"Oh, it's nothing! Anyway, I also just had—"
A close call.
She almost blurted out the remaining words.
Felicity quickly coughed twice, shifting her gaze, "Err, what I meant was... I just got my period yesterday, so I'm in the safe zone, no chance of pregnancy!"
"Who said the safe zone is completely safe?" He was evidently prepared, "I've looked it up. It just reduces the probability of getting pregnant, but it's not impossible."
Miles explained it as if he was giving a lecture.
"Are you serious? You looked this up?"
It was hard for her to imagine him scrolling through his phone, researching this kind of information.
Miles, the heir to the Lopez Corporation, currently the CEO of both companies! Saying he's worth billions is no exaggeration.
Yet here he was, with his status, with that handsome face, playing the "only you" card!
Even going as far as to be "the other man"!
Ridiculous, truly ridiculous.
"Because I figured you'd say that."
"..."
"I think my excuse, um... reason, is quite solid. Even your parents and mine would agree with me."
Felicity immediately shook her head, "My parents wouldn't!"
"Let's go ask them then."
He said as he started to pull her with him.
Frightened, Felicity quickly broke free, "Miles, I think you're not being rational!"
"Yes, ever since I came back from Anglonia, I haven't been myself."
At that moment, he seemed to have a devil-may-care attitude.
This was what Felicity feared the most! Because she really couldn't do anything about him.
After racking her brain, she had to bring up Calvin as a shield, "No way, I really like Calvin, I can't betray him! He's waiting for me over there!"
"Then I'll just have to tell Calvin about last night. I have good friends in Anglonia too, who could help me deliver the message to Calvin's place."
"Ugh, are you threatening me?"
Miles smiled, his eyes lighting up with amusement.
"Alright, then I'll wait for you."
He received a provisional answer, at least there was room for negotiation.
Pressuring Felicity needed to be done carefully, with time.
After leaving the K&J Mansion, Miles got into his car and immediately received a call from Aurora.
"Bro, where you at?"
"Felicity's."
"Oh?" Aurora's voice rose in pitch, "You two... still have a chance?"
Considering how they were ignoring each other at dinner last night, she thought it was completely over.
"There's definitely a chance."
"Bro, I'm kinda curious about your plan."
Miles smirked, his gaze returning to the grand entrance of the K&J Mansion, "Nothing much, just completely abandoning all sense of decency."

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
