Chapter 4
David Fox is here?
The moment Yelena Miller heard the news, she immediately grew nervous.
But it was not because of David Fox himself. Instead, her concern lay in this: if he truly clashed with the security guards, or if he ended up provoking Zeke Miller, then that would confirm everything Lucas Grey had been thinking.
It would also mean that David Fox was not the person she had believed him to be. Perhaps even the antidote he gave her father had ulterior motives behind it.
She frowned slightly and stood up. “Rose, Young Master Grey, I’ll head over and take a look. I’ll find you two again later.”
[What the hell? Got nothing better to do than pester us? Go hang out with your male lead already.]
Lucas Grey could only sigh.
Watching Yelena Miller walk away, he turned to Rose White. “Not curious enough to go join the crowd?”
[As long as Rose White stays away from me, the male lead will never notice me. I just want to blend into the background and be invisible.]
Rose White bit her lip to hold back a laugh. So he wanted to be invisible?
She had no intention of letting that happen.
“I came out today to relax. Why would I get involved in drama? Lucas Grey, there’s a dance going on over there. Why don’t you join me for one?”
Dance?
Lucas Grey nearly coughed up blood.
Half the people in the hall were already casting sneaky glances their way, and the other half were glaring daggers at him. Now she wanted to be even more conspicuous by dancing? Why not just make him run around naked?
He dropped back onto the couch with a thud. “Can’t. Still recovering. Feeling dizzy. No dancing.”
“Dizzy?” Rose White leaned in toward him. “Let me massage your temples.”
Lucas Grey: “...”
[Have you lost your mind? Your childhood sweetheart is literally at the front gate. Why are you over here massaging me instead of going to see your precious male lead?]
He screamed internally, but he had to maintain his role. He couldn’t even push her away.
On the surface, he looked like he was lazily reclining on the couch, but in truth, every muscle in his body was tensed. Rose White was practically lying on top of him.
Her cool, soft fingers pressed gently against his temples. The light fragrance from her neck wafted straight into his face.
At this distance and angle, her neckline was completely exposed.
Even their legs were pressed tightly together.
He could feel her body heat seeping through his thin pants, and it was driving him crazy.
[Too close, too fragrant. Why is my nose itching? Am I seriously about to get a nosebleed? No, no, not now.]
[But actually, if I do, it fits the character. I’m the simp, after all. Getting a nosebleed next to the school beauty is totally in character. Nothing to be ashamed of.]
Hearing his inner monologue, Rose White’s lips curved into a smug smile.
Wouldn’t touch her for a 100 million? Please.
He was obviously all talk.
The more she listened to Lucas Grey rambling in his head, the more she wanted to mess with him.
She leaned in even closer. Her fingers slid from his temples to the back of his neck, lightly brushing along his skin, then gliding down to his arm.
Lucas Grey felt like his brain had short-circuited.
[Author!]
[System!]
[Somebody help. Look at what you’ve done to this character. She’s supposed to be a frosty queen who hates the villain. Now she’s massaging him? Leaning on him? What happened to kicking him away at the slightest touch?]
[No. I can’t just sit here and take this. She’s being so bold because she thinks I’m too injured to react. I need to scare her a little, remind her that men aren’t toys, and she can’t just touch me however she wants.]
With this thought, Lucas Grey took a deep breath. Just as her fingers slid down to the base of his neck, making his whole body tremble, he suddenly lunged forward and threw his arms wide to catch her.
But all he caught was air.
Rose White had clearly anticipated the move. The moment he reached out, she stood up.
