Thomas asks the question casually, but it leaves Naomi speechless with a blank mind. She doesn’t know what to answer or how to react.The situation in the car becomes so quiet. And suddenly…“Tin! Tinnnnn!!!”A car honks so long from behind. Thomas realizes that the traffic light has already turned green. So he continues driving, shaking his head slightly with an amused smile, ignoring Naomi in her confusion.He doesn’t seem too disappointed not to get a definite answer from her. On the contrary, he would be very unhappy if the girl gave him a promise with sweet words like what Sylvia Williamson gave him two weeks ago.Until more than 10 minutes in the journey, the awkwardness is still clearly visible on Naomi's face. So Thomas speaks up first to change the mood.“You don’t need to worry about my legs. It will be back to normal in a day or two.”Naomi’s face turns bright after hearing it.“I get it that you’ve said in front of people that I am your boyfriend,” Thomas continues. “There
Oliver is gawking with a disbelieving face. He feels satisfied, but also looks somewhat awry about what will happen after this.It has also caught the attention of few reporters not too far from there. They recognize Naomi very well, and are now looking curious with Veronica’s identity.“Who is that girl?”“Does she really know who is the one she just slapped?”Naomi rubs her red cheek. Her eyes are lit with rage, gazing sharply at Laura’s daughter. She looks so pissed off, to find a teenage girl has the audacity to slap her. But then she turns to Thomas, disappointed at something.“Shouldn’t you protect me?” she grunts with a restrained hoarse voice.“You expect me to protect you from her? That girl?” Thomas asks, his face slightly winced while pointing a finger at Veronica.Naomi looks irritated. But she then averts her attention back to Veronica.“What are you waiting for?” Veronica scolds. “Get the hell out of here and take that stinky man of yours with…”Plak!!! Naomi simply pays
Thomas takes a cold glance at them while holding the car door, with face remains flat at the sight of their desperation.He gets into the car, and finds Naomi welcoming him with a sweet smile.“Do you love seeing them in that situation?” Naomi teases.“How would I be satisfied when it wasn’t me who did it?” Thomas denies as he starts the car.Naomi giggles with a silly face. “I know what you feel. You don’t need to hide it from me!”Thomas seems trying hard to ignore her by focusing on driving the car, but the girl finds it amusing.Soon, she remembers something important, and takes out the necklace Erica found yesterday.Once she shows it off…Screech!!!Thomas hits the brakes. He looks so shocked, and immediately snatches the necklace away. It catches Naomi by surprise.“So, it’s really yours?” she asks.“Where did you find it?” Thomas inquires. “Did you steal it when I was unconscious?”His eyes are icy cold, looking angry at something. The mood inside the car slowly turns dark. Now
The man doesn’t finish his words, and then glances at Joaquin with murderous eyes. It isn’t clear what kind of sinister intention he has in his mind.It sends shivers down Joaquin’s spine. He believes those two gentlemen must be the thugs Donovan hired to destroy his house, and came here to give their report to their boss.Donovan looks back at Joaquin, and suddenly scolds him. “What are you doing here? Want me to put a bullet in that numb skull of yours?”Without waiting for any response from Joaquin, the old man gets into his office by inviting the two thugs in. And Joaquin, he immediately rushes towards the elevator in a hectic way.“I’m not safe here! I need to leave this city!”He looks impatient, pressing a certain button on the elevator while glancing toward Donovan's office with a frightened face.Truth to be told, those two thugs have nothing to do with Joaquin or his family. They are actually ordered by Donovan to take care of Thomas.“Have you killed him?” asks Donovan befor
Without asking any more questions, Naomi gets down while covering her head. But that’s not enough, because Thomas doesn’t want her to see him doing anything odds. He has no choice but takes off his suit and uses it to cover Naomi’s head.“What the?” Naomi looks displeased, intending to get the suit away.But then, the mysterious men in the muscle car begin to open fire. So, Thomas simply holds Naomi’s head down and issues a specific command.“Inventory! Box No. 9!”A second later, Naomi notices the appearance of blue light. And soon…Boom!!!She is surprised by the sound of an explosion nearby and covers her head with Thomas’ suit by instinct.Moments later, she collects her courage to take a peek, and there she sees Thomas holding a grenade in his right hand, with its pin already in his teeth.“Woooaaa!!! Where did you get that thing?”Thomas simply glances at her, which of course makes her panic even more. How could she not, he has already removed the grenade pin, yet he is still hol
Naomi looks disgusted at the woman's spoiled behavior, especially after hearing what the woman say. “What do you mean by your car? And, what the hell are you doing here in my house?”“Naomi! I’m you mother, remember?” replies the woman.“What the?” Naomi’s face contorts so badly.“It’s only natural that I show a sense of ownership,” the woman continues naïvely. “Everything belongs to your father, and everything belongs to you, is mine too. Isn’t that what family means?”Naomi shrugs with a disbelieving face. “Yo! What kind of stupid logic you are bringing up here? Since when did you become a part of my family? Just because you’ve slept with my dad once or twice, doesn’t make you my mom. I bet you are not the only woman my dad has had a sex with in the last three months.”“Honey! You shouldn’t talk like that about your father!” The woman comes closer, intending to caresses Naomi’s chin.Instantly, Naomi knocks the woman's hand away and steps back. Her back shivers in horror and disgust.
Thomas stares at Adam with eyes lit with fury. He can’t help but remembers the bad treatment he received from the Gregory family two days ago.Driven by anger, he slowly clenches his hands by scratching the ground. Unlike two days ago, his two feet can support him to get up and confront Adam Saunders.“So you want to see how strong I am? Wanna test it first hand?”He doesn’t care who Adam Saunders is. There are also so many of Adam’s guards around, but he doesn’t give a damn.Adam's facial expression slightly changes at the sight of Thomas’ recklessness. This is the first time someone has the nerve to confront him this way.“Do you realize your situation, young man? Look around you!” Adam reprimands.But Thomas isn’t averting his attention away from him. He keeps staring at Adam with murderous eyes.Naomi, who has already learned a little about Thomas' character, and has seen for herself how crazy Thomas was a while ago, immediately stands in front of her father.“Thomas! Wait! That’s
Naomi responds to Thomas' words with a silly reaction. And that is enough to convince Thomas that the girl is completely ignorant of the corruption in Drada Police Department.Besides, he could tell for sure that even her father, Adam Saunders, is nothing but a clean businessman who doesn’t know much about the organized crimes in Drada.“Now I’m curious, where did your father know that woman?” he asks.“Who? That Anastasia Nixon?” replies Naomi with a bit of wrinkled face. “Don't tell me you really have an interest in her!”“Give me a break!” Thomas responds with a cringe expression.“Why? Don’t you see her attractive? Despite her toxic behavior, she is actually a former flight attendant. My father met her on a flight home from Greinia.”Thomas grimaces. “Are you sure she is a former flight attendant?”“What? You think she is not pretty enough for a flight attendant?”“That’s not it,” Thomas shakes his head. “It’s just that… You know I was being hunted down by some dangerous people las
