Chapter 46 - LOVE YOU
Chapter 46 – LOVE YOU
"I'm pissed off, I don't want to be here, "Hailee grumbled, her voice low and hoarse. As if she would start crying nonstop in the next second.
This made Lexus quite confused, he frowned. Usually, when dealing with women in this mood, Lexus will invite them on a shopping spree. Quick and easy solution to get their mood back.
But, does this also apply to Hailee? Because she was a little different from the women Lexus got to meet before.
Or invite the woman to have a drink and end up in a room in one of the luxury hotels in town A.
However, the idea was immediately pushed aside by Lexus, considering that Hailee was his future sister-in-law. Ramon would hang him up if he ever had those thoughts toward Hailee.
"Shall we go out for a bit?" said Lexus finally, unable to see Hailee who was devastated by what happened. Maybe the night air could bring her cheerful self back to life. "Is there a place you want to visit?" asked Lexus.
Hearing Lexus's offer, Hailee raised her head and looked at the man with teary eyes.
"Is it okay if I go out now?" Hailee asked, doubting that Ramon would let her out after this afternoon's press conference.
"Of course it's okay, you're not a prisoner here," said Lexus in a very confident tone. "Come on!"
Lexus immediately stood up wanting to take Hailee away.
Seeing this opportunity, Hailee just didn't want to miss it. Behind her teary eyes with resentment toward Ramon and fear of knowing her secrets, there was a new determination and a plan.
While holding her cell phone tightly. Hailee took Lexus's invitation and immediately stood up.
The two of them walked into the hall and out onto the porch, then into the yard, where Lexus's white sports car was parked.
Ugh!
Hailee really wanted to drive a sports car like this one, unfortunately her parents weren't rich enough to buy the car just to show off.
Her father would say; it was a waste, and her mother would never agree because the price of the car would hurt their company finances a little. After all, that wasn't a necessary thing in their eyes.
Lexus then opened the car door for Hailee and circled the car.
As soon as Lexus started it, the soft roar of the car made Hailee enthusiastic and forget about her slight annoyance with Ramon. Well, Hailee was one of those girls who would forget everything else easily when it came to something she liked.
However, her happiness was short lived when a guard at the main gates of the Tordoff residence stopped Lexus.
"You were laid off in your own house?" Hailee asked with a frowning face. Even at this point, Hailee could already guess who this was.
Who else if not the act of the master, who always did whatever he wanted without thinking about other people's feelings?
"Just a second," said Lexus. He also seemed to have the same thoughts as Hailee. Seeing the girl next to him twisting her face again, Lexus cursed in his heart because he had a very stubborn brother like Ramon and sometimes his actions could not be accepted by reason.
A gatekeeper dressed in a dark blue uniform, approached Lexus as he rolled down the window glass, casting the guard an angry look.
"What's wrong?" Lexus blurted out, leaving the guard awry.
"Mr. Lexus," said the guard in a polite tone and nodded at Hailee, who responded with the same gesture. "Sorry, but Miss Hailee is not allowed to leave the residence."
"Ramon's orders?" asked Lexus, but he shouldn't need to be sure, because even without the guard's confirmation, he already knew the answer.
"Yes, Mr. Ramon's orders," he replied, offering a smile of regret for having to stop Lexus. "Mr. Lexus can leave, but I have to send Miss Hailee back to the house."
Compared to Ramon, Lexus was much more easy to talk with.
Hearing the explanation, Lexus clicked his tongue in annoyance, how could his brother treat them like this?
Well, maybe, they were talking about Ramon Tordoff after all …
"Well, let's just go back," said Hailee in a tone that was so unpleasant to hear, she even turned her face away from Lexus and hugged herself. A defensive gesture.
"Wait a minute," said Lexus hastily. He then took his cell phone and got out of the car to call someone.
Either Lexus will get her away or not, but what was certain was when Lexus got out of the car to call someone, Hailee also called Ian.
"Ian," Hailee called in a low voice, while outside the car, the gatekeeper was looking at her with a probing gaze.
"Lee?" called Ian, "What's wrong? Did something happen? "
"No, no, listen to me first…" Hailee interrupted Ian's words and began to briefly describe what happened before, as well as her suspicions that Ramon actually knew what happened, but was still covering it up for reasons Hailee herself wasn't sure about.
"Then what are your plans now? You're leaving tonight?" asked Ian. "Think carefully Hailee. It will be very risky and you don't know what your future will be if you make a hasty decision like this. "
However, Hailee shook her head vigorously. "No, no. I will tell you where you should find me, but before that you have to send me money, I absolutely have no money. "
Ian chuckled when he heard that. "You are going to marry a successful businessman and live in a house like a palace, but you are instead asking me for money, who is only a street fighter? You're like a fish dying of thirst." Ian said teasingly.
However, Hailee snorted in annoyance. "I'm not in the mood to joke," she said in a firm tone.
"Okay, okay. Sorry," said Ian, controlling his laughter. "But, the problem is how are you going to withdraw the money if you don't have your card?" Ian reminded her.
Hailee hit her forehead hard. "Right." She felt stupid.
"Okay, then I'm going to town A now, tell me where I can meet you later," said Ian in a light tone. Looks like he had to miss the match tonight.
Hearing this, Hailee smiled broadly. "Okay, thank you Ian! Love you! "
After that, she disconnected the phone call.
However, what the two of them didn't realize was; there was someone who was eavesdropping on their conversation from inside the house, of course he could hear the conversation, after all, he was the one who bought the cellphone.
The man's handsome face turned dark when he heard the last word Hailee spoke.
"'Love you?'" He repeated angrily.
