Thank goodness, no one was around!
If someone had overheard, I'd have had to leave Earth that very night!
Richard pried my hand away and pinned me against the wall, not forgetting to squeeze my waist.
"It's not about that. Is it that I wasn't good enough last night, so you're out for revenge?"
My face instantly turned crimson!
"Shut up! One more word and I'll sue you for slander!" How could Richard say something so embarrassing out loud?
Flustered, I suddenly remembered the black card I received today and quickly straightened up, saying sternly, "I'm a person with principles. Since I've accepted money from Mrs. Yukio, I'll definitely get the job done!"
Richard's expression grew more and more strange.
A bad feeling crept into my mind...
"Son, I gave your wife a card earlier as a meeting gift, but she took it, said a lot of strange things, and ran off. I couldn't catch up with her."
As soon as the voice message on his phone ended, an awkward silence filled the air.
Richard calmly pocketed his phone and pinched my cheek. "Miss Nina, you shouldn't take money without doing your part, you know that, right?"
I was dumbfounded! How did things turn out like this?
"Um..." I tried to speak, my voice weak. "Here's the card back. Can we still break up?"
But before he could answer, Richard's stomach growled.
I had witnessed the most embarrassing moment in a CEO's life. No more questions needed, I ran upstairs immediately!
"I'm going to take a shower. I'll make something for you to eat later!" I shouted as I dashed away, trying to save his dignity.
I leaned against the door, gasping for air. I'd done too much to protect the CEO's perfect image.
I wiped the sweat from my forehead and went to the closet for clothes.
As soon as I opened it, I was shocked—it was completely empty!
Seriously? All I did was throw a dress in a fit of passion yesterday.
Why was everything gone?
That sly Richard—he may have said we weren't breaking up, but he'd already cleared out all my stuff!
Ugh, men!
I looked around and finally found a school uniform, probably overlooked when packing up.
My luggage was still at the police station as evidence, and I wouldn't get it back until tomorrow. My current clothes were too dirty to sleep in, so I had no choice but to wear this uniform.
When I went downstairs, I found Richard already cooked, as he came out of the kitchen.
