Chapter 4 Shameless
- The men never stopped watching them and saw Anthony’s expression. They all gave him the middle finger! Shameless! Such thick-skin!
- Anthony and Poppy stayed in that position until the train reached their stop. Poppy begrudgingly woke up. She self-consciously tidied up her clothes. Then both she and Anthony left the train.
- Poppy thought that traveling by train had gotten rid of Justin. But when they left the station platform, they saw three Lamborghinis lined up at the station exit. Several bodyguards, all wearing sunglasses, approached Poppy respectfully.
- “Miss Perkins, Young Master Justin was tied up with work and couldn’t come. He ordered us to fetch you. The Young Master has also prepared a banquet to welcome you tonight at Hammel’s Heaven. Would you like to go to the Young Master’s place first or straight to the hotel?”
- Anthony was stunned into silence at the pomp before him. This lady was really something else!
- Poppy couldn’t help but frown. Justin Hammel was such an annoyance! Did he think that she would fall for him? Hmph!
- Anthony didn’t see a need for him to stay and watch. “Excuse me, Miss Perkins. I’ll take my leave now. Goodbye!”
- Anthony understood that they were from different worlds, at least for the time being. Anthony only had three hundred dollars to his name. He had to find a job within a week, or else he’d have to sleep in the streets.
- But before he could take a step, Poppy reached out and grabbed his arm, “Wait up! I’m coming with you!” She pulled him towards the sidewalk and flagged down a cab.
- The bodyguards were at a loss. “Miss Perkins, what do you mean by this? Who is this man? How are we supposed to explain this to the Young Master?!”
- Poppy snorted, “What? Do I need to report my business to you now? Tell Justin Hammel that I’ll be at the banquet!” She pushed Anthony into the cab, and they sped away, leaving behind the group of bodyguards who did not know what to do.
- They quickly dialed Justin’s number. “Young Master, we have bad news. Miss Perkins left in a cab with another man. She would not listen to us!”
- “You useless pieces of shit! Am I paying you for nothing? Follow them! If anything happens to the woman, I’ll have your heads!” Justin roared into the phone. Justin had his eye on Poppy for a long time now.
- “Yes, Young Master!”
- Anthony stared at Poppy, baffled. “Beautiful lady, who in the world are you?”
- An unexplainable expression flashed across her eyes. She turned and smiled at Anthony, “Naughty man, wanna have some fun with me?” Her eyes hooked him in. Anthony felt his heart skip a beat.
- “Ahem… Miss, I’m an innocent young boy. I have no idea what you’re talking about!” Anthony feigned.
- Anthony knew exactly what she was implying. Although he was eager to do whatever she had in mind, his rival was on another level. That scene from earlier proved that this Young Master Justin was not someone he should provoke. Anthony did not want to risk his life for a fling!
- Poppy rolled her eyes, “Hmph! Look at you trying to pretend to be innocent. Let’s see how long you’ll be able to keep up with the act…” Poppy sighed inside.
- It looks like I might not be able to get rid of the bastard for the entire trip. Now that it’s come to this, why shouldn’t I enjoy my time with Anthony? It’s much better than waiting around for that bastard to take advantage of me.
- Anthony felt exasperated. What an amazing chance had fallen into his lap, and he could not enjoy it! He sighed… Frustration filled him. Suddenly, he heard a buzzing sound. Mosquitoes were buzzing around his head.
- Anthony flicked his hand at the mosquito in annoyance and grabbed at them… The buzzing sound disappeared. Anthony opened his fist, and to his surprise, he saw that he had caught the mosquito! In disbelief, he waved his hand around and grabbed at the other one. Yet again, he caught it.
- How was he moving so fast? Damn! This was amazing!
