Novel & Cerita You Had My Curiosity Now Attention

Dominic had built this. I kept moving. I was aware, with the particular peripheral awareness of someone who has spent their life reading rooms and crowds and the small signals that tell you when attention has shifted your direction, that I had become interesting to people. Not everyone. But enough. Glances from tables. Whispers that stopped just short of the distance where I could have made out words. A group of women near the far wall who were not bothering to be subtle about it at all, watching me with the assessing eyes of people trying to calculate what category I belonged to and finding that none of their existing categories quite fit. I did not want to be a curiosity tonight.

It’s unmistakably Lucien’s playing, his skilled fingers effortlessly coaxing enchanting notes from the keys. Curiosity takes hold of me, and I quickly dress myself, eager to see for myself who is responsible for the captivating performance. As I make my way out of the room, lost in anticipation, I unexpectedly stumble into Adam, who stands there as if he’s been waiting all along. A pang of suspicion flickers within me. Has he been spying on me? I wonder silently, trying to maintain a casual demeanor as I attempt to stroll past him.

She stood her ground, her eyes locked on mine, a spark of curiosity flickering within their depths. The air between us seemed to vibrate with tension as I stood mere inches from her, my proximity a deliberate invasion of her personal space. The faint, familiar haze crept back into my mind, but I swiftly pushed it aside, refusing to let it gain traction. Haven's voice cut through my mental fog, her tone deceptively innocent. "Are you fond of me?" she asked, her eyes sparkling with a hint of mischief.

Hesitantly, I called out Madison's name. However, that long neck and strange head showed no reaction whatsoever. I shifted my gaze to Evan, who was beside Madison. A wet patch had spread beneath him, and he had already fainted from the shock. The eerie silence stretched on for what felt like an eternity before someone nervously spoke up.

Collins looked at me with the quality of attention he gave to things that interested him — full and without the performance of interest, which made it feel like its own form of currency. "How long have you known that's what they actually want?" he asked. "Since the second call." I picked my fork back up. "They mention termination clauses twice every meeting. Nobody mentions something twice if they're not worried about it." Something moved through his expression. I could not have named it exactly. It was not admiration in any obvious sense — it was something quieter than that, something that lived in the same register as the look he had given me the first time I had spoken to the Chinese inve

....EMERALD'S POV...... *BELL RINGS* " snap out of it!" Katty snaps a finger in front of my face and i jerk up from my seat "What!" I glare at her, not sure why but i just do "You dozed off, do you know him from somewhere?" She tisks her lips together " no, totally not!" I blink it and stand up when i notice all attention was on me , Why was i staring at the new guy that way?.

he asked, his voice taking on a seductive tenor. "Oh, everything," I joked, flirtatiously. "The more I try to understand you, the more you baffle me, like a tantalizing enigma." His complete focus was now mine, his slim body approaching me, his eyes mesmerizing me in their depths. I strained to maintain eye contact, determined to appear tough despite the flood of emotions coursing through me. "Why this sudden curiosity?" he inquired, his husky voice tinged with mistrust. I allowed a note of sensuality to overlay my words as I drew closer, "Perhaps I've finally realized your desire for my attention. Are you not glad that I've developed an interest in you?"

Either way, the idea of being unstoppable felt fa from where I was now. “Why do you sound interested?” He chuckled, his eyes sparkled with amusement. “Curiosity, mostly. And well, I have always been drawn to things that are out of the ordinary. People like you don’t just show up every day.” His words made my stomach flutter, though I couldn’t tell if it was from flattery or nerves. “I appreciate your help” I said cautiously, “But I am still not sure why you’re doing this.” He stopped walking and turned to face me. His expression looked more serious now.

I lower my foot slowly, not stepping forward, just… resting it back where it was. The moment I do— The “path” flickers. Just slightly. Enough to prove something. “Okay,” I mutter. “I hate that.” “Good,” he says. “That means you’re paying attention.” “I was already paying attention.” “Now you’re cautious.” “I was already cautious.” “You were curious.” That— That’s accurate. And I don’t like being that easy to read. I cross my arms, more to ground myself than anything else. “So what now?” I ask.

I tap him on the arm. "Silly!" I can almost hear the music. Come with me, and you will be In a world of pure imagination Take a look, and you'll see Into your imagination We will begin with a spin Traveling in the world of my creation What we'll see will defy Explanation “Do you notice some big difference, hazelnut?” I look at everything again. Everything I'd seen many times before, but never lit me up as much as it does now. Curiosity is splendid! It took man to the moon and me into this room, wanting to be tied up by the man I'm in love with.
