Mr. Lanos, are you that nosy? So what it I have feelings for that male colleague? How can you help us?â
Chase responded with a slight grin, âNothing is impossible. When I finish up my work in the next couple of days, Iâll arrange something for Selinda remained silent.
She had said all that with a hint of annoyance and sarcasm, not expecting him to actually agree.
Save your effort. Mr. Larios, I can handle my own business. You donât need to worry about me!â Belinda retorted, clearly not pleased.
Chase arched an eyebrow. âSo youâre planning to pursue him on your own again?â
Salinda frowned and turned to face him seriously, âMr. Larios, yes, I pursued you once and failed, but that doesnât mean I need to chase after every man like. Iâm not that unattractive!â
Chase chuckled, âIndeed! With your qualities, Iâm sure there are men chasing after you.â
Selinda didnât want to deal with him anymore. She had once thought of him as gentle, witty, and always calm with a hint of humor. Now, he Just seemed sarcastic and annoying.
Elhor was right. This man was not cut out to be a serious boyfriend. Anyone who ended up with him would get hurt.
Seeing that Belinda was not responding, Chase also got bored and didnât say anything else. He turned to look at Ida, who was also staring at her phone, so he quietly leaned over to take a peek.
Iba was reading a complaint from Byran.
Eyran texted. âYou shameless woman, you betrayed me; I hate you!â
Ida didnât reply.
Syran sent another message. âYou told my brother I was harassing you; what kind of trick is this? Why donât you talk about how you seduced me in the first place?â
Ida adjusted her glasses but still had no intention of responding.
Within 10 seconds, another message from Byran arrived. âNow my brother has beaten me up for messing around. Are you happy now?â
Idaâs brow furrowed slightly. After hesitating for a while, she finally responded, âWhere did he hit you?â
âEverywhere! You wicked woman, itâs all your fault!â
âLearn your lesson and stop bothering me. Then you wonât get beaten up.â
âImpossible! You slept with me and think you can just walk away? Iâll come find you when my brother is not around! You better not see other men behind my back, or Iâll bite you!â
Ida pinched the bridge of her nose. âLooks like your brother didnât beat you enough.â
*I will never submit; I just donât want to upset my brother, heâs not well lately! I will never succumb to violence!â
Ida didnât bother to reply anymore. Talking to such a stubborn kid was a total waste of time.
Perhaps because Ida didnât respond, Byran started to coax her. âIda, what are you doing? My brother locked me in my room. Can we video chat?â
Ida still didnât respond. Just as she was about to turn off her phone, Byranâs video call request came in.
Ida was going to decline, but before she could, Chase took her phone.
