It was the first time Yanis lost his temper with Zain and said those harsh words to him.
She did not do it without thinking, but deliberately, because knowing Zain’s relationship with Miguel, Yanis suddenly felt that he took pity on her and gave her charity.
It made her feel angry and humiliated.
She was so angry that she bit her lower lip. But at that moment, Zain suddenly took out a pen and wrote a note in front of her and handed it to her.
Yanis looked at the note and gave Zain a slow look, as if asking what she wanted to say.
-The address of the company, if you have to deliver to the takeout, then deliver to the company, I will pay whatever it costs.
Hearing this, Yanis finally understood what he meant.
And Michael, who saw this scene, really couldn’t help but sigh in his heart for his best friend, maybe he shouldn’t have called Zain today.
Or, maybe, if he left after calling people, the girl wouldn’t think of him and Zain knowing each other.
Yanis’ anger hadn’t quite subsided, so Zain’s next move added fuel to the fire at the moment.
After all, the act of delivering was a regular profession in many people’s eyes, and even when she was about to deliver something, the receptionist glared at her.
The more she thought about it, the more anger burned in Yanis’ heart. She looked at the note in front of her as if it were a fire.
Slowly, she reached out and took the note.
Zain’s lips pursed slightly as he watched Yanis’ movements, always with the feeling that something was wrong.
-Then I have to thank you for your generous charity, but our store is small and cannot serve a customer as large and powerful as your Group.
Having finished these words, Yanis crumpled the note into a ball in front of Zain’s face.
-If I said I wouldn’t bother you anymore, I won’t bother you anymore. Besides, falling in love with you is something I’ve thought about, it has nothing to do with you, it’s normal for you to reject it, you don’t need to feel guilty or pity me for giving me a handout, I don’t need it.
He separated his hands and let the ball of paper fall.
The moment he dropped it, Yanis’ lips tipped in a self-deprecating smile before he turned and ran away.
Zain’s brow furrowed so much as he watched the girl’s back as she ran farther and farther away that Miguel couldn’t look away from him and urged him to follow.
-Aren’t you going after her?
Zain stood still and did not move, his lips remained pressed together.
-I really don’t understand you, running to the police station in such a hurry just to piss people off with a girl? Do you know how to talk or not? Even if you’ve never been in love, you don’t have to be so wooden, do you?
However, Zain paid no attention to her, his eyes lowered to look at the note Yanis had crumpled into a ball.
Earlier, at the party, the young woman had offered not to bother him anymore and had also refused his invitation to get into Nathan’s car.
He knew he had caused the young woman a lot of harm, so he did not try to force anything.
He never thought that anything would develop with the girl.
After all, he had never been a lonely man and had never considered marriage or children, so the sudden pursuit of the young woman with such enthusiasm was something he had not anticipated.
The person in question was also a friend of his sister, so Zain could not help himself at first.
Finally…
With this in mind, Zain interrupted himself in time, not daring to indulge in further thoughts.
Michael had known Zain for years and couldn’t understand what he was thinking at that moment, so he wrapped his arms around him and looked at him warily.
-With your nature you definitely won’t go after her, so why don’t I ask you, what the girl just said about you rejecting her, is this all true? At first you came to see me, I thought it was just that you were afraid to admit that you were in love with the girl, I didn’t expect that there were actually so many twists and turns between the two of you, no wonder you didn’t want the girl to know in the first place, it turned out to be because you had done something wrong.
Hearing this, Zain’s eyes snapped open and he looked at Miguel with a displeased expression.
Miguel slightly lifts the corners of his lips.
-What, did I say it wrong? You just pissed off someone’s little girl, for being a lifelong friend, how about you beg me for a word and I’ll intercede for you?
-Get out.
Zain could stand no more and hurled a foul word directly at him before striding forward.
The matter of the police station was settled, so Miguel did not need to linger and, seeing him go, took a leisurely stride to follow him.
-Your girl will never know your bitterness if you don’t tell her your love, do you know how hard it is to guess a woman’s mind? All those nice things you do for her, if you don’t make it clear, she won’t even know that you do those things because you like her, she’ll think you’re humiliating her-
The word made Zain’s heart flutter, and yet he didn’t answer, striding forward.
-Are you sure you don’t want me to help you?
Miguel was not intimidated.
Zain finally stopped in his tracks.
-Have you been thinking clearly?
-Are you bored? Why do you care about these things?
Hearing that, Miguel raised an eyebrow,
-I don’t care, maybe today she will get….
These last words Miguel didn’t continue, but they were self-explanatory and Zain’s head ached.
-That’s not what I meant.
-And which one do you mean?
Zain did not answer.
-Too embarrassed to say it? Can’t you say it? Then why don’t I say it for you? You refused the girl and then regretted it, so you came to me, hoping I could help you. If you hadn’t rushed into the situation today, I wouldn’t have been sure of my own suspicions, thinking that you had just rejected someone a girl and wanted to make it up to her, but now that I’ve seen you I think my suspicions would have been correct, and you’ve moved on, haven’t you?
Zain felt a sudden pang in his heart, and pain spread thickly through his limbs, and a pitiless look appeared on his forehead, and he spoke coldly.
-Stop talking nonsense and ruining the reputation of others.
With that, he turned and walked away, this time much faster than before.
However, being both men and equally long-legged, Miguel could keep up even if he walked faster and without any effort.
-Why am I looking at you like you’re upset? You don’t care about the girls, what are you doing running to the police station in such a hurry? I called you ten minutes ago and you arrived ten minutes later? The office must be some distance from here, right?
Surely hitting Zain’s weak spot, Zain paused to shoot him a warning glance.
