It was already half past nine when Amanda got home. Nola asked in a worry, "What took you so long?
The meal has been heated up several times."
"I'm sorry, Nola. I went out for dinner. I forgot to call you." Amanda apologized.
"It's good that you are not hungry. But Mr. Darren is a little unhappy. You'd better tell him." Nola said
with a smile.
"What made him unhappy? He should be happy if I didn't come back for dinner." Amanda didn't take
Nola's words seriously.
Nola said, "Mr. Darren had been waiting for you for an hour, but you didn't come back, so he had dinner
by himself."
Amanda was a little surprise, "Why did he have to wait for one hour? Why didn't call me?"
Nola spread out her hands and said, "I don't know, either. Mr. Darren's personality is just different from
others."
Amanda nodded her head. Although she didn't ask Darren to wait for her one hour without any
intention, he was still waiting for her. She needed to thank him for Nancy's issue anyway. She went to
Darren's room, knocked on the door and shouted, "Darren."
There was no response inside, and it was estimated that the man was probably angry again. Nola was
telling the truth. Darren was odd and insisted on going against ordinary people. When the door was
opened successfully, Amanda walked in directly and closed the door. However, the light was on in the
room, and the silver gray pillow on the big bed was a little behind, with a mark on the quilt. It seemed
that someone had left not long, and the laptop on the desk was still on, but he was not there.
There was no one else on the way upstairs. Amanda looked around and found five or six plane models
that looked very delicate. So she got curious and went to see them. These models were very lifelike.
She had played with her friends abroad before. There were also several limited editions.
"What are you doing?" A man's cold voice came from behind, which frightened Amanda. She screamed
and fell backwards. She stumbled and fell to the ground with one hand holding her waist.
As soon as Amanda saw that Darren was wrapped in a bath towel, she immediately jumped away from
Darren and said, "Why are you taking a shower?"
Darren frowned and said impatiently, "Can't I take a shower at this time?"
"Then why didn't you make a sound when I knocked at the door?"
"Can you hear the sound outside when you take a shower?" "Where did you go tonight?" Darren asked
impatiently.
"It's none of your business." His tone made Amanda uncomfortable, "Since you're fine, I'll take my
leave."
Darren said, "Where do you want to go?"
"I'm going back to sleep." Amanda proposed.
"Why did you come to see me?" Said Darren. She even didn't come back till late at night, and now she
was justified to be so bold.
Amanda frowned. The cold expression on Darren's face angered her. She said, "It's none of your
business. I never ask where you are going. Why should I tell you?"
"Amanda, do you know whom you are talking to?" Darren's face darkened, "I still have to emphasize
who you are."
"I know who I am." Amanda added.
She looked upset. Darren got impatient and said, "What do you know? If you knew that, why didn't you
tell me before you went out?"
"But you didn't tell me before." Amanda said, "I never ask you why. Why do you bother to ask me?"
"You want to compare yourself with me?" However, as soon as Darren ran close to Amanda, Amanda
stepped back out of instinct. Until her back hit the wall, she shouted hastily, "Darren, what's wrong with
you? Can't we have our own things to deal with? I won't ask you to do that, so you can't ask me to do
that."
Amanda blushed and pushed Darren away immediately, "What are you doing? I have to go now."
Darren let her go and sneered, "Cheng family had a case to cooperate with me, but I refused."
"What do you want to say?" Amanda asked, narrowing her eyes.
"I don't like their stupid plan." He smiled faintly, "But what would Cheng family think?"
"You're a despicable man. How can you threaten me with them?" Amanda threw an angry glance at
him.
"I'm just telling the truth. How they think that it's their business." Said Darren.
"Then why are you telling this to me? I don't know much about your business, anyway." Amanda
proposed.
"It's just a mess in you Cheng family. I don't care to do it myself. You'd better figure it out. Do you trust
me or Cheng family?" Said Darren.
Amanda smiled. All of a sudden, she lifted her leg and kicked the man. Darren's face changed and he
couldn't help but hold Amanda tightly with his eyes full of killing intent.
"No freaks and rapist there." Amanda added.
Darren let go of his hand and looked at Amanda with a smile. His eyes were beautiful and deep, "Do
you really think so?"
His figure was perfect under the light. Turning her eyes away, Amanda stood up immediately and
walked out. As she opened the door, she heard Darren's voice behind her, "Amanda, you have to pay
the price for what you've done. As proud as you are now, I'll step on it as hard as I can in the future."
'Son of a bitch! Did I come here to ask him to step on my pride?'
Amanda took a deep breath. As a lonely woman, she was indeed fighting against Darren like an egg
hits a stone. She answered in a low voice, "If you want to beat me, do it. You did it at the very
beginning. If you want to do it to bring you a sense of achievement, it only proves that I'm not that bad.
The achievement I give Mr. Darren will be overwhelming."
"I just hope that you will not fall in love with me then. In that case, I can still play the game." Darren
said. He had met a lot of women who were pretentious. He could attract a lot of attention as long as he
was in a good mood and bought them a car or a shop.
Amanda's hand that was holding the doorknob of the office paused for a second. She then said coldly,
"I don't dare to love playboys like you. I want to live a few more years."
After she returned to the bedroom, Amanda heaved a sigh of relief. She thumped the door angrily. The
damn marriage! If it hadn't been for this marriage, she wouldn't have been entangled with Darren, and
she would have been brave enough to pursue and accept others. However, she couldn't do anything in
this marriage, and she had to face such a bastard as Darren.
However, she could feel a hint of loneliness from his words. Amanda shook her head immediately. She
must be crazy. How could such a cold-blooded man have loneliness. She couldn't help but recall how
he behaved like a child when he was drunk. Although later, the result was very miserable. And also
recalled that he kicked Charles and took her to the hospital.
Amanda patted her face and warned herself, "Amanda, don't be fooled by what he did from time to
time. He has a mistress named Rose, and he allowed Rose to bully you and allowed you being bullied
by the company. Did you forget? Such a man deserves a woman like Rose. You'd better stay away
from him."
Strange to say, now that he had rejected the cooperation with Cheng family, but Cheng family didn't call
Amanda. Did they finally find that she was nothing for Darren?
