Elena did not know how Henry did it. He did not drive past the speed limit, nor did he drive out of the designated lane, but he had managed to lose their tail. It was amazing!
She had also noticed the car. When Henry stepped on the accelerator, she turned around and saw the vehicle also sped up to match their speed. However, after two intersections, the car was no longer visible.
“We were trailed?” She felt a cold shudder run through her body.
“It’s okay. It was probably because of me.” Henry did not want her to worry.
“This is downtown. They won’t dare to try anything here. It might just be the paparazzi who wanted some gossip.”
That was a justifiable argument. It was common for VIPs like Second Young Master Sharp to be chased around by the paparazzi for some juicy news. Elena was relieved and looked at Henry again. He was handsome and extremely good looking, and his manly ponytail refined his features even more. One might also call him a beauty.
Suddenly, she smiled cheekily. “I heard that you have never had a single scandal all these years?”
“What?” Sharp Corporation was right ahead. Henry slowed his car and drove into the compound through the main gate.
Elena held her mobile phone, and scrolled through the latest news updates. Then she said, “A rich, handsome young man with a beautiful muscular body, and a very kind person to boot. How could you not have any scandal?”
“The people speculating about Second Young Master Sharp might have a special interest?”
She had been reading the news and did not notice that Henry’s face had turned sullen and dark. The girl was still immersed in her own little world and carried on casually, “Actually, it is rather weird.”
“So, you think that I have a problem?” The man’s voice became low and deep. His tone sounded scary.
“If I said yes, would you be angry?”
The car stopped abruptly with a screech.
“Argh!” Elena’s hand shook, and her phone flew out of her hand and landed on the floor of the car with a thud.
“Why did you stop so suddenly?” She wanted to pick up the mobile phone, but he grabbed her hand when she reached out.
“You…”
She was dumbfounded. The very next second, the man pressed down on her against the large leather seat.
“Henry, you… What are you doing?”
“Do you also think that I have a problem?” He had not had any scandal over the years, did that mean he did not like women and prefer men instead? He could let the other things go, but how could he ignore such a remark from her?
“I… I was kidding…”
“Why would you joke about something like that?” Henry’s face grew even darker.
Elena smiled in embarrassment. “Isn’t this… a rumor that is circulating online? How do I know…”
“Are you also suspicious of me?” He suddenly pressed down on her, and she was so frightened that she almost forgot to breathe. The two were so close to each other; it was like their bodies had stuck together.
“Is that what you think of me?”
He did not know why he even cared about what she thought. He had seen those rumors on the Internet. He had always been noncommittal, and he also did not feel anything when he read them. However, when a girl he liked doubted him, he was angry and went out of control. Did he look gay? Did she mean he was not masculine enough?
“I—” Elena looked at his face as she tried to say something, but no words came out.
She had suspected that he was gay. She knew that Second Young Master Sharp hated it when women approached him. He would be disgusted whenever a woman went near him. Besides, he also looked sumptuous. His face and skin were perfect and flawless that even a girl would be jealous. Even Elena was envious of his gorgeous appearance. How could a man look better than a woman?
Even though he was not as flirty as a woman and he was tough and masculine, his face was too attractive. When they went out, she realized that not only would the women ogle at her, he would take the men’s breath away too. A man as beautiful as him would be easy to capture the attention of both women and men. He had the same lethality over both genders!
Henry could read the message in her eyes, and he almost went crazy. It looked like she also thought he had a problem, and she also thought he was not a normal man? That bloody girl! How dare she thought of him that way!
“Henry… You! What are you doing?”
“Didn’t you suspect that I don’t like women?”
He unfastened Elena’s seat belt with a click. Henry adjusted his posture in his seat, and his arms tightened around Elena. He managed to transplant her onto his seat even before she could yelp.
“Henry!” She was terrified. He had put her on his lap with his legs apart!
Her body pressed against him due to the momentum. Elena hurriedly stretched out her hands to push against his chest; she wanted to push him away from her!
“Second Young Master Sharp, I did not doubt you, absolutely not! You don’t need to prove anything to me!”
That scene was too familiar to her because she had read too many romance novels!
She knew that misunderstandings frequently happened in those novels. The female lead would suspect that the male lead was abnormal, and the male lead would be infuriated. To prove that he was no different from any normal man, the male lead would swallow the female lead… in one big gulp! However, Henry was not her male lead, and she was not the female lead in his life. It was too weird for them to do that!
“I trust you. I really do trust you! Second Young Master Sharp, stop playing such a naive game. I’ll admit that I was wrong!”
Henry did not look well. His long arms rested on the back of her waist, so Elena had no way to run.
“Trust?” She looked more panicked that she trusted him. Her so-called trust was because of fear. She said that so that he would let her go, did she not?
“I shouldn’t look at those gossips, nor should I just doubt your sexual orientation. I… I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it!”
Oh, God! Oh, God! What did she touch? She accidentally sat on a place that she should sit and hit a place that she should not touch! That man… What did he want to do? How could his body react to her?
“Don’t move!” Henry held her body down to prevent her from moving. Only God would know what was in his mind. He had lost control over his body the moment he pulled the girl over to him. His muscles were tense, and he was stiff! She kept squirming, and it awakened the beast in his mind. He would not be able to control himself if she kept moving. The creature would be out with its claws and sharp teeth.
Elena did not dare to move. She was no longer a naive girl who had never been with a man. She was so anxious that there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, and she looked down worriedly at the man whose lap she was on.
“I’m not moving, you… Let me go, and I’ll get up.”
Henry also wanted her to get up, but his arms did not listen to his command. He did not want to let go of her waist. Was it because he had never been with a woman? Did he lose control so easily because he had never touched a woman before?
