"Don't try me, lady…."
"Whatever…"
The audacity of this guy to order me around when it was vague why it worked him up about that man with the surname Greene.
The car is in silence since he has instructed me to remain quiet. However, I couldn't stay at ease in my seat. I turned to my right and stared at the man beside me.
"What?" he asked.
I replied, "Could you stop yelling at me? You can speak to me using your normal tone. Earlier, I was throwing questions at you because I do not know why you are ordering me not to get associated with that man when it has nothing to do with me. Then, since you were bossing me around, is it better that you enlightened me instead?"
I'm curious why it concerned him about my safety when he hated me. After our paths crossed yesterday, he was never nice but treated me as the lowest.
Thus, I believe there is a reason he faked his concern for me in front of that man.
And speaking of that man, I wonder who he is.
Rowan and Crazy George appeared agitated when he was around. He also seemed to know how the man next to me had an affection for Stella.
"You don't need to know. Just listen to what I am saying." Crazy George uttered after a long silence, and, in fairness, he lowered his tone this time. Actually, I didn't expect that he would listen to my request without him putting up an argument.
My gaze lingered on his face for a while. This man is too gorgeous, but he has such a terrible attitude. He is too full of himself.
Florian and Rowan have better personalities than him. So I wondered how many men there were in the Graham family. It would be scary if they all had a terrible temper like George.
'I hope there is no other crazy person in the family.'
I'm worried about my best friend's safety, so I hope Florian will protect her, particularly from his family.
Silence fell in the car again, and I let it be as it allowed me to sort out my thoughts. Looking out the window, I tilted my head and pondered.
"Is it my right to know? It was you who wanted to use me. There are situations I cannot avoid happening in the future. Then, isn't it better for you to apprise me?" I tried my best to look determined. I sounded a little sweet in the hope this man would tone down. However, he only scolded me.
"Stop flirting with me. Do you think you can seduce me like how you did to my cousin? Stop dreaming! You are no match for Stella."
Crazy George snapped his fingers as he was saying this. I rolled my eyes and pursed my lips.
'The audacity of accusing me of flirting with him? Wasn't he embracing me too tight in his arms a while ago?'
The guy actually had a thick face.
Anyway…
I don't know what got into me, and I am saying such things. What I really think of now is to disappear from this crazy guy's world, and I will take Camilla with me.
I sensed someone staring at me, and when I looked, I saw Crazy George fixating on me.
"What?" This time, I was the one asking arrogantly. I lifted my left brow along one of my shoulders and shrugged.
Seeing my proud look, Crazy George narrowed his gaze and snorted.
"Don't overthink about it. I only wanted to avoid more problems with the competition between our companies. Since you are with my cousin, I don't want him to lose control of the situation. Recently, I received a report that Florian was being followed. If the enemy learns about his affairs. They will do every means to utilize this information and try to cut one of Graham's pillars so they can destroy a part of the shield that protects this family."
"Huh? Like what? That Florian has an affair? Is that the kind of lame strategy he'll use? How about him? He looks like he had one or two women as well."
"Hah! You are right. But they are the people who do not care about their image and reputation. However, our family is from a long line of aristocrats. We live for our name."
"Can't you cover it up like the woman Florian with is his colleague?" When I said this, George cast a sidelong glance in my direction. "What?"
"Are you that stupid? Leonard knew Florian didn't love Stella, but she was madly in love with my cousin. Even though my cousin had no interest in his wife, they had a harmonious marriage at first. Ever since they were married five years ago, no girl has gotten near him. Florian stayed faithful. He did not get involved with any women surrounding him. Instead, they attended the gathering as a normal couple until recently..."
Crazy George trailed off his last words, and I somehow understood it. He was pointing at me as responsible for the marriage to ruin.
Ever since he crossed the path with Camilla, Florian fell in love with her. And George got intrigued by what kind of woman Camilla was. Unfortunately, the one he found is me. Now he didn't stop insulting me.
"If you don't understand anything yet… which amazes me how dumb you are… I should not overlook the fact that you are Florian's weakness."
George insulted me again by calling me dumb. Well, I understand what he is trying to explain. However, I would not correct him with his wrong assumptions. So, I am saving my voice from this nonsense since it is becoming a waste of time. Instead, I opened another topic.
"I thought you wanted to bring your cousin down?" I said, and George glared at me.
"That's not true. I only hate him because he does not deserve Stella. He doesn't care if his actions hurt her; he has done something worse lately. So as punishment, I won't let him have a higher position in the company. But when it comes to someone trying to harm our family, I would not let them do as they please. And since you were with Florian, I have to admit that you are a triumphant card to our enemy. Moreover, you can help me end Stella and Florian's marriage."
"Oh. Do I hear you saying I am important?" I smiled broadly and sounded teasing, which made Crazy George pissed off. I could see how he hated admitting I was truly useful, a.k.a. the fake mistress.
"Don't fly too high. One day, I'll cut those wings."
His mouth twitched from irate. His eyes were full of disdain, mocking me endlessly.
Seeing the sourness on his face, I am uncertain whether I should cry or laugh.
"You've threatened me before leaving your cousin," I mumbled. I know it reached the crazy guy's ears, but he didn't comment, so I behaved.
Honestly, for the things that we've discussed, I get to know more about this man's personality.
He has a terrible temper, but I could not deny that he cares about the Graham family. He loves to torture me, but at the same time, he has given value to my importance as Florian's woman. Or is it just my belief?
Well, he gives justice to the nickname I give him. He is crazy, indeed! How his brain works is a mystery to me as to what he really wanted in his life.
I think he couldn't decide whether to thank me and use my help to win over Stella.
On the other hand, it made me realize why Camilla was being cautious.
She is very careful not to cross paths with Florian's original wife. At the same time, her life would also be in danger by Graham's enemies.
"It looks like that man knew Stella very well," I commented, but then I earned a sharp glare from the crazy guy beside me.
"Just shut up now, will you?"
"Jeez..." I rolled my eyes, shrugged my right shoulder, and looked outside the window.
"Where are we going?" I asked when I noticed we were taking a different route, and it was not returning to our hotel.
