"You know, I quite admire your composure. But I am afraid that she has an unforgiving temper. Be careful, she might settle scores with you in the future." Edward said to Luke with a malicious smile. He was rather astonished at first, too. But he then rejoiced inwardly, thinking that something good might happen here. Something probably related to a crush, or love.
"So what? She's just a little girl, what can she even do to me?" It seemed like Luke wasn't paying any attention to Michelle, and was even looking down upon her Edward wondered whether she would kick up a big stink if she found this out. Judging from her hot temper, he believed that she definitely would.
"I have been there. And mark my words, one should never ever underestimate a woman. Offend them once and you are doomed for life!" said Edward, winking at Luke gloatingly. If he saw things right, Luke and Michelle were actually into each other. It was only a matter of time before Jack could have his Jill. But given the fact that Luke was very clumsy in the matter of love, they still had a long way to go.
Although Luke had wounds all over his body, they were not very severe. So the doctor had only disinfected the wounds and applied medicine to them. But it was still quite an ordeal for Luke to have so many wounds treated at one time. He might have managed to display a calm exterior, but it was truly a gut-wrenching scene for Edward. And Luke's suffering further added to Edward's hatred towards Joseph, KG's CEO.
No sooner had Michelle seen the doctor off than she stormed in the room. She walked up to Luke, gnashing her teeth. She only became increasingly irritated when waiting outside. It was true that she wasn't the kind of perfectly charming or coquettish girl, but she was pretty and cute. How could someone like her, ever disgust anyone? How could he be so rude to her? "Hey! Mr. Chilly. What wrong did I ever do to you? Why do you treat me like this? I want an explanation!" huffed Michelle with her hands on her hips. Raising her head, she looked at Luke with a pride of a peacock, determined to get an apology from him. She was too angry to remember that Luke's master Edward was still in the room. And it was the first time that Edward got completely ignored by a woman, or more specifically, a seemingly underage girl.
"Get out of my way," said Luke sternly. Without even looking at Michelle, he walked straight past her to Edward, simply ignoring her. "Mr. Mu, I will go back to my room and change. Call me if you need anything," he then said.
"OK, go and have a rest." Edward nodded. His voice shook because he was badly controlling his laughter. He wouldn't get bored in days ahead, he thought to himself, given these two funny fellows were around him.
"So what is it? I am talking to you, Mr. Chilly!" Luke's reaction made her jaw drop to the floor. Unwilling to give up, she hurried to chase after him. She incessantly shouted behind him. But the moment she got to his door, the door shut in front of her with a bang, bumping her little snub nose.
"Michelle, that's just the way he is. I hope you don't mind." Edward gave a little cough, with his fist covering his mouth to stifle his laughter.
