"Don't tell anyone about this," Natalie reminded Remington worriedly.
"Don't worry. I'm the most trustworthy person you'll ever meet," Remington added, "Do you want me to send you home?"
Natalie thought Tobias must have something urgent to discuss with her. She thought that it would take too much time to walk or take a bus back, hence she nodded.
After getting out of the buffet restaurant, Remington immediately led Natalie to his car.
Remington's car was a red Ferrari, which was very flamboyant.
Natalie thought that this man was also quite wealthy. She recalled that he was Tobias' friend and it would be weird if he was not rich too.
Was there not a saying that went like this? Birds of a feather flock together.
Tobias was a wealthy guy, thus his friends must be similar too.
Remington chatted with Natalie with his hands on the wheel. "Aren't you pretending to be Tobias' wife? Why are you living together?"
Natalie waved her hand swift and explained, "You've misunderstood us. We are staying together for his mother. We are not sleeping in the same room."
Natalie emphasized the last sentence particularly. Remington raised his eyebrow. "So he hasn't touched you yet? You're still a virgin?"
Natalie did not know how to answer this question.
She did not want to answer such a private question when she was not that close with Remington.
She was silent but fortunately, Remington did not pester.
After arriving at Themyscira Apartment, Remington asked Natalie to lend him her mobile phone. "Can I borrow your mobile phone to make a call?"
Natalie lent her mobile phone to Remington and shortly after, his own mobile phone rang.
Natalie suddenly came to her senses. "You could've just asked me if you want my phone number. Why are you playing tricks like this?"
Remington replied smilingly, "Tricks have been proven to win other's favor. Don't women like this kind of thing? Aren't you a woman?"
Natalie snatched back her mobile phone and snapped, "There are different types of women."
Remington waved his mobile phone at her. "I have saved your number. You have to answer if I call you."
Natalie snorted, "Why do I have to answer your call?"
She was very dissatisfied with Remington's trick earlier!
"That's because I'm handsome," Remington replied with a grin.
Natalie glanced at him from up and down before answering, "Tobias is handsome too. He seems to be much more handsome than you."
"We have different styles. He is an abstinent man and I am an open-minded man."
Natalie was speechless. This was the first time she heard someone describing himself like that.
"All the more reason I shouldn't answer your call if you're open-minded," Natalie retaliated.
Remington shook his head and replied, "You can't say that. I'm only open-minded to my woman. I will only treat other women as friends. It will be a pleasant experience being my friend."
After thinking about it, Natalie recalled that she did spend an enjoyable time chatting with Remington previously. Her life would be interesting if she had a humorous man for a friend.
"We'll talk later. I have to go now," Natalie replied as she got out of the car.
"Don't let Tobias know that you met me," Remington suddenly uttered.
"Why?" Natalie was puzzled.
"That's because he's jealous that I'm more handsome than him." Remington smirked and added, "He's afraid that I'll steal his woman."
There was a loud roaring sound from the engine and the Ferrari sped off.
