Chapter 21 Poker Face

Book:Please Let Me Go, Mr. Sheridan Published:2024-8-20

Aurelia carefully distanced herself from him. When she was about to turn around to see who the one was, he disappeared again.
After a few rounds of this, Aurelia got angry and shouted, “Are you here to fight or to fool me? If you want to fight, just bring it on. Why hiding? What on earth do you want?”
A cold snort came from behind.
Hearing the voice made Aurelia get goose bumps all over her body. Could it be that… Callum?
As she expected, the next moment, a familiar figure came into her sight.
The mocking smile on the man’s lips sent shivers down Aurelia’s spine. She forgot for a moment that he was very skilled. She gritted her teeth and said provocatively, “If you want to be beaten, just say so. What are you laughing at? Aren’t you afraid I’m going to knock your teeth out?”
Callum put his hands in his suit trouser pockets while looking lazily at her. “It seems that you have done something that makes those thugs want to knock your teeth out.”
Aurelia had a short temper, leaving her unable to stand the provocation, so she punched him directly.
Callum dodged it easily and continued to goad her. “If you keep acting this rude, be careful that no one will want to marry you in the future!”
After several vain attempts, Aurelia was furious, shouting angrily, “It’s none of your business! You’re the last one I want to marry!”
“Me?” Some complicated feelings flashed across Callun’s eyes, as if he was carefully thinking about what she said.
“Oh… I see.” A malicious smile appeared on the corner of his lips, making Aurelia blush suddenly.
What a scoundrel!
She was beside herself with rage, ready to rip off Callum’s handsome poker face!
Just as Aurelia was about to strike again, Callum’s phone rang in his pocket. He ignored his phone and quickly grabbed her fist, pushing her against the wall.
He put one hand in his trouser pocket and turned off the ringing phone. With the other hand, he grabbed her wrist and put it around her neck. His right knee was against the wall between her legs. The upper bodies of the two were pressed tightly together. Aurelia was restrained so that she couldn’t move.
Feeling Callum’s hot breath brushing against her face, which was a bit itchy, she raised her hand to scratch it, but as soon as she raised it, he pinned her hand against the wall with his other hand.
“Remember what you did to me last time? Let’s settle the score now. How about I strip you naked here?”
Rory, who had finally found him, was taken aback by Callum’s words. The client at the club had been waiting for Callum impatiently. Rory called him several times but he didn’t answer the phone, so the anxious Rory had to look for Callum.
After searching for a long time without success, he suddenly remembered Aurelia was here, so he took his chances and came here. As a result, he did find Callum here.
But he also saw him making out with Aurelia.
Oh! Maybe it was kismet that Callum and Aurelia were meant to be together.
Aurelia’s face was red. Though she had always been carefree, she had never been teased by a man like this. Callum was definitely the first…
Hearing his shameless words made her really not know how to respond, “Let go of me, or I will scream for help!”
“Go right ahead!” Callum had a very casual expression.
When Aurelia was about to shout, she saw Rory standing not far away. She was like seeing a savior. “Rory, your boss is insane. Please come and save me!”
Rory was so scared that he turned around and ran away before muttering, “I didn’t hear anything!” He didn’t have a nerve to interfere in Callum’s personal affairs.
Besides, the fight between a couple was none of his business.
“Mrs. Finnegan, take care!” he said inwardly.
“Rory!” Aurelia looked at Rory desperately as he disappeared around the corner of the alley.
There was a restroom near the alley. Aurelia wondered why there was no one using the restroom at the moment, leaving her with no one to call for help.
Bad luck! It seemed like Aurelia had no other option. Ssuppressing her emotions, she smiled silently and looked at Callum in front of her before saying, “Mr. Finnegan, please be magnanimous, and go easy on a woman like me, okay?”
Unexpectedly, he looked her up and down, with a look of sarcasm on his face, “You? A woman?”
In Callum’s eyes, Aurelia didn’t look like a woman at all. Though her curvy figure was alluring…
Callum moved his hand downwards, and Aurelia froze. How dare he take advantage of her again?
She roared inside. Aurelia tried to subdue Callum with all her strength, but it was useless no matter how hard she tried. Her face turned red and she hissed through her gritted teeth. “Callum, you bastard!”
He smiled faintly, knowing that she was very angry, and then slowly let go of her. When he spoke again, he had returned to his usual indifference. “Next time you see me, take a detour!”
He remembered he was a married man…
When Aurelia appeared on the street with an angry face, Liana had already sung several songs with her guitar. Only a few people around stopped and listened to her singing seriously, and the others basically just passed by and took a look.
Liana finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Aurelia come back after disappearing for nearly half an hour.
At the end of a song, only one person put five dollars in the iron box in front of the instrument.
In fact, Liana was a very good singer. The reason why they were able to get along together was because they had a common hobby, which was singing.
Though Aurelia had a wonderful voice, her singing skills were poor, devoid of any professional guidance.
She let out a sigh, put her annoying husband out of her mind, picked up the guitar, and slowly sang, “I see your monsters, I see your pain. Tell me your problems, I’ll chase them away…”
At the club.
As Rory pushed open the door of the room, Callum’s tall figure appeared at the door.
Callum’s client was initially angry, because Callum was more than ten minutes late, but when he saw Callum, he immediately shut up and quickly put on a flattering smile before greeting him, “Mr. Finnegan, you are finally here!”
“Yeah.” Callum glanced at the man’s outstretched hand indifferently, ignored it, and sat down.
The man looked extremely unhappy, but considering Callum’s status, he approached cautiously. “Mr. Finnegan, let me pour you wine first.”
Rory spoke up, “Sorry, Mr. Howard, Mr. Finnegan has been having stomachaches recently and can’t drink.”
The man, David Howard, became more embarrassed. It was ZL Group that had approached him for cooperation first. Why was it that Callum wanted to take control of the situation?
