"You know, I quite admire your composure. But I am afraid that she has an unforgiving temper. Be careful, she might settle scores with you in the future." Edward said to Luke with a malicious smile. He was rather astonished at first, too. But he then rejoiced inwardly, thinking that something good might happen here. Something probably related to a crush, or love.
"So what? She's just a little girl, what can she even do to me?" It seemed like Luke wasn't paying any attention to Michelle, and was even looking down upon her Edward wondered whether she would kick up a big stink if she found this out. Judging from her hot temper, he believed that she definitely would.
"I have been there. And mark my words, one should never ever underestimate a woman. Offend them once and you are doomed for life!" said Edward, winking at Luke gloatingly. If he saw things right, Luke and Michelle were actually into each other. It was only a matter of time before Jack could have his Jill. But given the fact that Luke was very clumsy in the matter of love, they still had a long way to go.
Although Luke had wounds all over his body, they were not very severe. So the doctor had only disinfected the wounds and applied medicine to them. But it was still quite an ordeal for Luke to have so many wounds treated at one time. He might have managed to display a calm exterior, but it was truly a gut-wrenching scene for Edward. And Luke's suffering further added to Edward's hatred towards Joseph, KG's CEO.
No sooner had Michelle seen the doctor off than she stormed in the room. She walked up to Luke, gnashing her teeth. She only became increasingly irritated when waiting outside. It was true that she wasn't the kind of perfectly charming or coquettish girl, but she was pretty and cute. How could someone like her, ever disgust anyone? How could he be so rude to her? "Hey! Mr. Chilly. What wrong did I ever do to you? Why do you treat me like this? I want an explanation!" huffed Michelle with her hands on her hips. Raising her head, she looked at Luke with a pride of a peacock, determined to get an apology from him. She was too angry to remember that Luke's master Edward was still in the room. And it was the first time that Edward got completely ignored by a woman, or more specifically, a seemingly underage girl.
"Get out of my way," said Luke sternly. Without even looking at Michelle, he walked straight past her to Edward, simply ignoring her. "Mr. Mu, I will go back to my room and change. Call me if you need anything," he then said.
"OK, go and have a rest." Edward nodded. His voice shook because he was badly controlling his laughter. He wouldn't get bored in days ahead, he thought to himself, given these two funny fellows were around him.
"So what is it? I am talking to you, Mr. Chilly!" Luke's reaction made her jaw drop to the floor. Unwilling to give up, she hurried to chase after him. She incessantly shouted behind him. But the moment she got to his door, the door shut in front of her with a bang, bumping her little snub nose.
"Michelle, that's just the way he is. I hope you don't mind." Edward gave a little cough, with his fist covering his mouth to stifle his laughter.
So, his name is Luke? But Luke means brightness. He is such a narrow-minded person who in no way deserves this name. No offence, but how do you put up with his bad temper?" Michelle protested with the sides of her mouth dropped. Then, in order to vent out her anger, she kicked at the door multiple times before walking back to Edward's side.
"I have long gotten used to it. He has a good heart. It is only that he is not very talkative. I think it has something to do with his past relationship. Well, he was once dumped by a woman." Edward smiled conspiratorially when he said this. He wondered how that one-track minded man would react to it when he found out about it. Would he toss away his loyalty and go up against his master? It was just so amusing to imagine.
"I'm not surprised at all! Who will be interested in a man like him? Who will like someone as dumb as an ox? A girl will only be with him when pigs fly!" Michelle snorted. But a few seconds later, she pondered hard on what Edward just said. So, he was like this because he had been hurt in his past relationship? Was this all a way to keep himself guarded from love? 'Fine! I will be the bigger person and forgive you this time. It is true that I am a tough girl, but luckily I'm also very kind-hearted.' Michelle rolled her eyes and thought to herself.
Hearing her words, Edward finally burst into laughter. "Keep it to yourself and never let him know about it. Otherwise, I bet you will break his heart again," he said in a serious tone after calming himself down. He was now torn between laughing and crying. He felt a bit guilty, too. So, Mr. Mu, was it really a good idea to set Luke up like this?
"OK, you can be rest assured. I will never tell him that I know he has been dumped by someone before." However, it seemed that Michelle didn't have the slightest doubt about his words. So when she remembered this moment someday in the future, she couldn't have regretted more. She had really wanted to kill herself for being such a fool and believing in what he said so readily.
"Be sure not to say a word to him, not even when you are angry, and no matter how angry you are, just stay mum." Edward stressed. Although he appeared to be serious, he was laughing inside. It was so much fun to trick an innocent and unsophisticated girl like Michelle. 'I am being so nice to you, Luke, for I have found you such an interesting girl to add spice to your life. Now you owe me a lot!'
"There is really no need to worry. Do you think that I will ever get a chance to tell him anything? You too have seen the way he treated me just now. He never talks to me properly." Michelle replied with a great deal of frustration in her voice. She was too depressed to notice that she was actually falling into a trap set by Edward.
So as I see it, you should first try to make him like you. That way, he will not give you a cold shoulder anymore." Edward became as bold as brass in an attempt to set them up. And not only did he arouse Michelle's interest in Luke successfully without her even noticing it, but had also made her think that he was only helping her out.
Absolutely! Why haven't I ever thought of such a good idea? That's settled then. Let's see how I manage to tame this cold fish now." Well well, now she was doing it all to herself. And that was how our lovely Michelle got totally brain-washed by the naughty Mr. Mu.
