My Bestie's Uncle Craves Me의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 6

Emma's POV:I spotted them through the glass window of Starbucks—him and some blonde, sitting cozily by the window with a perfect view of the street. They were the only customers in the otherwise empty Tuesday afternoon café. That cheating bastard.I burst through the glass door with one mission: catch him red-handed. The cool air-conditioning hit my face as I marched straight toward his table, grabbed his steaming coffee mug, and flung the contents straight at his face. To my surprise, he moved with shocking speed, dodging backward as the hot liquid splashed onto the empty chair beside him."What the—" he started, his voice deep and controlled despite the sudden attack.I didn't let him finish. My fist was already flying toward his face, but he caught my wrist mid-air with reflexes that shouldn't belong to a regular Wall Street type."Who the fuck are you?" he demanded, his grip firm but not painful.I twisted out of his hold and aimed a kick at his groin.

Inside, my grandparents were lounging on the living room sofa, absorbed in what looked like a History Channel documentary."Coast is clear," I whispered to Alexander, who was standing behind me with his sleeves already rolled up. "Let's go."We approached the sturdy drainpipe that ran up the side of the house to the second floor.I grabbed onto the pipe and started scaling it with practiced ease. When I reached the midway point, I glanced down to see Alexander following, his movements surprisingly agile for a corporate CEO in dress pants.Soon we were both pulling ourselves onto the second-floor balcony outside my bedroom. I slid open the glass door that I always left unlocked."That was quite the entrance," Alexander commented as we stepped into my bedroom."What can I say? I like to keep things interesting." I grinned, closing the balcony door behind us. "It's my standard route when I don't want to deal with the t
