Gordon turned around and saw Isabella’s calm
expression. He shrugged and suddenly aimed the
pressure washer gun at her. “We’ll call it even if you

let me shoot you with this. How about that?”
With an ambiguous expression, he deliberately
emphasized certain words, making his implication
very clear.

The few mechanics nearby kept glancing their way,
clearly enjoying the show.
Isabella was dressed professionally, and it would
definitely reveal her figure underneath it once her
outfit got wet.
“You mean we’ll call it even once you shoot me with
the pressure washer gun?” She pretended not to
understand and looked up at Gordon with innocent
eyes. Her gaze made Gordon’s heart itch.

Surprise flashed in Gordon’s eyes as he tilted
backward. “Yes.”

“Okay.” Isabella walked to an open space in front of
the shop’s door, holding her bag in front of her. “Go
ahead. Shoot.”
She was so calm about it that it made Gordon
hesitate and suddenly didn’t know where to aim
the gun.
“Mr. Dunkstein, don’t chicken out.”
“It’s just one shot, so don’t miss it, or you’ll regret it.”
The Voices coming from around them were filled
with playful banter. They encouraged Gordon and
forced him into a position where he had no choice

but to fire the gun.
“Shut up, all of you!” Gordon snapped, then pointed
the gun at Isabella. Though he didn’t specifically
aim at any particular spot, his earlier inappropriate
thoughts suddenly dissipated, especially when
meeting Isabella’s pristine eyes.
Damn it! He cursed inwardly, then pressed the
trigger.
The pressure washer gun was too powerful, and
the jet of water it produced could scale a fish, let
alone how painful it would feel when hitting a
person.
Just as Gordon pressed the trigger, Isabella
screamed and covered her head while crouching

down.
As soon as Gordon heard the scream, he wasn’t
even sure if he had hit her but quickly dropped the
water gun.
Isabella’s hair was drenched, and she sat on the
ground, her face ghastly pale.
The onlookers fell silent. Someone whispered, “I
think it hit her head.”
“Her head?” Gordon was also alarmed and helped
Isabella up. “Are you okay?”
Isabella shook her head, looking dazed. “I’m fine.”
Her voice was hoarse, clearly indicating how
frightened she had been

frightened she had been.
Gordon regretted it immensely, thinking that he
shouldn’t have played such a joke on her. Then, he
pulled her to the car. “Let’s go to the hospital and
get a full check–up done on you.”
Isabella was pulled away, and though her voice
was trembling as she rejected Gordon’s help, her
eyes were clear as water. Just now, she deliberately
squatted down so that she wouldn’t get hit by the
water pressure gun. Even the water that dampened
her hair was water droplets that fell after the gun
missed its aim.
Without thinking too much about it, Gordon picked
Isabella up in his arms and placed her in the
