Tanya, who stood by the side, did not know whether to laugh or cry. Seriously, what was Fane thinking? He was just a bodyguard, yet he walked side by side with them. He even walked between them. No wonder everyone misunderstood.
She now seriously suspected that Fane did not do it intentionally.
After Yvonne finished her yelling, she whipped her head around and rolled her eyes at Fane. “Why are you walking between us, you brat? You walk behind us—don’t you know that?”
Fane flashed an awkward smile. “I’m just scared of being accused of looking at your asses if I walk behind you. Besides, your skirt is a little short today. It wouldn’t do for me to walk behind!”
Yvonne’s face suddenly flushed red. She was so angry that she grinded her teeth. She had the inexplicable urge to lunge forward and strangle that b*stard to death.
“What’s wrong? Weren’t you the one who told me to call him and get him to accompany us as we shop, Yvonne? Are you regretting it now?”
Tanya snickered from the side. “What are you afraid of? You don’t have to be afraid if you’re not doing anything wrong.”
After she said that, she slipped one of her arms through Fane’s. “We’re not afraid of being misunderstood,” she said. “If someone’s wife catches sight of this, however, how on earth would he explain all of this to her?”
Yvonne’s eyes brightened when she heard that. She felt embarrassed, but she took Fane’s other arm anyway. “That’s right. Let’s go and shop. Fane, what will you do if we run into someone you know, and that person tells your wife about this?”
“D–don’t. I was wrong, okay? Please, young misses, forgive me. I’ll walk behind you, or by your side. How about that?”
Fane quickly admitted defeat. He could never imagine the day that two beauties would be sidling toward him on both his left and right. Besides, Fiona enjoyed shopping. If he did run into her, he would never be able to cleanse himself of his sins even if he bathed in holy water.
Yet Tanya and Yvonne grew even more excited when they saw that Fane was afraid. Not only did they refuse to let go of Fane, but they also tightened their grip on him and continued walking forward.
“Heh. Now you’re scared? Too late!”
After he said that, he turned his attention to Yvonne. “You’re such a lucky b*stard,” he said to Fane. “You’re only a bodyguard, but you’re able to find two such beautiful women to accompany you. Tsk tsk, I’m envious!”
“Who’s this, Tanya? He has a lot of bodyguards, but I’ve never seen him before!”
Yvonne noticed that there were over twenty bodyguards behind the man. Her pulse began to rise in fear. They only brought Fane out, after all. They did not know if Fane was able to overcome all those men if they fought.
“I’ve never seen him before either. I think he’s an aristocrat from Lone City. Don’t mind him. He looks down on everyone just because he has some money. He’d probably be scared out of his wits once he knows who we are!”
Tanya chuckled, evidently not giving two hoots about Flynn.
“Okay!”
