But what Zain could be sure of was that the girl didn’t want to hear him explain what had happened that night.
In that case, let him leave it at that.
However, there were some things he needed to know.
He stepped forward and grabbed Yanis’ wrist, pulling her towards his car without waiting for her reaction. Yanis only felt the strength that belonged to him in her wrist, so heavy that it gave her a little tug.
She tried to struggle, but his strength was like chains, so heavy that she could not break free.
Soon she was dragged to the car and, after seeing him open the door, she stood there reluctantly, not wanting to get in.
-If what I want to say is about your blind date, don’t you want to know too?
“Blind date? Gaitan?”
-What do you mean by that? -Yanis looked at him with a slight frown.
-If you want to know, get in the car.
“Are you threatening me?”
Yanis’ eyes widened and he got into the car after thinking about it.
The girl finally got into the car and Zain sighed in relief and sat in the driver’s seat.
When she got into the car, the girl stood still and didn’t even mind Zain asking her to put on her seat belt, so Zain had no choice but to lean over and fasten it himself.
But just as his hand crossed Yanis’ face, Yanis spoke quickly,
-What about my blind date? Tell me quickly, I’ll get out of the car when I’m done, no need to buckle up.
When her words were finished, Zain’s hand was already on the seat belt, and the look that came over her face was a little colder, but Zain’s tone was a little colder than that look.
-I promised your mother I would get you home safely.
-That’s what you promised, I didn’t promise -Yanis looked away from her, not wanting to look at her at all, his eyes full of disgust -If you have something to say, say it, and if you don’t say it again, I’ll leave.
With her like that, Zain couldn’t help but soften his tone a bit.
-Are you really not wearing your seatbelt? And you don’t need a ride home?
-No,” Yanis said stubbornly and firmly.
There was a moment of silence in the car, and Zain finally withdrew his hand.
After a while, he handed her a copy of the information.
At the sound of the paper, Yanis turned his head to see that a copy of the information had indeed been handed over, and suspicion rose in his heart.
-What is it? And what does it have to do with Gaitán? -He didn’t take it, but asked Zain about it.
-It’s the profile of your blind date.
-Did you investigate it?
He gave her a look, then Zain looked away to look straight ahead and said indifferently,
-Do you know what kind of person you’re dating? What have you done that you don’t let people know before a blind date?
It was true that Yanis didn’t know Gaitan very well, but since he was introduced to Cristina, she agreed to go on a blind date because she was a little angry. But a blind date didn’t mean marriage, so if they didn’t get along, they would have to break up.
And dating was something that was supposed to be about getting to know each other little by little while spending time together.
Yanis looked at Zain with a much colder look on his face as he thought about it.
-Of course I understand, why else would I go on a blind date if not, what do you have to say with this researched information?
The young woman was now very hostile towards him, and to get angry, she told him that she had met the other man, and if she had really met him, why would she have gone on a blind date with that man?
Not to mention herself, her parents would not approve.
However, she had no intention of reading the information and Zain pursed his lips and merely said.
-And did you know about the time he spent in jail for swindling the girls?
The words came without warning and Yanis felt a little overwhelmed by the reaction.
-What did you say?
This was something Yanis had not expected at all. Although she thought there was something wrong with Gaitan, she had not expected to be in jail for a crime.
Or rather, he had never thought in that direction.
Now Zain broke the news to her so abruptly that it not only made her reel, it made her face feel hot.
Because actually even she didn’t realize who she was dating and now Zain came with information to tell her.
Yanis’ hands on her lap tightened, her brain had tied itself into a knot she couldn’t untie, and whatever Zain was doing now, she felt particularly ridiculous.
-It was also Jack who first realized that something wasn’t right, and I felt it necessary to look into it for security reasons.
The man’s faint voice rang out in the car, and to Yanis it was as if the other man carried an aura of charity.
His hands tensed and loosened, and finally he raised his head toward him.
-So what?
Zain pursed his lips and looked at her, waiting for her next words.
-Even if I’ve been in jail, so what?
This comment made Zain frown.
-Do you know what you’re talking about?
-Of course I do.
Yanis smiled and leaned close to Zain, breathing very close to each other, a great mockery was thick in Yanis’ eyes.
-You’re trying to tell me that I’m a fool, that I’m too stupid to notice a problem that Jack knows about, aren’t you?
Looking at Yanis, who stood so close, Zain couldn’t tell how he felt.
He felt his heart seem to flutter with her as he moved a little closer, and with the sarcasm that showed in the girl’s eyes, what little affection there was in the man’s heart disappeared cleanly again.
-You know that’s not what I meant.
-I don’t want to know what you meant, I already told you, didn’t I? I’m not going to bother you again, and I’ve also told you not to see me again in the future, I don’t want to see you.
One sentence after another, Yanis jabbed the words into Zain’s heart.
-Besides, even if my date has been in jail, that’s still my business, and since I don’t want to see you again, that means my business is none of your business. Even if I marry a murderer in the future, it’s none of your business.
The more he said, the colder the smile on Yanis’ lips became.
It was really ridiculous that he had to do all these things when he clearly didn’t like her and clearly loathed her, what was he doing? Giving her handouts? Did he really think she was a beggar? Did he deserve to run to his heart’s content, push her away and automatically cower in a corner?
Now she realized how mean she had been and how ungenerous her heart had been. She simply couldn’t stand this, at all.
-Don’t be capricious,” Zain frowned at her words.
