GoodNovelChapter 1334 Stay Sober "Alright, I got it." Andrew looked up at Annika as she approached, his mind suddenly clear. He said softly, "Tell Mr. Clemens I'll be back soon." "Okay," Rodolfo replied before cautiously hanging up. He glanced hesitantly at Micah. "Andrew said he'll be back soon." "Alright," Micah responded, waving Rodolfo off. Rodolfo nodded and left, carefully closing the door behind him. Left alone in the dim room, Micah continued to smoke, feeling a mix of emotions. He saw through Sadie's plan to have Annika lure Andrew out to get him to spill the beans. Andrew, being sharp, should have seen it too. Yet, he still went. Maybe he couldn't resist Annika, or perhaps he saw this as a chance to leak a secret without guilt, hoping Sadie would return to the Clemens family. Whatever the case, Andrew was already poised for what Micah perceived as "betrayal." Micah had Rodolfo make the call to let Andrew know his actions were being monitored. That simple message, which Rodolfo hadn't fully grasped, made Andrew think twice. Knowing Micah was aware of his meetup with Annika added significant pressure. Micah was confident that Andrew wouldn't say anything compromising now.
When it cto strategic thinking, Sadie had met her match in Micah. Still, her efforts to uncover the truth about him, however misguided, indicated that she cared. For whatever reason, that thought brought him a measure of satisfaction.
"Andrew!" "Annika!" It was the first tthey were meeting alone, and at night no less. Andrew felt a mix of nervousness and shyness. Despite having seen so much while following Micah, dating was a new experience for him. "Are you cold?" Annika asked softly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I'm not cold," Andrew replied, looking at Annika. She looked exceptionally beautiful tonight, dressed elegantly, but he didn't dare say it.
"I'm cold," Annika said unhappily.
"Oh." Andrew instinctively responded, then quickly added, "Then let's get in the car. There's heating." Annika fell silent. She thought he would take off his coat and put it on her, and then she could lean into his arms and get him to talk in the moment of intimacy. But he actually said there was heating in the car. Andrew didn't think much of it and opened the passenger door directly.
Annika had no choice but to get in the car. Andrew turned on the heating, adjusted the temperature, and asked with concern, "Are you still cold?" "Not anymore." Annika shook her head. She didn't know what opportunity to look for next. The coat trick was something Arya had taught her.
"Did you have dinner?" Andrew asked again.
"Yes." Annika rolled her eyes. Andrew was just asking pointless questions.
"So, is there something you wanted to talk about?" Andrew asked her nervously.
"Can't I just want to see you?" Annika said irritably.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"No." Andrew quickly explained, "I was just worried you needed something. I wanted to help."
"Finally, you said something sensible." Annika's expression softened, and she said shyly, "I don't really have anything specific.
It's just that we live close now, and there's nothing much going on here. I just wanted to see you." Andrew felt a bit moved and said softly, "Yeah, we never really had a chance to sit down and talk alone."
"Well, now we have the chance, don't we?" Annika mustered the courage to look at him. She said, if you're not too busy, you can cover and seeoften."
"How could I not be busy? I'm swamped." Andrew blurted out, then quickly corrected himself, "But I'll still make tto see you."
