or not.
"So..." It was a struggle to keep his voice even. "How exactly did you find me?"
She shook her head with a laugh. "But I didn't."
He could see that she was expecting him to laugh or at least smile with her, but how the hell could he do that when she was fucking killing him with her lies?
He had known she was more of a thorn than a rose, but she was supposed to be a thorn that didn't fucking lie.
So why the hell was she breaking his heart by lying?
"I'm here to meet this other doctor—-"
"Enough." He didn't want to hear another word from her,ever.
She reared back at the abruptness of his tone. "D-Doctor?"
"I never want to see you again after this."
"E-Excuse me?"
"You heard me."
"I don't understand. What's wrong?" She tried reaching for him, but Adam swiftly stepped back, and her face paled.
"Just fucking leave," Adam said tonelessly, "before I call security on you."
Her eyes started to tear, but he hardened his heart against it and forced himself to walk away.
