Chapter 151

Chapter 151

Hathaway thought Jeremiah was being totally ridiculous.

“Ugh, what a dirty–minded guy, she thought. ‘So what if he broke up? Does he seriously think I’d want a guy who’s been sleeping with Jessica for three years?”

Even though she was cursing him out in her head, Hathaway didn’t dare say anything out loud.

She didn’t have her phone or any cash on her. If she really pissed him off, she’d have to walk home in the middle of the night.

Hathaway’s eyes instinctively darted past him to the waiters behind, wondering if she could ask them for some cash for a cab.

The waiters were all staring at her, too.

They thought the girl who’d booked out the place tonight was drop–dead gorgeous. She wasn’t wearing any makeup, but she was so stunning.

Jeremiah took in every bit of Hathaway’s restless gaze and asked in a low, icy voice, “What are you looking at them for?”

Hathaway snapped back at the sound of his voice, looked up at him, and could only explain, “Nothing is going on between Calvin and me. No need for you two to break up then.”

Jeremiah didn’t say a word. He pulled out his phone, turned the screen toward her, and played a video. The footage showed her eagerly throwing herself into Calvin’s arms, looking absolutely delighted.

Hathaway looked a little embarrassed as she explained, “Calvin lent me 15 million dollars before. I was really grateful and thought he was a stand–up guy, so I hugged him to show my appreciation.”

Jeremiah’s eyes flickered with a faint, unreadable smile. “So you were always burning through cash like that? Couldn’t make ends meet? Didn’t your brother give you an allowance?”

Jeremiah had heard rumors that Hathaway had sold off her prized collection of designer bags and jewelry

But he never imagined she’d be so strapped for cash she had to borrow from others to survive, “What exactly were you spending all that money on?” he asked.

Hathaway took a sip of her drink, avoided his gaze, and said with a casual tone. “Why do you need to know all that?”

Tm trying to figure our your spending habits. Gotta see if I can actually afford to support post Jeremial

Teased.

If Hathway hard heard those words three years ago, she wouldve been so theif she couldn’t sleep a wink. But now, her heart was complexity numb.

To not spending money soymore. I’ve started liking nerdy guy who don’t have a dine to their name. Maybe I’ll give you a shit whom you’re flat broke, she said

Jeremiah’s face darkened. “So, someone like Zachary?”

“Yeah. Hathaway nodded.

Jeremiah smirked. “With one guy after another, you really are quite the flirt, huh?”

“As long as I’m not flirting with you, it’s fine,” Hathaway said, resting her hands on her knees. “Can we go home

now?”

As she finished speaking, fireworks exploded outside the window.

It was already midnight.

Hathaway quietly gazed out the window, her hair falling in soft waves around her shoulders, her eyes sparkling like stars, her skin softer than silk and glowing. Jeremiah watched her for as long as she watched the fireworks.

His eyes were totally unreadable, not a hint of emotion.

After the fireworks ended, Jeremiah said softly, “Close your eyes. I want to give you a present.

“I don’t need a kiss,” Hathaway said bluntly.

“Keep dreaming. It’s jewelry,” Jeremiah replied.

The waiters were quietly chuckling, but it didn’t seem like they meant any harm.

Hathaway awkwardly looked away, still insisting, “I don’t need it.”

She glanced at the jewelry boxes the waiters were holding so carefully. Those necklaces were seriously flashy some so eye–catching that they didn’t bother opening the boxes.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to go home? If you want to leave, then do as I say, Jeremiah coaxed. Tll help you put it on, or you can pick one piece to wear.”

“Only one piece of jewelry?” Hathaway asked.

“Yeah,” Jeremiah replied.

Hathaway closed her eyes.

As soon as she closed her eyes, she felt Jeremiah get up from across the table and head over to the waiters. Everyone suddenly sprang into action.

At this point, Hathaway could barely resist the urge to peek.

“Don’t open your eyes. Don’t ruin it now, a few more seconds.” Jeremiah said.

Hathaway kept her eyes shut, feeling Jeremiah’s arms around her as something cold and delicate was gently placed on her wrist.

She didn’t have time to think about it.

Jeremiah said, “You can open your eyes now.”

Hathaway opened her eyes, still a little out of it, and found Jeremiah’s handsome face right in front of her.

He brushed a quick kiss against the corner of her mouth.

Hathaway shoved him away, her eyes dropping to her wrist.

As soon as she saw it was a rose quartz bracelet, she shot up from his lap like she’d touched fire, shaking her wrist hard. The bracelet slipped off, the little stones skittering across the floor with a soft clatter.

This isn’t mine, Hathaway almost let it slip. Luckily, she kept her mouth shut.

When Hathaway met his sharp eyes, a chill ran through her. Her first instinct was to shake it off, and now there was no way to take it back.

Hathaway gripped the edge of the table, putting some distance between them. “It was so ugly.”

Jeremiah’s eyes were like a bottomless abyss as he stared at her. “Was it really that ugly?”

Hathaway nodded. “Nothing in my jewelry box is that ugly.”

Jeremiah stared at her, unblinking.

His gaze was so intense that Hathaway felt like she could barely breathe.

Hathaway lowered her eyes and said, “I’m going home. If you don’t want to take me, I’ll grab a cab.”

Avery’s definitely waiting for me at home anyway, she thought. Tll pound on the door and make Avery pay for my cab fare

With that in mind, Hathaway didn’t stick around. She turned and walked out.

As she was about to reach the door, a strong hand suddenly clamped around her wrist.

In the next instant, she was pinned hard against the cold wall, and a dominant hungry is claimed her lips. so rough that he bit her, the taste of blood spreading cross her mouth
