Left for Dead Came Back for Everything novel Chapter 102

Julian looked down at the top of her head and her trembling shoulders.

A storm of unreadable emotions surged in his deep eyes.

His fingers twitched at his side, longing to reach out and tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear, but he forced himself to hold back.

"No rush," his voice softened considerably.

"Do you want me to drive you home?"

"No!" Eliza replied with frantic resistance.

"Please, you don't need to go through the trouble. We can take a cab. I've already caused you enough problems for one day..."

She was a total mess, and she didn't want to spend another second in this man's presence.

Julian stared at her in silence for a few seconds.

He let out a very soft sigh.

He knew her pride had already been shattered to pieces.

Pushing her right now would only make her feel worse.

"Alright. Get home safely." He didn't force the issue, turning around and walking toward his parked Maybach.

It wasn't until the sleek car disappeared down the street that Eliza finally felt she could breathe again.

However, before she could even process her relief, Miriam shoved her way into Eliza's face.

"Who was that handsome guy?"

Miriam grabbed Eliza's arm, her voice buzzing with frantic excitement.

"I don't know much about cars, but anyone can tell his suit and his ride cost a fortune. Is he your new man?"

Eliza felt a sharp ringing in her ears.

"He's just an old college acquaintance."
