Chapter 9


    “…” How on earth could a man ask Emmett for money? Isn’t that just asking for trouble?


    “Speak.” Emmett nced at the woman next to him out of theer of his eye. She looked


    thunderstruck Tll pay you back today, he said. “But don’t let me catch you slimng up trouble again.”


    “Got it! I won’t never do that again!”


    “Matt, pay him.”


    Matt nodded obediently “Yes, sir”


    Before ra could react, Emmett had pulled her into the car!


    It wasn’t until the car door closed that she snapped back to reality.


    “Thanks… really, thanks for today! Don’t worry, I’ll pay you back for the money you paid for me!”


    “No need “Emmett poured himself a ss of red wine with his slender hand, sipping it delicately. “We


    won’t be seeing each other again. Matt, let her out at the


    “Yes, sir.”


    Upon hearing this, ra frowned. “This isn’t a small amount of money, and I’m nobody to you. How can


    I ept your money? How about you give me your bank ount number. I’ll repay you monthly, with


    interest!”


    “I don’t have a bank card”


    Matt, who was driving, whispered, “The bank is owned by the Melendez family.”


    ra swallowed hard, flustered by the sudden disy of wealth.


    After a few seconds of silence, she dered, “I have principles. I can’t just ept things from others!


    Even if you’re loaded, I can’t just–mmph!”


    Her words were cut off as two thin lips sealed hers!


    ra was shocked. He… he’s kissing me! Emmett is kissing me!

    She could smell a faint fragrance on him, not like the sweat stench of other men. That handsome face


    was right in front of her, making her forget she should push


    him away!


    After a while, Emmett was the first to release her lips, saying coldly, “Consider this kiss a purchase”


    He wanted to see if he only felt no aversion toward this woman.


    The car quickly stopped at a corner ra didn’t say a word until after she got out and watched the car


    drive away.


    The car was out of sight when she finally blinked, weakly touching her lips. She wanted to ask, Mister


    Emmett. Can you buy a few more kisses?


    This was probably the most valuable kiss she ever had!


    When ra got home, Aiden was studying at the table.


    Upon hearing her, he immediately stood up, saluting, “Hello, mother”


    “What are you doing?” ra raised an eyebrow, slightly taken aback. “You’re actually studying on your


    own? And… You’re being polite? Alex, if it wasn’t for your face, I would have thought I mixed up my


    kid“”


    Aiden swallowed hard, he was still a child after all, and his expression was a bit stiff.


    As ra walked into the room, she said, “I’m sorry, Alex. I might need to find another job. Melendez will


    definitely fire me this time.”


    Melendez?


    Aiden looked surprised instantly. “Why?”


    “Because I messed up at work today. I borrowed a lot of money from Emmett without understanding the


    situation. Things might get harder for us, and I’ll need to save up to repay Emmett.”


    “…My dad has a lot of money”


    ra froze. “What did you say?”
