one step away [Interstellar]

61.

As early as the evening of the second day after the party, the busy Emily returned to San Lorenzo, ending her business trip this time.But Xia Zuo, who accompanied her, did not leave. For her own reasons, she chose to stay in Haisong for a while.

She changed her current address to the Blue Hotel on Sea Pines Shores, between Heber's home and studio.This is not San Lorenzo, and almost no one knows them.Xia Zuo didn't need to consider all other unnecessary factors, such as the gaze of the outside world, or the ethical issues left over from Heber's previous marriage.She is just an alpha now, just very pure, very pure wanting to be close to the person she likes.

She can express closeness to Heber, and even pursue her,

This pursuit seems to have no effect on Heber at this time, and it is also dispensable.Therefore, Xia Zuo went on frequent dates with He Bo with a heart of being rejected, and they even visited all the interesting places in Haisong City in just one week.But neither the slightly ambiguous date nor the almost straightforward pursuit failed to impress Heber.

In her eyes, Xia Zuo seemed to be just a friend she hadn't seen for a long time.

But she didn't have an attitude of rejection, which made Xia Zuo yearn for him, so gradually, gradually, the proud and reserved young man stopped expressing his heart, and just simply went on his own journey of pursuit.

"You really don't want to come in and sit for a while?" Once again after the dinner was over and Xia Zuo sent him to the door, He Bo looked at the young man in front of him and asked with a half-smile.

"No... I'll pick you up tomorrow." Before getting a proper response, Xia Zuo didn't intend to bother Heber, let alone that she shouldn't have broken into Heber's house at such a late hour.

"Tomorrow...don't come here." Heber said so, carefully watching the reaction on that person's face.

"Huh?" Xia Zuo, who suddenly couldn't react, looked at He Bo in a daze, with a bit of disappointment in his eyes, "I just..."

Her unexplained panic made her look like a puppy who would be abandoned at any time, Heber softened his tone, "There is a celebration in the company tomorrow, and it will probably be very late on Heiligen's side. to come back."

"I can send you there, plus pick you up, to ensure safety." She answered quickly, fearing that Heber would refuse, and said without a doubt.

A smile flashed in Heber's eyes, he looked at her and said, "Okay...then you can dress a little more formally tomorrow."

This will make it easier for you to go in.

"Yes." The lovely Duke laughed, his eyes bent into crescents.The night wind of early summer blew past, and gently patted some dry and hot breath on the face.Heber felt her cheeks burning slightly, smiled, and said, "Then I'll go in first." She said so, then turned around, raised her hand to cover half of her face, and walked home quickly.

"Well, good night, Hebe." The young man standing beside the car watched her back melt into the ambiguous light, and waved while standing still.

Good night, Xia Zuo.

The thought-provoking woman came back home stepping on her high heels, and turned on the lights in every place in the house.The young man standing downstairs felt relieved when he saw that the whole house was as bright as day, and drove away quietly in the car.

Upstairs, the woman standing behind the curtain watched the headlights go away. It took a long time for her to kick off her high heels and sit on the sofa with her knees hugged.Those bright red eyes were a little dim, and after a long time, the woman smiled lightly, revealing a smile that seemed joyful and self-deprecating.

Ah, actually, isn't it good?

According to the agreed time, Xia Zuo parked the car in the floating car parking lot on the roof, and not long after, he saw the exquisitely made-up Heber walking towards her with a big bag.According to what Heber said, Xia Zuo dressed very formally today.

Formal enough to not look rude no matter the occasion.He Bo, who thought that the other party didn't understand what he said, retracted his fingers slightly, squeezed the bag in his hand, and his red eyes dimmed slightly.

"Are you going to go? Or should we go eat something first?" The alpha who has nothing to do now is either surrounded by the beauty, or is thinking about what to eat every day. The person who has nothing to worry about gets out of the car and takes He Bai took the things in his hand and easily threw them on the back seat of the car.

Heber's gaze stayed on the bag for a moment, then he shifted his gaze to Xia Zuo's face, and smiled easily, "No need, let's go there first."

She used us, which made Xia Zuo secretly happy.

The simple alpha led her into the car, closed the door, and drove her to the destination very faithfully.Then she acted as a dance partner, and when Hebe walked arm in arm into their company's celebration hall, she realized why Hebe wanted her to dress more formally.

How should I put it, it feels...not bad.

Apart from being surrounded by a group of people and asking questions, the young duke was extremely happy.

"So, are you the little sister that Sang hides?" The young duke who didn't show his face looked very immature, and her formal attire made her mature and stable beyond her age.

She looked only about seventeen or eighteen years old. There was absolutely no possibility of such a young man having that kind of relationship with the successful Miss Sang.Some of them even suspected that this female alpha was still a child, maybe still a minor.

"You're drinking Montreal, are you sure you want some juice? Sang, can she drink?" Even though they looked right when they appeared on stage, given Xia Zuo's deceptive appearance, the girl who was about her age They flirt unconsciously.

Xia Zuo, who was in the crowd, was sitting upright with a plate of seafood, watching the women around him raise their heads helplessly, and glanced at Heber, who had nothing to do with him, with a little helplessness in his eyes.

He Bo smiled, took a glass of wine from the waiter's tray, put it in front of Xia Zuo, and said calmly, "Drink." Her tone was gentle, with a smile in her eyes, as if she was coaxing a child .

Xia Zuo could only smile lightly, took the glass of wine she put beside her, drank it down in one gulp, and then said to the women around him in a very gentlemanly manner. "Dear ladies, I thought I'd tell you the fact that I'm many years past the Prohibition age, and I'm older than San." Of course, that last sentence is nonsense.

To be honest, if she could, she would say that she was pursuing Heber.

The ladies around showed surprised expressions, and then expressed their disbelief one after another.In this regard, Xia Zuo, who had no way to prove it, had no choice but to accept the ladies' ridicule with a calm face.Heber, who was originally with them, got involved in the company's high-level talks after talking with them.

Xia Zuo looked at it for a while, and found that Heber was indeed busy with something, so he got up, left this noisy place, and went to the bathroom at the end of the corridor to solve some of his physical problems.

Pushing open the door of the noisy banquet hall, Xia Zuo stepped into the silent corridor.The gentle steps slowed down intentionally or unintentionally, and lightly stepped on the smooth floor, making a crisp sound.A few lines of sight floated behind her, vaguely drawing Xia Zuo's sight.Xia Zuo, who had noticed that she was being targeted as early as in the banquet hall, kept her original pace and walked along the corridor to the bathroom. The moment she opened the door, a pitch-black laser gun was aimed at her forehead.

At this moment, several people who followed her came to the door of the bathroom, raised their laser guns together, and aimed at every vital point on Xia Zuo's body.

"Don't move! Put your hands up!" A very rough male voice sounded behind Xia Zuo, and the forceful order was unquestionable. It seemed that as long as Xia Zuo dared to move, his head would be burned off by the laser gun in his hand.

Ah, besieged on all sides, it seems that I can't escape.

While thinking about how her whereabouts were discovered, she checked the personnel one by one, and raised her hand obediently, allowing the person holding her to twist her arm and handcuff her.

The moment Xia Zuo's wrist was locked by the fragile shackles, Xia Zuo's expression became a little subtle.

It turned out not to be an enhanced version of the tenacity, but this kind of handcuffs for ordinary people. Don't this group of people know who she is?

Thinking of this, the masked robber grabbed a black cloth and blocked Xia Zuo's sight all at once.The eyes were dim, and the burly young man who was not as tall as her held her arms from left to right, and carried her out of the bathroom.

Xia Zuo, who was suppressed and unable to solve his physical problems, frowned, and when he was quickly dragged away by them, he asked softly, "Can I ask why?"

Ah, this is probably the calmest victim this group of robbers have ever met. Looking at her immature face, the talkative robber replied, "Miss of the Lance family, you don't know The reason, of course, is because of that rich mother."

Lance... Emily Lance's Lance.If so, she can understand.After all, Emily really has a younger sister who is the same age as her, and both are alphas.

So she was, misunderstood.But who disclosed this news?Who instigated this matter?

As she thought about it, hearing the sound of footsteps becoming more empty and lonely, she judged that they had come to the suspension car parking lot on the middle floor.After being pushed and shoved, Xia Zuo got into the car and was held hostage by people from left to right.So he chuckled, flipped his wrists, and broke free of the shackles that bound his hands in an instant. Before the two people around him could react, he thrust his elbows hard and slammed into their fragile temples.

"Hmph!" The men who were caught off guard were lying on their sides, with twinkling stars all over their heads.The nimble Xia Zuo knocked open the alpha on the left, grabbed the laser gun in his hand, held the weapon left and right, opened the car door with a bang, lifted the black cloth covering his eyes, and looked around with Pointing the gun at his own robbers, he said, "Sorry, I think you may have identified the wrong person. I am not the one you can hijack."

Before she finished speaking, a powerful pheromone belonging to alpha surged out of her body, causing the betas around her to tremble.They were trembling, looking at the alpha who was surrounded by the extremely powerful at the moment, they couldn't think of a resistance.

At this moment, in the meeting place on the top floor, Heber stood beside his boss, looking at the extremely sexy female alpha in a long black dress, frowning slightly.

"Long time no see, Hebe." Just across from her, Maureen with her long brown hair coiled up, half-closed her gray-green eyes, like a poisonous snake hiding deep in the darkness, revealing a cold message.

It’s been a long time since I saw this, but it’s really not in Heber’s expectation at all.
