"Why did you save me?",he repeated,"You just gave me a huge lecture on how I am not related to you and all....and now you saved me why?", asked he.
Lucy was facing more pressure from his voice than from his hand which was pushing her against the wall. "Because I felt like", she said, roughly.
"And why did you feel like saving me?", asked Adrian, boring into her eyes.
"I just can't see anyone dying in front of me while I am standing there, ok", she lied, as she remembered the number of people she had killed in cold blood without any regret.
"I don't like to be in anyone's debt....not even my fake wife", he said, backing away .
"Just repay the debt by talking a little sweetly ", she said to herself.
"I will pay you....how much money 💰 do you want?", he asked, taking out his phone.
"I don't want any money from you. I have money to fulfill all my needs", she said," And I not that sort of person who you can please with money".
"What do you want then?", he asked.
"Nothing ... actually, you can give me something. Just behave normally around me, at least and not like some kidnapper who has kidnapped me. You were alright in the afternoon...but I don't what happened to you now. Even though we are in a fake relationship but you can still talk a little sweetly" , burst Lucy.
"Just that much?", he asked, " And I wanted to say something to you too".
"What?", asked she.
"I am sorry for what happened before", he said," I shouldn't have said all that. And don't involve yourself in my matters or to save me again. You could have been badly injured".
"Instead of thanking me, you are ordering me . If anyone has saved your life, you should at least be grateful ", said she, scornfully.
"That's what I am saying. Don't ever save me again", he said.
Lucy was angry. But she had a lot of work and wanted to get away from there. So she turned around but Adrian stopped her by pulling her hand. Then he took out a first aid box from his cupboard. There was a minor cut on Lucy's right hand. He fixed it carefully with the help of medicine and bandage, and Lucy was not even able to move while looking straight into his eyes.
"Thank you", she said.
"No need ", he said, as he turned around, "And stay away from me".
"He will never change" sighed Lucy as she went to her laptop 💻.
