Halston.
She purposely avoided his gaze and tried to brush past him.
She felt that they should have a clean break.
They should not meet or miss each other, or even talk to each other.
As time passed by, Flossie would get used to not having him by her side.
He would then no longer be able to affect her mood.
“Um…” Dale looked awkward.
He wanted Flossie to stay.
“Ms. Ellsworth, why don’t you discuss your former .suggestion with Mr. hunt? I think we’d better listen to him about this.
What if he has other solutions?” “That’s unnecessary’ Flossie stopped being gentle and became overbearing and aloof.
“If you think it won’t work, you can listen to him.
I just gave you a suggestion.
After all, I don’t have to implicate myself in this.” “What?”
Dale broke out in a cold sweat, as Flossie’s attitude had changed all of a sudden.
She was telling a different story now.
Flossie kept a gloomy face, and wanted to leave once she was done.
However, Halston gripped her wrist.
“No rush, since you’re already here.” “T came to do my business, and so did you.
We don’t have to get our issues mixed up.” Flossie kept a cold attitude, and insisted on leaving.
But… It seemed like she was just trying to run away.
“Are you that afraid of me?” Halston watched her with an intense but complicated gaze.
There was even some disdain gleaming in his eyes as the more superior one.
Certainly, Flossie couldn’t accept to be inferior.
She immediately became competitive.
She gnashed her teeth and swung off his hand.
“No, I’m not.
Let’s talk, then.” She looked at Dale, and suggested, “Mr.
Porter, didn’t you booka private room in The Crane? Stop standing there.
Let’s go now.
I’m hungry.” “Okay, let’s not waste time.
We’ll take a special path,” Dale suggested eagerly.
Halston frowned, and pondered briefly.
“Okay.” He initially came to give Dale some simple instructions, and had no intention to dine with Dale.
But since he coincidentally bumped into Flossie, he lost his rationale given that he was physiologically attracted to her, though he knew that he should not spend time with her. He subconsciously wanted to spend much time with her.
The parents and reporters were still making an uproar at the entrance of the school.
Hence, Halston and Flossie obeyed Dale’s guidance and went straight to the underground garage.
They were going to leave from there.
Dale’s car was the leading car, and had smoothly set off.
Both Halston and Flossie sat in a car behind Dale’s.
They sat in the back seat.
The cramped space made their legs knock against each other from time to time.
Their physical and physiological distance grew closer.
“What are you doing here?” Halston asked Flossie gloomily.
“It’s none of your business.
I don’t think I have to explain myself to you.” Flossie looked out the window and refused to tell Halston why she was there.
If he knew that she wanted to bear full responsibility for the affair he would think that she was merely doing it for his sake. Then, he would feel quite smug about himself.
“Let me guess…” Halston kept a sharp and cold gaze.
He started to tease her.
“You’re forced to come because you wanted to clean up Quinton’s mess.
Am I right?” Flossie pursed her lips, and ignored him.
“That insane guy the parents said wanted to strabgle them was your brother, so… Halston hit the nail on the head.
“If I’m not mistaken, you guys have Joanne with you.” “What do you mean?” Flossie hated the way he put it.
She glared at him and said, “Are we some kind of monsters? Did she fall intoa den of monsters by being with US?”
Halston snorted.
“Did I say something wrong? You should know what kind of man your brother is.” Like Flossie, Halston felt guilty toward Joanne too.
If Joanne hadn’t told him about some flaws in Carmine Pawnshop, he wouldn’t have defeated Quinton so quickly.
Guajardo Enterprise would not have made rapid progress, either.
Unfortunately, Joanne was burdened because of that affair.
