I pushed him out the door and into the elevator. Then, I pressed the button for the first floor and said, “Stop with the nonsense, or I’ll get a courier to ship you abroad.”
“You’re so cruel. Aren’t you going to give me a goodbye kiss before I leave? I…” His sentence was left hanging as I pressed my lips to his.
I kissed him the way he had kissed me—passionately and domineering. When he wanted to kiss me back, I took a few steps and exited the elevator. Just as Christopher was about to reach out to pull me back into the elevator, the elevator doors began to close. Before the doors were completely shut, I stuck out my tongue at him and smiled cheekily.
Christopher gritted his teeth in exasperation and annoyance. Right before the doors shut, I saw him raised his hands and made a gesture of grabbing my bosoms.
I understood what he meant. He was telling me that when we reunite later, he was going to ravage me and cover my fair body with red love marks. Hence, the nickname red bunny.
“You used to call me a little calf. And now I’ve turned into a red bunny,” I muttered to myself.
“Both of you are so sweet and loving to each other. Just watching the two of you fills me with envy. Not to mention he’s so handsome.” A middle-aged woman, who had been watching us a few feet away, spoke to me with a kind smile.
Feeling rather embarrassed, I quickly waved my hand and said, “You’ve got it wrong. He’s not my husband.”
“He must be your boyfriend then. I’m a good judge of character, and I can tell that he’ll be your husband in the future.” The woman patted me on the shoulder and continued earnestly, “But next time, do keep it down a little at night. My granddaughter kept questioning me last night about a cat meowing away. I lied to her saying that it’s just some cats fighting. She then told me she wanted to get up to look for the stray cat and give it a home. I can’t go on lying to her now, can I?”
Seeing that, I had the urge to storm over, plop myself down on Christopher’s lap, and sneer at Crystal before telling her to keep her hands off my man. But I kept myself in check because I was curious about their conversation.
Moon Village Restaurant was an Oriental restaurant, and they were renowned for their breakfast that was made by chefs from all over the country. Thanks to Sharon, I was able to patron this restaurant twice.
I pretended to look for a table and inched my way toward them. Just when I was halfway there, Christopher turned and looked in my direction. I quickly grabbed a menu on the table and used it to shield my face. After a while, I waited for him to turn away before starting toward them.
When Christopher turned in my direction again, our eyes met. When I saw that he had spotted me, I quickly turned and ran out of the restaurant. With my heart thumping, I stopped at the entrance and looked back. Surprisingly, Christopher didn’t come after me, in fact, he was still looking in the direction where he spotted me. I followed his gaze and saw that there was a painting on the wall. I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I realized that he had been staring at the painting instead of me.
