Sheena went back to the bedroom of Stephan before anyone noticed her behavior.
It's a long while before Stephan Korade came back to the room with a tired face.
"You're finally back." Sheena stood up from the sofa and smiled to Stephan. No matter what, she was grateful for what he had covered in front of his mother.
Stephan just took a glance at Sheena's smile and then collapsed onto his bed, with no hint to talk with her.
Sheena walked towards him closer, witnessing Stephan had closed his eyes as if sleeping.
"Are you alright?" Sheena asked. After seeing all of these things happened, Sheena knew Stephan was not that annoying as she expected and she wouldn't mind to show more care. Maybe it's good to be a friend to him.
However, Stephan turned his back to her and just kept silence.
Sheena tried to calm her down and not that easy to be pissed off by his behavior, but she just failed.
"Hey, what's going on? Are you deaf?" Sheena was never a patient woman, especially when in front of a careless man.
It's quite strange that, when Sheena was polite to inquire, Stephan didn't show any care. But when Sheena was pissed off and didn't cover anything but confess her true attitude, Stephan just changed into an obedient man.
"What? Couldn't you just be silent for a second for me to take a rest!" Stephan sat up on the bed and complained impatiently, staring at Sheena with eyes full of anger.
Sheena bit her lips and tried to calm down herself. She knew if she wanted to get things done, she had to holdback her temper. So, after a deep breath in and out, Sheena stared at Stephan firmly, "I'm going home now. Could you send me home?"
"Why?" Stephan looked up into her eyes, as if this was a ridiculous request.
"Why?" Sheena was amazed by what he said, "don't you think it's not suitable for us to stay overnight in the same room?"
Even though she married to him, that's a deal between he and she that he could get the inheritance right while she could comfort her grandpa with this marriage. Since it's a fake marriage, Sheena didn't think they need to sleep together.
Obviously, Stephan didn't think at the same way. Stephan raised his tone and asked, "we're a couple, why not suitable?"
It's so ridiculous! Sheena had never seen a man could change so quickly! Before the marriage, he had made promise that he wouldn't touch even a fur of hers and would let her go at the third anniversary. But now he seemed to totally forget what he had promised before the marriage.
"Didn't you just marry me for obtaining the inheritance right? How could you act like insane now?" Sheena desired to dig out his head to see what's inside. How could it develop like this? Is he making joke of her? But from the expression in his eyes, Sheena was shocked to find something strange inside.
Triggered by the sixth sense, Sheena walked towards the door and said, "no way, if things go on like this, it's better to confess to your grandpa now." Sheena felt regret to agree without a second thought. It's dangerous to cooperate with a changeable and crazy man like Stephan.
"Hey, hey!" Right before Sheena touched the door handle, Stephan jumped up from the bed and stopped her, "It's just a joke!"
When Sheena looked back, Stephan bore the playboy expression as usual and grinned from ear to ear, "come on, couldn't you just act as I expected?"
With slowed down heart beats, Sheena stopped and stared at Stephan, silent and still.
Stephan walked towards her smilingly. "You're such a serious girl that even couldn't tell the lies."
Stephan's mocking successfully waken up Sheena, bringing her down to the ground on which Sheena could feel firm and safe. Sheena grinned slightly, "You almost scar the shit out of me." Widely opened her eyes, Sheena was indeed feeling bothered just now. If Stephan was scalawag in this case, Sheena would rather die than marry him.
"Is that really so terrifying to be my real life?" Stephan narrowed his eyes looking at her, as if he did care such ridiculous thing.
Sheena walked towards the door and turned to Stephan with a grimace, "Of course, you belong to the forest of girls, not me."
Without waiting Stephan to say anything, Sheena walked out of the room.
Behind the back of Sheena, Stephan's smile cracked.
Just as Sheena expected, Stephan sent her back to her apartment before he left without saying anything.
Watching the tail of the sports car, Sheena shrugged her shoulders and finally released, "Playboy, hard to get along with."
Although she was a little bit confused for his attitude change, she didn't want to pay much attention to this. She had something more serious to deal with.
After a bath in the apartment, Sheena came down and took a taxi to the next destination.
For a girl busying in studying and making money, it's not intelligent to badger with a man who is in a completely different world. Therefore, no matter what, Sheena thought nothing could be more important than making a big fortune.
"Hey, you come so late today!" A rough voice wakened up Sheena from the deep thought. Sheena turned around, witnessing Mike Clinton was standing right at the door of Star Bar, where Sheena was doing a part-time job here.
By the way, Mike Clinton was the classmate of Eason Brook, and also a son of a big entrepreneur. It's said that, although he was born as an illegitimate child, he had received a big fund as a graduation gift. What's why when Eason worked in the law office, Mike had entered the society to be a boss of a night bar called Star Bar. As he claimed, since he wouldn't be accepted as others kids of the family to inherit the heritage, he would rather live under no pressure and just enjoyed the life as he liked. It's lucky that his bar was popular since the very beginning and Sheena was employed due to the friendship and her capacity.
"Sorry, I have some trouble to deal with." Sheena smiled and walked into the bar, followed by Make who kept inquiring about the trouble she was into.
"Tell me, " Mike was quite a funny guy who was totally different from his appearance. With a perfectly-shaped body, he was just nagging as a granny. "What kind of trouble? Man or money? You could just tell me, maybe I can do you a favor."
"Do me a favor?" Sheena turned around and caught Mike shocked by her turning, Sheena, "If I said money, how would you help me? Just give me stacks of currency? "
Embarrassed and scratching head, Mike bit his lips and looked pathetic, "If it's needed indeed, I would, but it wouldn't be that much…You could just tell me the number, I could check my account…"
Sheena saw his serious face and couldn't continue anymore but burst into laughter, "Stop, Mike, how could you be a bar owner with such an innocent mind? So easy to be cheated by me?"
Sheena just couldn't believe he would have gone so far that even have planned to do the lending.
"Again! So bad you are, cheat me again!" Mike was pissed off but released from worry about her.
"Haha, please forgive me." Sheena begged for mercy, while Mike kept chasing after her to beat her.
After quite a few rounds of running and chasing, Sheena was caught by Mike, who didn't beat her but just patted her shoulders for quite a few times.
"Finally…" Sheena sighed and accepted the punishment from Mike.
It's the backstage room that it's prepared for the actors to dress up or makeup. It's so late at night that everyone had been on the stage for performances, therefore nobody had been in the room.
After a simple makeup and dressing-up, Sheena was sitting in front of the row of mirrors, "However, if you really want to help me, I would rather..."
Mike sat in front of the opposite row of mirrors but turning around to look at her, in a curious face about what Sheena was asking for.
"How about raising my salary? 2000 bucks?" Sheena smiled with a flattering face.
Mike tried hard to swallow the regret in giving the promise of helping her, she was just not that kind of girl that he should easily give a hand. How could such a girl be so obsessed with money? Since the very first day of hiring, she had tried all means to bargain for salary increase when she witnessed the business growth of the bar. Of course, he had always agreed due to the popularity of the bar and her capacity, as well as the clients that she had attracted. That's why Sheena had gotten a salary 5 times of the employee of the same kind. If he kept being tamed to raise her salary like this, all money he had earned from the bar would be into her pocket.
"No way!" Mike looked aside to refuse looking into her eyes full of flattering. Although the salary amount was not that much for him when compared with his deposit, he hated to be controlled by such a girl, especially she was his junior. The best junior to him and Eason Brook.
