If Louis finds it out later, how will she explain?
“The favor he asked me to do is important. How can I ignore it?” Lily says, “I’m quite anxious as I don’t have many female friends.”
Hearing her words, Louis feels something wrong. “What did he ask you to do?”
Lily glances at him and teases him, “Master Smith said you’re already thirty years old. If I have a female friend who is single and available, I shall introduce her to you.”
“Are you trying to annoy me?”
“Nah. That’s what Master Smith said exactly.” She rubs her chin, lost in thought. Then she asks again, “How about my younger sister? Although she’s a bit stupid, don’t all men like stupid women?”
The car brakes to stop violently, and Lily almost flies out.
Louis quickly unfastens his safe belt and pushes the car door open, his tone so cold, “Get off!”
“The traffic is so heavy here. Are you kidding me?” Lily looks at the street back and forth. Then she pulls back the door to close. “If you don’t want my younger sister, I will find new candidate for you.”
Louis is really speechless.
Right now, cars behind them are honking, indicating them to move.
Seeing that Louis is motionless, Lily urges him, “Drive! Aren’t you afraid a grumpy driver would come to kills us?”
Louis starts the engine without saying a word, but when the car is passing the traffic lights, he makes a turn.
“It’s not the way to my company or my house,” Lily points out his mistake. “Make a U turn at the next intersection.”
“Lily,” Louis calls her name with a sneer, “Am I too easy-going with you?”
Lily looks at him warily, “What do you mean?”
“You’ll know it soon.”
Louis drives directly to the place where he lives. It’s too late when Lily has realized that something goes wrong. As soon as she gets off the car, the man forcibly wraps her shoulders, dragging her into his house.
“Louis Smith, stop! You’re breaking the law!” Lily scratches him, struggling hard, but the arm on her shoulders doesn’t move a bit. “Stop! Let go of me! I’m warning you!”
“I’ll call the police. Believe or not!” she keeps resisting.
Lily’s hard tactics have failed. She has no choice but to beg for mercy, “I’m sorry. I won’t make fun of you again, Mr. Smith. Please let go of me. I still have my aged mother and younger brother to support.”
Amused by her words, Louis feels helpless. “What nonsense are you talking about? Stop your wild imagination! I’m not going to hurt you.”
“But you gave me a cold warning, and you had a fierce look on the face,” Lily says, “You were also dragging me like a captive forcibly. I can’t help thinking you’ll kill me.”
Louis is unable to find any right word to answer her.
He doubts if this woman is suffering from persecutory delusion.
He swipes his card on the door and explains coldly, “I just want you to cook for me.”
Lily’s face turns livid.
As soon as the door is opened, someone happens to come out from inside. Louis takes Lily back for a few steps. When he’s about to attack, he finds it’s Chloe, followed by Coffey.
“Hi, Louis, Lily!” Chloe waves to them, smiling brightly, “You came back!”
Being enraged, Louis doesn’t know what to response for a moment. Finally he utters, “According to your tone, I thought this is your residence, not mine.”
“I’ve left a necklace here days ago, so I came to get it today.” Chloe sticks her tongue out and bitches about the house, “Louis, your door is so shabby. It only took my boyfriend a few seconds to break in.”
Louis couldn’t find his tongue to retort.
Noticing Coffey staring at Louis’ hand on her shoulders and about to make a move, Lily quickly pulls Louis’ hand down.
