    Chapter 496


    She told him about getting harassed by her male co–workers, being misunderstood, getting into a fight,


    being brought to the police station, and heing bailed out. She told him everything in detail. She spolo so


    much that she was starting to get a bit thirsty.


    Terry listened with a frown. It was hard to tell what he was thinking from his expression.

    He waited until Lisa finished before he said, “Why didn’t you call me?”


    “…I didn’t want to bother you. I thought you must be busy with work. It’s not a big deal anyway,” Lisa


    lied.


    Terry stared fixedly at Lisa It made her feel guilty.


    “Is it really because you didn’t want to bother me?” After a while, he broke the silence.


    She said sheepishly, “Of course.”


    He pursed his lips and said no more. They went back to staring at each other. Lisa was getting anxious.


    She wondered how long he was going to stare at her for


    Shouldn’t he be happy that she didn’t call him and disturb him for every little problem she had? Why


    was he looking at her like she owed him a million dors?


    “Let’s go.” he suddenly said and grabbed her hand.


    “Huh?” she looked at him nkly and asked, “Go where?”


    “Inside. Do you want to stand here forever?” he replied.


    That response made her choke. But if he was going to her house. “Don’t tell my parents about what


    happened today, okay?” If her parents found out, they would nag at her regardless of whether she was


    in the wrong or not.


    He suddenly smirked and asked, “Why should I help you keep it a secret from your parents?”


    “Because you’re my boyfriend!” she blurted out, but right after the words came out of her mouth, she


    realized that she shouldn’t have said that. They both knew what the deal was with their rtionship.


    “Oh, now you know that I’m your boyfriend? he asked sarcastically. He moved closer and said, “Why


    didn’t you remember that when you’re in trouble? I’m thest person to find out about it.”


    She stepped back unconsciously, but the more she retreated, the more he advanced on her.


    She said defensively, “I told you, I didn’t want to bother youTM


    He scoffed. “Yeah, keep lying. Any more lies you want to tell me? Say it all at once.”


    “I’m not lying… Ah!” She tripped on a stair behind her and shrieked as she fell backwards.


    was about to fall onto the stairs when she fell a strong force pulling at her wrist. The next moment, she


    fell forward into embrace.


    Lisa gasped in shock. A familiar scent filled her nostrils.


    She could feel Terry’s hand around her waist. Leaning against his body gave her a strong sense of


    security.


    She knew he wanted to take revenge on her and cause her pain, but right now, he actually made her


    feel safe,


    It was almost ironk.


    She heard his voice in her ear. “Lisa Quest, you’re a liar!”
