No Escape from Love novel Chapter 79

Alex stood across from me, taking in my disheveled state. He suddenly burst into laughter.

My already flushed face turned an even deeper shade of red. I wanted to dig a hole in the ground and disappear.

He stepped forward, took the suitcase from my hand, and placed it into the trunk. Then, one by one, he removed all the bags I was carrying and stuffed them into the car.

Meanwhile, I was teetering on the edge of a mental breakdown.

"You're quite strong for someone your size." That was the first comment he gave me.

"It seems you've built up quite the collection over four years in university." That was the second comment he made.

Although they were just casual words, they hit me hard.

I sat dazed in the passenger seat, desperately wracking my brain for something—anything—I could do to salvage my image.

"When I drop you off, can you manage to get everything upstairs on your own?" Alex asked suddenly. "I have a meeting to attend later."

I was relieved to hear that and quickly waved my hands. "No problem! I'll handle it myself."

After all, there was an elevator.

The car stopped in the underground garage. Alex helped me move everything to the elevator entrance before turning to leave.

The sound of his car engine faded as it exited the garage, and I waited for the elevator to come down from the 23rd floor.

As the elevator neared the basement level, I grabbed one of my suitcases, ready to start loading my things as soon as the doors opened.

The elevator doors slid open, revealing three men wearing masks and hats. Their sharp, cold gazes locked onto me.
