I had thought his obsessive behavior was only directed at Eleanor, but now, was even a bystander like me not safe?
As a mere extra, how could I possibly contend with a corporate titan? I decided to play for time.
"Nothing, I mean... Eleanor has been away for so long, if you don't go looking for her, she might just end up with... Zack Morris..."
In this novel, Zack is a once-in-a-millennium devoted lover. Not just willing to shelter Eleanor, but even if she was pregnant with Clayton's child and ousted by a rival, he'd eagerly step in.
Clayton had always viewed Zack as a romantic rival, usually flying off the handle just at the mention of him.
Once this hothead left, I'd swiftly move my stuff and never see him again.
However, Clayton showed no signs of leaving, instead, he intensely furrowed his brows and fixed his stare on me, "Did you get Zack to take Eleanor away, to draw me here on purpose?"
I was again rendered speechless.
I couldn't fathom what special material Clayton's brain was made of, vigorously shaking my head, "Absolutely not, you can ask Eleanor yourself when you find her."
Just find her already, stop wasting time here!
