The more Sonia thought about it, the more nervous she got. She almost jumped to her feet and tried to run away, but Daniel didn't go to her. Instead, he went straight to the fridge and took out a box of ice cream. "I just wanted to help you with this," he said.
She took a deep breath, still petrified as he pointed at her temple with his index finger and said, "You think too much. But even if you wanted to do that, I still wouldn't want to because you feel like a dehydrated dry carrot when I touch you."Her face became bright red as he spoke. When she noticed the cheeky grin on his face and realized that he was actually teasing her, she got angry, scooped out some ice cream, and wiped it on his face.This guy was a neat freak, so she thought he would immediately run to the bathroom and take a shower. She absolutely did not expect him to fight back, but he scooped out some ice cream as well and smeared it all over her face.'You wantShe thought about it for a while and then sent a message saying, "Daniel, I won't cook tonight. Please arrive at Petrus Restaurant for a French dinner. See you at sharp eight o'clock. PS: If you stand me up, I am going to burn you alive."While reading this message, Daniel was in the cottage by the bay with his subordinate, William. A smile made its way to his face as soon as he read Sonia's text. It was an unnoticeable one yet William caught it since he knew his boss very well. Moreover, his boss seemed to be in high spirits lately. There was a new cheerfulness about him. He couldn't help but come to the conclusion that Sonia had a part in it. He was also stunned to see this change in his boss. No other girl had managed to placate him since he was indifferent to their feelings. Even the most beautiful women had no power over him.As the only person who knew the whereabouts of Daniel, he also knew about this absurd marriage.That day, Daniel was drunk and
"What are you doing?" Fabian was furious as she rushed over to the pair. She looked like a dragon who was about to spit fire.James let go of the woman in his arms. Although he was startled, he didn't look the slightest bit guilty. He knew for a fact that Fabian had always been obsessed with him. In fact, she was the one who had brought up the wedding. "Why are you here?""How could I not?" she snapped. A part of her wished that she could tear Sonia down with her own bare hands.Having no intention to argue with Fabian, Sonia turned. "I'm going in." However, just as she was about to leave, Fabian caught her wrist. Turning her around, she slapped the woman hard on her face.There was no way she was going to let the woman go! Especially after trying to seduce her husband! Fabian clenched her jaw as malicious thoughts filled her mind.In the black Bentley, Daniel glowered. His fists cracked at the sight, tearing through the dull sile
With an obscene smile, the fat man began to unbuckle his belt.Knowing that she couldn't get free from the tight hold, tears of despair streamed down her face. "Daniel!" she sobbed out. She didn't know why he was the first person in her mind, but she yelled for him desperately.Closing her eyes and readying herself for the worse, an angry fist broke through the helpless night. Billy, the fat man, groaned in pain as he fell onto the ground like a motionless pig.Seeing this, the other three men let go of the girl and started to brandish their knives. Without another word, they rushed to the newcomer. They weren't any match for him. In just a few strokes, all three of them fell to the ground as they searched for their knocked off teeth.Sonia gazed at the man who had saved her. She squinted, not believing that it was actually Daniel who came to save her. When his arms wrapped around her, she could smell his masculine scent wafting around her nose. "Da
Mandy actually planned to stay in their house for the time being because her landlord had decided to sell her old apartment.Hearing that, Sonia's head was already hurting. If she knew her friend any better, her real purpose was to get close to Daniel.However, an icy guy like him wasn't planning on letting her stay over. The moment he heard of the news, his face darkened completely. In fact, what he wanted to do was walk over there and give her a piece of his mind.Seeing that he was about to drive the woman away, Sonia pulled him into the room in a hurry."Mandy will be moving out as soon as she finds a house. Just bear with her for a couple of days please," she begged, clasping her hands together."No," Daniel said coldly. It was obvious that he wasn't there to negotiate with her.Sonia gritted her teeth. She had wanted to try and persuade him nicely, but seeing as he wasn't responding to
Was this a swimsuit or mummy wrappings?She stared at the swimsuit. In fact, it looked as if it belonged to a scuba diver. The only thing it was missing were the webbed sandals.As a fashion designer who had seen multiple fashion statements, it was the first time for her to see such a conservative design!"It fits you." A smile slid onto his face. Given that he had seen her before, he knew all her sizes like the back of his hand.She wrinkled her nose. "I don't want to wear it. Not only is it ugly as hell, but it's insulting for you to think that I'll wear it!"'He seems to be a man of good taste, so what the hell was running in his mind when he picked out this swimsuit?'Daniel shrugged. "It doesn't matter. We can always sit on the balcony and watch the sunset today." It seemed that not only would he refuse to go with her, but he also wouldn't allow her to go with Mandy!Sonia glared at the sky. For the sake of her money and Ma
When they went back to their seats, Mandy took off her sunglasses and summoned all of her courage to invite her dream lover. "Dan, how about we take a swim?" she suggested."I'm playing the Fight Against Landlords. Go on your own," he said, without even looking up at her. He was too focused on the phone.Mandy had already been refused for so many times, so she had gotten used to it. She secretly pinched Sonia a few times on the waist, as if asking her to instigate the entire thing.Sonia groaned in her heart. After what had happened, she didn't want to go into the waters again. However, she knew that if she didn't go, Daniel wouldn't bother going either.She didn't expect that she would risk her life trying to play matchmaker.Sighing, she stretched her hand over the screen of the phone. "We can play at home. We don't get to go to the beach every day, you know. Why don't we enjoy ourselves?"Daniel narrowed his eyes.
She feigned a smile and swam as far away from him as possible.He stared at her receding figure with his unblinking eyes. The waves danced but he didn't stir. He was in a daze and not even tsunami could placate him.As soon as Sonia was ashore, she began to look around for Mandy. Luckily, she didn't have to search long. Mandy was caught sitting on the beach chair, with her head bowed down."Mandy, you misunderstood. There is nothing going on between the two of us," Sonia explained in a hurry.Mandy suddenly stood up from her chair, raised her hand and slapped her across her face. Writhing with rage, she said, "You are the most despicable person, Sonia. You pretended to help me whereas behind my back you were trying to seduce him! You cheating bitch. Why did you do this to me? Did you want to prove that you are better than me? All these years, I considered you my best friend. And look what you did to me!"In spite of the burning pa
When Daniel finally knew that something was up, it was already too late. The moment he swallowed the cabbage, it felt as if his whole mouth was burning. He coughed with great force, trying to get rid of the spice.Sonia had put a whole bottle of wild pepper into the pot without anyone noticing.Seeing his face flushed and sweaty as he ran to the kitchen to get some water, she was in a good mood. She picked up the chopsticks and began to eat slowly. A smile was playing on her lips.When he returned to the table, Daniel smiled bitterly. "Are you feeling better now? Do you want to punish me again?"She snorted in disgust. In fact, she was far from done yet. As long as she continued to think of him 'cheating' on her, her anger continued to spread like wildfire."You better clean your room today. I swear, don't you even think about catching infectious diseases?" she snapped. She had always thought that he was a clean freak. It seemed,
