Chapter 79: ARE YOU CRAZY?
Hailee lunch was roasted chicken with walnuts, and ate only half of it while she spent her time eating sulkily. She hadn't said a single word since they left Ramon's office.
"When you take me out to lunch, I expect us to go to an expensive restaurant, which is at least two kilometers away from your office, not the cafe inside your company building." Hailee frowned.
She had already picked out nice clothes to eat with Ramon, but this man only took her down eighteen floors and ordered this meal for her.
"You came late, my lunch hour is almost over." Ramon was casually eating his lunch, it was obvious that he wasn't really bothered about Hailee's grumbling since earlier.
"Lunch time?" Hailee half screamed in exasperation, while Ramon sipped his coffee. "You own this company and you still have lunch hour?"
What fool would believe those words?!
"Then what if I own this company? Not that I use my position to relax." Ramon glanced at Hailee, who was frowning from behind her coffee cup. Somehow feeling happy because it annoyed this girl.
In truth, Ramon had no intention of teasing her like this, but he found himself doing this again and again, and had his own satisfaction.
Hailee was an expressive girl and Ramon enjoyed every reaction and expression she showed. But, above all, he liked her annoyed expression the most.
And, because of his line of work along with the environment around him required him to have a poker face, there wasn't much emotion he could show, so watching the free nature that Hailee had displayed, was quite refreshing to him.
"I'm not asking you to take me to some island for this lunch, Mr. Tordoff," Hailee said sarcastically. "But at least we can eat somewhere other than in your company canteen."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I pay, so it's my prerogative to choose the place." Ramon put down his coffee and called the waitress to order mineral water.
Hearing that answer, Hailee stared at Ramon fiercely, the corners of her lips pulled into a thin line. Hailee's habit which she always did when she was holding back from saying something.
Ramon began to notice Hailee's little quirks. It felt easy to read her. She was just like an open book.
But, then Hailee gave up and returned to her sullen expression, she reached out with her palm that looked up.
Just then a waitress delivered a bottle of mineral water and put the empty glass on the table, then left.
"What?" Ramon asked suspiciously, pouring the mineral water into a glass.
"I'masking for money," Hailee said with a flat face. "I don't have a penny. Aren't you ashamed that your future wife doesn't have any money to even buy some underwear?"
Hearing Hailee's vulgar words in a public place, made Ramon widen his eyes in warning.
Ha haha…
Hailee laughed silently. It took two to tango! Feel it!
"I don't even have a bank account. All my cards are frozen by Aileen. That woman really is a snake!" Hailee said angrily.
"Danny will take care of that," said Ramon in a low voice, then took a sip of the mineral water.
"Then what about my money?" Hailee asked again with an innocent face. "You're going to take over my company, it's not fair if you don't give me a lot of monthly allowance."
Okay, at this point, Ramon took his words back. Hailee was not fun at all, this girl was just a headache.
"Stop talking about money," said Ramon irritably, he then put a black card on the table and pushed it closer to Hailee.
"Wow! A VIP card from Central bank?" Hailee exclaimed happily, but her smile suddenly vanished when she realized one thing.
Of course, Ramon would have this. He's one of the biggest shareholders there, so it shouldn't be unusual anymore.
"There's a restaurant I want to visit with you and it's only thirty minutes from here. "Hailee then slipped the card into the sling bag she was carrying, securing it, before Ramon changed his mind and took it again, although it was certain that it was impossible. "If you're not busy, I'll treat you to a meal sometime."
"A treat?" Ramon raised his eyebrows and smiled knowingly.
"Hey, I'll pay for the food later. It doesn't matter where the money comes from." Hailee took a sip of her avocado juice and smiled back at Ramon, which made the man laugh softly.
"I'mgoing back now," Ramon said, but Hailee held his hand. "What?"
Actually, Hailee wanted to ask about it later when they were home, it was just that she didn't want to wait and wanted to hear the certainty of the answer she wanted now.
"What?" Ramon sat back down and looked at Hailee calmly, as if he knew what this girl was struggling with.
"Was that woman your real lover?" Hailee finally asked. She didn't want to keep her curiosity any longer.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOn the other hand, Ramon had already guessed Hailee's question. "Yes," he replied briefly.
Hearing Ramon's honesty actually made Hailee speechless, she pulled her hand, which was holding Ramon,looking all gloomy.
Seeing this, Ramon said nothing more and waited for what Hailee would ask next.
"Is there anything I have to worry about?" Hailee's voice sounded low. She looked at Ramon carefully.
"What do you have to worry about?" Ramon asked with a frown.
Hailee sighed and leaned her back against the back of the chair. "You have been together for two years, the only thing that keeps you from being together is because you wanted my family company and that you had announced our marriage..."
Hailee fiddled with the spoon in her hand, it's clear that she's annoyed after meeting Ramon's real lover.
And not only that, Hailee agreed with Ramon's words that said that woman was much prettier than herself. Even though this fact was very annoying.
"No," Ramon said after seeing Hailee very disturbed after meeting Giana. "That's not my only reason."
"Then?" Hailee asked skeptically.
"Even if Idon't marry you, I won't be able to be with her." Ramon decided not to cover this up. "Because she is a married woman."
It took a full minute for Hailee to digest all of this and Ramon could see the change in the expression on the girl's face in front of him when she realized what his words actually meant.
"That means…" Hailee's voice rose in surprise, but seeing Ramon staring at her in warning, her voice turned into a whisper. "You're dating a woman who's been married for two years? Are you crazy?"
