Chapter 764
An ear-piercing sound of brakes could be heard.
The inertia brought about by the emergency stop of the sports car had also caused the defenceless Elizabeth to be severely strangled by the safety belt. She fell down and sat back on her seat again.
"What are you doing? Do you want to die!?" Elizabeth immediately glared at the man beside her in anger.
Because he was prepared to brake, he didn't look like he was in a sorry state. His deep eyes were staring straight at her small, angry face.
Following that, he stretched out his big hands from the steering wheel towards her, using his long fingers to pinch Elizabeth Jones's small, snow-white chin and twitching it left and right, as though it would make it easier for him to size her up.
Elizabeth was shocked by his strange movements. The man's finger was very warm, touching her soft and tender skin.
That kind of warmth was instantly transmitted to Elizabeth's heart, causing her breathing to lose rhythm, and her heart to beat faster.
Richard did not speak, his pair of sharp and dark eyes continued to size her up.
"What are you doing?" Elizabeth was frightened by his gaze. Why did this man look like she was choosing his own pet?
She was a living person and she didn't want to become his pet.
"Hmm, although it looks average, it's not too bad!" After looking around, Richard came to a conclusion.
Elizabeth held her breath tight.
Because of what he had just said, she almost choked to death on her own saliva.
What did the man mean by that?
She was not bad looking in the first place.
"If you are a little more obedient, I can consider you!" Richard raised his brows coldly, and a clear and melodious male voice rang out right after.
"Think about what?" Elizabeth was confused by his words.
Once again, Richard Hughes's gaze locked onto her. Because the light was weak, her pair of sparkling eyes became clearer, causing her entire person to be covered in a layer of faint light.
"I'll consider letting you be my real girlfriend!" Richard replied plainly and directly.
"What?" Elizabeth's beautiful eyes widened as she looked at him in disbelief, "Is what you said true?"
Richard plainly curled his lips, "That depends on whether or not you're qualified enough to be my girlfriend."
Elizabeth was ecstatic, because his words were like a bucket of cold water being poured over him.
"Do you have to go through strict selection to be your girlfriend?" If it really was like this, then she really didn't need to look forward to anything else. Elizabeth's concept of love, was a mutual love, and it wasn't because she liked a person, that she had to work hard to become the kind of person she wanted.
She didn't change for anyone. She was her, a completely different type of person.
Richard said with a slightly cold tone, "I like obedient girlfriends."
"I'm not a pet dog, how can I listen to you?" Elizabeth laughed. As expected, this man had a lot of demands, if that was the case, then what was the point of dating him?
Richard did not expect this woman to have such a character, who said that she wanted to pursue him just now?
Wasn't the one who fell in love first losing first?
Richard wanted to reveal his sense of superiority, but he quickly realized that Elizabeth would never compromise whatever he wanted just because she liked him.
"In that case, forget it!" Richard coldly swept his eyes at her and once again activated the sports car.
Elizabeth was extremely depressed.
Did this man think she was a plaything?
As the sportscar continued to drive forward, Richard was slightly distracted, he kept waiting for the lady's answer. However, Elizabeth who was sitting in the front seat was mute, she did not say a single word.
Richard frowned, was this woman really going to let things go this way?
Elizabeth's heart was filled with mixed emotions, she could not hide her feelings, but she was not willing to lose herself.
When they were almost at the center of the city, Elizabeth finally opened her mouth and said something.
"Take me to your place to pack up. Since you don't need me to act out with you, I'll move back to my own residence tonight. I won't disturb you any longer."
What Richard wanted to hear, was not these….
"Are you sure you want to leave tonight?" Richard indifferently swept his gaze over her.
"Yes!"
"Aren't you afraid that I wouldn't pay you?" Seeing her determined tone, Richard purposely teased her a little.
Elizabeth's beautiful eyes instantly widened in shock, and following that, anger stained her beautiful
little face, "Richard Hughes, how can you not keep your promise?" © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
"Unless you agree to continue being my girlfriend in name. Our previous agreement stated that we would meet for three months, but it's not time yet. So, you can't leave." Richard always had a way to deal with this woman, because he felt that she would sometimes be stupid and easy to bully.
Strange, why did he feel like he was addicted to bullying her?
Elizabeth lowered her head. Indeed, three months had not passed since the contract was signed. If she knew that this matter would end so soon, she wouldn't have signed it for such a long time.
"You've already confessed to your big brother, what do you need me to act along with you?" Elizabeth laughed.
Richard looked at her, and said indifferently, "As a star, I have to maintain my good image. If I dumped you so quickly, I would have definitely been scolded very badly, saying that I have an unruly relationship. So, you do not need to play in front of my family, but you need to cooperate with me by acting the part of my girlfriend in front of the media."
"After three months, you can't force me to do this anymore." After signing the contract, Elizabeth couldn't reject it. However, once the time period was up, she really didn't want to continue acting with him.
She was afraid that she would become more serious, Elizabeth was truly afraid that she would sink deeper into the abyss.
Richard curled his lips, and did not give her a definite answer. Because, he believed that in these three
months, he had countless of ways to make this woman fall in love with him.
"You must promise me." Elizabeth didn't want him to be confused, which was why she firmly wanted him to promise her.
Richard raised his eyebrows lazily, as he placed one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the window seat. His voice was not hot nor cold, "Alright, I promise you!"
He could only agree to this woman temporarily. Only by doing so, would he be able to stop her endless words.
Elizabeth secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Since Richard had agreed to it, then in three months time, she would be able to take the money and leave this man.
In the future, she could still worship him as her idol. To be his woman and wife was something she didn't even dare to think about.
