Chapter 209 Never Dreamed of You
With that thought in mind, she opened the door and ran out barefoot.
As she prepared to rush straight to the living room, she unexpectedly jumped into Michael's arms, who was looking for her.
Michael, caught off guard, took two steps back before steadying himself and asked, "What's wrong?"
Holding onto Eva's waist, he prevented her from falling.
At this moment, Eva couldn't think of anything else and asked instinctively, "Did Lisa come back?"
Upon hearing her question, Michael couldn't help but let out a sigh. "Don't worry, I came to tell you about this."
Eva calmed down and took two steps back to look at him.
Michael noticed that she wasn't even wearing shoes and her clothes were the same as last night. Realizing that she probably wouldn't bother dressing until she heard the whole story, he quickly simplified the situation. "She's safe, nothing happened. Our people stayed at the hotel and just returned a moment ago."
"They stayed at the hotel? How? Where is she in the hotel? Did she go in?"
When she left, she didn't take her room key, so logically Lisa wouldn't have been able to enter.
Michael looked at her, seemingly observing the expression on her face. After a while, he chuckled lightly, "If I said she went in, how would you feel?"
Hearing his words, Eva paused.
Then, a serious expression appeared on her face.
"Is it fun for you to test me like this?"
Originally, a faint smile lingered on the face, but seeing her expression darken, the smile vanished.
"That's not what I meant."
"Since yesterday evening when you came back, you have been intentionally or unintentionally testing me."
Michael paused, then raised his gaze to look at her earnestly.
"Well, let's just say that I was testing you because I was nervous, because I care, because I feel helpless, so I can only use this method to see if you will change your mind about him, to see if I still have a chance." Eva was caught off guard.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Since you already know she is safe, go inside and put on your coat."
Eva lowered her head and saw the pajamas she was wearing.
"It's cold outside, don't catch a cold," Michael said gently.
Hotel.
The sun was already up, and Lisa leaned against the wall, so tired that she could barely keep her eyes open.
She had been squatting here all night, without hearing any noise from inside. It seemed like nothing had happened to him.
I wonder if he woke up and saw the note I left for him?
After squatting for a while, Lisa felt her legs going numb.
When she tried to stand up and move, her phone fell with a snap.
She quickly picked it up to check if it was broken.
Once she confirmed that the phone was safe, Lisa breathed a sigh of relief, but then her expression turned unpleasant. Last night, because she was afraid Eva would call her, she had turned off her phone.
Who knows if Eva was worried about her all night.
Thinking of this, Lisa turned on her phone.
Sure enough, she saw countless missed calls from Eva, instantly filled with guilt.
If she didn't truly like this man, she wouldn't have abandoned her sister like this, but...
This opportunity only comes once, she truly cannot miss it.
After she settles things with this man, she will go back and make amends with Eva.
Lisa put the phone away, moved her body a bit, and then went to ring the doorbell of the hotel room.
Because Adrian was drunk last night, Lisa didn't know if he was awake yet, so it was a gamble.
She pressed the doorbell twice at first, but there was no response from inside, so Lisa patiently waited.
She didn't know how much time had passed, and she didn't know how many times she had pressed the doorbell when the door finally opened.
A handsome man stood by the door, exuding a chilling aura after being awakened, coldly gazing at her.
At first glance, Lisa felt the chill.
"Hello?"
The next second, the door was slammed shut.
Lisa almost had her nose hit by the door panel.
When she reacted again, she approached and pressed the doorbell once more.
After pressing it twice, the handsome man opened the door again.
"What's the matter?" Adrian did recognize the woman in front of him.
The woman who had pestered him at the bar for a long time.
He looked at her with cold indifference, never expecting that this woman who used to bother him at the bar would actually follow him to the hotel. Lisa nodded, afraid of being shut out again.
So, after nodding, she wanted to squeeze in. Surprisingly, the man raised his hand and blocked the door, looking at her with a cold expression, showing no intention of letting her in. "... Let me in first. I have something to say to you."
"Right here, one minute," Adrian replied coldly.
Lisa didn't expect him to be so unfriendly. But then she thought that maybe he didn't know what happened last night since he just woke up, and that's why he acted like this. With that in mind, she decisively spoke, "You got drunk last night, and I brought you to this hotel."
Hearing this, Adrian paused.
"And I also paid for your hotel room."
Lisa smiled awkwardly and explained, "Of course, I'm not saying this to ask you to pay me back. I just don't want you to misunderstand me."
When she mentioned helping him while drunk last night, Adrian fell silent for a moment, and a certain scene suddenly flashed through his mind.
In the chaos, he seemed to have caught a glimpse of a figure that haunted him in the bar.
But after waking up, he found this unfamiliar woman claiming that he got drunk, and she helped him.
Adrian squinted his eyes.
Could it be that he hallucinated last night when he was drunk?
No, something wasn't right.
Although he saw her figure every time he closed his eyes during these five years, she never appeared in his dreams.
Not even when he was drunk.
Last night was the first time he saw her.
It couldn't be a dream.
She was there.
Damn it!
With that in mind, Adrian's expression changed, and he immediately turned and walked inside.
Lisa didn't know what was going on, but seeing that he didn't lock the door, she quickly followed him inside.
"Well, I helped you last night, but you don't have to thank me too much. If you really want to thank me, how about we exchange contact information?" Lisa said as she took out her phone. Adrian glanced coldly at her.
After a moment, he recited a series of numbers to her.
Once Lisa finished inputting the numbers, he said, "It's my assistant's contact information. Regarding what happened last night, contact him, and he will compensate you accordingly." With that, Adrian put on his coat, grabbed his phone, and walked out without looking back.
