Revenge 166
Mayra quickly sensed a burning tension in the air which was more intense than the lingering scent of Hailey’s perfume, Gordon’s bad mood was unexpected.
Hearing him mention Gordon, Mayra’s expression changed.
She nervously clutched the sides of her clothes and looked away in a panic.” Why are you bringing him up all of a sudden? Didn’t you say I shouldn’t see him anymore? I didn’t meet him…”
Anderson stepped in front of her. His all–seeing gaze left Mayra with nowhere to hide. “Since you were a child, when have your lies ever fooled me?”
Mayra was a compulsive liar, but she could never deceive Anderson.
She touched her nose and said, “We just ran into each other on the street, but I
didn’t talk to him.”
“Mayra, you can do whatever you want. I won’t stop you…”
Mayra mischievously covered her ears with her hands and argued, “Can you stop controlling me all the time? I’m not a three–year–old child anymore. Don’t always be like this, Andy!”
She then added, “You told me not to see Gordon, and I listened. What more do you want from me? You clearly know that I like Gordon, so stop bringing him up in front of me! I really didn’t go look for him. We just bumped into each
other on the street.”
“You like Gordon? Do you not like me anymore?” Anderson’s tone was deep, and his eyes were frosty.
“I like you as a brother. You and Gordon are different.”
Anderson repeated the question. If the first time was a test, what about the
second time?
Meeting Anderson’s eyes, Mayra calmed down. She realized that she had
misspoken.
What she least wanted to see and what she feared most was Anderson looking at her with those eyes. Anderson was a domineering person. No matter what
