Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant

When he finished his words, Euan found that she had no words for him.

Nobody spoke anymore in the car, and the air in the car felt more and more oppressive. The car took on a ramp and entered the highway and Riley looked outside the window only to see road signs flying by at high speed.

She could feel a huge living and breathing freezer sitting next to her, and it was giving out cold air all the time. Throughout their half-hour journey back home, Riley prayed hard that she wouldn't freeze to death Just as the ambience in the car couldn't get any more oppressive, Euan's phone rang suddenly with a simple monotonous sound.

He glanced at the name of the caller displayed on his screen and he couldn't help frowning.

"Mr. George, it's my fault for not raising my son well. Kaysorn is not familiar with the ways of the world, so he has offended you and Mrs. George... I beg that you can pardon him this time, I will make sure to apologize in person soon! Mr. George..."

Riley could hear the muffled voice of a middle-aged man sobbing and begging from Euan's phone. Her heart became like stone as she realized it must be Kaysorn's father who had called. He was the presiden of the W&K Corporation.

Riley focused all her attention to get as much information as she could. Although he didn't know what Euan had done to Kaysorn, but from Luther's anxious tone, she could deduce that a terrible fate must have befallen Kaysorn.

Euan squeezed his brows impatiently and answered in a lazy tone, "Mr. Cornell, I am aware that you are very busy with business, so you have no time to educate your son. I understand you very well..." "Mr. George, please be rest assured, I will make sure to lecture him well! I hope that you can forgive him and let him come back first. I beg you..."

Euan replied with a relaxed expression, "Mr. Cornell, I can't take back the bullet I have shot. Since I've decided to see this to the end with your son's education, I will make sure to be responsible for everything." "Mr. George, I..."

"Mr. Cornell, if you ever want to see your son in one piece again, I advise you not to bother me anymore for now."

After saying that, without hearing Luther's further pleas, Euan abruptly hung up his phone. He then casually threw his phone on the backseat which landed in the space between the two of them.

Riley sucked in a deep breath. This time, she didn't dare to utter even a word anymore.

Euan barely exhausted any of his energy while he was able to destroy Kaysorn, one of the four young masters of the capital with ease, let alone herself and Sarah.

As the car continued to speed on the road, the car was enveloped in extreme silence. Euan placed his palms on his thighs and shut his eyes as if he was taking a momentary break. The atmosphere in the car never relaxed despite that.

At the moment, the high-resolution display screen of his phone lit up with blinding light, which caught Riley off guard. She lowered her gaze to take a look and suddenly, her eyes narrowed.

On the screen which was playing some animation indicating the name of the caller, Riley saw a name which disgusted her.

Lydia Saunders!

The ringtone was still that same simplistic one, but this time, Euan didn't even react to the incoming call, let alone attempting to answer it.

Riley pretended not to know who the caller was as she reminded, "Don't you want to answer it?"

Only Euan's continued silence answered her, and then he also flipped the phone on its back.

As the phone was being flipped, the ringtone turned into a soundless vibration. After a while, the phone stopped vibrating.

A smug was formed on Riley's lips. In the end, was Lydia nothing at all in Euan's eyes?

The car stopped outside the YJ Villa, and Victor immediately held the car door open for both Euan and Riley to get off it.

Riley stood amidst the buffeting night breeze and stole a glance at Euan. He was wearing a white shirt which was tucked into the black pants. His long and slender legs were a sight to behold and his charisma could even rival that of the night scenery.

However, no matter how attractive he was or how terrible his personality was, Euan was just a husband in name to her.

Her only job was to play the role of a wife perfectly in front of others and then they would part ways after their function. They were just carrying out their roles like a professional following the rules.

She thought that Euan would return home directly, but he instead said to Victor, "Come to pick me up at eight tomorrow."

"Roger, boss."

Then, the car sped away into the night.

He was actually planning to stay for the night?

As he met Riley's gaze, he said ironically, "Aren't you going in? Who are you waiting for?"

Riley sighed secretly in her heart, "Mr. George, aren't you going back home to accompany your wife? Why are you staying over in this place?"

There was a hint of envy in her voice.

This was great, woman. At least you still had a response to all this.

Euan walked in large strides and entered the villa without tending to her doubts.

Riley shrugged faintly and quickly followed him.

In the huge living room with a large chandelier hanging above, Euan loosened his collar while lying majestically on the sofa. His legs were perched on top of a glass table with his sparkling leather shoes dangling over the edge. With the length of his legs, it easily exceeded the length of the table.

Riley took off her shoes and when she lowered her head and took a look, she discovered that her heels had blisters all over them due to the friction of the shoes and her skin. The red bruises appeared out of place on her pale white skin

The pain in her knees was even more profound.

She snickered coldly. Her body condition was even worse now.

After pulling her coat close to her skin, Riley was about to go upstairs to change her clothes.

"Come here."

In the living room, Euan's voice suddenly sounded. It was infused with an irrefutable honour and arrogance.

"I need to change my clothes. I will come down after doing that." Riley replied while holding to the railings of the staircase.

"When did I allow you to bargain with me? Do you think that I have been too kind towards you, or do you think that you are already qualified to talk back to me?"

Euan shot an icy glare at her while studying her. It was as if his sharp gaze was going to penetrate her.

Riley could only take a step down the stairs and started to inch towards him. She stood by the sofa and her figure resembled a rack with a thin cloth hanging over it.

Euan scanned her face from the bottom to the top, and he saw that under the glow of the lighting, she had watery lips and her face was full of make-up. They made her look delicate and fascinating. At the same time, it was rare of him to stare at her as serious as he was now; No, to put it more precisely, he never looked at her with such an emotion.

Whenever the image of Kaysorn groping her entered his mind, it ignited Euan's urge to kill somebody!

This damned woman, she really had the allure to seduce men. Or else, she wouldn't have...

Damn it!

She continued to stand there, just waiting for him to bring down the hammer of judgement. Euan was angry and frustrated, and with a sharp shift of his voice, he asked coldly, "What the hell is wrong with your house?"

Hmm? Riley was confused by his sudden question.

House? What house was he talking about?

Oh! Right, was he referring to the house she had rented? Was Euan talking about the lock that had been tampered?

How did he learn of this?

Her expression that made her look like she was in a deep thought didn't escape his eyes, and that momentary silliness on her face which was unlike her usual smart and calculating self aroused something within him.

"Just come clean with the truth. Do not ever think of paltering me, and don't even think of lying to me." Euan turned his face away in another direction after laying eyes on Riley for some time. His attitude became one of detachment.

Riley wasn't very fond of Freya, but she knew that she couldn't advertise the unfortunate happenings at home to outsiders, "It's just a prank done by several childish kids. I have dealt with the matter." Euan raised his eyelids and with his lips slightly trembling, he didn't expose her just yet, "You can't even hold your ground with several kids. It seems that I have thought too highly of you."

Riley curled up her lips and asked, "Mr. George, do you have any other matter? If not, I want to go change my clothes."

Euan let out snort, "Riley Watson, where do you get your confidence from?"

Riley furrowed her brows and waited for what he had to say, but the man on the sofa didn't continue his sentence.

He was really acting strange now.

She turned around and ascended the stairs as she decided not to entertain him anymore.

Only when Riley reached the second floor and disappeared into the bed room did Euan opened his shut eyes, "Where do you actually get your confidence from that you are even treating me like that?"

The next day, Riley woke up as usual and walked out of her room in her pyjamas. She took a look downstairs and saw no sign of Euan. Wasn't he supposed to leave at eight?

It was only seven thirty now, so where was he?

Did he leave earlier because he didn't want to see her any longer than he already had?

She turned around and returned to her bedroom. Just as Riley was about to take off her pyjamas, the door of the bathroom opened.

Euan, who had a white towel dangling from his waist, emerged from the bathroom with slippers on his feet. His huge frame was only covered thinly by a towel which hid away his private parts. His upper body was bulging with muscles as they reflected the glow of the morning sunlight. Water droplets were sliding down his skin in the warm sunlight...

Riley clutched the rope to her pyjamas while getting an intense shock!

This was an image of a handsome guy getting out of his bath, right in front of her eyes.

Wait!

When did he come in here? He had even had a bath and washed his hair!

Euan's icy cold gaze was able to see through her suspicion, "I don't use this brand of toothpaste. Get a new one before I come back tonight."

Riley couldn't say anything in response.

Euan strode to the wardrobe impatiently and he continued as he pushed the door open, "One more thing, I will leave before eight. Make sure breakfast is ready."

Riley was still stunned beyond words.

In order to prepare for Euan's sudden examination and checking, Riley had stocked up on food in the refrigerator, so it wouldn't be difficult to cook up something simple, but... What did Euan actually mean with his words?

Riley went downstairs with confusion. She prepared a breakfast for two after taking reference of the usual amount of food she ate.

She made fresh soya bean drink and fried two sunny-side ups. She prepared some toast and chopped some fresh fruits and placed them on a plate.

Her time was limited, so she couldn't prepare a full course of Chinese meal. She could only combine Chinese and Western elements in her preparation.

When breakfast was served, Euan appeared fully dressed in immaculate suit and finely-pressed white shirt. His hair was combed into an orderly manner which brought out his shine. He was really shining brilliantly.

On the other hand, Riley was still dressed in her pyjamas, and her long hair was shoved behind her head messily. She had only washed her face briefly...

Seeing that she didn't have any more time, Riley said, "Breakfast is ready, I... I will go prepare for work now."

Euan scanned the food on the table and frowned, "Sit down."

"Don't you understand what I am saying?"

She clenched her fists and tried to convince herself to endure a little more!

Riley sat down and started to dig into her breakfast. She so wanted to finish them in one fell swoop!

"I haven't even started eating yet, so why are you in a rush?"

Riley was once again speechless at him.

Was it wrong to eat faster than him?

As she continued eating, she would check his progress, and after taking a few sips of her soya bean drink, she would again check his situation. Riley really wanted to finish his meal for him too. Just as her heart was racing nervously, Euan finally finished his breakfast.

Riley immediately set down her glass and went upstairs hurriedly! She was going to be late, no, she was definitely late this time! Euan had spent half an hour to finish his breakfast!

Euan watched her back disappearing upstairs and his heart was enveloped in a warmth.

Victor was already outside with his car, and Euan was standing in front of the French window and admiring the courtyard. He crossed his arms and drummed them with his rigid fingers.

Riley rushed downstairs after changing into her office wear, but to her surprise Euan was still there!

She didn't put on any make-up with her hair lying on her shoulders. She was wearing the typical office lady attire, and with every step she took, the bandage on her knees could be seen from time to time.

"Get in the car."

Riley began, "The hospital and your company aren't in the same direction... right?"

Euan raised his wrist to check the time on his watch, "Did you think that I'm going to send you there purposely? I'm going there for a ribbon-cutting ceremony, and I just happen to drop you off there conveniently."

Riley then slowly entered his car and thought that he wouldn't send her to work personally.

She was thinking too much once again. Riley Watson, when could she cut off her nonsense delusions?

After getting off his car, Riley darted into the hospital, and the black luxurious car sped off immediately.

Victor asked timidly, "Boss, where are you going to attend your ribbon-cutting ceremony?"

He didn't hear anything about any ribbon-cutting ceremony...

However, Euan's frosty gaze was so intense that Victor felt like he was going to disintegrate on the spot if he was to be stared at by Euan for some time. Euan barked, "Go back to the company

now!"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
