Chapter 576 Take Him Out
Chapter 576 Take Him Out
It was Laney's first time to be in a relationship, and Greg definitely took the lead, while she passively catered to his requests. Perhaps it was because she didn't really have romantic feelings for Greg that she didn't find it as sweet as it should have been.
One weekend, Greg invited her to a popular cafe. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Greg happily ordered some delicious-looking brownies and colorful macaroons.
Laney liked healthy foods with low sugar content over sweets, so she only took a few bites out of politeness.
Greg, on the other hand, seemed to be quite the sweet tooth. He enthusiastically snapped some photos of the Instagram-worthy desserts before munching on them.
While Greg ate, Laney absentmindedly looked out the window and watched as couples passed by, hand in hand. They all seemed very happy together.
It wasn't until Greg waved his hand in front of her that she came to her senses.
"Laney, there's something I wanted to ask. How about I move in with you? I mean, I just think it'd be wonderful to come home to you after work," Greg suddenly suggested.
"Okay," Laney answered flatly. Since they were in a relationship now, she didn't find it too big of a deal to start living in together.
The following day, Greg moved his stuff to her place.
Greg was a good boyfriend in all aspects, but sometimes, Laney couldn't help but feel that he was too clingy. He would follow her everywhere and even accompany her to work. She couldn't catch a break.
"Don't you need to go to work?" Laney looked at Greg, who was following her to work, with a hint of impatience.
Greg scratched his head awkwardly. "I'll go to work after I drop you off. Don't worry about me. I work flexible hours."
Laney crossed her arms over her chest and narrowed her eyes at him. She had noticed that Greg seemed to be observing something just now.
Ever since he moved in, he had never done anything that would make her feel uncomfortable. As a result, they didn't look like a couple at all. The most intimate thing they had ever done so far was to hold hands.
Greg had told her that he had a business, but Laney didn't think he looked like a businessman. He had always been wary of his surroundings everywhere they went.
"What were you looking at just now? Is someone following us?" Perhaps it was because of the nature of Laney's work that she was sensitive when it came to things like this.
Greg broke into a wide grin. "Cars. We were crossing the road just now." Then he reached out and stroked her hair gently. "You seem suspicious of me. I'm your boyfriend. Don't you trust me?" *******
A few days later, Laney was watching a movie with Greg at home when they suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Have you ordered takeout?" Laney asked, standing up to open the door. "No? Who would visit us at this time then?"
However, as soon as the door was opened, a group of armed men rushed in.
"What the hell are you doing?" Laney was on guard in an instant.
"Where is that bastard? Fuck! Greg's been hiding in a woman's house?!" One of the men said loudly, "Greg has offended our boss and we've been ordered to take him out!"
Greg was so frightened that he threw the remote control in his hand away and hid behind Laney, shouting, "Laney, you have to protect me!"
