Chapter 29: Mysterious Phone Calls
Mia was all excited and her little face was flushed, “You’re too slow, I’ve got the shot.”
“Give me back my camera!” Asher reached out and was about to grab the camera, a childish look on his handsome face, “My pictures are exclusive, how can I just take them!”
“No give.” Mia laughed and dodged around, this man was a little too petty, she wasn’t a reporter for gossip and entertainment.
In an unguarded moment, Liam Jun had snatched the camera out of her hands, holding it aloft and screaming, “Come after me if you can, come after me!”
“Stop right there, Liam Jun, you scoundrel.” Unable to chase him, Mia crossed her arms and her pink face was flushed. This Liam Jun, he was simply petty to the core.
“It takes a fool to listen to you and stand still.” Since he had pissed off Mia, Liam Jun was smart enough to know of course that running for his life was the first order of business.
“You …” Seeing Liam Jun running and stopping, deliberately teasing her, exasperated Mia stomped her feet.
So she chased and he fled, their chasing figures weaving through the colorful tulip beds.
Just as Mia was about to catch Liam Jun, Liam Jun, who had been fleeing in front of her, suddenly stopped and suspiciously took out his cell phone from his pocket, and just after listening to a few words, he hung up the phone with an unusually serious expression on his face.
“You can leave first if you have something to do, I’ll be fine going back alone.” Seeing his serious look, Mia hurriedly said.
“Sorry, I have some things I need to take care of.” Liam Jun gave her a difficult look, “There’s a car I’ve arranged outside the garden, you can just take it if you want to go back, sorry, I’ll take you somewhere else next time.”
Having said that, Liam Jun left the flower garden in a hurry.
Watching Liam Jun’s back as he hurriedly left, Mia suddenly rose up with a strong feeling of unease and quickly headed for the door.
Doorway.
“President, we’ve arrived.” A limited edition luxury car pulled up at the entrance of the flower garden, and the bodyguard driving the car immediately said respectfully to Asher, who had slightly narrowed his eyes behind him.
At those words, Asher slowly opened his eyes, a dark tide in his dark eyes, and looked coldly at the door, waving his hand and commanding, “You guys leave first.”
The two bodyguards immediately got out of the car and left the area, standing around and looking around warily.
Asher stepped out of the car at a graceful pace, his tall, slender male frame, leaning against the car. He casually glanced at his expensive watch, his eyes fixed on the door.
From inside came out a large number of tourists, especially women, with their eyes locked on Asher in the doorway. But the invisible coldness emanating from Asher’s body was a deterrent.
Liam Jun’s eyes didn’t linger on anyone at all, just searching for a person.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, Asher’s stern gaze glanced to the side – Mia gave a slight shudder, as if something had stung her, and her footsteps came to a halt.
“Miss Jun?” Liam Jun’s driver who had arranged to wait for her asked in a whisper as if he sensed something was wrong with her.
“Nothing.” She smiled faintly, laughing to herself at her own paranoia. This place, how would Asher find it?
Little did she know that at the sight of her smiling at another man, Asher’s eyes turned fiercely dark as he took a step towards her.
The coldness of his breath made Mia shiver and twist her head to look around, only to see Asher, who was walking towards her.
The light smile on her beautiful face instantly faded when she saw Asher. Abruptly, a chilling cold sensation ran up from the bottom of her feet, straight towards Mia’s head.
Knowing that she had spotted her presence, Asher pulled a demonic, cold smile.
Mia’s body was shaken by the dizzying sensation of his ice-like smile and the dreadful consequences he was anticipating.
Suddenly, the strength that supported her body was gone, and with it rang out the driver’s scream, “Ah …”
“Who gave you permission to touch her!” Asher’s face was cold, and one large hand nearly broke the driver’s hand holding Mia.
No one touches her without his permission! She’s his pet, and no one touches her but him!
“Stop, you, you’re about to break his hand …” Mia saw this and spoke out in a panic to stop it. This driver was innocent, and she didn’t want to get anyone else involved.
“Mia, are you ordering me around?” Asher glanced across her, the coldness in his eyes unnerving.
All of a sudden, a shuddering sensation rose from her feet and quickly spread to every part of her body, “Please … let go of him, will you?”
The driver was now sweating profusely, and his face was wrinkled in pain; if he didn’t let go, I was afraid that the driver’s hand would be broken.
Asher glanced at her coldly and let go of her big hand, and the driver’s whole body immediately went limp on the ground.
“Do you want to go to the hospital …” Mia was going to ask the driver if she needed to make a trip to the hospital, but before she could finish her sentence, her petite body was already being carried in the air by a pair of strong, big hands.
“What are you doing?” Mia panicked and kicked, the only person who could take her always calm emotions and stir them up in a ripple was Asher.
Asher didn’t answer her, just dominant and forceful, shoving her into the parked car.
“Jun …” Forced to drop into her seat, Mia had planned to resist, but after seeing a pair of eyes that were cold into her heart, she subconsciously stopped her mouth.
Asher also got into the car and closed the door, the good sound insulation, completely shut out the crowd noise, the car is quiet, except for a few inaudible air conditioning, only the sound of each other’s breathing.
On the way, Asher didn’t say a word, just grimaced and drove the car as fast as he could. The car sped at super speed for about half an hour before it stopped in front of the villa’s door.
The speeding car not only stirred up Mia’s latent fears, but also caused her already uncomfortable stomach to toss and turn several times over. She was able to suppress the look of panic on her face with pride, but could not successfully suppress the physical urge to vomit.
“Mia!” said Asher with a grimace, “Have you finished throwing up yet, you’ve wasted three minutes of my time.”
Mia paled, forcing herself to display a sneer even when she was unsteady on her feet, “How dare I enter the villa without throwing up clean, in case I throw up in the house, when I do, I’ll be sorry Master Jun you.”
Seeing her stubborn expression, Asher’s face fell and he grabbed her wrist and marched towards the villa, just as he entered the bedroom on the second floor he flung her into it.
He reached out and confined her in his arms, screwing up one thick, dark brow, his gaze pressing into her eyes, letting his anger envelop her so tightly she couldn’t move.
Mia tried to break free of his grip on her, a hint of panic under her eyes, “Asher, what are you doing … you …”
Asher’s eerie gaze hardened what she was about to say, his tone as cold as winter, his voice as if it came from hell, “What do I want? Don’t you know?”
Mia shivered sharply, her whole body trembling slightly.
“It seems that I had so much fun with Liam Jun today that I even forgot who I was.” Thinking back to the bright smile on her little face when she looked at the other man earlier, a monstrous anger rose up in Asher’s heart.
“I …” Mia paled, knowing that he had found out about her going out with Liam Jun today. What the consequences would be, she couldn’t even imagine.
The coldness under Asher’s eyes alone was enough to freeze her.
A series of bells interrupted Mia’s words.
Asher’s gaze locked on her and grimly pulled his phone out, placing it carelessly to his ear.
Just after listening to a few sentences, Asher’s face changed abruptly, and the look he gave Mia instantly turned even colder as he snapped his phone away.
When she looked at Mia again, Asher’s gaze was mixed with fury and shock, her thin lips pursed together in profound lines that conveyed an aura that made her shudder, radiating a violent and brutal rage.
“Fat, what’s going on? Why are you looking at me like that?” As she spoke, Mia was surprised to hear her teeth chattering.
He did not speak, his gleaming gaze still fixed on her small pale face, an oppressive force pressing on her nerves as he pressed closer.
“Did you say that? Did you say anything to anyone about what happened between us?” His inky black eyes deepened.
“Something between us? No … no …” After a moment of slight confusion, Mia shook her head with a pale face. How could she say anything about such things!
“No?” Asher raised an eyebrow, a deep suspicion in the bottom of his eyes, “Do you expect me to believe you? The only people in this world who would know about our contract would be you and I. Who else would it be if not you!”
Mia’s eyes went wide at once, the contract between her and Asher had been compromised?
How can that be!
Asher’s eyes were wild with anger, the fire in his chest instantly burning to the highest point, suddenly reaching out an arm and grabbing her chin, his eyes fierce, “Say, was it you or not! Who told you to do this?”
Early this morning, he had just entered the office when he received the call, damn it! He had endured for so long, sacrificed so much, and this is what he had to pay for? And what was the purpose of all the pain he endured all these years? Did he have to be a puppet?
Mia felt his hand tighten and a choking force spread from her heart to her limbs, almost suffocating her.
Looking at her small face, which was gradually pale due to the pain, Asher did not have the slightest pity, his gaze was still sinister, and the force on his hand did not ease in the slightest. He hated her, hated that she had ruined everything that had been planned long ago!
