"Get to the point!"
Emmett seemed to be impatient.
"Well, you have to go to the hotel and stay in the room with me for an hour."
"What are you talking about?"
Emmett was shocked. He sat up straight and stared at Marina.
His eyes were filled with contempt.
Marina bit her lips and said, "Don't look at me like that! I won't do anything to you. If so, you are still the one who takes the advantage. Look at you! Is it embarrassing for you to stay in a room with me?"
"I don't agree to do that." Emmett answered straightforwardly. He took out a cigarette, lit it and smoked slowly. He said, "Do you have anything else to tell me? If not, I'll take my leave first. You'd better make the announcement tomorrow."
Just as Emmett was about to leave, Marina stopped him and held his hand.
In a second, Emmett drew back his hand quickly and threw away Marina's hand.
"Emmett! Wait a moment! I have not finished my words yet!"
Emmett didn't want to listen anymore and was ready to leave. He glared at Marina with displeasure and said, "You've wasted a lot of my time."
"Emmett, listen to me. I don't mean anything else. I just want you to save face for me. We stay in a room for an hour, so that everybody knows we are getting on well with each other."
"Do we have to do that? You will make the announcement tomorrow anyway."
Emmett stared at her sharply.
"Yes, of course! If you treat me well, I won't be too embarrassed when I abandon you tomorrow. Otherwise, others will think it is you who abandon me instead."
Emmett was indifferent, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Marina continued, "We just stay for an hour. I promise that tomorrow, I will make the announce saying that I will break off the engagement because of personality clashes. Can't you do that for me now?"
Emmett smoked gracefully and spat out the smoke ring. "To be honest, I really don't want to do that."
Marina's face turned green. She gritted her teeth and said, "Alright then! I'll make an announcement tomorrow. I will tell everyone that the engagement will be broken off because you have fallen in love with a psychopath instead of personality clashes..."
"Shut up! Stop talking about nonsense, or you will be a dead!"
Emmett glared at her fiercely. He was furious.
Marina raised her chin and continued, "I've got nothing. I am not afraid of that! Just kill me!"
Emmett narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
He could kill Marina now and it was as easy as killing an ant to kill her for him.
However, if he killed her now, it would raise the public attention. Everyone would wonder why Emmett's fiancée disappeared.
Therefore, it was reckless and stupid to do it. Besides, it was not Emmett's style.
As long as Marina made the announcement, he could divert the public attention away from Marina. Even if Marina died miserably later, no one would pay attention to her.
"Okay, just one hour. You'd better not play any tricks. I hate those who disobey me."
Marina smiled at once.
That was what she wanted. As long as she could spend more time with him, it was easier to give him the last does of medicine.
"Emmett, thank you for saving face for me."
Marina smiled and said sweetly.
Emmett was not saving face for her. He stood up and said indifferently, "It is not for you, but for my woman."
He didn't want Elaine to be in the limelight.
Emmett had walked out of the room, and Marina hurried to catch up.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Marina nerved herself to hold Emmett's arm.
Emmett trembled and almost threw Marina out.
He hated direct contacts with women, especially the touches above waist!
***
Elaine was the exception of course!
"Go away, or I will throw you away!"
Marina curled her lips. She hesitated for a while and finally drew back her hand reluctantly, because she did not dare to anger him.
When she got close to Emmett, she could smell the fragrance on him, and she was intoxicated.
Marina trotted along to follow Emmett.
Elaine was in no mood to eat.
She lowered her head and kept thinking about the scene just now.
She was so depressed since Marina and Emmett were dating.
They were dating!
She was so angry!
She was going crazy!
But ... why was she so angry?
Elaine tried her best to think about the past, but she could think of nothing.
