Rules of Engagement novel Chapter 4

Soren glanced at her again. She was still in a professional suit even it was late at night. Her hair was well-coiffed and it was easy to tell that she didn't sleep well and she was a little tired.

"How about buy me a cup of coffee?" Soren said with a smile.

Hearing that, Elsa was stunned for a while. "Okay, at any time." She said.

Mr. Wu also smiled, but then he said to Greenwood, who was in great pain, "Mr. Li was injured..."

Mr. Wu was a little worried about his injury. Although Greenwood and Elsa had made a mistake, but he was badly beaten by Soren.

"I'm alright, forget it. I'm just out of luck." As long as the problem was solved, Greenwood thought that it was better for everything to be written off. He was really afraid of being sent to the police station by Soren. If the police called his school, his job of a gym teacher which he gained difficultly would be ruined.

He didn't want to stay here to have more trouble. Last night, he went out for wool and came home shorn. He was a little angry and didn't have the mood to make love with Elsa any more. He planned to ask her to end the engagement as soon as possible. This could be an excuse for him to explode.

When they walked out of the manager's office, Greenwood put his hand on Elsa's shoulder. Elsa instinctively felt disgusted and uncomfortable about everything he did tonight. The longer she stayed with him, the more restless she grew.

She tried her best to hold back her feelings. Although this man was not responsible for her, she could take responsibility of herself. The marriage was arranged because they were matched in every aspect.

As soon as she stepped out of the door, a voice resounded in the room. "Miss Xia, how are you going to treat me with coffee?"

Hearing that, Elsa was stunned again. She turned and saw Soren. "Do you know my name and contact?" Soren asked, shaking his head with a smile.

"Well... I ignored it. Sorry. " Elsa smiled with a little embarrassment. This was not in accordance with her usually serious character. "Please tell me your number. I'll take it down."

She took out her phone.

"Better tell me yours." Soren said.

Greenwood's heart was filled with outrage after being beaten by Soren. 'How can Elsa still treat this man with a smiling face in front of me?' He thought to himself and roughly interrupted them. "Can you stop doing this, Elsa? We have other things to do now."

Elsa frowned slightly, which was caught by Soren right away. He smiled and looked at Greenwood. "The date of Mr. Li won't start until noon. It's still early. Why are you in such a hurry to pick up the headmaster's daughter?"

Confusedly, Elsa turned to look at Greenwood. When she saw his sudden change of facial expression, she had a hunch of discomfort.

"What's more, Mr. Li took off all his clothes and got on my bed last night. It seems that your coat and trousers are still in my room." Soren continued.

"You!" Elsa turned and glared at Greenwood with anger.

"Aren't we going to get married?" Greenwood tried to defend himself, as he felt embarrassed to see her being furious about him in public.

The smile on Soren's face disappeared. He said seriously, "Mr. Li, how could you still lie to her? Mr. Wu, let's go out first."

Mr. Wu was confused but said nothing. He followed Soren out.

"It's okay. You can leave first. I'll wait here for a while." Soren said to Mr. Wu.

"Please feel free here. If you need anything, please call me at any time." Mr. Wu handed over his business card and left.

Whispers and sounds of suppressed quarrel came from the room. Soren kept dialing and deleting numbers on the phone. Finally, there was nothing left on the screen.

Suddenly, a slap was heard inside the room. Then, Greenwood rushed out. He threw a resentful look at Soren before he left in an awkward way.

Elsa didn't know how she felt at this time. With no need to get married now, she took a long sigh of relief, as if she had removed a heavy load off her chest, and her whole body was relaxed. When she slapped Greenwood, she felt angry not because he backed out their engagement, but because he took away her room card and sneaked into her room at midnight.

She didn't expect that Greenwood was such a despicable and shameless person. Even if he didn't ask her to end their relationship, she had to reconsider it.

Three month ago, Elsa met Greenwood again after high school. After visiting her father, who fell ill at that time, she came back to Linchuan City from her hometown. And she took the bus instead of driving by herself. Greenwood was also on that bus. They talked about their high school life and the embarrassment of going home for blind date. This trip made them feel cordial.

It was Greenwood who suggested going out with her on the premise of getting married. At that time, Elsa was also anxious about marriage, so she agreed. After they set the relationship, the Li family began to urge them to get married. After all, Greenwood was two years older than Elsa, so they couldn't wait any longer for him to marry Elsa.
