Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 55

After getting into the car, Rachel inadvertently looked at the man beside her.

He sat there gracefully with crossed legs, a straightened upper body, and his hands on his lap. The dim light illuminated his delicate face, of which the fine outline was even more indistinct, making it attractive, charismatic, and mysterious. It was an indescribable feeling. After a long time, she suddenly said, “Thank you for what you just did.”

Even if David didn’t give her a hand just now, she could still have solved that issue, but the man in front of Rachel had shown his kindness, so she had no reason to refuse it.

David turned his head and looked at her with his eyes full of carelessness and sloppiness. “That’s all?”

Rachel froze momentarily and was surprised at his rudeness, but she immediately realized that the verbal thanks made her seem a bit insincere. “Then what do you want?”

David stared at Rachel, his dark eyes unblinking while tenderly stroking her face with his fingertips. “You know what I want.”

Slowly rippling in the small space inside the car, his low and attractive voice was as heart–stopping as a cello’s bass strings.

The moment she saw his gaze, Rachel immediately looked away in haste as if she had been. electrocuted by his eyes.

She pursed her lips lightly and was a little flustered, with her eyelashes fluttering. “As a gentleman, you should not ask for more when I am in trouble.”

“But compared to an extremely hypocritical gentleman, I think I would rather choose to be a heinous villain.” David picked up a strand of soft hair on her shoulder with his hand. deliberately lowered his

voice, and viciously teased Rachel in her ear. “I have much patience, but it will disappear sooner or later. Besides, you have no idea how attractive you are to me.”

David brought her hair up to his nose for a quick sniff, then slowly moved it down. Finally, his kiss fell on the strand of her soft hair.

Seeing this scene, Rachel felt as if she was suffocating and blushed for no reason.

She pulled back her hair angrily, took a deep breath to adjust her emotions, and, while pretending to be calm, asked, “Are you threatening me?”

“No. It’s a confession. I just can’t wait any longer.” David stared at Rachel unblinking, with his Adam’s apple quivering and his gaze becoming more and more meaningful.

From the first time he met Rachel, David couldn’t help but have a strong interest in the woman before him. He always thought that no matter what happened, everything would be under his control. However, the fact was that this woman could easily undermine the self–control that he was very much proud of.

David had deliberately tried to flirt with her, but at this time, he seemed to have made things difficult for himself.

David sat in his seat again and took a deep breath to suppress the restlessness in his mind.

“Treat me to dinner next time, okay?”

Rachel secretly breathed a sigh of relief. “Sure.”

After she finished speaking, there was a brief silence in the car.

The silence lasted until Rachel’s cell phone rang suddenly. She picked up the phone, and Mary’s voice came from it to Rachel’s ear. “Rae, you impress me so much these days! You really should teach that bitch a lesson!”

Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly. “Has it gone viral on the Internet?”

Olivia’s identity alone could attract many people, not to mention she was screaming so miserably at that time. It might be that some curious onlookers around have uploaded some videos to the Internet, even though it could cause an uproar.

Mary took a sip of coffee, seeming to be entirely used to it. “Nowadays, everything in this world can go viral on the Internet, let alone Olivia, one of the hottest stars in showbiz. After a video like that was uploaded and widely spread, it surely sparked a buzz, but no matter how things went, it is clear that she was at fault first. I think she is very nervous at the moment because all related posts are gone now.”

Rachel pursed her lips. “Don’t worry. I can fix it.”

“This bitch has been against you since she came back, so I think she won’t give up so easily!” Mary anxiously and repeatedly reminded Rachel. “Be careful when you go out the next few days. Her stupid fans may be out of their minds and do something crazy.” Rachel showed a cold and ironic smile on her crimson lips. “That is exactly what I want.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
