Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 325: Eye Contact

While waiting for her reply, his heart grew colder bit by bit.

He tried hard to rationalize, after all, it was an overseas number, and she didn’t know who sent it to her.

So... not replying was quite normal.

Yet he couldn’t help but hope.

Just when he was about to give up, Selena Kensington replied with a ’thank you’.

Even though it was just a simple and polite phrase, it was enough to make Alessio happy for the whole day.

He repeatedly looked at the phone and stared at that message, fixating on those two words as if he could see Selena through them.

During the Gorgeous Award ceremony, he locked himself in his room specifically to watch the live broadcast online.

He saw her glowing appearance, he saw her winning two trophies.

He also saw her... flaunting her lover.

He wanted to be there in person, to congratulate and celebrate with her...

But he couldn’t, he had not even given her the gift he had prepared for so long.

Would she be angry because of this?

Alessio thought, even if she were angry, he would be filled with joy.

Because she would be moved because of him.

If those men in black were here, they would definitely notice.

The Young Master they knew, with his iron-fisted tactics and ambitious nature, seemed like a young boy at this moment, timid in his actions yet unable to stop glancing across.

It was as if he was suppressing himself from thinking and acting, but his body’s instincts still made him look out.

And at this moment, standing originally by the window, absent-mindedly looking down, Selena Kensington suddenly felt someone standing across.

She lifted her eyes slightly and saw the person in the room on the third floor opposite.

He noticed her gaze too, his expression momentarily flustered.

He seemed instinctively to want to hide, but then realized something and stopped.

Yet his eyes never dared to meet Selena’s directly.

Selena was somewhat puzzled.

Did the person across know her?

But the third floor seemed to only house members of the Colombo Family.

But she didn’t know anyone from the Colombo Family.

Seeing his face masked, she could only vaguely see a pair of eyes, thin lips, and a pointed chin.

She was sure she didn’t know anyone from the Colombo Family, yet his figure gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

She wanted to look more closely, but found that he had already left the window.

Selena naturally didn’t know that her inquisitive gaze made Alessio feel ablaze all over.

The hidden, invisible feelings buried deep inside seemed to be on the brink of bursting out.

He struggled to hold himself back, not wanting to lose composure in front of her, and retreated.

Selena returned to Sterling Norwood’s side.

"I’m going to the bathroom."

She picked up her small purse.

"...To touch up your makeup?"

Sterling paused for a moment and asked.

Selena raised her brows slightly, somewhat surprised, "Impressive, hubby, you’ve made so much progress these few days."

"...Let Hughes’ people accompany you."

Sterling had no choice; these days, watching her frequently go to the bathroom, he thought she had an upset stomach, but she told him she was just going to touch up her makeup.

Selena shook her head, "The bathroom is just a few meters away, besides, it’d be strange for a big man to follow me!"

When they just arrived, they passed by the bathroom.

Sterling thought for a moment, deciding that even if something happened, they could quickly get there, so he nodded, "Alright, be safe. If anything happens, just call me."
