Chapter 431: Fooled
Chapter 431: Fooled
It suddenly occurred to Kayden that Ellie couldn't swim.
After waiting for a few seconds, he couldn't remain calm anymore. She was the future sister-in-law of his boss. He couldn't afford to offend her.
With that thought, he waded closer to Ellie and pulled her out of the water.
With her eyes shut, she looked like a sleeping beauty.
"Hey! Are you alright? Hey! Hey!"
Kayden gently shook her.
But she didn't respond.
"Can you hear me? Oh my God! You idiot. How could you not even know how to breathe in the shallow area? You're driving me crazy! Hey! Wake up! Fine! I promise that I will help you with those ads. You will endorse them, okay?"
That worked.
Ellie opened her eyes the next second.
(⊙o⊙)Kayden was so surprised he didn't know what to do except looking at her. The more he looked at her, the more enchanting he found her.
"I thought you..."
He thought she had drowned.
"I can swim. I learned it when I was little. My sister, on the other hand, couldn't even float after several classes."
Feeling fooled, Kayden wore a gloomy face. With a cunning grin, Ellie continued, "You just said that you would help me with the advertisements. You can't go back on your word!"
'Yeah! Keep dreaming!'
Kayden felt humiliated.
'As a smart guy, I couldn't believe I got tricked by a girl.
I'm ashamed. God, haven't I been bullied enough by Elaine? Why do I have to deal with Ellie now?'
"I can help you, but you can't tell your sister that you know me."
With his arms crossed, Kayden leaned against the edge of the hot spring, looking at her.
Ellie raised her eyebrows and pretended to be very sophisticated as she nodded, "Oh, I understand. You're afraid that my sister will be jealous, aren't you? Men like to fool around behind their woman's back. Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut. Just one thing, let me know before you play the casting- couch game with me. I won't do anything that will hurt myself."
Kayden couldn't believe his ears.
'Come on! Play the casting-couch game with you?'
'Look in the mirror, will you?'
...
Kayden's face twitched with frustration and irritation. He had to explain. "Let me clarify a few things. Firstly, I'm not your sister's boyfriend..."
"I don't understand. Why are you still denying it? Move on. What's the second thing?"
Ellie immersed herself in the warm water. Since her clothes were all wet anyway, she decided to have fun.
"Second, don't tell anyone that I got these advertisements for you."
"Oh? Are you famous? Will your name make a big difference? What's your name?"
"Kayden..."
"Kayden? I noticed that they were all respectful of you." Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
"They were just being polite."
Kayden suddenly realized that he was sharing so many things with her.
It felt weird.
Ellie buried her face in the water. The water was very clean and everything in the water could be seen clearly.
Just as she was enjoying herself, she glanced at Kayden and then immediately popped her head out. She cried out, "Ah! You're naked! I saw ... I ... I saw it!"
Kayden was speechless.
He propped one hand against his forehead and felt he was about to faint from anger.
Yes, during the drama she had started, he had forgotten that he was naked.
"Turn around!"
His face darkened in anger, and then he grabbed the towel and wrapped it around his waist.
Ellie had seen his private part! How embarrassing!
Damn it!
"Huh, you're blushing. You look like a gangster. I didn't expect you to be shy. If I hadn't come in, wouldn't you have flirted with four girls? But, to be honest, your little friend is not that big, not as big as my boyfriend's."
With a pout, Ellie turned around.
Little did she know that she had pissed Kayden off.
"What did you say? Mine isn't big? You should have your eyes examined! You must be talking about your boyfriend's erection."
Kayden glared at her.
Saying that a man's size is small is equivalent to trampling on a man's dignity.
"Yes, I was."
"When mine gets erect, it's many times bigger than it is now! You know nothing."
Kayden tried his best to maintain his dignity.
Ellie scratched her head and said, "Oh ... really? Don't brag. I won't believe it until I see it someday."
...
Kayden was shocked to hear that.
What was he doing?
He must be crazy to talk dirty with her like that.
He regretted it and almost slapped himself. Then, he opened the door and went out.
"Hey! Why did you leave? When will you help me with the advertisements? Hey! Are you there? He actually left? How annoying!"
Ellie was so angry that her eyes widened. She got out of the water to look for him, but he was gone.
"I'm crazy. I'm crazy. I must be crazy! I'm crazy..."
Once he was dressed, Kayden left Julport with his companions. The manager escorted him out with a fawning smile, afraid that he had offended Kayden somehow.
Kayden kept talking to himself, patting his head as if he had really turned into a madman.
"We didn't offend Kayden, did we? Why did he leave so early this time? Look, he keeps hitting himself on the head. Something must have gone wrong ..."
The manager was worried, still standing at the entrance of Julport respectfully.
"A guy from ZH Clan said that a woman barged into the room while Kayden was in the hot spring ... and she stayed. That's all we know for now," one of the employees replied.
"Oh? Who was she?"
The manager's eyes lit up.
Just then, Ellie, who was wet all over, walked over.
"Oh! It's so cold..."
She trembled from the cold with her arms crossed.
The manager and his subordinates looked at her in surprise.
They realized it was her.
"Oh dear, why did you come out? You'll catch a cold and Kayden will kill us! Please take care of yourself!"
The manager and the employees surrounded her enthusiastically.
(⊙o⊙)Ellie was dumbfounded.
'Are you kidding me? What's wrong with these people?
Kayden? The guy who just left?
It looks like that guy is important around here. And they mistake me for his woman. Well ... since you all think so, then why don't I take advantage of this situation?'
...
"Fetch me some clothes. It's freezing!" Then she blinked and cursed, "Kayden left me alone here! He is an asshole. I will punish him fiercely in bed!"
The crowd gasped.
Judging from her tone, they figured she was indeed Kayden's woman.
Few people dared to lose their temper in front of the head of ZH Clan.
Even fewer dared to curse him.
Immediately, the people of the club treated Ellie as a goddess.
That evening, Elaine took a taxi back to university.
When Hazel woke up, she insisted that Elaine go back to university. Since she was still sick, Hazel didn't want to wear her out and told her that Bradley would take care of her. So, after dinner, Elaine left the hospital.
"Hi!"
Suddenly a voice was heard from behind.
"Huh?" With the key in her hand, Elaine turned around saw someone under the tree nearby.
"Oh? Mark! It's you!"
It took a moment before she recognized who it was.
The evening breeze blew, carrying trace of late autumn coldness.
Mark wore a loose beige sweater, a pair of black casual trousers, and a plaid scarf.
His scholarly bearing was irresistible to her, and she felt her heart skipped a beat.
Standing under the tree, for a moment, he even looked like an immortal from heaven.
Mark walked towards her with his typical elegant smile.
"I happened to be passing by and decided to wait, thinking you would come back. And you did come back. Aren't I lucky?"
Despite standing on a step, she was still not as tall as him. In front of him, she was nervous, just looking at him like a panicky child.
Her dazed expression reminded him of the first time he saw her in high school. Back then, she looked as flustered as she was now. He was filled with softness and affection when he recalled that day.
...
He reached out and gently tugged at her ears. "Elaine, how have you been?" he asked lovingly.
His sexy voice, his enchanting smile, and the warmth she felt, all this made her panic.
Damn it! Her heartbeat was pounding. What should she do?
"Well.... Yeah, good.... Everything is good."
