2025-04-11 20:22:56Claudia was shocked. She tried to free herself but his hands were so strong. She could only struggle. "Do you really have some kind of mental condition? Ba...Baby? Let go of me this instant!" Claudia demanded.
However, Richardpretended not to hear her. He removed his hand from his waist and put it around her shoulders, then he pulled her closer. "Dad, Matt, I really did not want to tell you before because Claudia baby wanted to hide it but I can't keep it a secret anymore! I really want to tell the truth. That's right, Claudia and I are a couple!" Richardsaid
Claudia felt like she was going to choke on her spit. What?! Claudia Baby?! What is going on with this person? She had come here because she wanted to talk about how they were going to resolve this crazy story of her being a couple with this idioit and now what is this idiot saying? That it's true? Claudia continued to struggle but his grip was just too firm. What does he want from her?!
"What do you think that you are doing? Let go of me this instant! What nonsense are you talking about?!" Claudia yelled. She was yet to figure out what was going on.
But Richardwas persistent. He continued to smile sweetly at her and it freaked Claudia out! What is he doing right now? Richardwas having a great time. Thinking about it now this scandal doesn't affect him in any way. Even if it did affect him in some way, as long as if was going to make Claudia suffer he was ready to do it.
"I really don't want to hide our relationship any longer. We have already been hiding it for so long. Since they have found out about it, there's no need for us to continue to hide like this. Let's just tell them the truth baby" Richardsaid.
Claudia felt like she was going to faint! Baby?! Why does this word sound so creepy coming from this fool? "Hey, let go of me this instant! Who is in a relationship with you? I don't have anything to do with you so let go of me this instant!" Claudia said. But it was as if he could not hear any of the things that she was saying to him. He just continued to hold on to her like she is his property.
On the other hand Peter, Matt and Rose were looking at the both of them in shock. What is going on right now? In a relationship? Tell the truth? Baby Claudia?! The three of them were short of words. How did something like this happen? Just a few minutes, weren't the both of them swearing that they don't have anything to do with each other? How is this even possible?
Matt was the one who spoke up. "Wait, Ryder, what is going on right now? Didn't you just say that you don't have anything to do with Claudia? How is that you are in a relationship with her now?" Matt asked. He could almost guess what Richardwas trying to do but he did not want to believe it. He did not want to think that Richardwas going to be this petty just because he got into a little argument with her.
"When did I tell you that? Let me tell you
something. Claudia and I are really going out. It's really difficult to meet her in secret. I really must thank who took the pictures. Because of him, we don't have to hide anymore. Isn't that right baby?" Richardasked. He turned and gave her a sweet....and sick smile.
Claudia was so angry. "Are you crazy?! What nonsense are you talking about? You and who met in secret? You really are a mental patient? Don't be ashamed to seek help you really should get your brain checked!" Claudia yelled.
Rose moved closer to Claudia. She too was surprised. Claudia was almost swearing at Richardwhen they were coming but now what? They have been seeing each other in secret?! How is that possible?
"Claudia, you and Richarddidn't you sat that there is nothing going on between the both of you? What is he talking about how? Did you...." Rose did not complete her sentence.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Of course we are not in a relationship! I don't even know this idoit!" Claudia said.
"There is no need for you to be shy. If you don't want the public to know about our relationship, you can still continue to hide it. You know that I love you and I respect your decisions. It's just that we should let them people that are close to us know about it right? Besides, you are the one who wanted to let them know. You've been pestering me about it for some time now. Don't you think that it turned out perfectly?" Richardasked. All this time, he did not stop holding her to himself .
Claudia felt like she was going to cough out some blood. "How can you lie with such a straight face? You and I don't have anything to do with each other and you know that! What nonsense are you talking about?" Claudia asked. She was so angry.
Richarddid not say anything to this. He just smiled at her. Maybe Richardthought that his smile was charming but Claudia thought that it was scary!
Peter felt that he had enough. He did not want to put up with this anymore. Richardclearly said just now that he doesn't have anything to do with Claudia but now he is suddenly in a relationship with her? What is going on here? What is Richardtrying to do? He did not want to listen to the both of them arguing back and forth anymore. He just wanted to get to the bottom of this so that he could know how to deal with this situation.
"Really what is going on with the both of you? Are you going out or not? Stop arguing here!" Peter said. He was starting to get frustrated just listening to the both of them go back and forth on this. It was so annoying!
Richardsmiled. He got Claudia now. Little by little he is going to get his revenge on her does she can think that she can do whatever she wants to him?
"Of course it's true. The both of us are really going out. But it's just that Claudia is flustered right now. I have something to say to her. I hope that you guys don't mind" Richardsaid. Then he faced Claudia. "let's go Baby" he said.
The three of them could only watch with thier mouth wide open as Richardpulled Claudia out of the office.
"Let of of me! Let go of me this instant! Are you stupid?! I said let go of me!" Claudia continued to yell as Richardpulled her along. She was really angry. No matter how much she shouted and protested, he did not let go of her. Instead, he dragged her to the elevator. Then he hit the button for the top floor. As he pulled her along, they attracted a lot of attention but Richarddid not care. That was what he wanted. The more people saw them, the more difficult it would be for her right?
But Claudia did not think so. She was so angry that she felt like coughing up blood! What is this person doing to her right now? It was only the both of them in the elevator. She could finally unleash her anger on him right now.
"What do you think that you are doing? Are you crazy?! Do you think that I am someone that that you can mess with? I'm telling you that I won't let this go at all! I'm going to make sure that I get back at you for doing this to me!" Claudia swore.
Richardpretended as if he did not hear the words that she said. He just continued to smile at her. "Really? You are going to make me pay? If anyone should be paying it should be you! Have you forgotten how you humiliated me?" He asked. There was a playful smile on his face and it really made Claudia sick to her stomach!
Claudia could finally see what he was getting at now. It was because of what happened! But he deserved it! Even if he really is a CEO, how dare he walk into her car and demand a ride from her? "What do you want from me? So you really are the CEO of this company? So what?! What does it have to do with me!" Claudia yelled.
Richardsmirked. "Yes, I am the CEO, do you believe it now?" He asked.
"And so what if you are the CEO? It has nothing to do with me! You also didn't believe that I am a celebrity!" Claudia yelled at him.
"I think you've forgotten about your second identity. The daughter of the chairman" Richardsaid. He was reminding her of the time when she said that if he is the CEO then she is the Chairman's daughter.
Claudia did not say anything to him this time. She just looked away.
Richardwasn't done talking to her though. "I really did not know that my father had a daughter like you. What a shame!" Richardsaid.
Claudia turned and glared at him. "What do you really want from me? Why are you doing this to me?" Claudia asked.
"What do I want? What do you think I want from you?" Richardasked. He stepped closer to her, Claudia stepped back. They continued like this until Claudia had her back on the wall.
"You...you...stay away from me..." Claudia said.
"Why do you think?" Richardasked. He leaned closer to her. Thier lips were close to each other now, almost touching.
"You, what are you doing? I'm telling you don't try anything funny with me!" Claudia yelled. She was trying to sound firm but her voice was already shaking.
Richardcould see that she was shaking. "Do you think that I want to do anything to you?!" Richardretorted. Then he pulled her away from her.
Just then, the elevator stopped. Richardstepped out. But he did not forget to drag Claudia with him. He took her to the rooftop.
"Hey, what are you doing right now? What do you really want from me? Do you not know what is happening right now? Everyone thinks that the both of us are in a relationship! You know that is not true! Why did you tell them that we are seeing each other? What do you want from me? Is it because of what happened? Don't you think that you are being too much right now?" Claudia asked. She decided to talk calmly with him. Maybe he will stop this way.
Richardscoffed. "being too much? I don't think so at all. I'm actually having a lot of fun right now" Richardsaid.
Claudia sighed. She really wanted to open his head and see what is inside. What is he thinking right now? "What do you reallywant from me? What do you want before you stop doing this to me?" Claudia asked.
"What I want? Aren't you an actress? I felt like acting, so I decided to give it a try. Say, what do you of my acting just now?" Richardasked. He was really having fun. He had the upper hand right now after all. He definitely was going to show her! She dared to make fun of her. He won't let it go this easily at all!
Claudia was really angry now. She had thought that words could get through to this person but clearly she was wrong. Words can't get to him at all! "Fine! You want to act right? Let's act!" She said.

One word popped in her mind to describe the man in front of her and that was the fact that he was a pervert!"What did I do?" Richardasked nonchalantly. When it came to acting shamelessly, there really was no one who could beat him up to it."You.. you were clearly taking advantage of me!" Claudia said."So...?" He asked raising an eyebrow. At least, he did not regret it. Her waist .. it was soft to the touch!"Pervert!" Claudia spat out the word in her mind."Pervert? Since you are already accusing me, I should act like one right?" Richardasked.Claudia felt her face go red. She had always been the one embarrassing people with her words. She was suddenly faced with a completely shamel

You have another reason right? What's it?""You figured it out?" He asked him.Matt smiled knowingly.
