You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 701

Michelle asked permission to leave the club for a moment. She would just come back again before two o'clock in the afternoon. She walked and chatted with Leon for a long time, almost forgetting about the passing hours. By the time she realized she had to go back, she knew that taking the subway now would be a bad idea. She decided to take a taxi instead.

As she was about to hail one, a black car stopped in front of her. It looked so high-end that she was sure that its fare wouldn't be cheap at all.

"Mimi." Colby's cheery voice came right out of the car.

'It's him and this car again.' Leon frowned.

Michelle seemed surprised. "Colby? What a coincidence!"

"This is no coincidence, Michelle. I'm here to pick you up." Colby got out of the car and walked around it. He greeted Leon politely, and then smiled warmly at Michelle. "You're going back to the club, right? Let me drive you there."

"Are you going there, too?" Michelle asked in confusion.

"Yes, I'll drive you there." Colby opened the door to the front passenger seat and tilted his head at her, indicating that she should get in the car.

Opening her mouth, Michelle was about to say something, but then Leon pulled her behind him and smiled. "There's no need for you to drive her there. I will accompany her myself."

"Really, Leon? Are you going to accompany me back to the club?" Michelle was happy to learn that she could stay a little longer with Leon. "Thank you for your offer, Colby, but I can just take a taxi with Leon."

"Oh, it's no trouble for me. I'm actually going there to look for Austin. It would a waste of money if you take a taxi with Leon. My car is a better option. Leon, actually you don't have to accompany Michelle if you trust me," Colby said.

"No, I don't trust you. She's still young. She can easily be deceived," Leon said in a flat tone.

Colby smiled awkwardly, looking quite embarrassed. "Then why not join us then, Leon? Come on, Mimi. Get in the car."

The door to the front passenger seat was still open. It was obviously for Michelle, but Leon quickly went in first.

Colby was stunned.

"Sit in the back seat, Michelle." Leon had begun fastening his seat belt as if nothing had happened.

"Okay," Michelle said sweetly.

Michelle opened the car door at the back and got in. Colby found himself a bit disappointed by the turn of events, but he didn't let that flag down his confidence. He smiled instead and closed the door for Leon.

Once the car was back on the road, Leon spoke again. "Colby, what did you just call Michelle?"

"Mimi." Even though Leon had already threatened him last time, Colby was still brave enough to call her like that. "She allowed me to call her Mimi. I'm used to addressing her in this way, and I don't plan on changing it any time soon. Is that okay, Mimi?"

Colby leaned back in his seat, hoping to get closer to Michelle in this way.

Leon glanced at Michelle. 'Refuse him!' he prayed inwardly.

But as luck would have it, things often went against his wishes. As sunny as ever, Michelle said, "It's alright with me."

"I see, Mimi." Colby drummed his fingers on the steering wheel. He didn't bother hiding the deepening smile on his face.

This created a funny scene inside the car where one man was cheerful while the other was grumpy. Leon's face darkened as he looked out of the window. He didn't bother saying anything else anymore.

"Mimi, you and Austin are friends, right? I actually grew up with him, so we are also friends. Is your birthday coming soon?" Colby asked while driving.

"Yes. How do you know that? Did Austin tell you?" Michelle asked in surprise.

"Yes." Actually, he tricked Austin into telling him the truth. Austin had been secretly preparing for her birthday party.

Colby said with a smile, "We are friends now, so I also have a birthday present for you. I think you will like it."

"A gift? What is it?" Of course, every girl wanted to receive gifts on her birthday. Michelle was no exception to this.
