Speed Candles novel Chapter 4

Emily hesitated to introduce herself when she heard this male voice tinged with indifference and a bit of playfulness.

"How could it be you?" Emily calmed down and instantly identified the man must be Sebastian Clark.

Sebastian walked out from the door. His distinctly outlined face was as sentimental as before—the slender eyes under his dashing eyebrows, the prominent nose, and the thin lips. Only that his hair was shorter than it was two years ago, and his eyes were sharper.

“I wonder if Miss Morris likes this kind of reunion?"

It had been two years since they last saw each other. Sebastian sat on the edge of the interview table to look at her face, which used to be dashing and enchanting. But now, only her eyes still had a few traces of the old sparkles.

“Prison really is a good place to rehabilitate a person”, Sebastian thought. As he was thinking, Emily’s face changed with a smile, “Mr. Clark, I just got out of jail. Are you so addicted to me from the night two years ago to look for me all over the world? What are you up to? Do you want to have a pricy ride or keep me as your secret lover?”

She was not a fool, and there must be a reason behind her presence in Dier.

Emily looked into his eyes directly. She was smiling, but her eyes were filled with provocation as if she can take off her clothes at any minute.

Sebastian stepped forward to lift her chin and satirized, “You really are hopeless. Two years in prison didn’t change your shameless nature!”

Emily was an arrogant girl since she was a child. She would never allow anyone to provoke her, especially when she was dealing with a man. She stretched out her hand and moved Sebastian’s finger on her chin to her left cheek. She slightly raised her head and questioned, “I thought you liked me two years ago, Mr. Clark?”

“Emily Morris!” Sebastian was disgusted with her sordid behavior, but the way those dashing eyes looked at him would be hard to resist for any man in this world.

Emily showed a reckless disregard for Sebastian’s warning shout of her name. She put her arms around the man's neck. “Stop pretending, Sebastian. I know you like this.”

Wasn't he more shameful than her?

They were only half an inch away from each other. Sebastian was obsessed with her enchanting fragrance when she talked.

“It's better for a lady to be reserved. You might suffer from being coquettish.” Sebastian did not hide the contemptuous mockery in his eyes.

Emily tightened her arms around Sebastian’s neck. She looked completely different from the quiet girl she was before she entered the room.

“I repeat, get out!” Sebastian looked at her as if she was some disgusting germ.

Emily curled her lips and pressed her body to him.

“Mr. Clark, stop posturing! You obviously liked it...”

When Emily saw blue veins stood out on Sebastian’s forehead, she smiled with her amorous eyes and scolded him inwardly, “what a hypocrite!”

“Sebastian, you don't love Louisa at all! No, you don’t love any women in this world. You were forced by your father to marry her”, Emily whispered in Sebastian’s ear. She slowly lifted her gorgeous lips to a self-satisfied smirk.

As soon as he heard this, Sebastian frowned slightly, and he felt extremely disgusted by the woman who stuck to him like a leech. He severely shook off Emily’s arms around his neck and pushed her away. “Get the hell out of here”, he said in a tough tone.

Emily was pushed two steps away by him. She did not intend to stay even if he didn't drive her away, not to mention after receiving his eviction order.
