"Aah!" Aiden let out an involuntary yell when she was caught off guard with the poke.
She then lightly smacked Daniel, chiding him with a smile, "Naughty!"
"Do you want these herbs or not?" Daniel jestingly pressed.
"Get lost! You wish!" Aiden retorted.
"Am I not just asking for a few worthless herbs? You have taken my Blood Ganoderma and the Millennium Spirit Root from me, yet you can’t even part with a couple of ordinary, valueless herbs? Are you really going to be like that?"
"You want the herbs?"
"What else? Do you think it's you that I want?"
"I... you..."
Realizing what she had said, Aiden quickly snapped, "You jerk!"
"Why am I a jerk now? It’s you who are letting your imagination run wild, desperately seeking me but unable to get me. You accuse me? It seems to me, you’ve been single too long and are yearning for a man. The moment you see me, you can't help but fantasize about us together. You've even stopped listening to what I've been saying."
"Even if I wanted a man, it wouldn't be you! No! Why would I want a man? I could just make a phone call and have a bunch coming over!"
With that, Aiden glanced at Daniel, then took the list of herbs from his paper and gave him the herbs he had written down.
"Take these and get lost! Just looking at you annoys me!"
"Goodbye, Aiden! If one day you feel lonely, you can look for me. I can't promise I'll be available at the drop of a hat, but I could still certainly keep you company if I'm free."
"I wouldn't want to see you even if I were looking for a dog! Idiot!"
"Aren’t you beautiful? Aren't you provocative? Look at what you're wearing! Why do you dress so sexily even during your period? Trying to seduce someone?"
"Not you! Country boy!"
Brittany rolled her eyes at Daniel and then planted her hands on her hips threateningly, "I’ll surely tell Jessica when I get back."
"Really? And what exactly will you tell her?"
"You skip work to flirt, seduce a beautiful female boss, and then hand over treasures worth billions! Any one of your actions is enough to ensure an ugly ending for you."
Just then, a two-toned Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up. The door opened, and a stunningly beautiful woman appeared before them—none other than his mother-in-law, Avery.
Avery gazed coldly at Daniel and commanded, "Get in the car!"
