"Whether I want to come to the mall by myself or shop through a fashion magazine, it's none of your business," Niel snapped at him.
The man smirked at him. He then turned his gaze to Haylee who was standing beside Niel.
"Who is this beautiful lady? I thought you had said before that you will never get involved in a relationship because you didn't trust in one."
Haylee was puzzled by the man's words. 'Niel didn't want to get involved in a relationship? But he had dated a lot of girls at school before,' she was confused. She looked at Niel and the man alternately.
"I'm sorry. It's quite rude of me to not introduce myself properly. Hi, I am Patrick Anderson. Niel's second cousin. And you are?" The man said to Haylee while stretching out his hand to offer her a handshake.
"I'm Haylee John..."
"You don't need to talk to him!" Niel cut her off before she could finish her words.
Niel brushed off Patrick's hand, wasn't allowing him to
Niel's POV: "Who's Patrick?" Her question managed to make me gaze up and pay attention to her. This girl dared to ask about that moron after seeing how much I despised him. "Haven't you heard what he said before? He's my second cousin," I replied sternly to her. "How are both of you related actually?" She kept getting curious about that moron. Did she like him? "My late grandpa had a younger brother, my great-uncle. Patrick was one of his grandchildren. My father and Pat's father are cousins. So, Pat and I are second cousins." She nodded lightly then looked on her phone again. I stood up and took her phone immediately. And my guess was right! This girl was searching for some articles about Patrick on the internet. "Why are you looking at stuff about him?" I was bewildered, feeling dissatisfied at what she did. Haylee stood up as well and snatched her phone from my hand. She sat down again and ignored me. "Do you
Haylee's POV: He didn't even care if I date another person. Then, what was that about last night? Why did he do that with me if he wasn't interested to make me his girl? Did he just want to take advantage of me? "Why you didn't want to date me?" I asked him bravely. I wanted to know his true intention. He stopped eating and gazed upon me. Then he just gave me a ravishing smile. "I don't want us to have any attachment or commitment," he answered simply. "Why? Don't you like me?" I asked more. "Of course, I like you." "Do you love me?" My bold question made him halted. He didn't answer it. He took a deep breath and then stared at me intensely. His face turned serious. "Baby Girl, I'll make this clear to you at once. I hope you won't ask me again after this. So, make sure to listen carefully to each word that I'm about to say to you." He took a moment of silence. I could felt my heart skipped a beat when he
Niel and Haylee left the restaurant after about thirty minutes. After what he said inside the restaurant VIP room, Haylee couldn't help but felt disturbed. But she remained her expression reserved, wasn't showing anything unusual. She still couldn't grasp the whole thing that Niel meant, so she decided to just observe the later situation. After all, Niel did say that he loved her. He just didn't want to have a relationship with her, but she could have anything. So, how hard could that be anyway? "Why are you silent?" Niel asked in suspicion. He fixed his eyes on her and looked at her with his solemn face. Haylee just shook her head lightly. She got a sudden feeling as if she was intimidated by him. Niel dragged her around the mall, entering almost all the fashion boutiques that were available. In just two hours, their hands were full of shopping bags. Niel didn't buy anything, he just took pleasure buying things for Haylee as if she was his doll.
The clock showed after three. Niel and Haylee arrived at the penthouse again. He put down all the shopping bags inside his bedroom. Truthfully, he never really carried shopping bags on his own before. There was always someone who would carry it for him. He was the big boss after all, his servants wouldn't even dare to let him carry a single thing. But he humbled himself when it came to Haylee and carried her shopping bags since they were inside the mall to the penthouse. 'She didn't even know how well I treat her,' he grumbled internally after seeing her sit on the sofa in the living room right after she entered the penthouse. "Baby Girl, go change your clothes. We're going to swim upstairs," he ordered her. "What should I wear?" Haylee asked in confusion. She didn't know what should she wear. She was too ashamed to wear a bikini in front of him. She unconsciously shook her head while trying to brush off the unpleasant thought. Niel furrowed a bit as
Niel giggled in excitement as he heard her speak tantalisingly to him. He got worked up for no reason and started banging her hard as if trying to give her complete pleasure and satisfaction. By the time they finished, it was almost dusk already. Niel helped Haylee get out of the hot tub and covered her body with a towel. He too did the same as well. They went downstairs together and entered the bedroom directly. They put some clothes on and went out to the living room again, waiting for the chefs and the maid to come at seven to prepare dinner as usual. After dinner, Niel took Haylee to the fourth floor. It was the top floor of Niel's penthouse and it was an open space hall with a roof made of glass. It was the penthouse observatory. There was a grand piano on one corner of the hall and a queen-size bed in the middle of the hall. There were also long sofas aligned against the walls to create an open lounge area. Two small rooms were at the other corner of th
Haylee turned her body to face Niel on her left side, and Niel did the same, turning his body to the right to face her. They stared at each other as if trying to read each other's minds. Haylee grabbed his shirt collar and pulled him closer to her. Niel complied with her and put his right hand around her shoulders while his left hand was on the top of her body, resting right above her chest. They started cuddling on the bed as if they were a normal couple when the truth was they weren't even a couple to begin with. They just agreed to be together. She slowly moved her lips closer to him and he didn't even avoid it. Instead, he too moved his lips closer to hers and they kissed naturally. Niel grasped her head in between his hands and he steadily moved his body on top of hers. After a while, he released his kiss and pressed his body onto her. He hugged her tightly and Haylee's hands started to pull his shirt upward to take it off from him. As predictable, Niel didn't avoid her
Haylee obeyed him without question and went into his bedroom without delay. She got into the bathroom to take a shower. After she had done with the shower, she got out of the bathroom and put her clothes on. Just at that time, Niel entered the bedroom and went directly to the bathroom to wash up as well. Haylee checked the time and it was just eight-thirty in the morning. It was still early. She packed up the stuff that she brought from the lakehouse. She left behind the new clothes that Niel bought for her at the mall yesterday and organized them into the wardrobe inside his bedroom. 'It really felt like we're a married couple. Why did Niel didn't want to be in an official relationship with me?' She started wondering again in her heart. After a while, Niel came out from the bathroom wearing a robe. He walked into the wardrobe and blatantly took off his bathroom robe in front of Haylee, showing his fully naked body, while his hands scanned the clothes he wanted to we
Like a gentleman, he opened the car door of the passager seat beside the driver seat and Haylee entered the car swiftly. Then he walked around the car to enter the driver seat. He started the engine and drove the car leaving the area. After about thirty minutes, they finally arrived at the lakehouse. Haylee could see Ben and Martha were standing outside on the front porch near the front door as if waiting for them to arrive. She quickly got out of the car without waiting for Niel to open the door for her. Niel stopped the car engine but still sitting inside the car. He looked through his phone again and typed something on it with a firm look on his face. Haylee on the contrary already set foot on the front porch approaching Ben and Martha. "Good morning, Miss Johnson." Both Ben and Martha greeted her in unison. "Good morning," Haylee replied to them with a smile. "How was it at the penthouse? Was it fun?" Martha asked her leisurely. Haylee jus
