This made Flossie misunderstand his intentions. “Do you think I’d let you off so easily after you’ve insulted me?! Careful or I might sue you for defamation!”
Halston was still not speaking a word, instead replaying the dashcam footage from last night on a large screen…
’Ah!” Flossie’s face turned red as she covered her eyes with both hands, visibly embarrassed. ’Turn it off right now! This is so awkward!”
She really hadn’t expected herself to voluntarily ‘seduce’ Halston at all, and she couldn’t stand watching herself so brazenly biting the man’s lips, her hands all over him.
In actuality, Halston did seem like the ‘poor’ victim in this case.
At the end of the footage, the man started behaving like Flossie as well, doing his best to capture the ‘little people’, and plucking the ‘weeds’ out of each other’s hair. They seemed extremely focused on their task, to the point they started stripping each other. Not long after, they seemed tired, and slowly dozed off.
Once the ‘torture’ was done, Halston switched off the screen with a nonchalant attitude.
Flossie, on the other hand, had curled her body up, hoping to bury her head in the seat like an ostrich. She didn’t want to face Halston at all.
“This is so embarrassing! Oh god, please just kill me, I don’t want to live anymore!” She whined like a child.
For some reason, Halston found her current state quite adorable, a light smile appeared on his face. “So how do you intend on taking responsibility for this?”
The man looked completely serious.
‘I’m sorry, I must’ve been possessed last night or something. I have no idea why I would do those things…” Flossie’s cheeks were still flushed. She didn’t dare to look directly at Halston. Her voice was soft.
‘If you don’t mind, we can just pretend nothing ever happened. I’ll pay you compensation, and you delete that footage. What do you say?”
Halston retorted. “Do I look like I need any more money?”
“Nope!”
‘So give up on that thought. You should think about how you can compensate me in other ways instead. Otherwise, I won’t be deleting this any time soon,” Halston said in a nonchalant tone.
“What else can I possibly compensate you with? Don’t get greedy here!” Flossie sat up, warning Halston.
“I’ll be honest with you. I have a video of your antics while you were drunk too! If you dare to leak that footage, dont blame me for doing the same! We’ll just have to go down together then!”
Halston seemed to yield to her threats, and he didn’t push her any further.
Hence, the two tidied themselves up, trying hard to forget about everything that happened last night.
“But, honestly, I’m pretty curious as to what happened to me. Why would I have done such ridiculous things?” Flossie scratched the back of her head, confused.
Halston raised an eyebrow and replied, “It’s likely due to the soup.”
“The soup?’
“I suspect that the minestrone soup contained a certain type of mushroom that could cause hallucinations if large amounts are consumed. Since you had so much last night, you were probably hallucinating all those little people… the weed… the jelly.”
’That’s not right. Didn’t you have some too? You seemed fine, though?’
’I only took a few sips.”
‘Then why were you hallucinating with me by the end of the footage?”
‘Why else?” Halston glanced at her coldly. “The kiss lasted too long.”
‘Uhm!” Flossie’s face flushed red instantly, and she covered her face again. She really wished she had a way to disappear right there and then.
Halston then started the engine and drove off, the fleeting scenery visible on both sides of the windows.
He then observed the woman in the back through the rearview mirror, suddenly asking, “Hey, uh… What did you mean by that just now?”
’What?”
’You said something about your stomach, and how you couldn’t believe I’d still do that to you…” Halston paused, as his gaze turned sharp.
’So what happened to your stomach?”
‘Oh, that…” Flossie gulped, her eyes darting around as she came up with a bad excuse. “Dont you see how chubby I’ve become? How could you still be attracted to this?’
’So that’s what you mean.” Halston let out a sigh of relief. He thought something was growing within Flossie’s belly, especially since paparazzi had once captured her and Liam meeting a gynecologist to prepare for pregnancy.
’You really have become quite chubby. You could lose a few pounds.”
’Hey!” Flossie huffed, but couldn’t retort in the slightest. All she could do was angrily glare out the window.
Noticing the unfamiliar scenery, she leaned back and anxiously asked the man, “Where… are you taking me?”
Halston remained silent; lips pursed as he focused on the road.
The car lumbered towards a ring road, with the vast blue sea surrounding both sides of the road. Everything seemed especially bright and cheery.
However, Flossie found this quite terrifying, not daring to move a single muscle. She wondered, ‘What is he doing bringing me to the seaside? Is he still holding a grudge against me for biting his lips last night? Is he trying to murder me and throw my corpse into the sea?’
‘Hey, Halston, calm down! Don’t resort to such extremes, okay?” Flossie said, sounding as if she was trying to manipulate her victim.
‘I know I may have been inappropriate to you, but I didn’t mean to! You’re out here looking like a whole snack, and you were dressed so sexily!
“You looked like an incubus, honestly! I just made a mistake that any other woman would make! So please just forgive me, just this once!
‘I promise I’ll never make the same mistake ever again! I won’t ever bite you even if you did everything to seduce me!”
Halston’s handsome face was initially expressionless, but hearing her made him chuckle lightly. “So, according to your logic, I can bite you however I wish, as long as I view you as a snack? And I don’t even have to take responsibility for it?”
“No way!’ Flossie spoke in a justified tone. “I did it by accident! But if you did it, you would have been plotting it all along! So, in the face of the law, you’d be committing a crime, while I’d be innocent!”
Halston was speechless, realizing just how bizarre this woman was. She was clearly holding a double standard in this case and was starting a blind argument.
