"What? You think I flirted with you? Look at you, do you think I have any interest in you?" Duke looked at her with utter contempt and shook his head to show how terrible she was.
"I look terrible. So what? You still hugged me!" Belinda exploded with anger. This jerk was judging her by her appearance. If her dad hadn't forced her into a blind date with a man, she wouldn't have needed to scare him away with such wretched looks. It was not that she loved to look terrible. However, she was afraid that her dad would nag about what she had done, so she didn't dare to go home, although it was quite late now. free(w)ebnovel
"Ha! Are you kidding me? Do you think I wanted to do that? I was just kind enough to help you when you were falling, or I wouldn't have touched you at all." Duke looked coldly at the chick who turned on him. If his eyes could shoot laser beams, she would have been incinerated. Only he knew how hard she had slapped him as his cheek was still burning.
Belinda hesitated for a while without a word. It appeared that what he had said was actually right. She knew she shouldn't have slapped him, but she wouldn't apologize for that. Even if she had been wrong then, that didn't mean he was a good guy. Look how fierce he was now. fr eewebn ovel.com
"Anyway, you shouldn't have hugged me." Belinda argued and insisted that she did nothing wrong. We could already tell how competitive she was from her arguments with Edward. She would never admit that she was wrong.
His face clouded, and his fists were so tight that blue veins stood out on them. Thanks to his ability to control himself, Duke didn't punch her. He had never known an unreasonable woman like her.
Damn it! He should leave now and stop arguing with her like an idiot. With that, Duke took a deep breath, trying to calm down. He flicked at the places that Belinda had touched on his coat, as if there were something dirty to remove. Then he gl
ink I need to check it in person? Anyone who isn't blind can tell you're a ladyboy." So those who couldn't were all blind.
With his lips curving in a masculine smile, Duke glanced at the girl who looked bold and different now. He was wondering what kind of a beauty she would be without her makeup.
"Are you always so competitive, Miss Belinda?" Rain smiled instead of getting angry. Life was too boring. Sometimes he could have some fun fighting with a hot-tempered chick like her.
"Nope, just around guys like you." 'Humph! I don't like you. So what?'
"With all due respect, could you please tell me when guys like me offended you, Miss Belinda?" Rain was curious, and when he was curious, he would ask any questions he had. He would definitely get to the bottom of the stuff that he didn't understand.
"Birds of a feather flock together. Do you know the saying? It means that you guys are not any better. You hang about with that bastard Edward all day." With that, she stalked off. Rain wondered why Belinda had to leave before them every time.
Duke watched her, lost in thought. 'Collateral damage.' he thought. 'I think our reputations just suffered collateral damage. We're not any better? Because of Edward? What does it have to do with Edward?'
