Rufus' eyes dimmed slightly and he smiled. "It's okay. We'll be familiar if we talk more, right?"
Arya ignored him and wanted to leave, but he grabbed her arm. "Don't leave. Why don't we find a place to have a chat?"
"We have nothing to talk about. Leave me alone!" Arya said coldly.
Rufus didn't let go, as if he hadn't heard what Arya said. "Harriet is your sister, right? She is my ex-girlfriend. Now Xavier is awake, but can he still satisfy you in bed?"
Arya slapped him in the face and said angrily, "Watch your language!"
Rufus had never been slapped before, let alone slapped by a woman.
He stared at Arya grimly, "Do you know what you're doing?"
Arya met his gaze fearlessly. "Of course I know. Teach a satyr to be polite, is it wrong?"
Rufus narrowed his eyes. The more Arya was recalcitrant, the more interested he was in her. He had seen too many gentle and flattering women.
He dragged Arya into his arms and held her waist. "You know what? No woman has ever dared to slap me."
"Let me go!" Arya struggled in his arms and scolded him.
The more she struggled, the tighter Rufus held her.
"If you don't let go, I'll shout for help!" Arya was furious, but she didn't dare to make any big move. The doctor had told her that the abdominal pain was related to the instability of the fetus. So she was very careful and dared not to come into conflict with Rufus to protect the fetus.
"Mr. Gates, please let her go!" Jasper walked over and pulled Rufus away. "How dare you do this in public?"
Rufus sneered and looked at Jasper, "I'm sure I'm not as despicable as you are, who takes advantage of women."
There were not many people who knew about Jasper and Bridget's divorce, but Rufus knew it. Rufus knew the reason why Jasper married Bridget was that he wanted to take advantage of Henry's status to gain promotion.
That's why he divorced Bridget as soon as he was promoted to deputy director.
Smart as Xavier, how could he allow Jasper to take advantage of Bridget?
Rufus was curious about this.
Many people gathered, stopped to watch them, and wondered if they were putting on an affair. They were all influential people. If they were watched by those with bad intentions, fake gossips could be made up.
So Rufus let go of Arya.
Jasper understood what Rufus meant and grabbed his collar. "What did you say?"
"Listen carefully. You got your status by utilizing a woman. Without Bridget, can you get the same position today?"
Arya dragged Jasper away, "Let's go."
She pulled Jasper.
Rufus tidied up the wrinkles on his collar and looked at Arya and Jasper's back. He smiled, seeming to have found something.
After walking for a while, Arya let go of Jasper, "Thank you for helping me just now."
After that, Arya walked away quickly. Jasper caught up with her, "I'll send you back."
"No, thanks."
Arya refused decisively. She wanted to avoid misunderstandings.
Jasper's face darkened, "We've known each other for four years. Even if we're not lovers now, can't we be friends anymore?"
He had a hard time recently. When he overheard about Arya's pregnancy from Orlando, he knew that Arya and he couldn't get together again.
