Sold to Mr. Arrogant novel Chapter 70

" You are aware that you are restricting my movement, right? If I screamed, everyone would point at you negatively so why don't you let me leave now while I am asking gently." I started.

" I can ask them all to leave right this moment, this restaurant is mine you see, also I would like to hear your screams," he smirked.

" I just want to know why were you asking around about the CEO, what is your goal?" he added.

I have to come up with an excuse if I want to get out of this situation.

" I Love you," I shouted covering my face with both my hands acting shyly.

" I am sorry I acted this suspiciously causing you to misunderstand my pure-hearted intention. I can be stupid at times." I giggled still covering my face.

" Ha-Ha... You are so funny."

He laughed for a while which made me feel at ease.

" Do you think, I would believe that?"

This is not working... The waiter soon came back with a new dish also serving Sergio's meal and his subordinate's.

I felt my phone ringing, it was 8 pm already, I checked the caller's identity and it was Shawn. I have to answer him if I did not want him to track me here, I do not know why is this getting complicated.

" Look, sir. I really mean you no harm, I just wanted to get a look at the man whom I have feelings for from a close distance. I am sorry if I caused you any discomfort," I clarified as I got up to take my leave.

His subordinate got up, tried to stop me but I dodged his hand kicking him in the abdomen as I ran as fast as I could down the stairs to the ground floor. I heard Siergo telling his man to not pursue me.

I called Shawn back as soon as I reached the lobby.

" Why weren't you answering?" he asked.

" I am sorry, I was in the toilet."

" Where are you? I will come to fetch you."

" No need, I have already ridden a taxi, I will be there in a few minutes." I lied.

I quickly grabbed a taxi and in a flash, I reached the mansion, I wasn't that far away thankfully. I made a decision in those few minutes though, it seems that Gerald is trying to use me. I will have to ask him directly to end all this mess I am in. I will try to act meek if things went south with Gerald but in reality, I have secured my escape, Tony will help me as well.

" Why were you late?" Shawn who was standing behind the front gate of the mansion asked me.

" I visited places that I used to frequent with mom when she was alive, I was reminiscing old days that I lost track of the time." I lied again, I felt pressured whenever I did this with Shawn.

" Okay, go up and rest, we will talk tomorrow," he instructed.

I headed up not to rest but to speak with Gerald.

"I have something to tell you, sir." I began.
