When Anne walked towards Kevin, he grinned jauntily and whispered in her ear in a low attractive voice,
"Anne, I suggest you not to go against me, because you don't have the qualification."
Kevin's arrogant tone conveyed disdain. It must be a piece of cake for him to get any woman he wanted.
Anne clenched her fist and tried to hold back her anger. She knew that in this man's eyes, she was nothing but someone he could just play with. He would never take her seriously and that was an absolute reality.
"Kevin, it's getting late. Let's get in the car."
Cherry didn't want him to give much attention to Anne, so she held his arm tightly and tried to get his attention.
"Okay, get in the car." Kevin smiled sweetly and opened the door for her. He was always a gentleman to Cherry.
Sitting silently at the back seat, Anne looked at Cherry's hand that was holding Kevin's. She felt a little sad for herself. Thinking of how Kevin treated her just now, she was very upset.
When they arrived at the cinema, the director and the staff were already waiting outside. As soon as they saw Kevin's car, they rushed over to welcome him, as if he was a celebrity.
"Mr. Kevin, we're glad that you are finally here. We have prepared everything well for you," The director said respectfully and looked at Kevin with a dazzling eyes.
"Okay," Kevin replied coldly without even laying his eyes to the director.
"Mr. Kevin, what can I do for you? I'll send someone to prepare whatever you need." The director still tried to catch Kevin up as he walked away from him.
"None, thanks." Holding Cherry's hand, Kevin proceeded into the cinema and completely ignored the director.
Anne felt like she was some kind of a third wheel as she followed behind the two.
When they came in the cinema room, Anne sat behind Kevin and Cherry. She didn't want to keep a close distance to them.
"Anne, why are you sitting so far away? Do I look like I'm gonna eat you?" Kevin turned to Anne who was behind him and spoke in an irritated tone.
He could clearly sense that this woman was deliberately distancing herself from him since the moment they arrived at the cinema.
"I'm afraid that I might ruin the moment between you two." After casting a glance at Kevin, Anne shifted her gaze to the screen.
"Sit in the front!" Kevin said indignantly and pointed at the seat beside him.
"I don't want!" Anne retorted without hesitation.
Kevin's face darkened when she rejected him. This woman did nothing but refuse him over and over.
"Anne!" Kevin blustered and looked at her sharply. Anne clearly felt the tension in the air.
Cherry rolled her eyes on the two. Anne already ruined her moment with Kevin. Although he held her in his arms, his attention was all drawn to Anne.
"Kevin, don't force her anymore. She had always wanted to be alone, just let her be."
She didn't want to let Anne seat beside Kevin because he would just turn his attention to her even more.
Hearing Cherry's words, Kevin just furrowed his eyebrows and averted his eyes. He seemed to have given up.
"Well, let's begin!" Kevin raised his hand and ordered the attendant to play the movie. Afterwards, he made himself comfortable and put his arm on Cherry's shoulder.
Anne looked at the wide screen quietly and tried to ignore the couple in front of her.
However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't help but look at them. She would never enjoy a movie with these people.
Cherry took a popcorn from the bucket and offered it to Kevin intimately. He smiled and kissed her.
Anne tried so much to ignore them, but they were so insensitive to display their affection knowing that she was behind them.
"Kevin, don't do this. Anne is still here,"
Cherry talked as if she was shy for what Kevin just did in front of Anne. However, Anne would never be deceived by those hypocritical looks of Cherry. Of course she knew that Cherry loved how Kevin displayed his affection.
Ignoring such provocation of Cherry, Anne just shifted her eyes to the wide screen and continued watching.
She doubted whether Kevin just made out with Cherry because he didn't care about her presence at all, or he really did it on purpose.
"Why are you still sitting there? Get out of here!" Kevin said in a rude tone. The displeasure on his face was obvious.
Anne looked at him in shock. He regretted that she had come with them. She had too much and couldn't stand for more. This man was so foolish to restrict her from seeing other men when it was him who kept on doing such thing.
