Chapter 152


    “I don’t care. You’re not allowed to do that.” Averting her gaze, Selena knew her resistance was almost


    futile. With Pierre’s status and personality, she wasn’t in a position to oppose anyway, as she could only


    obey his wishes. However, she was determined to go against him.


    Never perceiving their rtionship as a proper one, she assumed that it was a transaction of sorts that


    would allow them to each obtain what they desired. It wasn’t until they started the rtionship that she


    realized she in fact had hopes for it going somewhere.


    “I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to do this on our first date. Being in a rtionship means that we’ll


    have to love each other before we have sex.” Hearing her own words, she was aware how ridiculous


    she sounded by trying to imbue the concept of love to a man who only knew about transactions, as she


    deemed him incapable of love.


    Meanwhile, he was staring at her calm expression. Due to how close he was to her, he could hear her


    heart pounding. He also noticed she was shivering out of fear. She’s afraid? But why? Is she afraid that


    I might hurt her?


    Despite noticing that Pierre didn’t utter a single word, she dared not turn to look at him. She figured that


    her protests fell on deaf ears, as he already exercised an incredible amount of patience on her as


    things stood. “I can’t deny you if you insist. We’re merely engaged in a transaction anyway.”


    “Focus on the movie!” Without warning, he reverted into a gentleman, surprising Selena. Turning to


    check on him, she saw his face illuminated by the flickering lights from the screen, which made him


    look even more morose. Averting her gaze, she tidied her disheveled clothes.


    “I will not have sex with you without your consent,” he said all of a sudden. She whipped her head


    around to look at him, wondering if that was a promise. “You have my word.”


    With that, she turned around to continue watching the movie. Furtively, Pierre cast her a nce, and


    seeing her facial expression soothing managed to calm him down. He wished she could let her guard


    down toward him, as well as stop fearing him.


    After that, they resumed watching the movie. Thetter part ced emphasis on its thriller elements, so


    there were no more graphic scenes. Thus, they managed to finish their movie without a hitch. While on


    their way home, none of them spoke, nor did Selena muster up the courage to speak despite


    constantly stealing nces at him. She decided she should remain silent as she knew he had to be


    angry.


    Upon their arrival at home, Selena got out of the car. “I’ll be taking my leave.” Pierre got out too. With


    the moonlight shining on his tall gesture, he gave her the impression of being a knight in shining armor


    while standing before her. Before he could speak, Selena stood on her toes to give him a peck on the


    cheek.


    “Goodnight!” she said. Then, she scuttled back into her house and mmed the door shut. Pierre, at


    this moment, still hadn’te back to his senses. There was a tingling sensation on the spot that she


    pecked him on, but it wasfortable. Caressing his cheek unconsciously, he returned to his house.


    Meanwhile, Selena was leaning against the door with her face still burning from embarrassment. She


    didn’t n to kiss him at all, but decided that he deserved a reward for making such a huge


    compromise.

    After a while, she took a peek through the peephole before going upstairs. By thetter half of the


    night, she kept tossing and turning in bed as she was unable to fall asleep, her mind thinking of nothing


    but Pierre. Unbidden, she recalled Linda’s words of warning about her rtionship.
