Filed to story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
‘Yes, Mr. Guajardo!”
The armed group got ready to charge the Pascal Manor.
At that moment, Flossie and Rubio Pascal walked out side by side, talking and laughing with each other.
Flossie noticed Halston right away. Her smile immediately disappeared, replaced by a frosty chill.
She said sarcastically, ‘ Wow, fancy seeing you here, Mr. Guajardo. Why aren’t you keeping your “bro” company? She hurt her foot and needs your” brotherly love”.”
Halston frowned and ignored Flossie. Instead, he looked at Rubio Pascal and asked in an icy voice, “What did you do to her?”
Rubio Pascal was a man in his forties who had a shrewd face. He gave Halston a smile that did not reach his eyes and said with an ambiguous expression, ’’Miss Ellsworth and I had a very pleasant time. We spent more than three hours together, just the two of us, and we’ve grown very close. As for what happened between us, I think it’s Miss Ellsworth’s decision whether to tell you or not.”
“Anyway, for me personally, I’ll treat it as a little secret between Miss Ellsworth and 1.1 will occasionally think back on it with much fondness.”
Hearing that, Flossie lowered her head and blushed shyly. “Mr. Pascal, I get embarrassed easily. If you’re too embarrassed to say it, then it’s even more the case for me. Why don’t we make a promise with each other? We’ll keep what happened this afternoon a secret. Whoever leaks the secret gets on Santa’s naughty list!”
“Hahaha, that’s fine with me. It’s your decision.”
Rubio Pascal gave Halston a meaningful look. He then hugged Flossie affectionately and said, “Okay, that’s it for today. Next time you come, let’s have some fun again.”
‘Then, about the land where the Ellsworth Residence is…”
“Don’t worry, leave it to me. I promise I’ll take care of it.”
Rubio Pascal waved goodbye to Flossie and walked back into the Pascal Manor.
Halston, Shelley, and the group of armed burly men remained rooted to the spot with confused expressions.
“Ms. Ellsworth, you scared the hell out of me. I called you earlier, but you didn’t answer. I thought that Pascal guy must have done something bad to you. I was afraid that the police wouldn’t be able to handle it, so I called Mr. Guajardo for help!”
Shelley was both excited and relieved. “I was worried that Mr. Guajardo wouldn’t come, but not only did he come, he came really quickly and brought a lot of people with him. That means he really cares about you and you’re very important to him!”
Halston said icily, “I didn’t think that far. I was just afraid that the Guajardo family would be disgraced because I know what kind of man Rubio Pascal is.”
At first, Flossie felt a little grateful towards Halston, but his words irritated her so much that the gratitude instantly evaporated.
“Heh, you’re funny, Mr. Guajardo. Pray tell, what kind of man is Mr. Pascal? And how did I disgrace the Guajardo family?”
Halston’s dagger-like eyes looked Flossie up and down. He said emotionlessly, “You know what kind of man he is, and you know very well how you disgraced the Guajardo family.”
Flossie became even angrier. She retorted coldly, “Sorry, I have no idea what kind of man Mr. Pascal is. After all, I only spent three hours with him, which I don’t think is enough to tell a person’s character. I feel like he’s a pretty straightforward guy. At least he doesn’t pretend to be a good guy like a hypocrite.”
“As for disgracing the Guajardo family…”
Flossie laughed with contempt. “I have had nothing to do with you for a long time, let alone the Guajardo family. I’m a free and independent woman, and I can make friends with anyone I want. It’s none of your business!”
‘You…!”
Flossie’s stubborn attitude and sharp words angered Halston, but he had no right to refute her.
That’s right, no matter how bad Rubio Pascal’s reputation in Beach City was, and no matter how terrible the fate of the women who approached Rubio Pascal was according to the rumors, Halston had no right to stop Flossie from getting involved with him.
The two of them stared each other down. The tension in the air was unbelievably strong.
Shelley mustered up the courage to raise her hand and say, “Can I say something?”
Flossie nodded and said, You can say whatever you want to say.”
“I think, no matter what Mr. Guajardo’s motive was, it’s a fact that he came to save you immediately. Besides, he also rescued you from that rapist a few days ago. So, I think…”
Shelley paused and took a peek at Flossie, then said weakly, “I think you should buy Mr. Guajardo dinner to express your gratitude.”
Before Flossie could say anything, Halston already said, “I happen to be hungry right now. I know a place in the city that serves good steak.”
Then, he turned around and walked away just like that!
“? ? ?”
Flossie’s mind was filled with question marks.
That guy was so shameless. Shouldn’t he ask for her opinion first?
Halston walked back to his sports car. Before getting in, he stopped, turned around and asked Shelley, “Can you drive?”
“Of course. What do you want me to do, Mr. Guajardo?”
‘Take her car back.”
After giving Shelley the command, Halston turned to Flossie and said, “We’ll go in my car.”
‘Yes, Mr. Guajardo. What a reasonable arrangement. I wish you two a pleasant meal!”
Shelley could read the mood. She quickly drove away in Flossie’s car while Flossie stared at her speechlessly.
“Get in.”
Halston was very satisfied with Shelley’s cleverness. With a hint of a smile on his lips, he called out to Flossie, who was frozen in place.
Flossie was seething. She started to suspect that the assistant she had carefully selected might have been a spy Halston planted near her.
“If you don’t get in, I’ll drive away without you.”
Halston was already sitting in the driver’s seat, getting ready to start the car.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Flossie finally succumbed to reality.
After all, the Pascal Manor was located in the hills far from the city center, so it would be very difficult to get a Uber ride here. She should not make things hard for herself out of pride.
Halston looked straight ahead as he drove away from the Pascal Manor.
“Aren’t you going to thank me?”
After taking a glance at the icy Flossie, he suddenly broke the silence.
‘Thank you? For what?”
“If it weren’t for me, you would have become another one of Rubio Pascal’s victims. That means I saved you once again.”
Halston raised his chin and said proudly.
“Pfft!”
Flossie burst out in laughter. She could not help it. “You sure know how to toot your own horn. Mr. Pascal and I got along really well. If it weren’t for you, I would have achieved my goal by now. You should be grateful I didn’t yell at you for ruining my plan.”
