Derek dared to hold her wrist!
Lucy was about to hit his side face in anger. "I have a headache." He said in a lazy tone.
It was Derek!
"Let go."
Hearing his voice, Lucy withdrew her fist in time after recognizing that it was Derek, but she still urged him unhappily, "Let go of my hand, or I'll beat you!"
Although with a ferocious tone, she was much gentler than before.
Gary and Alan couldn't believe what they were hearing.
Lucy didn't hit him, instead, she kindly reminded him.
"Is it because Derek and Christina are familiar?"
They couldn't figure it out after racing their minds.
"But when Patrick pissed Lucy off in the past, Lucy would get awful mad at him."
Although she couldn't beat Patrick, Lucy still couldn't control herself.
"My head ached."
Derek sat in a dining chair with his head lowered. Under the dim light, his fair and handsome face with a painful expression could be seen.
He held Lucy's wrist tightly instinctively, which could seemingly alleviate his pain.
Lucy tried hard to pull her hand back.
She had fought with Derek a few times before. Although he was lean, he was actually not easy to be caught.
"I'll help you, I'll help you!"
Lucy roared, in a despairing and helpless voice. "I'll help you. Let go..."
It seemed that her voice had brought Derek, who had a splitting headache, back to his senses. Then he turned to look at her slowly.
Derek had a good look, and his blue eyes were even more alluring.
Originally, he had been born with evil charm, but at this moment, he looked a little dazed, as if he had just woken up, even spoke very slowly.
"OK." He answered lazily.
Lucy, who was easy to be furious, could only hold back all her anger.
The moment Derek let go of her hand, Lucy immediately pulled it back. With a bitter face, she shook her swollen wrist.
She cursed inside.
Keeping her word had never been her creed, so when she withdrew her hand, her first thought was to go back on her word.
However, Derek was not easy to be fooled.
He kept looking at Lucy with his blue eyes. Without saying anything, he was waiting.
He was waiting for her to solve the problem.
Lucy was trying to escape while meeting Derek's innocent gaze.
She felt a little guilty.
Shit!
She cursed inside again.
Lucy had become more and more kindhearted in the past year. Moreover, he was so handsome with ignorant eyes.
If it were any other man, she would definitely sweep her hand over his face. But it was Derek, who was always like this.
He was the real god of wealth.
However, they worked long hours, earning less than him.
Shit!
They cursed at the same time.
"Are you feeling well?" Lucy was no more patient.
She was sure that if she didn't say anything, Derek would keep it. About a year and a half ago, she fought with Derek once. He was not in a good mental state at that time. Lucy thought she had succeeded.
In the end, she didn't know how he grabbed her wrist. Derek didn't threaten her at all, but Lucy understood that if she didn't help him deal with the headache, he won't let her go.
Derek fell asleep.
Lucy massaged his acupuncture points, and her fingers were numb. She turned her head and glared at him angrily, only to find Derek fell asleep, leaning against the back of the long chair.
She was about to lose her temper when she saw his beautiful sleeping face. He looked elegant with good features when he fell asleep, breathing lightly.
Lucy was furious. But she couldn't do anything to him.
She let go of his hand and Derek's head drooped sideways. He slept very soundly. With a thud, he hit his forehead on the dining table without any response, as if he had not slept for a long time.
Lucy was not in the mood to feel sorry for that. Her wrist was bruised!
She had to ask for money from Christina.
Gary and Alan behind her looked at her sneakily. Lucy turned her head and glanced around coldly. They immediately paused and did not dare to say anything more.
Luck poked her head and found Christina, who was at the booth. Lucy went to ask her for money without hesitation.
As soon as she lifted her foot, she hesitated for half a step and looked back sideways.
Derek seemed to get defensive. He lay on the table, his head resting on his arms, and slept peacefully.
