34 She lied again

Sab waked up almost noon with no strength and complaining stomach. She was literally shaking from hunger.

She weakly sits up when the bathroom door opened. Looking at the freshly looking man walking with the only towel wrapped in his waist made her body trembled a little.

His short hair that usually neatly comb now scattered but it only made him hotter. Seeing his defined abs and a small waist that tortured her last night it gives her both sense of pride and fear at the same time.

Remembering how she desperately begged him that night, she can't help to clench her fist and stare at him angrily. If only this man let her off when after a few rounds, she wouldn't be suffering this much.

Tom seems to be in a good mood seeing her little kitty fierce look. He walked through her side and pat lightly her head.

"It seems like I did not work enough last night. You seem to have a lot of energy left."

Sab "..."

What energy? Is this man trying to kill her? Her face flushed red from anger.

"I can't get up. Bring me to the bathroom" Sab asked in a calm manner trying hard not to shout at him.

She knew this man trying to anger her. If she flared up, he will only bully her more and might end up in the worst state.

She has no energy to argue now. After she fulfills her stomach, she will surely get back to this man, if not now, she will surely do it as long as there is a chance.

Tom carried Sab in the bathroom and felt somehow happy seeing the marks left on her body.

Tom insisted to help her take a shower and ended up being eaten again. Sab was so pissed off and did not even want to look at Tom.

She felt the man was being too unreasonable and thought that she must distance herself to this man or she might not live long.

His stamina is too strong and he no self-control at all. He is too striking that she will lose herself always once he starts teasing her. I'm dead. I'm truly dead.

Seeing that Sab seems really angry, Tom sigh. He doesn't intend to hurt her. He just can't really control himself, especially once she starts begging.

His rationality fades away and wanted to be one with her. It seems he had restrained himself for quite a while that he ended up torturing the little wife.

"I'm sorry, I'll try to control myself next time."

Sab stops eating and looked at the man beside her. Seeing his emotionless face, she rolled her eyes.

She might have heard him wrong. His face looks aloof and cold, how can he apologize to her. He might have never done anything like that before.

She was only a wife in the paper. Once he finds her uninteresting one day, he will surely dump her. Her mood turned gloomy thinking of this.

She has no expectation from this man, nonetheless, she can't help but feel suffocated at the thought.

If she allows herself to be dragged into this kind of set-up, she was afraid that it would be very difficult for her to leave by his side. How can she live normally by then?

"Why did you do it then? I told you I was so tired," she asked in a very low voice.

Though she felt scared and uncomfortable discussing the matter, she wanted to understand him. In order to protect her heart, she cannot allow him to be seduced by this man.

Tom looked at the red face of Sab. Why is he doing it? He doesn't know either. He hates when an annoying bee gets close to her and he can't control his little brother whenever he seems her especially when they were left alone.

He can't really say that he likes her but he definitely likes being closed to her especially when pinned her under his sturdy body.

His feeling was totally different in front of other women whom he really finds annoying and dirty no matter how expensive and extravagant the clothes they are wearing.

He hates the strong perfume and heavy makeup. He was even more disgusted when they act coquettish or act weak in front of him.

Sab gathered her courage to look at Tom's reaction when she had not heard anything from.

He still looked calm but his dark deep brown eyes seemed conflicted. She wanted to probe more when her phone rang.

She wanted to ignore the call but it seems the caller will not give up so she has no choice but to answer the call.

She looked nervous while answering the call, feeling a little guilty. It was Ana calling and asking her to meet up at a seafood restaurant. She was telling her to join the blind date and if she will not show up, the date will be canceled again and they will blame for that.

Ana's tone is not arrogant at all, but somewhat pleasing her to join. She was telling her how much she like her blind date if she will not come, her chance will be slip away again.

Her heart thump meeting at Tom's gaze. She wanted to decline immediately but hesitated to do in front of him. She doesn't want him to know that someone trying to set her up for a date especially after doing it with him.

While thinking on how to decline Ana, she was lifted and was forced to sit on Tom's lap.

She almost screamed at his sudden action. Since they are too closed, Sab just looks at the man unhappily.

"Ana I am quite busy right now..."

"Nooo.... you have to come.. please there will no next time for me. I like him since I was in college and you can't come, there will be next time."

Sab becomes silent. She doesn't understand why Ana and Bing would want her around. Besides, she's not the only single available in the office. Why would they insist on her to come?

However, she doesn't want to think negatively about the invitation. In the first place, she was not shooting a movie or not the main lead in a novel.

In addition, no one knows her relationship with Tom even if she goes out and tells people, they might be taught she was a comedian or a crazy woman.

Out of curiosity, she wanted to say yes with a condition that those two girls should stop troubling her in the future.

However, she doesn't want to be misunderstood and end up paying a huge debt to Tom. In the first place, she is literally broke right now.

But if she could go meet them just this once, her work life will definitely be peaceful without these two girls gossiping about her.

After weighing the pros and cons, she decided to join the blind date but when he looked at the dark face of Tom, she can't bring herself to agree. Her palms starting to sweat and even her forehead starting to form beads of water.

She felt extremely anxious under his scrutinizing gaze. "I'll call you back" she hangs up the phone without waiting for a response.

She suddenly felt fleeing but his strong arms kept around her waist not even giving her a chance to move.

"What?" she asked trying to be calm but her voice betrayed her as it trembled a little.

She cursed silently. Why is this man so scary. He was just fine a while ago and now he seems he will peel off her skin alive. Did she hear what we were talking about? That couldn't be.

She is using the latest phone and it seems this one is very reliable, unlike her old phone that seems always on loudspeaker mode.

Tom's lips raised a little. This little kitten showing again her little claws. She still trying to pretend in front of her when her guilty look is written all over her face.

"You better come clean to me now," Tom said word by word with the hint of warning.

Sab's body shivered to hear the seriousness of her voice, she wanted to run but knew she can't hide from this man.

She lowered her head and started to confess. In her mind, she is also cursing to Ana and Bing for being so persistent in dragging her on their blind dates.

Tom says, "So you are planning to go?"

"Of course not!"

"Are you sure?" Tom's face darkened seeing her red face. Obviously, she was lying to him.

"Of course, I am so tired. Why would I go?" She lied again.
