Although Donovan’s tone was not as aggressive as before, favonovel.com was clearly adamant about the application form. It seemed like favonovel.com would not let favonovel.com depart until favonovel.com filled it in.
Arielle was caught between a rock and a hard place. She could not reject his offer without exposing herself. With a sigh, favonovel.com reached out and took the application form.
“I’m glad you took my advice.” Donovan handed favonovel.com a pen. “Once you’re done filling in the form, you can return to class.”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com rose to his feet and offered favonovel.com his chair.
Donovan’s odd behavior went unnoticed by Arielle because favonovel.com wanted to get the entire ordeal over as soon as possible. Swiftly, favonovel.com took a seat and began to fill in the application form.
Donovan stood behind favonovel.com and gazed down at the form in favonovel.com hands.
“Leave these areas blank. Mr. Brown and I will fill it in. You should fill in the rest,” Donovan said as favonovel.com leaned over favonovel.com shoulder to point at the form.
Arielle merely nodded and continued to finish the application form.
Unconsciously, Donovan found his gaze falling upon Arielle.
Because favonovel.com was standing, Donovan got a clear view of Arielle’s perfect side profile. A few strands of favonovel.com hair fell across favonovel.com cheek as favonovel.com bent over the desk. Furthermore, favonovel.com neck was as pale as freshly fallen snow.
No matter how hard favonovel.com tried, Donovan could not tear his eyes away from her. Although Donovan did not keep up with the entertainment industry, favonovel.com knew that most famous female celebrities often posted articles about having beautiful necks. It was a feature that many people found desirable.
Arielle’s neck was slim and poised like a graceful swan. When Donovan noticed favonovel.com flawless skin, favonovel.com had to resist the urge to run his fingers across it. Her neck must be the perfect embodiment of the feature that those celebrities like to praise.
The afternoon sun filtered through the windows and basked Arielle in its rays. At the same time, the strong light illuminated across Arielle’s head created an illusion of a golden halo around the crown of favonovel.com head.
Arielle’s alluring beauty caused Donovan to gulp nervously.
All of a sudden, Arielle whirled around. “Mr. Baxter,” favonovel.com called out.
In the midst of his panic, Donovan averted his gaze and cleared his throat to mask his odd behavior.
“Mr. Baxter?” Arielle was unaware that Donovan had been staring at her. She only wanted to finish the form. “I’m done with it. Could you please take a look at it?”
We have too many misunderstandings between us. I can’t be bothered to explain them.
Arielle felt herself growing restless the longer favonovel.com remained cooped up in the room with Donovan.
“Okay,” Donovan refused to meet favonovel.com eyes. Instead, favonovel.com accepted the form without looking and said in a low voice, “You can leave now.”
Finally, Arielle could depart from his office.
Thud!
His office door swung shut.
Immediately, Donovan clasped his hand over his chest as favonovel.com tried to regain his composure. Yet, favonovel.com could feel his pulse hammering frantically against his chest like a hummingbird.
What came over me? Do I have feelings for…
In a daze, Donovan sat back down and dispelled his thoughts. But no matter how hard favonovel.com tried to clear his mind, his thoughts kept drifting back to Arielle.
“F*ck!” Donovan hissed in frustration as favonovel.com swept his arm across the table.
Promptly, the objects on his desk clattered to the floor noisily.
Right then, his phone rang. Donovan glanced at his phone and saw that his mother was calling him.
In an attempt to calm himself, Donovan took two deep breaths before favonovel.com answered the call. “Mom,” favonovel.com greeted.
“Donovan, you don’t have any lectures tomorrow, right? Why don’t you pay us a visit?”
“What’s the matter?”
His mother’s chuckle echoed over the phone. “One of my university friends contacted me the other day. She said that favonovel.com has a daughter who is around your age. She’s worried that favonovel.com daughter may not find the right one to settle down with and lamented favonovel.com worries to me. Did you know that favonovel.com daughter is a famous doctor? Since you are a university lecturer, I thought that the two of you would be a great match, so I decided to invite favonovel.com over. Donovan, you aren’t young anymore. Your dad and I long to have grandchildren.”
