Her waist was tightly constricted. Ranita felt like she was going to vomit. She reached out and pinched the man’s arm, but it was as hard as reinforced concrete. She gritted her teeth in anger and said, “Let go of me!”
“Ranita, who bit your lips?” Brendon stared at her with dark, devouring eyes.
“You did! It was you!” Ranita bared her teeth. If he had the guts, he should have embraced her in front of Shannon!
Ranita was infuriated by her own dangerous thoughts. Stop, stop!
“Don’t get so close to Augustus, or else…” The man’s low breath whispered in her ear, making Ranita itch uncontrollably.
“Or else… I’ll bite you every time I see him.”
“You…” Just then, the sound of high heels approached. Ranita immediately pushed him away. “Let go, someone’s coming!”
Brendon didn’t move, as if waiting for her answer.
Ranita’s eyes burned with anger. “Brendon, be reasonable! We’ve been divorced for years, and it has nothing to do with you who I get close to!”
“Let go, or I’ll call the police!”
Brendon still held onto her.
The footsteps grew closer, pounding on Ranita’s heart, causing her to tremble.
In the end, Ranita gave up. “Brendon, let go! I won’t get so close to Augustus, okay?”
“Release me quickly!”
“Later, I’ll let you have something in return!” Brendon whispered softly.
“Huh?” Ranita looked at him in astonishment. “Are you crazy?”
“Hmm?” Brendon tilted his head and looked at her, as if he wouldn’t let go unless she agreed.
Ranita was so angry she almost fainted. Brendon, this despicable scoundrel taking advantage of the situation!
But the footsteps were getting closer. Ranita’s mind was in chaos, and she could no longer think straight.
“Ranita…” Brendon softly called her, his voice tinged with a hint of coquetry and pleasantry.
Ranita’s emotions became complicated.
“Fine!”
The footsteps approached, and just when Ranita thought they would be discovered, Brendon let go of her in time and stepped back a couple of paces.
Fortunately, the person who approached was a stranger to both of them.
The person glanced at them and entered the restroom. Ranita breathed a sigh of relief, deciding not to go to the restroom and turned to escape.
As she walked back, Ranita’s mind remained in turmoil. She was a complete mess. One moment she wanted to sit next to Brendon voluntarily, but…
Just thinking about it was exhilarating.
Ranita rubbed her temples, but as she reached the door, Holly stopped her. “Ranita! Were you doing that on purpose just now?”
“Miss Stuart, you’ve misunderstood me! I agreed to give up and let Shannon have it. Yet you still scold me… Being a good person is really difficult!”
“Who do you think you are, calling yourself a good person?” Holly’s eyes widened in anger. “If you dare to ruin Shannon’s happiness again, I’ll teach you a lesson!”
“That emerald set is only fitting for Shannon! You better be smarter!”
Ranita pursed her lips and smiled. “In an auction, whoever has the money gets it.”
“Heh! Do you think my brother will lose to that ugly freak by your side?”
Holly’s words infuriated Ranita.
Ranita raised her hand and slapped her directly. Holly was caught off guard and was left dumbfounded.
“Holly, I warn you to show some respect for my friend! If you dare to say a single bad word about Augustus, I’ll smash your mouth!”
