Chapter 148
I turned my head to look and saw a caring towards me slowly . The headlights were off and the car
just slowly inched towards me . _
With the dim street lights , the dark shadows from the trees , and this strange car … It would
be strange if I was n’t afraid . So , I ran
away . Unfortunately , the sound of the car ‘s engine continued behind me ; it
was n’t even very farnot even close . What ‘s going on ? I was so nervous my heart felt like it was
going to jump out of my chest . So I broke into a run and grabbed my phone to call
for help . Before I could make a call , the car stopped .by my side . As the car windows rolled down , He
nriques stuck his head out the window and looked at me with a smile that did n’t reach his eyes .
Holding my phone , I looked at it nkly . _ Didn’t he say he sent the message to the wrong person ? S
o why did he show up here ?
“ Aren’t you going toe in ? Otherwise , I ‘ m leaving . ”
I
was tempted to decline your offer . However , I was afraid that he might actually leave . _ _ _ _ So I op
ened the car door and got in .
“ Where is your home ? ”
So I gave him the address and he started driving . _ _ As soon as I
started to rx , my heartbeat finally started . started to subside and I asked him in
a hoarse voice : “ Why did n’t you turn on the headlights ? that was so scary“.
“ Are n’t you supposed to be brave ? he snorted . _
“ Who said that ? ” I was so scared that I almost fainted now !
“ If you ‘re not brave , then why dare you feed me something spicy ? _ _ _ ”
Is this his revenge on me for giving him that shrimp now ? _ I looked at Henriques in surprise ; I was
inplete disbelief that he would actually say something like that with such confidence . They
say a good man doesn’t pick a fight with a woman . it isIs it really okay for him to be so petty ?
Noticing that I was looking at him , he returned the look . His gaze did n’t avoid mine , it
went straight and met mine head on with confidence . “ What are you looking at ? Have
you never seen a handsome man before ? ”
At that moment , I felt my outlook on life turned upside down again . Is
it really this indifferent and inessible president , Henriques Ribeiro ? Why do I get the feeling he ‘s m

sent joke ? _ Despite having these _thoughts , I dared not voice them aloud . _ _ Instead I said good –
naturedly , “ It was an ident . _ _ It was n’t intentional ” .
“ Still denying ? There were so many other dishes on the table that
were n’t spicy ; why did you have to pick the one that was spicy and serve it to me ? I
can’t believe he ‘s still thinking about this !
Blushing , I said , ” Hmm … that was because that dish was closest to me . ” _ _
“ Really ? _ I’m pretty sure the dish right in front of you was n’t the prawns . Henriques ‘ keen observati
on skills were something I had experienced before . _ _ _ _ The incident involving the business cards w
as an example .. _
Still , I ca n’t tell him it ‘s because I went online to research his favorite foods and that ‘s why I chose th
at dish , right ? _ Am I not just giving myself away ?
When he saw that I didn’t respond , he assumed that I had agreed . Thus , he mocked : “
I never imagined that your love was so strong ! ”
His words left me intrigued . “ What ? _ ”
“ Your feelings towards Carlos ; _ _ what else ? _ You ‘re still mad because I lectured him the other day
, are n’t you ? _ That ‘s why you tried to get revenge on me on his behalf .
What the hell is he talking about ? Am I trying to get back at
him because of Carlos ? Oh God ; your imagination sure is wild ! _
So I continued in silence . As the saying goes , “ silence is golden ” , right ? _ However , my choice was
wrong again and Henriques continued , refusing to listen to any excuses : “ You must have kept the _
_ _ _heartbroken when I hit Carlos the other day . I remember you threatening me violently , saying yo
u were going to sue me for this ” .
