Filthy Rich by Atarah Yvaine (electronic reader txt) 📖

"What?" he asked. His eyes are still filled with rage. I firmly hold his hand and kiss it. I am taking my chances to calm him down, but I think it's not effective.

He is just eyeing me like I am his prey and he is the predator. He is so mad. I don't even know how the hell he got here. Of all places. What a bad timing.

"Why are you so mad? I am not even doing anything wrong. I am telling the truth. Can you calm down?" I said, and he withdraw his hand in mine and walked to his car.

I messed up my own hair in annoyance. I stomped my way to his car, grabbed his arm and forced him to face me.

I had a tough day at work today, and he was making my day worse. If he is angry, then I am too.

You know what? If you don't believe me, then don't! I don't care. " I left him there and marched to my car.

It's a good thing I'm driving my car. I tried to see if he was going to apologize to me, but the idiot got into his car, shut his door with a bang, and drove away, leaving me behind.

What the hell?

I drive with a heavy heart. I go back to the office and it looks like I am emitting a different kind of negative aura. That's why the people in the office are trying to distance themselves from me. That's a good thing, though.

I did try to make myself busy to somehow forget everything.

"What's with the distorted face of yours? Did something happen, or is it the time of the month? " Kai suddenly appeared, and I was too lost in my own thoughts to notice his arrival.

I think his presence is a bad idea. I'm so freaking sure that he will irritate me more and will not leave me alone.

"Time of the month?" I asked her with raised eyebrows.

"Yeah, you know, the red days. Ali gets super irritated when it's her time of the month. She kicks me out and loves to hit me. She's also too emotional. Like, who the hell will cry because I accidentally ate her leftover spaghetti? Girls are sometimes crazy," he said as he comfortably sat on the couch, crossing his legs.

"You boys are surely more insane than us girls. Like, who the freaking hell will act so damn stupid to just assume things and then come out of nowhere to punch our guy friends?" I said, imitating the way he said his line.

"Hmmm, we are not stupid. Sometimes, yeah, I admit I can't control my emotions, but I think I will not be angry if I see my girlfriend being extra sweet to someone. You know, maybe you crossed the line and he just exploded. Our patience is thin as a thread. " He explained. That made me recall my actions.

Did I do something that was too much? I don't think so.

"Tss, still, you guys are crazier than us." I argued, and he just shrugged his shoulder. At least he is not trying to get into my nerves.

"By the way, we are postponing our wedding date." he calmly said, and my eyes widened.

"WHY? Did something come up? " I know how excited they are, and postponing it is never an option.

"Yes, something unexpected happened, but no worries. Everything between us is totally fine, and we are not putting off that long. The wedding was supposed to be this December, right? We are planning to move it in January." he expalain and I am so confused as though why is he looks so okay with it. He badly wants to get married soon.

I'm relieved that they're okay.

"Is Ali okay with it?" I asked.

"She suggested it herself." I nod, feeling a little calmer now.

I continue to sign some important papers. Kai stays silent. This is not normal. He used to be talkative and irritating, but he is so silent. Maybe something is off with him.

"Are you okay?" I can't help but ask.

"Yeah, I am just thinking, what can you say to our family? Did we make you happy and feel loved? " He randomly asked, making me forget what I was actually doing and seriously look at him. I studied his face and he looked serious.

"Why are you asking that? Is everything really okay? " I got up from my seat and walked to him.

I used the back of my hand to feel his forehead.

"You're not hot. I thought you were sick," I worriedly said.

He laughed because of what I did. He is acting very suspicious. He is surely hiding something from me. I need to find that out.
