TAKE MY BREATH AWAY - Chapter 1454 Extra Story About Gifford (Part One)

After Erica was injured in the fire, Chantel went to the Huo family’s villa to make sure she was okay. She stayed there a couple days and then went back to the Li family’s house to look after the child.

A week had passed, but she still hadn’t seen Gifford. She didn’t have the courage to send a message or call him to ask him where he was or whether he would come back. She wasn’t sure she’d like the answer.

Later, she grilled Wesley about what he knew. He told her he was on a mission. It had to do with Michel and his men. Gifford volunteered to be the main person in charge.

It had been a while, and Chantel thought Gifford might be gone for several months. However, they met up in a quite embarrassing place and time.

In a five-star hotel in K Country

Several young firefighters appeared in the hall with a large, red canvas gear bag with five zippered pockets. Preceded by a waiter, the group entered the elevator one after another.

At the same time, another man walked into the elevator. He was wearing a green military outfit, and the patch on his shoulder made all the young men snap to attention and salute him.

After saluting them as well, the serviceman stood in the corner of the elevator, listening to the young men chatting with the waiter.

The waiter said, “An actress is stuck in the bathroom. The door’s jammed. We can’t break down the door ourselves, which is why we called you.” “Any idea who’s in there?”

“Yeah, it’s Chantel Ye!” the waiter replied.

Chantel was a huge star. Almost everyone knew who she was. Even if they weren’t that familiar with her work, she had been in multiple commercials, did the talk show circuit, and even made the tabloids. This group of young men certainly knew who she was. The dark-skinned captain looked at his subordinates with a smile and said, “Chantel Ye, huh? Okay, here’s the deal: I’m married, so I’m off the table. But you guys need a shot. Anyone who’s single? Line up here!”

If they weren’t in the elevator, some of them would have jumped up and down excitedly. “Wow! We’re lucky, huh? We get to meet Chantel in the flesh. Not only that, but she’s in the bathroom. I can’t wait!” one of them said.

Another man pulled him behind him and said, “You already have a girlfriend. I’m still single. Let me do the job.”

The third man pretended to be serious and said, “Stop arguing. Let me do this!”

The elevator stopped on the 14th floor. Before the people in the elevator could leave, the man in the corner had already made his way out. He waited for them outside the elevator

e room. When he closed the door, he saw Chantel walk out of the bathroom. Her wet long hair was wrapped in a towel and she wore a hotel robe.

Gifford straightened his sleeves and sat down on the sofa next to him. “Got any plans for tonight? I don’t know if I can top getting stuck in a bathroom, but I can try,” he quipped.

“Actually, I’m busy tonight,” she answered. She had to go to the Violet Eagles’ base.

Gifford thought for a while and said, “You sure? I haven’t seen you in a while. Why don’t you cancel your plans and come with me?” He was right. They hadn’t seen each other for quite a time. He was beginning to feel like a bachelor, the amount of time he spent alone.

“Okay, so what’s up?” Chantel looked at him in confusion.

Gifford was no longer the serious man when he was in front of outsiders. He sat cross-legged in his seat and answered her casually, “I haven’t seen you in forever. How about we spend a romantic night together?”

No one knew how hard he fought to keep the desire in his heart in check when he opened the bathroom door.

They were a couple, after all. There was no denying the attraction between them, especially after being separated for so long. Chantel’s chest tightened. She walked to the dressing table and pretended everything was normal. “What about you? Not busy today?”

“No, I’m not.” Gifford stood up from the sofa. “Go ahead and dry your hair. I’ll be back in ten minutes.”

There was someone waiting for him upstairs. He would head there first. Once that was taken care of, he’d be free to return and spend the night with her.

“Oh! Okay!”

After Gifford left, Chantel was the only one left in the room. She heaved a long sigh of relief.
