Love You Enough to Leave You novel Chapter 295

Chapter 295 Agreeing To Be His Girlfriend

“M-Mr. Hisson, it’s late, so I need to go.” Her heart was beating so fast that all she wanted was to flee the scene.

Derrick grabbed her wrist and pinned her to the wall in an imposing manner. His face inched nearer to hers as he asked softly, “Tell me. Don’t you like me at all?”

Upon meeting Derrick’s mesmerizing eyes, Tiffany felt her throat go dry. She swallowed subconsciously.

Pleased by her reaction, Derrick ran his right thumb across her cheek tenderly. “You do like me, huh? Why won’t you accept me, then? You promised to give me a chance, but you keep going back on your word. I don’t trust you at all. That’s why you won’t get to leave this city. What if you disappear into thin air? I won’t take that risk unless you agree to my condition.”

Tiffany blinked at him in confusion.

“I’ll let you leave if you agree to be my girlfriend,” Derrick stated his condition. Like a sly fox, he had everything under his control. He was determined to make Tiffany his, and she would be his wife. After spending three years to court Tiffany, there was no way he’d let her leave this easily.

Tiffany blinked again, for she couldn’t catch up to him.

“Be my girlfriend, and I’ll help you keep your secret,” Derrick announced with a playful smirk.

“What do you know?” Tiffany glanced at him warily.

“I know everything about you. You are leaving this city out of a sudden because of Amelia Winters. I heard her divorce with Oscar Clinton had been finalized,” Derrick revealed confidently.

Tiffany’s expression changed drastically as hostility flashed across her gaze. Her initial shyness was long gone.

“Mr. Hisson, what do you want? If you dare lay a hand on Amelia, I’ll make sure you pay for your actions!” she hissed.

Derrick chuckled. Ruffling her fringe, he remarked, “Tiff, don’t you realize you care for Amelia more than you care for me? If I weren’t sure about your sex, I would’ve thought that you’re madly in love with Amelia.”

Tiffany froze in an awkward manner.

She shot him an indignant look and declared, “Nonsense! Amelia and I are innocent. We’re merely friends!”

Derrick guffawed out loud as his mood further improved.

“Tiff, do you know how adorable you look? I wish I could give you a kiss.” He was rather lavished with praises on her.

Nevertheless, Tiffany tensed up at his words.

Derrick was a sly fox. Since he mentioned Amelia’s divorce, it wasn’t just an offhand remark. Clearly, he’d do something about it. Thus, Tiffany had to keep her guard up to deal with any sudden situations.

“Don’t furrow your brows. You look like an old lady,” said Derrick as he massaged her forehead.

“Mr. Hisson, what exactly do you want? How did you find out about Amelia’s divorce?” Tiffany took two steps back and asked with a voice of forced calmness.

“I know everything about you.” Derrick wasn’t about to keep it a secret from her. “Having a few sleeves up my trick to pursue a beautiful lady is allowed.”

“You had me followed?” Tiffany demanded angrily.

“Not really. I hired a private investigator to find out about your private life and discovered Amelia’s divorce,” came Derrick’s reply.

A wave of fury crashed through Tiffany when she heard that. Suddenly, it occurred to her that Derrick was a dangerous man. He forced her to a corner and didn’t bother hiding his possessiveness. She couldn’t imagine how life would be like living with someone like him. If he were to keep an eye on her daily life, it would feel like she was a prisoner. That was unacceptable!

“Mr. Hisson, either you’ve gone nuts, or my ears must’ve played tricks on me. I need to calm down and consider whether I’ll continue working with your company. A superior who spies on his employees is rather undesirable.” Tiffany gave him a curt wave as she scurried to the door hastily.

Derrick’s expression changed abruptly.

“Listen, Tiff. It’s not what you think,” he implored in a low voice.

“I know what I saw! You’re a whack! Even Oscar isn’t as perverted as you are. I can’t believe I wasted time wondering if I should accept you. Let me tell you this—I won’t accept a pervert who had me tailed!” Tiffany glowered at him and screamed.

Instead of getting mad, Derrick yanked her into his arms and said, “You’re stubborn and difficult. I had to find excuses to make you come to the company. When I visited you at home, you pretended you weren’t home. As I missed you a lot, I had no choice but to ask someone to take a few pictures of you. I found out about Amelia by pure coincidence. She kept appearing in your neighborhood, and I was afraid she ran into some trouble that rendered you helpless and worried. Thus, I asked someone to check it out. I thought I could help you in secret if it’s a complex matter. I can’t believe you called me a pervert. That’s upsetting.”

Tiffany froze, forgetting that she was in Derrick’s arms.
