    Chapter 144 Don''t Tell Me You''re nning to Run Away


    "It''s been so long. Why hasn''t Jeffersone back yet?"


    If it were someone else, not to mention making Alicia wait, even if they didn''t arrive earlier than her, this youngdy would have thrown a fit.


    In this world, only Jefferson had the power to make her set aside her pride like this.


    Sophia nced at her watch. “Yeah, Jeff has been gone for quite a while.”


    Looking at the shop assistant. she asked, "When that gentleman left, did he say when he would be back?"


    "Huh?"


    The shop assistant''s eyes slid toward the fitting room and dryly said, “Sorry. I was busy tidying up the counter in the back. I didn’t know."


    "Why bother asking her?"


    Alicia scoffed. "Would Jefferson tell a shop assistant where he''s going?"


    Jefferson...


    Upon hearing that name, the shop assistant froze for a moment, finally remembering where she had heard the name Jefferson before.


    Lowering her head to hide her fright. she thought with lingering fear, thank goodness she didn''t say anything rash just now.Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    “I''ll call and ask.”


    Sophia took out her cellphone, but just as she was about to dial, she received a message from Jefferson.


    "Hey, Jeff says he''s noting back. He went straight to the restaurant on the top floor. Let''s finish shopping and meet him there.”


    "What are we waiting for then? Let''s go.”


    Upon hearing this, Alicia stood up and started walking.


    "But Elianna hasn''te out yet. Shouldn''t we wait for her?"


    "Why wait for her? She has hands and feet. She can make her own way over, can''t she?"


    Alicia hadn''t formed a good impression of Elianna due to the incident with N, and now, desperate to see Jefferson, she pulled Sophia and headed


    out.


    Sophia only had time to call out to the fitting room, “Anna, we''re going to the top floor. When you''re done trying on clothes,e find us upstairs.”


    "Okay."


    Elianna responded with a muffled sound.


    When she heard the people outside leaving, she dared not open the door immediately. Instead, she opened it just a crack, crouched down, and


    peeked outside.


    Jefferson leaned against the doorway, smirking as he looked at her. “Done with your reconnaissance?"


    “I''ll take another look."


    As she bent over, her behind was yfully tapped.


    She startled and turned around. "What are you doing?”


    Jefferson approached step by step, his presence pressing against her, making her unconsciously step back.

    "I''m going out."


    "What else do you think?"


    Realizing that she was being yed with again, Elianna clenched her teeth in anger and stepped aside.

    Elianna felt a bit embarrassed and couldn''t help but worry.


    After they left the store, she kept looking back. "Do you think she''ll tell anyone?"


    Jefferson nced at her and chuckled. "Do you think everyone is like you daring to provoke me?"


    Elianna remained silent.


    As they reached the elevator, she had no intention of getting on.


    "I won''t have dinner tonight. I''ll tell Sophy... ah!"


    Before she could finish her sentence. Jefferson pulled her into the elevator.


    "So, who will keep mepany tonight if you''re leaving?"


    No one else was in the elevator, and Elianna rxed a bit. She casually said, "Of course, it''s Alicia."


    "Heh."


    The man chuckled, his voice filled with amusement. "If you''re into threesomes, I''m ok."


    Elianna froze for a moment, realizing what he was saying, her pupils slowly dting.


    Could it be that he has such a preference?


    Seeing her expression, Jeffersonughed. “What are you thinking? Can''t you tell I''m teasing you?”


    Elianna didn''t believe it and took a step back quietly.


    It seemed reasonable for someone like Jefferson to have unique hobbies like that.


    "Ding!"


    The elevator doors opened, and Jefferson took a few steps before realizing that Elianna hadn''t followed


    "What''s the matter? Are your legs too weak to walk?"


    Elianna ignored his flirtation and said, "We can''t go in together. You go first, and I''lle overter."


    Jefferson didn''t move, standing in
