Chapter 9 new book (I” II Show you)
A smirk was carved on the man’s face the moment he heard her. He lifted her chin with his cool finger as he spoke. “So that you can pay to damage my car?” he asked, his voice sounding dangerous again, chilly even.
“That is…an extra benefit. This was an accident caused by me and I don’t have the money to pay you. And…. and I don’t want to go to jail.”
“So, if I tell you that I have forgiven you and you don’t need to pay for anything, you don’t offer yourself again like this?”
Luna was surprised but she was quick to realize that this was just a ‘What if scenario he was describing.
Could he be testing her resolve? Luna tried to search for something in his eyes, trying to know if he was serious or just kidding but she couldn’t fathom anything from those eyes of his. It was just impossible to decipher his expression; all she could rely on was her gut feelings.
She didn’t know why but she just felt like both interest and disapproval were coming for him as he spoke to her.
“If you forgive me, I’d appreciate it. But I’d still want to be your girlfriend.” Luna didn’t falter and still insisted on what she wanted.
The man was speechless for a while. To him, the girl was simply intriguing. Countless girls wanted him and once he turned them down, and sent them away, they just left him alone like they were scared little bunnies.
He knew they were scared. All the girls in his life had always been fearful of him even though they tried to deny it.
He could just sense the fear at the bottom of their hearts, and yet, this girl was…. he wondered how long her fearlessness would last if he…
“Tell me, little lamb, why do you want to be my girlfriend that badly?” he asked, his eyes probing.
“Why? Why can’t I?” she shrugged innocently. “Tell me, Mr. Qinn, why are you resisting me that badly?”
“Hahaha, nice come back, Mr. Lee.” The man behind the car was grinning widely as he battled in, watching them with great interest.
But the two were so focused on each other that they didn’t even seem to hear the wheels’ voices across them.
“I don’t understand why you are refusing to try me, Mr. Qinn. I am not an actress like Mr. Moore but I know I don’t look that bad compared to her.” Luna bravely said. She was speaking to him so confidently even though deep with her. She was the one who surprised me the most.
Perhaps, the almost outrageous praises she was always receiving from her family and Kelly about her beauty were boosting her confidence. She didn’t know. She had no idea that she could even talk like this. Since meeting this man, she just kept doing things she had never done before.
All that moment, the man just stared at her his eyes unreadable as he continued to gaze with probing intensity into her eyes, and then a soft, enchanting chuckle left his mouth. She kept her eyes on him and noted that his laughter didn’t reach his eyes.
He leaned in on her, not breaking their eyes. His enchanting face loomed closer, so close that his breath drifted over her face, leaving her dumbstruck.
“Luna Lee…” he uttered her complete name. You’re right….. I remember when you said you will show me how attractive you can be.
I might as well give you a chance to at least prove yourself.” He smirked wickedly. His fingers played with her yellow scarf again before he leaned away.
No matter how she tried, she just couldn’t read anything from him at all; his wicked smirk, his enchanting chuckles, his beautiful icy_ they were not giving anything away, not even a tiny glimpse of his thoughts.
Somehow, Luna managed to react immediately, not letting his spell bind her heart and mind completely.
“Mm, I will show you,” she said, her chin up confidently, showing him all her intensity and determination, causing the man to chuckle again.
“Okay, you go back in your car now, daredevil little lamb or will you cause another accident by leaving your car in the middle of the road like that.” He finally released her from the force of his gaze as he looked at Luna’s car.
“Oop!” she gasped and she quickly moved as if nothing had just happened. She was reacting normally again but before she opened her car door, she paused and looked back.
“Uhm wait, how about…”Luna trailed off. It was because luxury was already back on the road. It appeared that the car was still working. With Mr. Black’s Leather jacket behind the wheel this time.
“Are you sure that your car can manage to send you home?” she said and Mr black Leather jacket half smiled at her.
“Don’t worry, miss, this car is tough,” he said loudly and Luna could only blink.
She then returned her gaze towards Mr. Qinn and when she saw that he had begun walking towards the black Lamborghini, Luna ran after him.
“Wait, please please give me your number,” she said, punching a little portion of his coat and tugging it.
The man didn’t turn to look at her but he lifted his hand, silently asking for her phone.
Luna quickly gave her number to him and in a short while, he gave it back, still not turning to look at her face. Luna stared at his number and dialed it.
The man quietly brought out his phone and showed her its screen.
“I’II send you a message of where and when, “he uttered, and then, he left.
Luna was unable to sleep that night. Her mind was completely occupied by that man. The reason why she didn’t send the message to Mr leather jacket days ago was that Luna made a bet on herself.
That bet was that if she was to see Mr. Qinn again, she would think of it as the world giving her its blessing and granting her what she wished for the most.
She told herself if her paths crossed again without her actively seeking him out, she would never let him go so easily again, nor would she hesitate nor hold back in trying to get what she wanted. She would then think of him as the man that fate was offering to her.
