BXBX NOVEL Chapter 357: TOUCH ME
Chapter 357: TOUCH ME
"You popping up here will only make things worse, you know!" Candice cried in annoyance, slamming her back against the back of the chair, her expression displeased as her arms folded across her chest.
Even a blind person would know that Candice wasn\'t in a good mood, especially when the car\'s air conditioner was way cooler than it should be.
While on the other hand, Lexus just rolled his eyes at Candice\'s childish attitude. The woman looked like she was about to smack him in the face if it wasn\'t going to make things even more chaotic.
Lexus could feel it…
"I came to save you from those reporters, at least you can thank me, you know," Lexus replied to Candice\'s harsh words and also grumbled as he glanced at the girl. "You should wear your seat belt," he reminded her.
"No, let me be," Candice was so annoyed, especially when she saw Lexus\' attitude which made him look very calm while dealing with her, of course she didn\'t want to be upset alone.
And while Candice didn\'t want to put her seat belt on, the warning sounds from inside the car continued to blare, annoying Lexus further.
"Wear your seatbelt, so this noise stops, it\'s not safe after all," Lexus grumbled. He didn\'t know that Candice was this stubborn. If only he knew, then he wouldn\'t be so kind as to approach this girl after he was done with work, just to apologize to her in person.
"No," Candice said, being more and more stubborn. "What are you doing in my car anyway? Get out!"
Lexus very swiftly took the car keys that Candice had dropped because the reporters were chasing her and immediately pushed her into the car, easily dodging the news hunters in the process.
Therefore, now Lexus was in Candice\'s car.
"Just tell me where is your house? I\'ll take you home," said Lexus. He was still bothered by the noise.
"Why do you want to take me home? I didn\'t say I agreed for you to be in my car!" Candice was quite surprised when she heard that Lexus would take her home in her car. Then, Lexus will call a taxi for himself to go home later? Or will he stop by her house?
No. No. The fuss with the reporters alone was exhausting, there was no need to add Lexus who wanted to stop by her house and Candice remembered that there would be other family members.
No. No. That should never happen.
"Ah! Shit!" Lexus cursed, he couldn\'t stand the noise from the car and immediately pulled it over.
"What are you doing?" Candice asked, instantly turning wary when Lexus leaned toward her after unbuckling his own seatbelt and then pulled the seatbelt around Candice\'s body, before finally putting it back on.
Immediately, the atmosphere in the car became quiet and for a few seconds, silence enveloped the two of them.
"Listen, this is better, isn\'t it?" Lexus glared at Candice, who then glared back at him fiercely.
"You better get out of my car. You know, you threw up in my car that night. You know what it smells like?!" Candice grumbled and when she saw the expression on Lexus\'s face change, she didn\'t stop torturing his morale. "How can you let a woman take care of a drunk guy like you and still think of yourself as a gentleman!?" Candice growled in disbelief.
Only, Candice was smiling heartily in her heart, because she could see Lexus grimacing and feeling guilty.
Good! That\'s how he should feel!
"Did I really do that?" Lexus asked with a frown, if that was really what happened, how embarrassing would he be for doing something inappropriate? That was so embarrassing.
"Of course," Candice answered confidently and in a loud voice.
Even though it didn\'t actually happen. Lexus almost threw up, but he didn\'t do so in her car and it happened after Hailee and her husband arrived.
Candice only made up this story to make Lexus feel guilty and uncomfortable.
"Should I buy you a new car to atone for my guilt?" Lexus looked at Candice sharply, the look in his eyes showed that he was serious about his words.
"You think I can\'t afford a new car?!" Candice exclaimed, her hand flying toward the arm of the second son of the Tordoff family, making a loud smacking sound. "Even though my family isn\'t as rich as yours, who would apologize by buying a car?!"
Crazy Lexus.
"Me," the Lexus replied curtly. "I will, if you will forgive me."
"I don\'t need your car," Candice retorted fiercely.
"Then you accepted my apology?" because Candice just refused the car from him and didn\'t say anything about the apology that Lexus proposed, therefore Lexus arbitrarily drew that conclusion.
"I didn\'t say I have forgiven you," Candice growled. She rarely lost her temper like this, but during the three times they\'d met, Lexus always managed to enrage her successfully.
"You\'re hard to understand," Lexus sighed wearily. He shook his head, after which he started the car again.
"Why are you driving my car, you should get out of here!" Candice massaged her temples in pain, it felt like facing Lexus could make her blood pressure rise.
"Then how do I get home?" Lexus asked innocently.
"You think I don\'t know? Those three cars behind us are your bodyguards\'!" Candice pointed behind her at the three big black cars that had been following them for a while.
"Exactly!" Lexus exclaimed cheerfully. "Those are all my bodyguards\' cars, which means they\'re not mine. I left mine in the parking lot as I was busy saving you from those reporters."
"You didn\'t save me." Candice reiterated this point. She couldn\'t let this misunderstanding go any further. "You got me in trouble by doing that."
On the first day, there were about a dozen reporters who came to her office, and today their number had decreased to four, but thanks to Lexus, Candice thought tomorrow the number of reporters would increase by five times.
"You heard me, didn\'t you?" Candice grumbled at not getting a response from Lexus.
"I\'m hungry," he replied.
"Then you can go wherever you want, just get out of my car." Candice rolled her eyes dramatically.
"Eat with me," said Lexus, it wasn\'t a request but a statement because he didn\'t accept rejection.
"No, I don\'t want to eat with you," Candice said back. "Get out of my car now."
"No can do," Lexus replied calmly, then he turned to Candice, grinning triumphantly. "We have entered the toll road, we could get a ticket or cause an accident if we suddenly stop. That is dangerous."
Candice growled and grumbled in an incoherent voice.
"No problem, I\'m fine," said Lexus as if he understood what Candice was saying.
"You\'re the problem!"
================
"Where are you?" Ramon asked Hailee when he reached her on the phone after he was done dealing with the courtroom matters and his business with Leon.
Ramon\'s feelings were not good at the moment, the anger he had held back against Leon, was now coming to the surface and he felt like being near Hailee and listening to her chatter.
"Are you done with your business?" asked Ramon. "Should I pick you up?"
Hailee\'s chuckle could be heard over the phone and just hearing that made Ramon feel much better. "Did you miss me that much?"
"Hm," Ramon mumbled. "I miss you and can\'t wait to see you."
David, who was sitting in the front seat couldn\'t help but sigh… here we go again…
Hailee\'s laughter sounded even more happy when she heard Ramon\'s sweet words. "How much do you miss me?"
"I\'ll show you how much I miss you when you\'re in front of me," Ramon said those words very smoothly, as if he had been flirting with women all his life.
Even David suspected that the one in the back seat was Lexus Tordoff and not Ramon Tordoff.
"I\'ll be home soon, my business will be finished soon," Hailee replied. She smiled a little, blushing when she heard Ramon\'s words, even now she was still not used to her husband. "We\'ll meet at home, okay..."
"I will wait for you at home then. Be careful on the road," said Ramon.
"Hmm, you too." And the moment the line was finally disconnected, Hailee\'s expression swiftly turned one hundred and eighty degrees when she saw Aileen sitting next to her.
Aileen didn\'t look like herself right now, because of her messy hair and her attire which was nothing but a cheap bathrobe, and underneath that bathrobe she only wore panties and her bra.
This is indecent, but who cares?
Everything Aileen had done to Hailee was beyond indecent. So what was wrong with letting Aileen taste the results of her own actions?
She had to feel the same way, no, much worse than what Hailee had been through, to know how bad she was.
"Is this it?" Pyro asked Hailee, he turned to the woman, then glanced at Aileen, only there was no pity in his eyes.
"Yes, here," Hailee replied after looking out the window of her car, which showed they were in the center of the city. It was a very busy location at this hour. "Get her out."
Pyro and Barry immediately got out of the car and pulled Aileen out of there.
Aileen\'s semi-conscious and half-awake state made it easy for them to pull her out of the car, and every time Pyro touched her, Aileen would try to rub her body against Pyro\'s or Barry\'s, muttering something in Pyro\'s ear or the other\'s, which made the bodyguards shudder.
"Touch me..."
