chapter1134

Alaric nonchalantly plopped down between them. He scanned Hertha with his mischievous, almond-

shaped eyes, "That's a line I should be telling you. Still not over me yet?"

Hertha was immediately stirred at his jab; she rolled her eyes, "Oh, please. Don't flatter yourself. You're

no Hollywood heartthrob. Do you really think I'd go out of my way to chase you?"

It was absurd that Alaric thought she had come to the bar chasing after him. Sure, there was a time

when she had been somewhat asking about him and scouring her contacts to 'accidentally' bump into

him, tailing him like some love-struck fool.

But ever since that fiasco on the golf course, when she accidentally hit him with a ball and he scolded

her with such harsh words, she took a stand. She was done with him, resolved to move on and set her

sights elsewhere.

She had no idea why she could meet him whenever she went. She really didn’t follow his trail for these

times.

"So what you're saying is you've got a crush on some new starlet?" Alaric's narrow eyes flicked towards

Hertha. The light in his eye went dim, a shift even he didn't notice.

"Not just any starlet. The new heartthrob Dominic has a look that hit me right in the feels. Every time I

see him, my heart just goes wild, racing like there's no tomorrow. If I could get a lead on his

whereabouts, I'd spare no expense," Hertha gushed, her arms hugging herself as she daydreamed

with the giddiness of a smitten girl.

Back when she fell for Alaric, it was love at first sight, and she dove headfirst into a relentless pursuit.
