Chapter 1138


    "Huh? Didn’t you catch that?" ric asked with a leisurely drawl, his piercing gaze locking onto her and


    bringing her pressure.


    He enunciated each word clearly for emphasis, "I said, you''re going to y the part of my girlfriend and


    Hertha blinked her wide, doe-like eyes at him, swallowing a gulp of astonishment. If she thought she


    had misheard him the first time, ric''s repetition left no room for doubt.


    She certainly wasn''t hallucinating.


    "You want me to pretend to be your girlfriend and meet your grandad? You''ve got some nerve! I mean,


    ying your girlfriend in front of Georgia was one thing, but meeting the family is a whole different ball


    game. You''re really going to bring a fake?"


    Hertha had never done anything like this and certainly didn''t have the guts for it.


    "I''ve got it covered. What are you scared of?" ric said coolly, a teasing smile ying at the corner of


    his mouth. "What, you''re afraid that my family willtch onto you and drag you into marriage after you


    met them?"


    Hertha bristled at the challenge. She raised her neck with her chin defiantly tilted, "What do I have to


    be scared of? If anything, you should be worried. Imagine if your family actually wanted you to marry


    me. You''d really be stuck then!"


    "Don''t worry, they won''t be interested in you. You just have to block this one move and help me call off


    the engagement with the Reed family. You like the famous actor Dominic, right? Once this is done, I’ll

    get you a one-on-one with him. How about that?" ric offered. He was half-persuading and half-


    tempting.


    "You serious?" Hertha couldn''t believe her ears.


    Could ric really get her a private meeting with Dominic?


    The temptation was strong.


    She was utterly infatuated with Dominic and was his number one fan.


    "Of course I''m serious. You think I carry the Falconer surname for nothing?" ric assured her


    confidently.


    "Alright, it''s a deal! No going back on your word." Hertha agreed immediately; the offer was just too


    tempting to pass up.


    Raising a fist, Hertha extended her pinky; her slightly chubby cheeks tilted up towards ric.


    She had been on a diet and had slimmed down, but after falling out with ric, she’d turned tofort


    eating and quickly regained her former roundness.


    ric watched her gesture, and waspletely baffled, "What are you doing?"


    Hertha stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and locked pinkies with him, "Pinky swear, for a hundred


    years we''ll never dare; whoever breaks it is a rotten egg!"


    ric found this funny, "Childish."


    "More childish than you?" Hertha shot back, rolling her eyes as she led the way out of the booth.


    ric simply smiled and followed.


    Hertha sidled up to Thssa, who was sitting at the bar, and whispered something into Thssa’s ear.


    Thssa''s eyes widened in surprise, and then sheughed, "Go on then, I''ll catch a cab backter."


    "Alright, just be safe," Thssa said as she epted the keys, offering a polite farewell nce at


    ric to signal her concern for Hertha''s well-being. Co?tent of Drаmа?ovels.cоm


    "That''s good to hear," Thssa replied.


    With that, ric and Hertha left the bar.
