Chapter 7 His Demands
In order to ask him for help, Scarlett had lost all her dignity and face.
But this didn’t mean that she was a very open-minded woman.
In fact, Mike was her first and only man. Her understanding of the things between men and women came from all kinds of films, and the practice was all “taught” by him.
Now he wanted her to show her “sincerity” in front of the driver, which made Scarlett ashamed and angry. She should give him a few tight slaps, but she had to endure because of the reality.
Mike folded his hands behind his head, waiting for her to react.
Scarlett thought of her mother who was waiting for help, and her anger only lasted a few seconds before disappearing.
She grabbed the remote control with her slender hands and was about to lower the baffle between the back seat and the driver, but Mike grabbed her hand and stop her.
“Just in this way?!”
She stared in disbelief.
What did she hear? In the car? In front of the driver? He was too shameless!
The driver in the front seat focused on driving, but Scarlett’s face was still as red as a cooked crab.
How could he let her … in front of outsiders?
“What? You have the courage to pretend to love me, but you don’t have the courage to prove that?”
His words were like a bayonet. She gritted her teeth, moved her hand to her collar, and slowly untied it.
He widened his eyes, and the anger in his eyes piled up. She was like she was going to die a heroic death. This did not move him but instead made him burn with anger.
He grabbed her hand to stop her, “What exactly did they give you to make you so stubborn? Where is your pride? Where is your dignity?”
“It was you who asked me to do this!” Didn’t she want to be proud? Didn’t she want dignity? But it was too extravagant for someone who was in a desperate situation.
“Stop the car!” He ordered coldly. The driver, who chose to be deaf, immediately regained his hearing and stopped the car.
“Get off the car!”
The driver unbuckled his seat belt, thinking they might be going to do something now.
“I’m talking about her. Scarlett, get the hell out of here!” The veins on Mike’s temples throbbed.
Scarlett felt that she was fooled again and gain. He first gave her hope by pretending to be kind. He saw her as a clown, stamping on her dignity. But in the end, he asked her to leave in vulgar language.
She was not at his disposal! She finally saw through the essence of this man. He did not want to help her from the beginning, but he kept watching her make a fool of herself.
This made her very embarrassed. She could not face Mike, and she could not face her embarrassing self. She pushed open the car door, ignored the rain outside, and rushed into the rain.
The rain was even heavier. It seemed it had gathered all the rainfalls in the world. It was a storm, accompanied by thunder.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Mike sat up straight and clenched his fists.
It was already one o’clock in the morning. The rain outside was coming down in buckets. The driver knew he was just an employee and he should not say what he should not say, especially since this was his boss’ private matter.
But after all, it was in the small hours in the morning. The weather was so bad and there was not even a car on the road. Scarlett treated them well in the past two months. She even paid attention to the servants. The driver remembered the kindness of his previous mistress and said boldly.
“Mr. Abraham, the rain outside is so heavy. It is difficult for Mrs. Abraham to stop the car. How about I send you back and then send her back?”
“Shut up! I know the rain was heavy. I can see myself.” Mike vented all his anger on the driver.
“Yes.” The driver did not dare to say more, and he felt very sympathetic for Scarlett.
Mike’s god temper was well-known. Everyone knew that he could hide his true feelings without revealing his emotions. But only the people around him knew that he was ill-tempered. Those who angered him would definitely suffer his revenge.
Damn woman! She really knew how to anger him. No one had ever been able to anger him like this. Mike clenched his fists tightly. She repeatedly challenged him. He should have let her be drenched to death by the rain. This kind of scourge! She would only disturb his mind. She was not obedient at all!
The rain was accompanied by the wind as it violently knocked against the window. The car was dead silent.
He ordered, “Drive.”
The driver did not dare to go against it and started the car. But Mike suddenly shouted to stop after they drove ten meters far. He clenched his fists.
“Turn around!”
The empty street became a sea of rain, which brought a faint mist to the street. The car sped past and soon caught up with Scarlett who was running in the rain.
Mike rolled down the window and ordered coldly.
“Get on the car!”
The suit jacket she just put on was once again drenched, and she continued to run forward as if she had not heard anything.
Mike frowned and raised his voice.
“Get in the car!”
She stopped and the rain blurred her vision. “No!” She roared at the window.
She had enough of this man’s eccentricity and enough of his disdain for her.
Yes, she was in trouble now.
However, she had already seen through this man.
What he had done just now was beyond her. She had never been so shameless. She hated Mike who always looked down on her and hated her weakness and incompetence even more.
He was eager to cut ties with her from the beginning. He did not want to lend her a hand and trample on her dignity again and again. Why would she look for his humiliation?
Mike’s patience ran out. He decided to get off the car and caught her himself.
“It’s none of your business. We are divorced! Mr. Abraham, I am worthless. I have to ask you for help, but I haven’t been cheap enough to let you fool me again and again!”
“Mike, thank you for letting me see what kind of person you are. I am also glad that I don’t have to be tied up with a cold-blooded animal like you who only cares about money for the rest of my life. From today onwards, I won’t beg you humbly. There are many men on Earth. I could find them!”
Find other men? Mike was boiling with rage, and what annoyed him more was the woman’s uncooperative actions.
After she shouted, she turned and ran quickly. She could not guess right what was in his mind. She could not afford to offend him, but she could hide!
Mike cursed and opened the car door. He didn’t even have time to take the umbrella and quickly chased after her.
Scarlett ran into the dark alley. Her anger towards Mike made her unable to even care about fear. The alley was so dark that she couldn’t even see her fingers when she reached out. On this rainy night, it looked ferocious and terrifying.
She ran quickly. Suddenly, there was a huge force behind her. A long arm grabbed her and quickly dragged her back.
