Chapter 12 Silly Girl
Mrs. Lauren questioned as she saw how they interacted.
“With what identity that you asked this question? As Scarlett’s mother? Obviously, you are not qualified. Neither did you give birth to her, nor raising her up with affection.” Mike was lazy in the voice, but sharp and full of sarcasm in words.
“I take her as my daughter,” Mrs. Lauren answered awkwardly.
“No one will pimp her daughter like that, trying to replace her eldest daughter with the younger one. That’s the end of our conversation.”
Mrs. Lauren put on a sullen face hearing what Mike had said.
Mike hugged Scarlett and left, taking no care of what expression Mrs. Lauren had worn.
“You are too skinny. No dieting anymore!” Mike thought, “She looks better gaining a little weight.”
Scarlett didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He knew clearly that she never went on a diet.
“Scarlett!” Mrs. Lauren called her from behind.
She had tried! But Mike was in a bad mood today.
“Eyes on me. You’ll know what you are facing if you lose weight again.” Mike forced her to turn around and stopped her communication with Mrs. Lauren.
“Go home tomorrow. Your dad needs to talk to you!” Mrs. Lauren continued.
Being hugged in his arms all along, Scarlett was embarrassed. She tried to get Mike to let go of her, but he just turned his ear deaf.
She tried to break away from him, only to have him tighten his arms.
He closed the door after they walked into Mr. Abraham’s office. And then he pushed her to the sofa before he picked up the phone on the desk and placed the order.
Sitting on the sofa, Scarlett sneaky looked to the door and thought, “If I run away now, will he be able to catch me?”
After he finished the phone call, he put on the long face again, pretending not to care about her but looking over the documents.
Assuming that Mike was in a bad mood, Scarlett wondered if she should leave. Otherwise, she might be the next one that he scolded.
“I should go.” She stood up and couldn’t wait to walk outside the door.
Mike didn’t lift his head, as if he didn’t hear her words.
Scarlett twisted the door twice, but it couldn’t be opened.
“This is a special door. You can’t leave without my key,” Mike said as cold as ever, but a little more triumphantly.
Scarlett was lost for word.
“My dear Mike, could you please give me the key and let me go?” Scarlett worded carefully.
“No.” Without looking up, he signed the documents.
“Why? Mike, what do you want?” She felt that she was about to lose control.
When she tried desperately to get close to him, he kept a distance. Now that she wanted to go, he kept her here. What did he want to do?
“What do I want?” He closed the file and answered seriously after thinking for a while.
“You…”
It took Scarlett a few seconds to understand what he meant, and her face blushed immediately.
Shameless!
What happened in the bathroom the day before yesterday came to her mind instantly. His eyes were as beautiful as black pearls, but a little intimidating.
He was looking at her in the way as if she was naked!
She had her sitting pose adjusted and tried to pull back the topic.
She was just going to leave. Why were they discussing such a strange and dangerous topic?
“We’ve divorced now. I am not an easy girl. What happened back then was just an accident. Don’t make it count!”
“The day before yesterday…” His hand suddenly patted on the table, which frightened Scarlett.
“The day before yesterday someone had deliberately seduced me on the bed and begged me not to let go. Did you forget?” He stood up and walked towards her slowly.
Mike slowly moved towards her with huge oppression.
“I don’t remember.”
“I don’t mind helping you remember.”
She stood up reflexively but was held down by him. He stuck one leg between hers and lifted her head with his slender fingers, his black eyes narrowed slightly.
“Let go of me!” She patted his shoulder hard, but she couldn’t break free. So she grabbed his hand and gave him a hard bite.
New wounds were added as the old ones had not been healed.
“Enough!” He grasped her jaw, forcing her to let go. There were two horrible tooth marks on his hands.
He seemed irritated.
“You made me…” She wouldn’t have bitten him if he hadn’t stimulated her in that tone.
She looked at his hand guiltily. It was bleeding and seemed hurt.
“If you were half as powerful to people outside as you were to me just now, you won’t be bullied like that!” He was very dissatisfied with her performance today.
Scarlett was confused.
At the moment he raised his hand, she subconsciously closed her eyes, thinking that he might give her a loud slap.
However, he just played her forehead gently, “Silly girl!”
She touched her forehead and looked at him in puzzlement.
“Look at what you did! Go and get the medical kit!”
“OK!” She went into the connecting lounge behind Mr. Abraham’s room, where she had been in several times, and got the medical kit in the cupboard.
He reached out his hand, on which the tooth marks could be clearly seen.
“Hold on. It hurts a little.” She wiped the wounded hand with cotton swabs carefully.
The unique fragrance on her was refreshing. From his angle, he could see her serious side face with her head down. She was just so attractive when she behaved herself.
She pasted a large Band-Aid on his wound.
With her head up, her gaze fell on his expressionless face and said, “That’s it.”
“I’m sorry…” It was a bad bite indeed.
She shouldn’t have done that to him, especially he had stopped Wendy from slapping her and got revenge on Mrs. Lauren, though he was a little scurrilous.
His black eyes were as beautiful as pearls. “There should be sincerity when you apologize.”
Giving her no chance to flinch, he pressed her on the sofa and shackled her between his arms. The next second he bowed his head against hers and said in a low voice.
“An apology should contain some sincerity, like this.”
The pure masculine breath engulfed her as his slightly icy lips pressed against her, leaving her gradually being hooked by his excellent kissing skills and unable to break free.
A while later…
Lily’s respectful voice came through the door panel, “Mr. Abraham, the takeout has arrived,” Lily said respectfully outside the door.
Hurriedly got up and got her crimped clothes straightened, getting his hands off her meantime, Scarlett turned to Mike, only to see his mischievous gaze on her.
Scarlett was upset to have been tempted again and they might have done it if no one had interrupted. Thinking of having sex on the sofa, she immediately shook her head. That was too evil!
She couldn’t help wondering how many girls had fallen for him as he was such a good kisser. She wanted to figure out what he was up to now that he had gotten divorced.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
