"What's wrong with Little Love? Why did he suddenly fall ill?" Geneva asked after they settled the kid in her room.
They were currently in the living room, talking about the situation of the kid.
"He was just fine a while ago. Now, why is he sick?" Geneva added. She looked weirdly at the man.
Chen Lei sat on the sofa. He leaned his back against the small brown sofa and spread his arms on the backrest, legs crossed into four positions. He appeared so free.
The way he sat made him look so almighty yet cold and arrogant. "Don't look at me like that."
Geneva leaned against the wall, leaving three meters of distance between them. As if he was a virus that she needed to keep some social distance from. "President Chen, tell me, how can you be like this?"
Chen Lei raised a brow. "What? I don't get you."
"Don't you really get me or you just don't want to understand me? President Chen, your son is having a fever. He is sick, can't you see? How could you still act so calm?"
Chen Lei stared at the woman, then tilted his head, like he was looking at an i***t. "Miss Sanchez, if I show I'm worried, will his fever subsided or disappear right away? Worrying won't help anyway. Why bother?"
Geneva laughed. She laughed sarcastically until her stomach felt uncomfortable.
Chen Lei just let her be. He did not frown or show some changes on his face although it was obvious that the woman was ridiculing him.
After more than a minute of laughing, the woman heard the man say something shortly after she stopped. "Are you done? Tell me why you're so happy?"
Geneva sniffed, wiping the tip of her nostrils. "President Chen, you must be kidding me. I'm laughing not because I'm happy. I'm laughing because I found myself so pathetic. Why did I not think of it? Yeah right, you can't be worried. You know what? Because you have never had any emotions. You have never been a human to anyone." She pointed at the door, face did not look good. There was endless disappointment and hatred in her eyes towards the man. "You don't have to worry about your son. If needed, I will bring him to the hospital myself which I never wish to happen. But right now, I wish you to leave. I feel sick watching your face."
"What? Does seeing my face make you remember the past?" Chen Lei smirked. "The past which makes you remember how you hurt me? Miss Sanchez, I never thought you're such a woman. It has already happened for so long. Since it's in the past, why are you still lingering on it? Or, you're happy to see me through pain again and again? I really don't understand. It's you who hurt me. But why is it still you who are mad at me?"
Geneva put down her arms, confused. A fake laugh came out her mouth. "President Chen, did you just hit your brain in the wall or damage your brain with something? Why did I find you spouting nonsense here? Well, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. You can rest assured. I will take care of your son. But please leave my house. Can you do that favor for me?"
Chen Lei stood up and sauntered towards the woman. His eyes darkened. His hands balled on his sides. "Miss Sanchez, do you know how annoying you are? Don't you know that if you act like this, you're enticing me to do something to you that I should not? Huh?"
"What are you doing? Are you planning to use your superiority again on me? You're just good at bullying weak people." Geneva stepped back.
"Weak?" Chen Lei chuckled. His chuckle sounded devilish but he looked quite hot and seductive by doing it. "You got the nerve to toy me before and you still dare call yourself weak?" The man clapped his hands. "Miss Sanchez, you're amazing. I am speechless to you. How ridiculous you are!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? You, stop right there. Don't come over!" The woman said as she kept retreating while the man also kept going. He looked down on her as he was taller than her. "Otherwise, I'll call the police."
"How absurd!" Chen Lei grinned. He really looked like a devil at the moment. "Weren't you strong to oppose me all the time? Weren't you strong enough to stop the knife for Allen and ignore your own safety? Weren't you gutsy to hurt me knowing my power? How thick really is your face to say that you're weak? How could you show off in front of others but acting weak in front of me? Do you think I'll soften if you're acting fragile to me? How stupid!"
"Go away. I'm warning you. Go away!" Geneva pushed him but he did not even budge an inch. "President Chen, this is my house and you're just a guest. Please watch your attitude. Why can't you stop pestering me? Didn't you already dump me before? Why don't you just disappear from my life and focus on your fiancée like before?"
Chen Lei nodded. "Yeah! Like before. I dumped you for my fiance and she is amazing than you are. Why am I really sticking my attention to you?"
"Right. You have a fiancée. So you must be careful of all your actions. You should protect your image as a great man. If your princess lover knows that you're flirting with another woman, what do you think will happen?" Geneva said as she fearlessly met the sharp and intense gaze of the man. However, afraid to let the man touch even an inch of her skin, she did not stop stepping backwards.
Chen Lei suddenly burst into laughter. "Interesting!"
"What are you laughing at? Do you know you look like a devil when you're acting like that? Well, that's always how you are."
After endless retreats, Geneva bumped her back against the door of her room unknowingly. Because of that, the man got the chance to corner her. He blocked her, pressing his palms on that door on both sides near her head.
"Go away!" The woman pursed her lips, face flushed, suppressing her anger.
"Pssh!" Chen Lei fiddled the hair of the woman on her forehead and tucked the strands behind her air seductively. "Miss Sanchez, have you ever known? It never occurred to me that you thought I'm flirting with you. Because I also did not think I'm flirting with you. Since, you considered my actions as flirting. Then, let's make it real. Don't worry about my fiancé. She is generous."
The man leaned in and drew his face closer and closer to her.
"Get lost!" Geneva shouted. She then suddenly raised her foot and attempted to kick the man. Probably because of the force that kept pushing on the door, the door was accidentally opened.
The two toppled down on the floor where the man fell on top of the woman.
Bang! A loud thud exploded in the doorway.
The weak kid sleeping on the bed flinched. He then screamed that sounded like calling 'mom' a few times using his weak voice, making the two adults stop what they were doing.
"Go away!" Geneva pushed the man off.
Chen Lei stood up and turned his back on her. Before he left them, the woman heard him say, "You stay and accompany my son. As for me, I'll sleep on the couch. Stop asking me to leave. Whether you allow me or not, the decision is still on me. No more discussions!"
The man walked away and closed the door.
The woman's eyes widened in anger towards the man who left just like that, even acting as if he was the King of the house.
"How ridiculous! Why do I have to suffer like this?" Geneva said. Thinking of the kid, the woman could only exhale her frustration and went to look for the kid.
