Waiting For a Girl Like You - Chapter 1104 Extra Story (Part Two)
Adonis was already waiting for her in the car.
The two immediately drove off and after a few minutes, they arrived at their destination. Everything was already prepared by the staff at the studio.
Selina then quickly went to work. First, she skillfully helped Adonis tidy up his look, although he already looked dashing. With an impeccable skin, he didn’t need any kind of make up at all and so Selina focused on making sure that his clothes were a perfect fit on him and his hair was in place. ‘Everything for a perfect picture!’ she thought.
Selina had come with him to help several times before, because every time he went out, Selina would stick with him. Adonis had no choice but let her be. Besides, it would be more convenient for him to have a girl assist him with his appearance.
Although it seemed like Selina’s past time was to cause him trouble, she had been committed to every promise she had to him. That was the reason why she would always come with him on trips like these no matter the circumstance.
“Can you hurry up?” Adonis whispered impatiently.
They had been in the dressing room for quite a while now and Selina was still not finished with whatever she was doing to him.
“Shut up,” Selina replied, her voice with the faintest trace of irritation. “I just have to do something to your hair and we’re done!”
The way they were positioned was hindering her from doing what she wanted and so she pulled Adonis’ chair closer to her, grabbed his head, and leaned in.
The sudden act caught Adonis by surprise, causing him to look up. Just as he did, his cold lips grazed on the soft skin of Selina’s chin.
He felt shivers run down his spine the moment he realize what happened.
Selina was also surprised. Slowly, she lowered her head and looked Adonis in the eye. Suddenly, she gave him a peck on the lips and said, “Kissing me won’t speed up the process, you dummy. Just sit still. I’m almost finished!”
“…”
Astonishment and panic quickly became evident in Adonis’ face. Soon, it became obvious that he was trying to calm himself down but was failing.
“…”
The next moment, Selina found herself being pushed away by Adonis. He then made his way towards the door and out of the dressing room without uttering a word.
A few hours had past and finally, the interview had ended.
With a grim face, Adonis strode out of the studio in silence.
“Hey! What’s wrong?”
Selina called out as she quickly packed all of their stuff. At that time, Adonis was almost out the door and so she broke into a run to catch up with him. She was about to pull his arm to tell him to wait for her when he turned around.
Since Selina did not anticipate that, she failed to r
Selina’s ears couldn’t believe what they were hearing. Once again, she was stunned, and all she could do was stand frozen on the spot she was standing on.
“Selina, your father is right. People should know their own value before they decide to be with somebody else.”
Adonis then turned to the window and looked out to the cold moon shining brightly.
“I didn’t tell you all of these things before because I thought you were still young. I didn’t want to hurt your feelings. But now that you have grown up, you should have started to be more self-aware! But you haven’t. It seems like you don’t care.”
Selina’s shoulders were already trembling. Indeed, no one had ever said such hurtful words to her.
However, she was aware of all of these things. She didn’t need Adonis to confront her about them. It was her defense mechanism. Her character was like a hard shell she had made for herself so that no one could see her feeling inferior or weak.
“Adonis,” she said, tears already forming in her eyes. “Is this some kind of a sick joke? Are you just messing with me? You don’t mean anything you said, right?”
Her eyes were full of pleading. Deep inside her, she was praying that he would stop trying to hurt her, because she could only take so much.
“Selina, in this world, no one outside should tolerate or accommodate you like this. No one should be given such responsibility and obligation.
I hope you figure this out on your own. I’m not Uncle Steven, nor… your biological brother. I am not, and will never be, your boyfriend. Whatever happened, I’ll just chalk up to you being young and stupid. I hope you understand.”
As soon as she heard those words, Selina’s heart broke into a million pieces.
She felt like air was being sucked out of her lungs and it made her step back. Unknowingly, she knocked the table behind her, causing it to topple over and create a loud banging noise.
