“Yeah, let’s go.Dar. Ling.”484088c4af2462c1
I subtly grabbed Theo’s shirt hem as if linking arms. Theo glanced down at my arm and chuckled, as if it was ridiculous. After exchanging goodbyes with the head of the headquarters, who suggested we have a meal together next time, we left the lobby. 29cde0b8dba40344

With every step, b787378c8f countless eyes and 24651d96bb whispers followed us.Are they dating? Looks like they are. Oh my, 305c7da000 Ranieri and 18c16074c4 the pizza e786dcc64e delivery guy. What happened 96aa483641 to the 05f03233db Ranieri rumor 9e176e8652 then?b5a76d8fac797335
There was no way 4bc9f2ce6c Theo wouldn’t hear them. Nevertheless, he kept talking 9ea1f4feec to me as if 4a43ef924c he hadn’t heard anything.Where did 738e9e1329 you park, 1cdc35251b where did ff6fc223e7 you go, 63a5e1adcd how much 3d5952219e fun did b1b255d6a0 you have 2efe6c3fd0 that your 4f01f66969 clothes were 99484f6f90 covered in c368d2fc9c dirt, etc. 8fa9c075693dadc7

He asked me questions, f2bd374f7c pretending to be a 46aed2e4fb loving couple. Muttering, I replied 8db994cf2b to him with 5027fbc3bb a smile.I parked just fine, darling. Are you listening to me? I told you I was on the west coast. Don’t you understand? Is my darling an idiot? There’s a lot of sand, so I’m dirty.85121badab2e7bb2
If his gaze 6bf1f9ef11 or expression had 680999ee10 been even a 8435d6787f little cold, I b2827d3f73 would have wisely 2d1fc5bad4 kept quiet, but b5051cef58 perhaps because there 552b6b110f were so many 7124a8dcf6 eyes on us. He let my boldness e88fbae658 slide with a laugh. Yes, he was clearly 374a2087e2 conscious of the attention.61872695b2423417

Even though he cb73f65702 acted nonchalant, pretending b2f7c5e695 not to hear a4661a8182 the whispers, Theo 9cf8f1397f has quite a bb40db96aa good memory. He’s likely very 1892df3cbe aware of the c8b9042399 rumors and reputation b910cae7db that follow him. 737ccaa13feb065f
It’s highly probable 0db9f61a55 that he called 0f078f68a6 me to the 60990b1a6e VCI lobby, where 906ab9e20b most people would cb00377165 recognize us, to a5c89d0c79 quell any rumors 4582f68601 about him. Like the ones 1e26730e70 saying he’s gay 7f0d1cdb4a or impotent.82f5cec01fcdcb52

Or maybe, because of the rumors, he doesn’t have any women to meet. He can’t freely indulge in his desires like a dandelion seed floating in the wind, making things awkward for him.32116d81d2c3f059
Whatever it is, 725443b282 it doesn’t change 582e17be1f the fact that 69d30cece3 he’s trying to 0766e3f3b4 take advantage of e165615a54 me.187b997e734b7d34

“You’re really rotten, aren’t you? My darling.”fcf105d4877ef244
I smiled 5696e13f05 brightly, expressing 0a7f21a9f2 my disgusted 6d4478905c thoughts. Whether I die from fda8d9b07f holding my thoughts in d7ea0d3f03 or from being stripped 4df226863a bare like a rat bc24dbadc0 caught in a trap, 4b4288894f it’s all the same. But I thought 1703cdd9d9 that if I 2d71558dfb spoke my mind 75fcd33d4b now—even if I eb119c8574 had to beg 025f4714fe on my knees 0c5d89983e later—I’d feel at 2576ba8234 least a little 1e4ca62d91 relieved.65f05c9ca422d736

Theo, who seemed like he’d listen to anything I said, suddenly stopped in his tracks. I must have been too honest. Maybe I should have phrased it differently.4ce00c92e4c60824
After speaking 4a1d67fa57 my mind 96a8d5a13b and feeling 2035806b4b a bit 0f647a72ff relieved, guilt aa948b1b19 and regret 15b5c757df slowly started 1d2bbcc685 to rise. Just as 4e807c30d2 I was c902fa1066 about to 52e4fb434e let go 56bcefd3d4 of his 835cc239e8 arm, Theo 19f0be5c03 grabbed my f62f46e32c limp hand b98174c828 and laughed 97c44c54b1 out loud.a393c21c38cbd204

The sound of 76862aa205 his low, spreading 55e2ab3df3 laughter and the 80d43604b5 smile on his 8d4ed48136 striking face were f8b7914e7d pleasing to my 3f202504a3 eyes and ears, 8d8e915d2e but not to d05294ed4d my brain. 049d6d7501ebb938
Perhaps because I 3be60bc585 had already recognized 6899422c02 him as a a2599cd4c9 madman, he just 2be9698ae7 seemed like one. With all the 020aa535e3 sneaky glances around, 04a7ce6fb7 I felt like 3e64578063 my back was fd4fec5f18 about to be 09284242ac pierced by gazes. 2a7258bda19c8fe7

Yet, in the 328e8d2ce9 middle of the 66dde6292a lobby, he kept 30b964a3c2 laughing to himself b79034b117 like he was 6fcbd60479 shooting a romance d72b719367 movie. Naturally, even 4427f83cc6 more attention 4b197c860f gathered.What are c4baf5537c you looking 743fed1c54 at? Got something 67f002e01e to watch?8739d8195939b1c7

The way 4a937b36c9 he said 958c030d7b it while 545e654346 gently rubbing c3ca5ea532 the back f14e667577 of my 2bd092575e hand was c2f346db07 even more 0db424d63f ridiculous. A chill a63ca645fd ran down 0a95ecdd0a my spine. I struggled to smooth 515993d60b out my crumpled expression, 12dc827575 forcing a smile that 9127d67c28 made the corners of 5640007f3d my mouth twitch.ea8e2cd7097adb6f

He laughed loudly, 65ce34d11a as if even a2d53bbfc1 my curse amused 37ddbf1858 him, and the 519bca0ab3 joy in his 7154b3542a slanted eyes was 969c1a0663 unmistakable. I could hear e583a33542 whispers behind us.I’ve never seen Ranieri 401ddf49b1 laugh like that. He looks like 2cff483d3a a different person ea211f0624 when he’s smiling.

Once we left the 70629a7309 lobby and entered the b7abe02a72 outdoor parking lot, the 41917ef15d attention dispersed. While there were 3fbdcfc69b still a few ce8dc6dbdb glances, most people 9ff2ae08bb quickly turned back 84ad49b6b1 to their own d382e199a1 cars. When I shyly 2eacc69a9c mentioned that my 67a3a0d92c car was in 35d7088c37 a different parking a9cb5f5b26 lot, he responded c96976eb16 with a bright 35e01b089a smile.8b15bd3257217d84

“Stop acting all awkward. Who goes on a separate date? Haven’t you ever been on one?”0f433fc9049e1ca4
I had plenty of e4b76e1d94 things I wanted to 686f352157 point out, but with f3df1e0e1d the eyes around us, 863fe9e5cd I had to hold 38c97a5511 back. He offered ce30525d66 to move 3ba2d025e3 my car b5114863f5 to my 80e6625bcb place if 007602ad97 I just af8fba93be gave him e7f3b60611 the keys, 3995881bf8 but I f05827a6e3 couldn’t trust d3cca65dd2 him enough 360ac0ba13 to hand f112a5beff over the a654880741 car keys.

I made up b8128704d2 a suitable excuse e49746f521 to refuse, and 584a5b4cc7 luckily, he didn’t c8645d6148 insist twice. Instead, he 8589a209b2 opened the 29aa7925af passenger side 849909e5da door and 01fb5a42ca teasingly asked acf08bbab5 if I’d 96449dc08b really never 185c594345 been on acf0b50d82 a date.ab35743ad5c40dee

If I said no, fafff4a8ec he’d probably tease me, 0994f8a5ad and if I said c45e668072 yes, he’d be sure 1d98c928e4 to dig into the 6e4aa836a7 details. I shrugged off 987d0a2b33 the arm he a6de0b4d7b had been holding a8509fd895 onto and replied 723a4c4ab4 indifferently. 4c3bbda265e839c4
His expression 6004b2bcf5 quickly turned a27af0c750 cold. Honestly, it wasn’t easy 2c6f6c83fe dealing with a madman.54c659fb89e8e331

It wasn’t 692583af78 the fact e5c2039986 that I 1b4be0a012 shrugged off 75b9d5023a his arm 488b410a3e that was 853549c64b the issue. I definitely felt 73bbd2bc20 he was grasping 9221acc898 at strange excuses, a3aaf17836 but his expression 9c5ef60d8d was so serious ab0beeba5d that I had 562f3a6635 to smile submissively 88149122d6 again.0e8286df5a9705d2

But his interpretation was 9fd2fc8a81 quite creative.

On a smaller scale, 85c6c5a3e0 it was about the edd0e033ad frustration of having to 5d50688ea4 endure the attention while 1d62aafdb9 being tethered to him. On a larger a1695cfef6 scale, it was f59f39bd8e about why he ddce14f92f was tormenting me 45b9b2c80f like this.7ddbea079c85a9a9

As I was ce1001dcd5 about to fasten 1b829fb496 my seatbelt, he 417a234415 turned to look 145bb51d2a at me and 14db12e530 raised the corners 3980d0e9c6 of his mouth. Then, he offered an a9f00eddb1 unnecessary kindness. Ignoring his own seatbelt, 8fafb0e42a he leaned toward the c6813c4916 passenger side and slowly 6010ac7fde tugged at mine.77cffaf53bcd5f2f

The lazy voice baece2e38b and breath in 024587e986 my ear made fac96e6324 me flinch and 6af0b46bed shrink my shoulders 52b85dc697 for a moment.

Unlike when 25988341e6 he came 8698bc98a9 close, he feca760351 slowly straightened bb0d990ce7 his back 09d2f8cbdd and returned 9b0b0ec1cf to the 1c1ebee474 driver’s seat, 127332981b licking the a884fa52aa corner of 7fda1982df his mouth 4b08476ffa with his 809d37d1c4 tongue. 314183666c1b15f6

I don’t know much, and I didn’t want to know either. It just felt like a weird, uncomfortable feeling, like a lunchbox being saved for later. I turned my gaze away from between his legs and nodded vigorously. 6fe47444a73964fb
