Chapter 458 - ’Girlfriend’
Sarah couldn't believe what was happening
Who was this girl? Where did he meet her? Was she the one that gave him the hickey?!
Sarah's mind went back to that day when she had first seen that photo.
After her initial rant, she had calmed down. Screaming it out surely did release a lot off one's shoulders.
She had zoomed in on that hickey, touching it over the computer screen. She started imagining that it was her that had put that hickey there. She continued looking at the hickey, then at the reflection in the mirror as it showed his perfectly toned body.
Her eyes roamed downwards to that towel that dipped so precariously low. She gulped and stroked the screen just at that point. Her eyes closed as she imagined touching there as she gave him that hickey.
Now, being confronted with the girl that may have been the real one that had given him that hickey, Sarah's mind seemed to stagnate at that point. It took all of her willpower to stop herself from rushing over and separating them.
Sarah quickly glanced at Kyle's neck but couldn't see any hickey and she let out a breath of relief.
If this girl was the one that had given him that hickey the last time, then it meant she followed him all?around on his promotional tour?! But that did not explain what she was doing here. What they were doing here.
She stared at Kyle, who appeared completely smitten by the girl in his arms.
She had to save him. He's acting all weird and not like the responsible Kyle she had always known. Why did it seem like he was being led by the nose?
Looking at the shopping bags that were on the ground near them, it was obvious that the girl had been doing some major shopping.
Sarah felt angry again.
This gold-digger was using up Kyle's money to finance her shopping spree!
"Kyle?" Sarah called out, unable to stand the lovey-dovey scene in front of her anymore.
It seems that if she was to wait for them to actually realise that there was someone nearby would be something beyond their capabilities at the moment.
Kyle looked up while the girl turned around, and Kyle smiled upon seeing Sarah.
Sarah gloated a bit at that, until she heard the girl ask, "Baby, who is she?"
Baby? BABY?!
"Schoolmate," Kyle replied, "Hanni, this is Sarah. Sarah, this is Hanni, my girlfriend."
Hanni reluctantly let go of Kyle and turned to face Sarah, giving her smile and a polite nod.
"Nice to meet you, Sarah," Hanni said sweetly.
Sarah didn't answer at first for Kyle's words seem to echo in her mind repeatedly.
Girlfriend ... girlfriend ... girlfriend ...
Sarah's mind reeled at that word. Though it did appear like they were close, she hadn't thought their relationship had gone that deep that fast!
And what sort of a name was that? Honey?! Obviously, with that face and that name, it was confirmed she is a gold-digger! Kyle was being utterly blind!
But how can she show it to him without making him angry and upset at her? She had to think things through properly.
Not showing any emotion of the unrest within her heart, Sarah gave a stiff smile and replied, "Nice to meet you, too."
Turning to Kyle, she asked, "Weren't you supposed to be in Country M? Your second interview is coming soon, right? Did something happen?"
Kyle merely smiled, and hugged Hanni from behind, saying, "I just wanted to show Hanni around here first before going back. The interview is in two weeks after all."
Hanni held on to Kyle's hands that were around her waist and she turned to look at him, her face facing upwards, "Baby, it's lovely here, but we really should be getting back."
"Tired?" Kyle asked worriedly.
"A little bit," Hanni admitted, "I didn't get much sleep last night after all."
Kyle grinned, kissing her nose, saying softly (but was loud enough for Sarah to 'hear'), "I'm sorry. I'll hold back tonight."
Hanni pouted, lowering her voice as well, "You said that last night too."
Kyle laughed and said, "Who asked you to be so adorable?"
"You're so mean," Hanni replied, but her gentle smile showed she wasn't really angry. She caressed his cheek and he smiled lovingly at her.
He took that hand and kissed her palm, his lips staying on it far longer than necessary while his eyes were closed.
"Baby, stop it," Hanni said softly, "We're in public."
Kyle opened his eyes and looked at Hanni, and replied with his lips brushing against her palm, his voice low and sexy, "So now you're all shy, huh? You weren't like this last ..."
Hanni pushed her hand over Kyle's mouth, her face beet red.
Sarah felt like scratching her eyes out and stuffing her ears with wool. They had not only completely ignored her while they retreated into their own little world, they were ... they were ...
Sarah shook her head hard.
No, it couldn't be like how it sounded. It just couldn't! Kyle was not that sort of person.
He treated women like gold. He never would have a one-night stand or sleep around. He was just not that sort of person.
Although Sarah was right about that, it did not mean he was abstaining himself or saving himself for marriage. If he found the right girl, and both were willing, he wasn't going to 'hold back'.
In truth, Sarah knew this deep down, but since she was unwilling to accept that Kyle would ever find 'the one' since she is the one, she blocked out all other thoughts.
Sarah gritted her teeth in annoyance.
Hanni turned her head back to face Sarah, and apologized, "I'm sorry. We have to go now. It was nice meeting you."
"Do you really have to go now?" Sarah asked, "Would you mind very much if I interview you? This is huge news, you being his girlfriend."
Hanni appeared puzzled, tilting her head to one side, "Interview? I don't understand."
"I'm sure you know how popular Kyle is here," Sarah said enthusiastically, "He's practically the dream guy and all the girls are constantly flinging themselves at him."
"In fact, I don't know how he managed to stay single, other than that girlfriend he had before," Sarah continued.
"So?" Hanni replied with a smile, "It doesn't matter how many girls fling themselves on my Baby, or how many still do. If he was interested in any of them, he would have ended up with one of them. He didn't."
"They are as inconsequential as a fart," Hanni said, "They can be as loud as they want, but at the end of the day, they're just air that smells."
"They never stood a chance, and they never will," declared Hanni confidentially, "They want him? They're welcome to try."
Then, staring at Sarah straight in the eye, Hanni said, "I will simply crush them. He is mine."
Sarah found herself shivering a bit at that. It was as if those words were directed at her. It couldn't be, right? No one knew how she felt about Kyle, right?
