Realizing she had zoned out, Ashlyn Paige couldn't help but scold herself internally. 'Ashlyn Paige, oh, Ashlyn Paige, how can you be so pathetic? He just smiled, and you're already in a daze? You can't let this Smiling Tiger lead you by the nose anymore. Ashlyn, get a grip. Don't let that Smiling Tiger tempt you again.'
After giving herself a silent warning, Ashlyn Paige gradually calmed down. She turned to leave.
Seeing her about to leave, the smile on Felix Vaughn's lips vanished. He strode in front of her, blocking her path. "Angry? Hmm?"
He drew out the final sound, his tone laced with a hint of affection.
Ashlyn Paige remained silent, her expression cold. She turned her head, refusing to even look at Felix Vaughn.
'She wasn't angry. Not one bit. What was there to be angry about?'
'Damn it all!' she cursed in her heart, unable to hold it in any longer. So much for self-control.
