"Bullshit. She just harped on it a lot and was getting on my nerves. But still, I'm not changing the way I do things because of her. I know who I am, and I am not her. She can take her words and stick 'em where the sun doesn't shine." Leena kept her eyes open, and stared into Kevin's soul. She wanted to know what he was thinking.
"I'm sorry. You must be upset, " said Kevin apologetically. Kevin took her in his arms. Young and willful as she was, he thought she might get angry and have a meltdown every now and then. But she never did that. Maybe it was because that she was more mature and smarter than most women her age.
"Are you apologizing to me on her behalf? Don't do that. Seeing you do anything for her will upset me and make me think you and her are a real couple. You don't need to apologize for some crazy skank." Leena looked irritated. 'I'm not a paranoid and crazy woman. But I can still get hurt, " she thought to herself.
"I'm apologizing for the situation. This whole thing was pretty hard for both of us. I don't want you to be upset. So, don't think too much. I'm telling you straight up, no hidden meanings."Kevin got nervous when Leena treated him indifferently and apathetically. People processed their emotions in their own way, but that didn't mean that her coldness made him feel any better. He knew Leena was generous, kind and reasonable. He felt lucky to have married a girl like her.
"Do you think I'm mean? Come on, Kevin. I have already given up expecting you to love me too much. But as for me flying off the handle -- I thought you knew me better than that. If you did know me, then you wouldn't have said that to me, " said Leena. You could almost hear the tears behind her words. She couldn't help mocking her love and marriage as well as her husband's devotion to her. If Kevin did love her, he would have known her better.
"You got me all wrong, honey. Or do you think I cheated as the handsome CEO was about to leave the meeting room of Kompass Group. Shaun gritted his teeth and glowered at the man. He wouldn't have lost if his father hadn't negotiated an agreement with Edward behind his back.
"Mr. Gao, don't be a fool. I never said that I'll always win. I just won this time, and quite possibly, the next. However, I wouldn't have even bothered if you hadn't tried to purchase MY Mall's shares. So I decided to play with you when you tried to mess with me. But you're a terrible rival. You were so stupid that it was almost boring, " answered Edward coldly and proudly. If Shaun was trying to throw Edward off, he failed miserably. Edward retained his composure in spite of Shaun's deliberate provocation. He never took Shaun seriously, knowing that he was a weak opponent, as well as a clown. He knew he could bring the head of Kompass Group down easily, and that was what he did.
"Oh, come on, you smug prick. Just wait and see. Kompass will be on top very soon. I can promise you that." Shaun clenched his fist, and refrained from punching Edward on his scornful face. However, he couldn't pick a fight with Edward, because he was actually weaker both physically and mentally. He knew on an instinctual level that he would be humbled in the exchange.
