Ethan Thompson's face revealed a hint of sneer as he placed his hand on Astrid Green's waist and caressed it wantonly. "You have satisfied me, accompany me for three months!"
His words caught Astrid Green off guard. The bright smile on her face froze, and her lips trembled with anger.
"I paid off the debt I owed you three years ago that night. Why do you have the right to demand that I accompany you for three months?"
"I told you, I'm petty. You owe me once, and I want you to repay me a hundred or a thousand times. Besides, you stole my mother's bracelet. I haven't settled that score with you yet!"
How could Ethan Thompson easily let go of this little demon in front of him? But three months should be enough for him to get tired of her.
Astrid Green was stunned when she heard Ethan Thompson accuse her of stealing the bracelet. Then her face turned red with anger, and she protested, "When did I steal your mother's bracelet? Don't slander me!"
She admitted to tricking him, but she would never steal anything.
Ethan Thompson frowned when he saw her agitated expression. "Three years ago, you stole the bracelet from my room before you ran away."
"I didn't steal it, Ethan Thompson. You can do whatever you want to get back at me, but you can't accuse me of being a thief."
Astrid Green's chest heaved violently. Being accused of being a thief was unbearable, and she was about to explode with anger.
Ethan Thompson looked at the woman in front of him with her enchanting fox eyes. At this moment, her eyes were crystal clear and shining with anger. Her fiery appearance made his heart skip a beat. He deepened his gaze and pinched her chin, then lowered his head and covered her small mouth with his lips.
Feeling the touch on her lips, Astrid Green's narrow eyes widened. This man must be crazy! They were in the middle of an argument and he suddenly kissed her without a word.
She angrily pinched the man's thin waist with her hand, and only then did his lips leave hers.
"Explain the bracelet incident first. I didn't do anything wrong. Even if you call the police, I'm not afraid," Astrid Green said as she took out her phone to make the call.
Ethan Thompson's eyes flickered slightly realising Ava Moreno might have deceived him making him believe Astrid Green stole the bracelet and fled.
But he wasn't going to let her go, Ethan Thompson took a deep glance at Astrid Green and reached out and held her hand, saying in a deep voice, Of course I will investigate thoroughly, but until I find my mother's bracelet you are still stuck with me!
And as for Ava Moreno, he will definitely get back to her he was sure she had something to do with the missing bracelet.
Astrid Green's eyes turned red feeling very wronged. She looked at him with anger, what does his missing bracelet have to do with her!
"I'll investigate the bracelet incident thoroughly," Ethan Thompson said.
Seeing the pained expression on Astrid Green's face and the tears in her eyes, Ethan Thompson inexplicably pulled her into his arms.
Astrid pushed him away, but couldn't break free and gave up. "You go investigate. I'm not afraid."
" Ethan Thompson, I agree to accompany you for three months, but I have a condition. Help me find my grandmother's whereabouts," said Astrid Green.
Astrid Green knew she was no match for Ethan Thompson.
Since he was interested in her and wanted her to accompany him for three months, she would maximize her benefits. It would be a fair trade.
Although she agreed, Ethan Thompson's face looked a bit unpleasant. He stared at her for several seconds before finally uttering a "good" word.
Deal done!
The car stopped at the emergency room entrance. Ethan Thompson opened the door and carried Astrid Green out, walking quickly into the emergency room.
The nurse thought Astrid Green's condition was serious and hurriedly pushed a stretcher. Astrid Green too embarrassed to lie down, holding the man's neck tightly and not letting go.
"I'll carry her in."
Ethan Thompson did not put her down and carried her directly into the doctor's office.
The doctor first disinfected Astrid Green's foot injury with iodine. When the iodine was poured on the wound, it stimulated her and she shuddered, subconsciously leaning towards the person beside her. Ethan Thompson also hugged her shoulder and his voice became a bit gentler, "It will be better soon."
The wound was not deep, and the doctor did not stitch it up. After applying medicine, he wrapped it up with gauze and advised her not to get it wet for the next few days.
To be honest he was really surprised, it was just a small cut and they insisted he a doctor treat it. When did it become his turn to treat such wound.
But he could not speak after all the hospital still depended on the Thompson Group donations every year. He took a glance at the " already guaze injury" and left the ward.
When they left the emergency room, Ethan Thompson was still carrying Astrid. Just as they got into the car, Astrid Green's phone rang. She answered it and heard Emily's crying voice, "Astrid, where are you?"
"Emily, I'm at the hospital..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it. This would definitely scare her friend.
Sure enough, the voice on the other end became more anxious: "Are you injured? Where are you hurt? Is it serious?"
"It's just a small wound on my ankle, probably from being scratched by broken glass. I don't even need stitches, just a bandage. I was brought out of the bar by an acquaintance earlier, and when he saw that I was injured, he brought me to the hospital. Don't worry."
"By the way, are you okay? Where are you now...?"
The last "ah" in Astrid Green's sentence changed in tone, her eyes slanted slightly, with a hint of embarrassment and anger, she glared at the man next to her and pulled his big hand off her body
"You keep talking."
Ethan Thompson's lips covered the woman's ear bone, his voice hoarse.
Astrid Green rolled her eyes.
On the phone, Emily was talking about her situation, saying that the police had arrived and were preparing to take a statement. Her injured friend had already been taken away by the ambulance, and so on.
But Astrid Green didn't really listen.
"Astrid, I have to take a statement now, so I'll talk to you later. I might be back late tonight, so you don't have to wait for me. Bye!"
"Bye... um..."
At the moment the soft moan was heard, Astrid Green ended the call.
In the dim back seat, Astrid Green leaned against the man's body, her eyelashes trembling slightly, the corners of her eyes stained with a seductive red. She slightly opened her red lips, and every breath she exhaled was scorching hot.
Half an hour later, Ethan Thompson brought Astrid Green to the presidential suite of the hotel.
"You need to exercise more in the future."
Upon hearing the man's words, Astrid Green became angry and grabbed the pillow above her head, throwing it at the handsome face of the man. The hit was accurate, but Ethan Thompson didn't show any annoyance, and instead, there was a hint of playfulness on his handsome face.
Astrid Green got up and was about to leave the bed.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to take a shower. I'm all sweaty."
She had sweated a lot in the car just now.
Ethan Thompson frowned, "You have a wound on your foot, you can't touch water. Don't take a shower today."
"Just don't get it wet."
Astrid Green walked towards the bathroom without looking back.
But before she took a few steps, she was lifted off the ground. She turned her head to see Ethan Thompson, her beautiful eyes slightly widened.
Are you addicted to carrying people? she couldn't help but speak.
