"Don't overestimate yourself," Luke snorted through his nose. He had no intentions of reaching out to help her up. Oh, he was definitely not the kind who was tender nor sensitive to women.
"I'll definitely make you pay for this, Luke. You can count on it." Flopping down on the ground, Michelle glared at Luke angrily. She had thought that he was a cool guy. But now he was the world's biggest asshole.
"I'll look forward to it. Don't make me wait for too long." Luke did not even look at her. He immediately turned around and walked away, both hands in his pockets.
"What the fuck! That asshole! I'm gonna kill that bastard! Arrrgghhhh! Motherfucker! ..." Michelle was so angry that she could even feel the blood pumping in the veins on her head. But she had to face the fact that she was unable to beat him today, again.
"What are you doing, lying there on the grass? Michelle! Did you fall down?" Daisy walked out because she heard a commotion. But she never expected to see such a scene. Michelle was down on the ground, all alone with nobody around. Who was she talking to just now? Daisy was confused.
"Ha ha! Oh my god. Did I disturb you? I'm so sorry, I did not mean to!" Michelle felt extremely awkward and embarrassed. She stood up and patted off the grass and dirt from her clothes.
"Be careful. The soil under the grass is uneven. You might sprain your ankle or fall down if you are not careful enough." Daisy looked at her from head to toe to check if she got hurt.
"Yes, I got it. I'll be more careful. Thank you!" Michelle was cautious in front of Daisy. In her mind, she was like a goddess. She was a bit relieved that no one saw the squabble between her and Luke. Especially not Daisy. There was no need for her to know.
"I heard that you are Leena's friend, is that right?" Daisy took another look at her from head to toe. She was curious how they knew each other as they appeared to be from two different worlds.
"Yes, we are friends. We just knew each other not long ago, but we felt like old friends at the first meeting." Michelle liked Leena very much. In her eyes, Leena was sweet, gentle and easy-going. It was what men would actually prefer. Although she would sometimes get lost in the moment and appear to have drifted off to some far away place, she still looked pretty cute. There weren't many women like her who was beautiful and cute at the same time.
"You two are of the same age, so it's easy for you to get along with each other. By the way, I have said before that I would thank you in person. But I never had the chance. I'm glad that you are here, and so, thank you," Daisy raised the corners of her mouth and said tenderly. The way she said it with her body stance and venerable eyes made her look regal.
"It's my pleasure. It was the right thing to do. What's more, you have helped me, too. I should also thank you." Michelle was easy-going and unrefined. So she was quite straightforward when expressing herself.
"You're welcome! But you helped us more than once. You saved us. Thank you so much!" Daisy was referring to the time when Michelle helped Edward and Luke while they were in B Country. Had Michelle not offered a hand, they would have been captured or worse, they could even have died there. They were isolated and did not have their men nearby.
