Love Together, Be With You Never novel Chapter 61

"Oh, here you are." Kieran looked at me with his sharp eyes and said indifferently.

I said yes, but froze with fear all over.

"Come here!" Kieran ordered.

Without delay, I cautiously walked over, but every step I took, I felt a chill coming from the bottom of my feet, ready to devour me.

All the colleagues in the office kept their heads down, looking like they were working, but in fact, they were peeping at me, as if they had bet everything on me.

And no wonder, only when Kieran put on a face that indicated neither irritation nor indifference, other women dared to fawn on him. He scared everyone away when he sat there like a cold-face Satan, just like now. If I were them, I would be scared shit out of myself.

But Everly looked at me with a smile through a window, looking elegant and waiting for me to be punished. I didn't have time to think about her. I might not live to the lunch today, not to mention seeing tomorrow's sun.

"Why didn't you answer my phone?" Kieran raised his head and looked at me, one hand tapping on the table out of boredom.

"I, I was about to, but the phone slipped into the sink. I picked it up. And it went black. It died." I lied in a low, drawling voice, managing a weak smile. I didn't need a mirror to know how embarrassed I was. Anyone could tell that I was lying, let alone him!

However, as his girlfriend, I had no choice but to lie. I couldn't tell the truth in public. What would they think if I said I spent the night with Marlon and when I was about to pick up the phone in his bed this morning, he broke it?

Kieran would kill me for sure.

"Your phone is broken?" He said gently, stood up and touched my head.

I trembled in fear and nodded in confirmation.

"Then buy a new one." Kieran smiled at me. I stiffened. What was he trying to do now? It was so terrifying.

Before I could pull myself together, he took my hand and pulled me out, looking affectionate.

'Oh, that was close.'

I heard everyone heave a sigh of relief. Seeing that Kieran was going to take me away, they were relieved. They were safe, but I was about to face my execution!

Being led out by him, I was so nervous that my hands were sweaty. He couldn't punish me in front of so many people. But with us alone, he could do all he wanted to do.

Behind us, Everly walked out and saw us leaving hand in hand. Her slender fingers clenched into tight fists. Her face turned gloomy and cold. And words squeezed out from her mouth one after another, "Your days won't be long."

"Mr. Charles, it's my fault. You can punish me as you please." There were only us in the elevator. I took a few deep breaths before I had the courage to speak.

"You dropped your phone into the water. It's broken. You didn't do it on purpose!" Kieran said.

I looked at him and didn't know what to say. I was sure that he knew that I lied about spending the night with Marlon, but why didn't he call my bluff? I looked at his expressionless face and saw nothing. But since he didn't bring it up, I just kept quiet, too. So, I just followed him without saying a word.

"Get in!" We arrived at the parking lot and got into the car.

I was confused, but I didn't refuse. He was more terrifying than ever, like a time bomb. I had no idea when it would explode or how powerful it would be. I could only enjoy the valuable peace that I was left with now.

I was a little surprised when he drove to the HY Square. For him, it was a place where only poor people went and he would never come. Moreover, he was a clean freak. How would he come to a place infested with bacteria?

But he did come, and even went into it! I dared not ask, so I just followed behind him. I had to admit, Kieran was an eye-popper. Even the baby in the cart looked at him twice, not to mention the adult women. They were all dumbfounded seeing him. They just couldn't look away. I couldn't know if they recognized who he was, but his aura helped a lot keeping the crowd away.

Kieran entered an Apple store. I followed him in. To be honest, I had only heard of this brand. I had never touched it or used it. It was so expansive that I couldn't afford it.

Although I was curious about why he came here, I just stood quietly at a corner. Perhaps he needed a new phone.

"Sir, how, how can I help you?" The moment he entered, all the waitresses looked away from their phones and froze. Then the nimblest one came over and offered help. However, just as she went near, she was scared sweaty by his casual glance. So, she just stood far away and kept their distance.

The others didn't dare to approach, but their gazes, bursting with infatuation, were glued to him.

"I want the latest model!" Kieran said indifferently.

The nimble one instantly took one out and put it on the table. Kieran put a bank card on the table. She got his hint and took the card. Then she respectfully put it back on the table. Kieran took out a fancy handkerchief to wipe it before putting the card into his pocket. Then the handkerchief was thrown into the trash can.

I was speechless seeing that. That was how rich people lived. He didn't need to ask prices. This few thousand might be nothing in his eyes.

"Open it." Kieran ordered. The waitress quickly followed and looked at him, hoping Kieran would give her some more orders!

"What are you standing there for? Move it." Kieran looked at me. I had to walk over. Only then did the waitresses see me. But they just saw me as his maid. Well in fact, it was about the same!

"Don't drop it into the water again!" Kieran said to me.

I looked at Kieran, shocked, "You bought it for me?"

"Of course, who else could it be?" Kieran blurted out.

I looked at the phone on the table and couldn't say a word.

"You always, always pick up when I call, okay?" Kieran stroked my head. I felt my body petrify inch by inch. What the hell was this? We didn't know anyone here. He didn't need to pretend.

But seeing him smiling, I was at a total loss. I had no idea what Kieran was doing!

Kieran held my hand like he always did, stuffed the phone into my pocket, and took me out.

"Heavens, who is that woman and what is their relationship?"

"He is so handsome and rich. His card is VIP black! He must be super rich. But why did he buy that woman a mobile phone and tell her so dotingly to pick up every time he calls? That's something one could only see on TV!"

"I don't believe it. I just can't. That woman looks so frumpy. Even I am prettier. She looks just like a malnourished teenager. How could she be his girlfriend? Absolutely impossible!"

As soon as we walked out of the store, I heard them talking.

Just like them, I couldn't believe what just happened. Fortunately, when we walked out of the plaza, Kieran left early and told me to go back to the company. I then felt relieved. I walked towards the bus stop, but I still couldn't believe it, feeling weird with the phone in my hand.

Suddenly, my eyes fixed on one person. In front of the bus stop, Marlon's car stopped, and he got out of the car with Alicia in his arms and rushed into the hospital.
