Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 50

Belinda Shangguan was just about to park her car but a luxury Spyker C8 pulled into the spot ahead of her. She had to slam on her brakes to avoid it.

She lost her temper, bursting from the car in a rage as she cursed Edward hundreds of times in her heart. She wouldn't have even had to be here if he hadn't insisted on discussing the contract outside.

Duke picked up the file on the assistant seat and opened the door. He heard a woman scream, "You asshole, do you know how to drive? I found that parking spot first! Move your car now!" She advanced on him, before she could even see him. Belinda really had a hot-temper!

"Are you yelling at me?" Duke retained his poker face and glared daggers at the woman. He had to admit, she looked competent and sexy.

"Yeah, I'm talking to you! Are you showing off your money? No wonder you drive a car that way!" Belinda forgot that she too was rich.

Duke's face darkened even more. He thought to himself, 'Shit, what's wrong with me? Why do I always run into these crazy chicks?'

"What do you against rich people? And I didn't hit you, so what's your problem?" Duke asked with his teeth clenched, fire in his eyes. Who wouldn't be unhappy outside where the sun's heat baked you?

"Yeah, you didn't hit anyone, but you grabbed my parking spot." Belinda suddenly looked up at the man. Why would she be afraid of him? Then, suddenly, she recognized him. Oh my god! Was he the guy she ran into in front of Sexy World? He was worse than Edward!

"Tell you what: stay off the road till you get better at driving." Duke glanced at Belinda's Lotus Evora 400 behind him and thought she was one of the trust fund babies. No wonder she acted so arrogantly.

"Why don't you just admit you're a jerk with no morals, and leave my driving out of it!" Belinda was not about to let this man off the hook. He humiliated her before. She also found it funny that he didn't recognize her at all.

"Morality? You're one to talk about 'morality!' You're tarnishing the word!" Duke said in disdain and slammed the car door without giving Belinda a chance to say anything more.

Belinda was too angry to say a thing. Shit, how could anyone be such an asshole! She kicked Duke's car wheel and went looking for another parking spot, ignoring the sudden alarm from his car.

Belinda Shangguan was the type of person to act even tougher when she met a tough guy. The poker-faced man made her uncomfortable, though, she didn't dare provoke him.

Edward was used to being late. Deliberately. Everyone became restless and uneasy, waiting for him to show up. Uncomfortable people were not as sharp as they would be normally. Then he'd pop in when they least expected it, and he would get anything he wanted because they were already worn down.
