    A sh of light darted across his dark eyes.


    After a moment, he restored his usual calm demeanor." Well, here | am right in front of you now. Will you tell me how you n to


    im responsibility for that night?"


    Isabel bit her lip. She had been thinking about this endlessly over the past two days.


    Before he showed up, she even considered buying his silence with a huge cheque and tell him to forget about it, but now that


    she was facing him and looking at his handsome face, she realized she could not bear to hurt him and could not get the words


    out.


    Doing that was almost certain to wound his pride and feelings.


    She opted for a direct approach instead. "How do you expect me to take responsibility?”


    She wore a stout, serious expression that held a strange contrast with her doll-like appearance.


    Rnd looked at her silently for a moment, then suddenly lowered his head close toward her.


    At the same time, he cupped her chin with his palms.


    Isabel could feel the warm touch of his fingers pressing against her lips. She was so close to him that her eyes widened


    immediately.


    Her usual instinct in situations like this was to give the man a brutal p, but now, she had grown stiff and could not move at all.


    Then, Rnd suddenly released her and pulled away. He looked at her solemnly and stated bluntly, "1 want to be your


    boyfriend."


    Huh?


    Boyfriend?


    He was trying to date her?


    Isabel was too stunned to know how to respond to such a proposition.


    After failing to receive an answer from her after a long silence, Rnd frowned faintly. He asked in a slightly dejected voice, "Is


    that a no?"


    "No.Jt’s not..." Isabel thought for a moment before stating, ’ Rnd, I’m an actress."


    "| know."


    "| can''t get into a rtionship."


    He refuted her point, "I don''t think there are anyw or ethical reasons stopping an actor from entering a rtionship.”


    Isabel stammered as she spoke, "I...I’m too busy. | don’t have time for a rtionship."


    Rnd stated, "It’s okay, I’m very busy too. | won''t get in the way of your job."


    Isabel no longer knew what to say to this.


    Rnd looked at her intently. His eyes had a blinding glow underneath them that made him resemble a ferocious beast ready to


    pounce from the fog of the rain. There was a certain all-consuming wildness inside them, and yet there was also a trace of


    endearment.


    Isabel could not make herself refuse him even if she wanted to.


    It was as if refusing him would suddenly make her a terrible woman that had taken advantage of him.


    She took a deep breath and decided atst, "Okay, if you don’t mind being neglected sometimes because I’m too busy with work,


    then we can start dating."


    They were just entering a rtionship, not a marriage, thus they could break up any time they wanted to.


    He smiled.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Before she knew it, he drew in closer toward her and kissed her on the lips.


    She was caught off guard by this gesture.


    He could at least give her a hint before kissing her!


    His lips were so soft. There was afortable warmth that poured into her through his breath.


    She returned the favor and kissed him as well.


    After a while, Rnd let go of her. His icy expression softened uncharacteristically with a faint smile, which made him look more


    handsome than he already was.


    Isabel nearlyunched herself into his arms, but the rationale part of her knew better. She coughed and pushed away these


    thoughts, then told him, "It’s gettingte. You should go home and rest."


    Rnd nodded.


    He stuffed the umbre into her hand.


    The rain was getting heavier.


    Isabel tried to stop him. "The hotel is right there. It''ll take me only a few seconds to run in. You should take the umbre." He


    refused, "It''s fine. My car is right there."
