Chapter 51: BEING LOCKED
"Of course I know, I bought it," replied Ramon, a little sarcastic, making Hailee even more uncomfortable. "There\'s nothing else you want to say?" he asked.
In front of this man, Hailee stood awkwardly, twisting the hem of her shirt with her head bowed. Just like a child being scolded for coming home late at night after playing too much.
"What else should I say?" Hailee asked in a voice so low which couldn\'t even be categorized as muttering. "I ... walked outside for some fresh air ..."
After saying that, Hailee really wanted to hit herself. Who would believe such a stupid excuse? And again, the one she was facing was Ramon Tordoff.
"You think I\'ll believe it?" asked Ramon irritably. Never before had a woman made him rush to approach her like this.
"I hope you believe ..."Hailee muttered very quietly. It seemed, her hangover had completely disappeared because of Ramon\'s arrival. It was really very effective. Much more effective than taking any medication. Hailee thought to herself.
"Get in the car now," said Ramon commandingly.
"Okay," Hailee agreed quickly and moved forward to retrieve the cellphone which was thrown away by Ramon, but the man held her arm, preventing her from picking it up again. "The cellphone is still good, why should you throw it away?"
"Because I can," said Ramon in a final tone. He didn\'t want to argue with Hailee anymore and it was already very late, he didn\'t want anyone else to capture this moment and mess up his plans. "Let us go home."
"Ah, my cell phone…" Hailee groaned, feeling too bad to lose her cell phone. Not only that, she could see through her cellphone screen which was lit that Ian was calling her.
Ramon ignored Hailee\'s complaints and opened the car door immediately. "That\'s my cell phone, which I gave you myself. So there is no need to complain like that," said Ramon.
He then ordered his driver to return to the Tordoff residence and ignored Hailee\'s attempts altogether to get out of the car.
"I\'m hungry… can\'t we stop and eat something?" Hailee asked with a pained face.
"No," said Ramon curtly and then closed his eyes.
"What a cheapskate," Hailee grumbled so softly that only her lips moved without making any sound whatsoever. She then looked out the window with a look of despair.
How troublesome to face this person ...
==============
Ian arrived at the location Hailee told him to, but he didn\'t find anyone there, after wandering around for a while, he found her cell phone lying on the ground.
It was certain that Ramon had taken Hailee away, but what worried Ian was; what was that man going to do to her?
"Hh…" Ian sighed heavily and scratched his head.
From the brief conversation that took place between himself and Ramon Tordoff, it seemed that the man had learned of Ian\'s identity, as well as his circumstances, including the problem of his younger sister being cared for.
"This guy is really scary," Ian muttered, putting Hailee\'s cell phone in his pocket before walking back toward his motorbike.
At this point, there was nothing Ian could do except hoping for Hailee to be all right. Ramon was well known for having a cold personality, but not a single article said that he was a sadistic figure right?
He wouldn\'t torture Hailee, right?
==============
Maybe Ramon wouldn\'t torture Hailee physically, but he did \'torment\' her mentally.
"What do you mean I have to sleep here?!" roared Hailee when Ramon locked her and himself in his room. To make sure that she wouldn\'t run away again.
The scene where Ramon forced her into the room was embarrassing too.
This man slung Hailee\'s body over his shoulder, as if he were carrying a sack of rice and made Hailee have to see his strong back muscles under the shirt he was wearing.
Ugh!
Hailee was just a normal twenty year old girl, okay! So of course what Ramon did… looked especially hot and sexy.
However, what made Hailee not want to meet the people in this house again was because they saw her being carried.
Almost all of Ramon\'s servants and bodyguards saw the incident.
Even Lexus was dumbly staring at Hailee and Ramon openly with his jaws wide open.
"Your room is being repaired, so where do you think you\'re going to sleep?" asked Ramon as he took off the shirt he was wearing and made Hailee lose focus for a moment.
Shaking her head vigorously, Hailee tried to get back in to arguing with this annoying man once again.
"You don\'t have to lock me here! This house has more than two rooms right? There\'s no way you don\'t have a guest room," said Hailee as she threw herself onto the sofa and folded her arms, indicating that she was upset.
Even though what actually happened was; she was struggling to shift her focus away from Ramon\'s athletic body.
On the other hand, Ramon was not unaware of this, on contrary he seemed to be enjoying it. Teasing Hailee seemed to be entertainment in itself.
"You\'re going to be the hostess of this house soon, why do you have to sleep in the guest room?" Ramon asked casually and took a towel.
"Where\'s the key to this room!" exclaimed Hailee. She didn\'t want to argue with Ramon anymore, so it would be good if she just walked out.
Leisurely, Ramon showed her his room key and put it in his pants pocket.
Seeing this, Hailee\'s forehead creased in disbelief. "Don\'t tell me you\'re going to take a shower with that key." Hailee\'s voice was like a high pitched whisper.
"If you want, you can take it yourself, I won\'t lock the bathroom door," replied Ramon casually as he stepped inside.
And just like what Ramon said, he really didn\'t close the door at all.
"You crazy man!" Hailee was feeling beyond annoyed.
Of course Hailee wouldn\'t go in and get that damn key herself.
After Ramon finished bathing, it was Hailee\'s turn to take a bath and because Ramon didn\'t allow her to come out and didn\'t give orders for someone to bring her clothes, Hailee took Ramon\'s shirt and training pants to sleep.
The man\'s shirt and pants had to be rolled up several times to fit her size.
"Then where will I sleep?" Hailee asked, staring at the empty space beside Ramon. "There\'s no way I can sleep on the bed with you, right?"
"Why not?" Ramon asked without taking his eyes off of the laptop on his lap.
Actually, Hailee was considering this. Ramon\'s mattress was quite large, so there was no way he would roll over to her side, right?
However, Ramon\'s next words discouraged Hailee greatly.
"If you don\'t want to, you can sleep on the sofa."
