Chapter: 1180
Late one night, Cecilia’s phone rang, and it was Mark on the other end. “Come to the door, he said.
What?!
Her heart raced with excitement. Was he really in Duefron?
She didn’t want to waste any time, so she quickly changed into a dress and hurried downstairs. Korbyn, her father, was still reading the newspaper. He casually asked, “It’s so late. Why are you going out?”
“Shelly asked me to meet up with her,” Cecilia replied, making up an excuse before dashing out of the house.
Korbyn sighed helplessly as he watched his daughter leave.
Outside, a black Lotus sports car was parked near the Fowler’s house.
Mark, dressed in a sleek black suit, leaned against the car door while smoking. He blended in with the night, and as soon as he saw Cecilia running towards him, he opened his arms invitingly. She gladly embraced him, resting her head on his shoulder, inhaling his intoxicating scent.
“You almost burned me,” she teased playfully.
Mark smiled, extinguishing his cigarette.
He leaned in to kiss her on the lips, but they both knew they couldn’t get too intimate here, right at the entrance of her house.
Clearly understanding the situation, Mark kissed her briefly and then gestured for her to get into the car.
Cecilia fastened her seat belt, her eyes shining with curiosity. “Where are we going?”
She wanted to ask if they were heading to a hotel, but she didn’t want to appear too forward, as if she was eager for a physical relationship with him.
Mark turned to look at her, and the sight of her made his heart skip a beat.
He had missed her immensely during the past week, and today, he had finally made some time to see her.
Holding her hand, he said in a hoarse voice, “You’ll find out when we get there.”
Cecilia nodded with a smile, trusting him completely.
The black sports car sped down the road for about an hour before coming to a stop in front of a luxurious apartment on Gamous Road.
This area was renowned for its high prices and extreme privacy, attracting business tycoons and celebrities who could afford the lavish homes.
Mark led Cecilia upstairs, and as she pushed open the door, she was greeted with a sight of opulence.
The apartment spanned approximately 120 square meters, exquisitely decorated with a touch of elegance. Some soft jazz music was on, adding to the stylish ambiance.
