Chapter 148
I turned my head to look and saw a car coming towards me slowly . The headlights were off and the car just slowly inched towards me . _
With the dim street lights , the dark shadows from the trees , and this strange car … It would be strange if I was n’t afraid . So , I ran away . Unfortunately , the sound of the car ‘s engine continued behind me ; it was n’t even very farnot even close . What ‘s going on ? I was so nervous my heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest . So I broke into a run and grabbed my phone to call for help . Before I could make a call , the car stopped .by my side . As the car windows rolled down , Henriques stuck his head out the window and looked at me with a smile that did n’t reach his eyes .
Holding my phone , I looked at it blankly . _ Didn’t he say he sent the message to the wrong person ? So why did he show up here ?
“ Aren’t you going to come in ? Otherwise , I ‘ m leaving . ”
I was tempted to decline your offer . However , I was afraid that he might actually leave . _ _ _ _ So I opened the car door and got in .
“ Where is your home ? ”
So I gave him the address and he started driving . _ _ As soon as I started to relax , my heartbeat finally started . started to subside and I asked him in a hoarse voice : “ Why did n’t you turn on the headlights ? that was so scary“.
“ Are n’t you supposed to be brave ? he snorted . _
“ Who said that ? ” I was so scared that I almost fainted now !
“ If you ‘re not brave , then why dare you feed me something spicy ? _ _ _ ”
Is this his revenge on me for giving him that shrimp now ? _ I looked at Henriques in surprise ; I was in complete disbelief that he would actually say something like that with such confidence . They say a good man doesn’t pick a fight with a woman . it isIs it really okay for him to be so petty ?
Noticing that I was looking at him , he returned the look . His gaze did n’t avoid mine , it went straight and met mine head on with confidence . “ What are you looking at ? Have you never seen a handsome man before ? ”
At that moment , I felt my outlook on life turned upside down again . Is it really this indifferent and inaccessible president , Henriques Ribeiro ? Why do I get the feeling he ‘s more of a monkey – sent joke ? _ Despite having these _thoughts , I dared not voice them aloud . _ _ Instead I said good – naturedly , “ It was an accident . _ _ It was n’t intentional ” .
“ Still denying ? There were so many other dishes on the table that were n’t spicy ; why did you have to pick the one that was spicy and serve it to me ? I can’t believe he ‘s still thinking about this !
Blushing , I said , ” Hmm … that was because that dish was closest to me . ” _ _
“ Really ? _ I’m pretty sure the dish right in front of you was n’t the prawns . Henriques ‘ keen observation skills were something I had experienced before . _ _ _ _ The incident involving the business cards was an example .. _
Still , I ca n’t tell him it ‘s because I went online to research his favorite foods and that ‘s why I chose that dish , right ? _ Am I not just giving myself away ?
When he saw that I didn’t respond , he assumed that I had agreed . Thus , he mocked : “ I never imagined that your love was so strong ! ”
