A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 67

“This has nothing to do with you, tell her to come out. I have already seen her, stop covering for her.”

Wilson is not happy about what he is hearing, his face is dark, “I am sorry, my employees are working right now, they are not allowed to welcome guests during this time.”

Kevin doesn’t even bother Wilson, he looks at the office desk, behind which he knows Sunny is hiding, and says, “The things I just said, I will go and do them, if you are not out by five.”

Sunny is actually afraid that Kevin might want to separate Kelly and Ellison, she has no choice but to come out of her hiding place. Little by little, she moves towards Kevin, till she is in front of him by the time he finishes counting to five.

“Do you need something from me?”

Kevin throws a hatred look at Wilson and says, “Let’s talk outside.”

Sunny has no choice but to follow him, they find a safe place.

When they arrive, Sunny subconsciously keeps some distance to Kevin, “What do you need?”

“Sunny, why does you leave?”

When she hears that question, she wants to laugh.

“Shouldn’t you know my reasons why? Nobody likes to be a substitute.”

“I don’t see you as a substitute!” Kevin wants to explain himself, but he doesn’t know that Sunny wouldn’t even listen to him.

“The picture in your office, and that photograph, tell me, why do our eyes look so similar?”

Kevin doesn’t know how to answer that question, he could only answer slowly, “I really doesn’t take you as a substitute.”

“Kevin, it doesn’t matter, we both know you don’t like me, who you like are Jenna and Bella, and now that Jenna is back, I will need to leave.”

Kevin couldn’t say anything to that, he takes a few steps toward Sunny, and takes her into his arms, before she could even try to escape.

“You are you, you are not like her!”

Kevin says into her ears, which makes Sunny’s ears heat up.

And on top of that, she is having Kevin’s scent in her nose, all this makes it so hard for Sunny to push Kevin away.

“Let me go. We can talk, but don’t get physical.”

But Kevin is acting like a child, he hugs her even tighter instead of letting her go.

“No, I won’t, as soon as I let you go, you will run away and I will never see you again.”

“Kevin, would you please act like a grown up?”

“If the price for being mature is to lose you, then I don’t want to be.” Sunny doesn’t know where Kevin learned to talk like this, it i causing her goose bumps.

“Alright, alright. I cannot believe this. Let me go first, I won’t go anywhere.”

Kevin is holding the most precious in his arms, he has no intention to even listen to her.

The next second, she is even starting to get on his nerves, so Kevin covers her mouth with a kiss.

Kevin...

Sunny grabs his shirt with one hand, but her body loses all energy, and she is sinking down.

Kevin held her waist with one hand, and with the other, he is holding her head, giving deep into the kiss.

Sunny feels that all her strength is being sucked away, this moment she is so dizzy that she doesn’t know what to do no more.

So all she can do is to hold on to Kevin, and let him kiss her. No one would ever know how much she missed him.

When the kiss finishes, Kevin slowly let go of Sunny, holds her face and said, “Don’t run away from me, let us talk, please?”

When they are back to the topic, Sunny’s face hardens again, “Why are you here, really, there is nothing for us to talk about.”

And there is a Bella in between them.

Kevin is looking at this girl in front of him, she was just so gentle to him, but now Sunny is like a different person, for some reason he thinks it is funny.

“Alright, do you want to hear a story?”

Sunny laughs, “Let me hear it first.”

Kevin is remembering his dust covered past.

“A long time ago, me and Bella met in America, at that time she already has a boyfriend, and I is just having a crush on her single sided.”

“What about those photos, and the letters.” Sunny reminds him.

“Listen to me.”

“There is a time when she broke up with her boyfriend, so she came to visit me, those pictures we took when she came, have you not noticed that the hair barely changed?”

Sunny is trying to remember, he is right.

“Continue.”

“I just think I owe her, because during that fire, she saved my life, so I always thought she died because of that. I feels really guilty.”

“Okay, and now?”

“Now she is back, but I feel she is not the same as before anymore, I can’t say what is different about her. You need to know that I is thinking about you every second that I spent with her.”

“Yesterday I saw both of you going to a hotel, I saw you at the door, you went inside together, don’t even try to deny that.”

Kevin laughs bitterly, “If I tell you that I only went in to get her a room, but I never went inside it, would you believe me?”

The disbelieve is written on Sunny’s face.

“If you don’t believe me, you can go and check the security cameras. All I does there is to help her get a room, she has a fight at home, she has no money, no ID, so...”

“But still, whenever she has a problem she calls you, that is not normal, and you are so handsome too...”

The last part of the sentence Sunny says in a very small voice, but Kevin still hears it, “Are you being jealous?”

“Oh hell, do I need to?”

Sunny’s angry voice is getting louder, “You haven’t even solved your own problems yet, don’t come and annoy me.”

Kevin’s face expression is not pretty after Sunny said that, “I came here just to explain things to you, I am being so patient, why do you not even try to believe me?”

“It’s not that I don’t want to believe you, Kevin, it’s that I can’t. What you just said, I don’t know how to believe that. Stop coming here, just accept that you and me are over, our contract is also canceled. This is it, alright?”

Kevin is so angry, his face is all red, “If this is how you want things to be, Sunny, do you believe me if I say I am going to destroy you, until you have no one to count on, and in the end you will need me?”

Sunny listens to Kevin in disbelieve and looks at him with big eyes, “Are you crazy?!”

“Yes, I am crazy, ever since I found out that Bella is alive, I have already gone crazy, and when I came back and couldn’t find you, it only made it worse, so yes, I am crazy, what do you want to do? Bring me to a mental institution?”

Sunny looks at Kevin with a cold gaze, “I don’t want to talk to you.”

“You can’t go, if you don’t believe me today, I am not gonna let you go.”

“Let me go, Kevin, are you mad!”

Sunny does not understand why they has to fight like this, it is as if they are meant to drive the other party crazy.

“Alright, alright. Stop it. Kevin please let go of me, I won’t leave.”

Sunny is tired, her voice also softens, “Let’s not fight here, this is my work place.”

“If you want, you know I can give you like 100 of these places.”

“You know this is not what I meant.”

“Then you should also know that you cant just get rid of me that easily.”

Sunny sighs, her hands drop, “Talk, say whatever you came here to say, fast.”

Kevin takes a deep breath, and tried to say calmly, “I like you.”

...

Sunny feels as if she is hit by lightening when she hears that sentence.

“What did you say?”

Kevin’s face goes dark again, so Sunny stops playing him.

“And then?”

Kevin looks at her, what “then” does she want to hear?

“You like me, but you also like Bella, don’t you know?”

“I know...”

Sunny sees that he agreed, her face hardens, she doesn’t expect Kevin to actually admitted this fact.

“So, Kevin,” Sunny keeps some distance between them, “I am a neat freak when it comes to feelings, I do not want to share my man with someone else, I am not going to tolerate that.”

Kevin hears that, and feels that he failed, “So... this is it?”

Sunny is not able to say the final words, she she sighs and said, “This is it, for now.”

“Then...” Kevin still doesn’t want to let Sunny go, “Stay with me for a little while, I will leave you soon.”

“Don’t even think about it, Kevin, I am not here to sell myself, next time you got needs, go and get it somewhere else.”

Kevin’s face is not nice, “I just want to spend some time with you, I doesn’t ask you to do anything!”

“Oh really, Kevin? Can you promise me that?”

Kevin doesn’t know what he should reply to that, and Sunny uses that moment.

“I still got work to do, so I will leave you here, please suit yourself, Mr. Quinn.”

Sunny and Kevin part in this manner, and when Sunny goes back to her office, the gossip queen Evan came to her, asking, “I heard that guy is from Hotan?”

“Who?” Sunny replies to him annoyed.

“Oh come on, Sunny sister, why are you trying to keep this from me.” Evan laughs in a gay manner, all he is missing is a flower behind his ear and his fingers held like a flower.

“Haha, I don’t have a brother.” Sunny has to admit that she let her anger out on Evan, and he is really good mannered, and is still laughing about it.

Just then, Winson comes out of no where, “It’s working time, stop chitchatting.”

Evan is just about to get some gossip from Sunny, when Wilson comes in between and knocks it all over. He rolls his eyes, Winson is his boss, so he couldn’t do anything but to go back to work.

“Sunny, come to my office after work please.” Winson says and leaves before Sunny has a chance to ask him anything.

“Hahaha, Sunny baby, your Evan brother doesn’t need to take extra hours today, so I will be leaving now!”

“To go to your boyfriend’s?” Sunny asks provocatively, and Evan almost throws himself on her.
