I want to be responsible for
He rushed forward and gave him a resounding slap. All his agony, fear and misery were all inbedded in that single slap. Everyone was taken aback by the slap. "You idiot, you don't mop the cushion, you dust it" he corrected him quickly.
The mob felt his eyes grow dim with sparkles of star. His eyes and chin instantly turned red. What had he gotten himself into? This fool brought them to terrorize this woman and her children and get them packing out who would have known, he was going to end up being a cleaner.
Mrs Su stood and watched the scene before her. She threw a glance at her daughter who gave a shrug.
As if that humiliation was not enough, Hong Su gave the manager a viscious kick "if you really came to clean the house, why did your boys beat me up?".
The man held his stomach and tried to fake a smile despite the burning and terrible pain he felt. "Sorry about that mister, they lack proper training as a professional cleaner". Turning to the cleaners he yelled "come and apologise to the young master. Didn't you know he is the brother-inlaw of the president and you dare lay your fingers on him? You are both, so stupid that a simple assignment you cannot carry out successfully" he said with eyes popping out.
Joey Jang remained expressionless. This brainless fellow must be thinking he had fooled him with his lies. He was going to ruin him to make up for hurting Lara. He finished smoking his cigareth and beckoned to one of his bodyguards "see that they not only clean the entire apartment, but clear the entire pedestrian from any form of dirt" he said and turned to go.
Mrs Su hurriedly went to him with her hands clasp together. "Thank you president Jang, I don't know what state my children and I would have been at present if it hadn't been your timely intervention " she said with a shaking voice.
He smiled at her and then went away. Lee Liang came close to Lara and whisper "the president wants to see you outside". Lara glance at her mother who gave an affirmative nod.
Lara Su then followed Lee outside. As they got outside, Lara saw a Royce Rolls Silver spirit outside. She felt her heart beats faster. This is the latest and most expensive car in the world. And this car was parked in front of her apartment?
Lee opened the back door for her, she hesistate, but seeing Lee nodding to her, she entered. As she sat, she turned her head and saw Joey drinking mineral water from her split vision. He offered her a bottle of water but she decline with a nod.
He raised her head up and turned her to look at him. Before she could get a proper glare of his face, he kissed her deeply until she was almost gasping for air. She pushed him away and become furious. "Mr Jang...you...should be..have yourself" her voice was choking as she was breathing heavily.
She had never been kissed like this before. It was a blissful moment. She wished it could last forever. Though she had been kissed before by her boyfriend Feng Li, it was nothing compared to what she just experienced.
"I just refered to you as my girlfriend a while ago and you didn't debunked it. I had to kiss you to seal our new found love" Joey said with a poke face. Joey's statement brought Lara back from her world of fantasis.
She blushed and blinked several times. "Why did you want to see me?" Lara asked to cover her shyness
"Thank you for watching my back last night" Joey said and glanced at her. Lara said nothing and looked away. "Am sorry about what happened last night" he said. He was too arrogant to say sorry to anyone but for this girl that risked her life to save him, he had to put his pride down for her.
Lara snapped at him with her eyes "was it you, that took advantage of me last night?" Lara asked furiously.
Joey nodded, accepting his wrongs. He explained to Lara how his bodyguards have taken her to his villa and called his doctor to attend to her. By the time, the doctor finally diagnosed the kind of drug used, it was remaining thirty minutes before it renders her mentally unstable. The only cure for it was for him to have her in order to neutralize the effect of the drugs. He couldn't allow the bodyguards do it and Lee Liang was married. He had to sleep with her himself after all he was the one she was trying to save. And besides, he told her that she was the one begging him for it and if she doesn't believe, he would show her his shirt that she torn.
When Lara heard all that Joey had said, she wondered if he was telling her the truth or not. But which ever way , what has been done cannot be undone.
"That was my first time, how can you just take it" Lara was scolding him. "It's my first time as well and I had to do it. That makes it even right?" Joey replied. He doesn't know if she believes or not, but that's the truth. He'd never had that thing with any woman before.
Lara frowned, how can this man say he'd never done it before? He's rich and wealthy, handsom and admired by many rich ladies. He can't be telling her the truth. He's obviously trying to make her feel special. Whatever, she cared less about that.
"I want to be responsible for you. If you want, we could go to the bureau to get a certificate" Joey said calmely.
If it were any other lady, they would happily have agreed, but not Lara Su. She loved Feng Li and they had been through a lot togther. She couldn't bear to break his heart.
"No, I don't want a marriage certificate with you. I have a boyfriend and we love each other" Lara said.
Joey was surprised. He was a man admired by many ladies and some even wish, If him could just a wave a hand at them and here's someone who's not willing to marry him despite knowing that he took her first time.He never knew there would be a lady who will ever say no to him. "Fine, how then do you want me to repay you?" Joey asked.
How much can he possibly pay to compensate her for what she had lost. Her virginity gone, her job lost. All that she have left was her family and her boyfriend. "I don't want anything from you" Lara declared to him.
He knew she had lost her job this morning but this stinking girl said she want nothing from him. Couldn't she even ask him for a position in his company? "If ever you want anything from me, don't hesitate to come?" Joey concluded.
Lara nodded, but before stepping out, she thanked him for coming to her family's aid today. She stepped out and closed the door.
Joey Jang watched as Lara walked away without looking behind. She's thin with a slightly large hips. He admired her. Not until Lara was out of sight did he instruct Lee to drive.
When Lara went in, she saw the manager and his men panthing. They were sweating profusely as the manager gave Lara a viscious look which emanates a killing intent. If he had knew this is what awaits him, he would not have received bribe from her ex-boss to humiliate her and her family. Now his job was at stake. His company was one of the companies under the Jang group. How much he regretted his actions.
