252 Car Trouble
Xia Chu stormed out of the UDS embassy after creating a chaotic scene. She was escorted by some security official and a middle age administrator who kept pleading and trying to placate her.
“He hasn’t heard the last of me!” She swore between clenched jaws. “By the time I’m done dealing with him, he would wish his mother never gave birth to him!”
“Miss Chu, please!” The pot-bellied administrator clasped both hands while jogging after Xia to keep up with her fast-paced short strides. “The embarrassing slap you gave him back at the office in front of a lot of people is enough humiliation.”
“You call that humiliation!” Xia suddenly stopped on her track and spun around to face the administrator. Her narrowed hostile eyes were vengeful and deprived of joy.
The administrator sensing that the beautiful young girl was about to turn on him, quickly rephrased his statement.
“No! What I meant to say is that he deserves nothing less than ten head-spinning slaps. You were too merciful to him.”
“Yeah! Maybe you should receive the remaining nine slaps since you think I’m too merciful! Xia scowled before turning back in the direction of her car.
“Miss Chu, please, let us handle this issue amicably. You don’t have to take up this matter with your father or the prime minister. Many heads will roll if you do so. That fool made a stupid mistake. He had no idea who you were. But I promise you, today is his last day of working here at the embassy. Please!”
Xia stopped by her car and paused for a while as if she was considering the administrator’s offer.

“So, you are trying to tell me that the fool has been harassing young girls all this while and you have not done anything about it?” Her face scrunched into a fierce scowl.
“No m...”
“Shut the hell up and let me finish!” Xia snapped at the administrator, sending chills down his spine.
“Sorry, ma’am!” The administrator bowed his head in shame.
“If you had done your job properly, we won’t be here in the first place!” She sneered.
“You know what, I don’t have the energy or time to keep engaging a moron like you. As I said earlier, you all will hear from me.”
Xia hissed and got into her car. She turned on the ignition and roared the engine as a warning for the pleading administrator and security men to clear her path, before zooming off.
On her way to the hotel she was logged in; which was located on the outskirt of the city, her car started malfunctioning.
While she was messing around with some of the car control buttons in a bid to fix the problem, the engine made some funny noises and went silent. She was quick to pull out of the road before the car came to a halt.
“Shit!” Xia cursed angrily while striking the steering wheel multiple times in frustration.
“You can’t do this to me!” She felt like crying. “Not here! Not now!”
After ensuring that the car was locked and properly secured due to the loneliness of her surrounding, she picked up her phone and dialed the car company.
She was speaking to a front desk officer over the phone when she observed a black exotic sports car; which had speedily passed by some minutes ago, slowly reversing towards where she was parked.
Feeling slightly apprehensive, she hurriedly snatched her handbag from the back seat of the car and brought out a handgun which she always carried around for protection.
She rolled back her seat and leaned backward while checking the gun to be sure that it was loaded.
Just when she was about to reposition herself at a suitable aiming angle, a tall young man with a sexy athletic body build, stepped out of the black car. There was something familiar about him but she couldn’t tell who he was as he was still backing her.
As if the young man could read her thoughts from afar, he slowly turned around and walked towards her car.
“Isn’t that Mr. Leon Treshvire?” Xia’s eyes almost bulge out as she gawked at him admiring his masculine cuteness in his perfect outfit.
The last time she saw him, he was professionally dressed in a well-tailored suit. But to see him now, looking all casual and elegant was breathtaking.
Leon was simply dressed in a sky blue shirt; with neatly but stylishly rolled up sleeves, navy blue well-tailored pants, and a brown customized pair of loafers.
The first two buttons of his shirt were undone and the dark round rim shade gave him the look of a devilishly handsome mafia boss Lord.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXia was still lost in admiration that she didn’t notice that Leon had already approached her car. He took off his shades, revealing his ocean-blue hypnotic eyes, and gently tapped the window of the driver seat, signaling her to roll it down.
Thanks to her tinted car, she was able to recover from the temporal spellbound that Leon had succeeded in casting on her. She quickly put her gun away and pulled her seat up before opening the driver’s door.
“Mr. Leon!” Xia faked a surprised look. ” Have you been stalking me?” She queried in a slightly thrilled but riled tone.
“Maybe!” Leon smirked as he scrutinized her car condition and observed that something was wrong. “Having car trouble?”
“Yes!” Xia blew out forced air and stepped out of the car to enjoy the cool blowing wind.
“It didn’t even give me any sign or warning before parking me up in the middle of nowhere! And to think I just got this car today.”
“That’s unfortunate!” Leon said in an empathic tone. “That car company needs to be sued for such embarrassment.”
“Yeah! I will ensure that they pay for the embarrassment.” Xia said in a riled tone. “I don’t know why things have not been working out for me today. It has been from one problem to another.” Xia sighed. “Today is not just my day!
“Ugh! Sorry about that!” Leon gently stroked her shoulder, unintentionally sending sensual chills down her spine. “How about I give you a lift to where ever you want to go?”
“Oh, thank you! I will really appreciate that.” Xia’s face broke into a contagious smile. All I want to do is retire to my hotel room, eat something nice, and soak myself in a warm bathtub.
“Am I welcome to join in the fun? He tried his best to hide his pain as he smiled with a lustful glint in his eyes.
“Hmm... What are you up to Mr. Treshvire?” Xia smiled revealing her perfect white dentition.
