Chapter 254 Screwing Around (Part One)

"I won't cook for you anymore!"

Cassandra pouted. Rufus was being critical about the dishes she prepared. It made her feel irritated and unappreciated. She'd rather stop cooking for him.

Cassandra threw the chopsticks onto the dining table, adding more of a dramatic effect and then stormed off. She went to the study to work on her design. The last thing she felt like was talking to Rufus.

Rufus couldn't help smiling seeing her angry. Cassandra was beautiful, but when angry she was exquisite. His little woman was so dramatically cute. He thought so while staring at her leaving.

Since she didn't eat much for dinner, Rufus warmed a cup of milk then walked over to the study to put the cup on her desk. Sitting down opposite her, he stared at the little woman intently.

Cassandra ignored him, playing she was still angry. She let him do whatever he wanted, while still focusing on the design.

Rufus kept staring at her, becoming passionately aroused. He began distracting her, as she felt his desire in his eyes warm her. She couldn't concentrate any longer.

"What do you want now?" she exclaimed, knowing full well the answer.

She closed the notebook and looked at him. He had fixated his eyes on her, as though she was some exotic, rare creature. Cassandra couldn't withstand his gaze any longer.

"You."

Rufus gave her a simple reply in a flirting tone, as he smiled slyly.

Cassandra's face turned red, at the thought of his intentions in his eyes. He loved playing these games with her. Teasing her as his eyes roamed all over her body, and causing her to feel his emotions coming through.

Rufus came over to her and hugged her in his arm, kissing her passionately for a long time, as his hands stroked her body gently.

A smile ventured around the corners of his mouth, as dark arousal framed his passion filled eyes. He scooped her up and took her to the bed. Their night had just began.

In an exclusive club in G City, Cassandra was dining with a client. They were laughing and talking about business ideas and issues they might have to overcome.

The door opened. A waitress walked in, holding a decorative plate of sweets they had ordered.

Cassandra felt her blood freeze, as she glanced at the waitress.

It was Cloris, her younger sister! Cassandra's mind became unleashed with questions. 'Why is she here in this establishment, working as a waitress? What has happened to her studies?' she thought in worries.

As Cloris noticed Cassandra, she paused for a moment, turned on her heels and began to leave the room.

Cassandra stood up and caught her by her arm.

"Cloris! Why are you here?"

Cassandra frowned. her mind in such a mess now.

'Wasn't Cloris supposed to be studying abroad now? When did she come back to G City. What is she up to?' Cassandra kept asking herself. 'She still has credits to earn at the university abroad. What is she doing to her future?' she thought, distressed.

Suddenly Cassandra remembered the time when Whitney told her she'd seen Cloris. At that time she hadn't taken it seriously, thinking Whitney probably saw someone else. But unexpectedly, here stood Cloris.

"Leave me. This is none of your business!" Cloris declared defiantly.

She shook off Cassandra's hand and ran out of the room quickly.

The client, knowing something was defiantly wrong, felt awkward and reserved another time to talk to Cassandra. They would then battle to focus on business. Saying goodbye to the client, Cassandra apologized for the drama. Sitting alone, she tried to process her plan of action, feeling upset. She pushed her hands through her hair.

Later, she went over to talk to the manager of the club, wanting to learn more about Cloris.

"Good evening, nice to meet you, I'm Cassandra Qin. I'm Cloris's sister. May I ask, when did Cloris start working here?"

Cassandra was quite perturbed when thinking once again on how Cloris's absence from her classes would affect her studies.

"She's been here about a month now. She needed an internship and asked if we could take her in. She is charming and seems well balanced, showing good social interaction. So I kept her," said the manager convincingly.

The manager felt annoyed at this interrogating. He'd never anticipated that Cloris would work here without her family's permission. What was even more surprising to him, was that she was Cassandra's sister.

"Do you know her address?" Cassandra asked enquiringly.

Before she came to talk to the manager, she had searched all over the club but couldn't find Cloris. The security guard at the gate told her that Cloris had left in a hurry, with a frightened look on her face as though being followed.

'What on earth has happened to Cloris? Why did she lie to us? And why did she come back?' Cassandra thought, keeping her mind occupied.

The manager had provided her with a vague address. She followed it and went to a resident building nearby. Cloris hadn't provided her detailed address to the manager. So Cassandra was unable to locate the apartment number. She decided to wait at the main entrance, hoping her sister would appear.

Watching the people come and go, Cassandra felt helpless. Why did Cloris hate her so much? As sisters, they were supposed to love and support each other. But that didn't apply to them at all. Cloris always had a disapproving expression, when she spoke to her. She was also critical towards her and rejected her outings and ideas.

Cloris seemed to misunderstand her intentions. If they had a chance to talk, Cassandra decided to figure it all out.

Finally, Cloris showed up. Cassandra saw her walking towards her. She looked quite frustrated with her dull eyes. She walked with no enthusiasm, as though lost in her perplexity. Cassandra hoped she hadn't got involved in drugs and other forms of addictions. That would open up into a whole lot more problems.

"Cloris, wait up!"

Cassandra called her name loudly and ran towards her quickly.

Cloris didn't anticipate that her sister would see her in the club, where she worked. More surprisingly, Cassandra even discovered her place where she lived now.

She was caught by Rufus when she was carrying out her evil plan before. Rufus warned her. That unsettled her a lot. She felt embarrassed, irritated and was not in the mood to study anymore. So she decided to stay in G City without going back to her college.

Cloris couldn't go back to home because she didn't want Edith to know her whereabouts. As for Cassandra? She hated her and wanted to set a trap for her. But Rufus was protecting her all the time, so she was unable to unleash her revenge plan against her.

Cloris hated her more as time went by, yet there was nothing she could do. So she found herself a job, expecting for a chance to work out another plan.

But unexpectedly again, she was discovered by Cassandra before she was ready. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Cloris! I called your university. They told me that you asked for leave, with the excuse that you needed to deal with some family affairs. May I know why?"

Cassandra frowned and looked disapprovingly at Cloris, her sister sharing the same blood with her. She was worried about her and wanted to build a better relationship with her.

Cloris was studying as an exchange student aboard. When she asked for leave at the institution, the administration department thought that there were some emergencies in her family. So they didn't ask too much and permitted the leave. However, the truth was that she abandoned a precious opportunity. Cassandra was distressed by her behavior.

"The reason is simple. I didn't want to stay abroad. That's all."

Cloris walked around her and kept moving towards the building expressionlessly.

Cassandra followed her closely and kept asking questions.

"Did you lie to our mother? I called her a few days ago. She told me that you called her on a video call. She thought you were still studying abroad. You are not a child anymore, Cloris. You should know right from wrong!"

Cassandra talked in a tone of reproach. Cloris stopped immediately. She turned around and cast a disdainful look at her.

"Are you accusing me, after what you've done, of what I should do and what I shouldn't? Come on. Save it. Admit it, you do things you're not supposed to yourself! I knew it when you were still the daughter-in-law of the Tang family. You and Rufus had an affair at that time, am I right? You ogled at each other secretly. I was not blind,"

Cloris sneered with a cold smile, and shot daggers with her eyes.
