Chapter 55: KISS AND MAKE UP
Hailee was observing on sidelines, as three people were busy working to install the door to her room that had been broken by Ramon, while calling Ian and telling him what had happened a few hours ago between her and Ramon.
Telling her friend not to worry and everything would be fine.
Ramon had bought her another new cell phone of the same type he threw away yesterday in the park.
Coming to think of it, it was a waste, right? Just because he was annoyed, he threw away the cell phone, which Hailee had only been using for one day and now he had bought her the exact same thing.
Then every time Ramon got upset, he would throw something away? Hailee wondered. Since they were getting married, it might be good if she started to find out what Ramon likes or dislikes, after all they would spend their whole life together, since Ramon said there would be no divorce between them.
Except if something happened where they were unable to continue their relationship; for example an extramarital affair.
Ramon stated this clearly and Hailee knew 'who' he meant. However, Ian was her best friend, so she couldn't just walk away from him without telling him anything.
"... but, is it okay if you let him take control of your family's company?" asked Ian in a slightly worried tone. "After all it's a legacy from your parents, Lee."
Hailee let out a heavy sigh before she answered. "Even if I get the company, I won't be able to manage it. I never intended to take over that business even when my parents were still there… can you imagine what would happen later if I was the one who took the decision there? "
Silence engulfed the conversation, as Ian fell into contemplation, "... I think it's better if you just let your future husband manage it," said Ian in the end.
Hearing her best friend's answer, Hailee laughed out loud, but her laughter didn't last long when she felt someone taking her cellphone from her hand.
Hailee was just about to protest when she turned to find Ramon standing beside her.
Since when was he standing there? Why didn't I realize it?
Immediately, Hailee swallowed her protest again and put on a cute smile while giving him an innocent look, because she knew that Ramon was going to start complaining about her phone call with Ian.
With a cold face, Ramon pressed the cellphone to his ear and a male voice he already recognized could be heard from across the line.
"Didn't I tell you that you can't call this man again?" Ramon said after he turned off the line. "Do I need to throw away your cellphone again?"
"After throwing it away, are you going to buy me a new cellphone again?" Hailee asked with a grin. "I'll be happy if you can give me a white one, I like white," she teased.
However, it seemed that Ramon was not in the mood to respond to Hailee's joke, because after hearing that, he simply turned around and prepared to leave with the girl's cellphone.
"Hey, are you angry?" Hailee asked as she followed Ramon and tried to keep up with his steps. "Ian and I have been friends for a long time, even when I was in a tight situation after being framed by Aileen, he was the only one I could trust and rely on."
"Only one you can rely on?" Ramon narrowed his eyes at the girl who was half running to keep up with his steps.
"Yeah, he was the first person I contacted when I didn't know where to go that night," Hailee told Ramon honestly and it felt good and relieving because she could speak this freely. Lying was excruciating.
The evening sun peeked into the house through the large glass they passed, as the two of them were about to descend the stairs.
"Then where did you live then?" asked Ramon in a voice that showed no emotion at all.
"At his house," Hailee replied immediately, but as soon as those words escaped her lips and Ramon had stopped walking and glared at her, Hailee immediately realized what was wrong. "No, no, no. It's not like what you are imagining!" Hailee waved her hand in panic.
"You spent the night at the house of a man who lives alone?" asked Ramon in a cold voice. Of course he knew about this information.
"Nothing happened between me and Ian!" Hailee said hastily. "He's like a brother to me! Even if he's naked in front of me, I won't feel anything! "
"So had he been naked in front of you?" Ramon asked, walking over and cornering Hailee against the wall.
"Of course not," Hailee replied immediately.
"So you want him naked in front of you?" asked Ramon again.
"Ramon!" Hailee shrieked, now feeling annoyed by this senseless accusation. Hailee never saw her relationship with Ian that way.
"Listen Hailee," Ramon was now literally squeezing her against the wall so that the girl had to face the man's chest which was broad due to the difference in height between them, but then Ramon lifted her chin so that their eyes could meet.
"Yes?" Hailee asked, feeling drunk by this man's scent.
Ugh! Why was it so hard to take her eyes off this man?
"I don't care what your relationship with Ian is, or your romantic relationship with your previous lovers, including your fiancé, Theodor Gevano." Ramon had already found out about this information and, oddly enough, Hailee didn't feel surprised at all. "But I won't tolerate it if you have a scandal with any man."
"If I marry a man like you, why should I glance at other men?" Hailee asked with a confused face, as if she didn't understand why she should have a reason to be attracted to other men.
At Hailee's words, Ramon narrowed his eyes. This girl sure knew the right words to say.
And now, it's Hailee's turn to make inquiries. "Then, how about you?" Hailee wrapped her arms around Ramon's waist and looked at him bravely. "What kind of wife do you like?"
Ramon looked at Hailee intensely, but didn't answer her question. He wanted to see how far this girl would go.
"An innocent wife?" Hailee tilted her head and looked at him with a cute smile. "The sexy one?" This time Hailee blinked her eyes flirtatiously.
However, before Hailee could continue with her list, a voice caught her by surprise.
"Hey! The sun is still shining, what are you doing in the corridor?!" Lexus exclaimed, ruining the atmosphere. "If you guys have made up and want to do that, your room is only five meters away," Lexus grumbled.
"What an atmosphere destroyer," Hailee snapped exasperated as she folded her arms across her chest.
