A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 646

Although Donovan’s tone was not as aggressive as before, he was clearly adamant about the application form. It seemed like he would not let her depart until she filled it in.

Arielle was caught between a rock and a hard place. She could not reject his offer without exposing herself. With a sigh, she reached out and took the application form.

“I’m glad you took my advice.” Donovan handed her a pen. “Once you’re done filling in the form, you can return to class.”

As he spoke, he rose to his feet and offered her his chair.

Donovan’s odd behavior went unnoticed by Arielle because she wanted to get the entire ordeal over as soon as possible. Swiftly, she took a seat and began to fill in the application form.

Donovan stood behind her and gazed down at the form in her hands.

“Leave these areas blank. Mr. Brown and I will fill it in. You should fill in the rest,” Donovan said as he leaned over her shoulder to point at the form.

Arielle merely nodded and continued to finish the application form.

Unconsciously, Donovan found his gaze falling upon Arielle.

Because he was standing, Donovan got a clear view of Arielle’s perfect side profile. A few strands of her hair fell across her cheek as she bent over the desk.

Furthermore, her neck was as pale as freshly fallen snow.

No matter how hard he tried, Donovan could not tear his eyes away from her.

Although Donovan did not keep up with the entertainment industry, he knew that most famous female celebrities often posted articles about having beautiful necks. It was a feature that many people found desirable.

Arielle’s neck was slim and poised like a graceful swan. When Donovan noticed her flawless skin, he had to resist the urge to run his fingers across it. Her neck must be the perfect embodiment of the feature that those celebrities like to praise.

The afternoon sun filtered through the windows and basked Arielle in its rays. At the same time, the strong light illuminated across Arielle’s head created an illusion of a golden halo around the crown of her head.

Arielle’s alluring beauty caused Donovan to gulp nervously.

All of a sudden, Arielle whirled around. “Mr. Baxter,” she called out.

In the midst of his panic, Donovan averted his gaze and

cleared his throat to mask his odd behavior.

“Mr. Baxter?” Arielle was unaware that Donovan had been staring at her. She only wanted to finish the form. “I’m done with it. Could you please take a look at it?”

We have too many misunderstandings between us. I can’t be bothered to explain them. Arielle felt herself growing restless the longer she remained cooped up in the room with Donovan.

“Okay.” Donovan refused to meet her eyes. Instead, he accepted the form without looking and said in a low voice, “You can leave now.”

Finally, Arielle could depart from his office.

Thud! His office door swung shut.

Immediately, Donovan clasped his hand over his chest as he tried to regain his composure. Yet, he could feel his pulse hammering frantically against his chest like a hummingbird.

What came over me? Do I have feelings for

In a daze, Donovan sat back down and dispelled his thoughts. But no matter how hard he tried to clear his mind, his thoughts kept drifting back to Arielle.

“F*ck!” Donovan hissed in frustration as he swept his arm across the table. Promptly, the objects on his desk clattered to the floor noisily.

Right then, his phone rang.

Donovan glanced at his phone and saw that his mother was calling him.

In an attempt to calm himself, Donovan took two deep breaths before he answered the call. “Mom,” he greeted.

“Donovan, you don’t have any lectures tomorrow, right? Why don’t you pay us a visit?”

“What’s the matter?”

His mother’s chuckle echoed over the phone. “One of my university friends contacted me the other day. She said that she has a daughter who is around your age. She’s worried that her daughter may not replace the right one to settle down with and lamented her worries to me. Did you know that her daughter is a famous doctor? Since you are a university lecturer, I thought that the two of you would be a great match, so I decided to invite her over. Donovan, you aren’t young anymore. Your dad and I long to have grandchildren.”
