Chapter 36 Public Apology

Upon hearing these words, the already tense atmosphere in the classroom seemed to cool down slightly.

The first person to react was Milly. Her eyes widened in disbelief at his audacity to say such a thing in front of everyone.

Without hesitation, she grabbed the book from the table and hurled it at him. “What are you saying?!”

George smoothly caught the flying book. Instead of getting angry, he smiled indulgently and spoke in a half–coaxing, half–teasing tone, “Okay, I’ll listen to you. If you don’t want me to say anything, I won’t.”

Milly was so furious that she felt the urge to slap him.

What was with his tone? What did he mean by “listening to me? What did he mean by not speaking if I didn’t want him to? The more she listened, the more it sounded like he was teasing her in a flirtatious

manner.

After glaring fiercely at George, she turned to Leon and explained, “Ignore his nonsense. I have no connection with him whatsoever. If we must have a relationship, then he is my enemy!”

The last words were practically gritted through her teeth.

I really don’t understand how these CEOs nowadays are taking this kind of clingy and annoying approach. Shouldn’t they be following the route of “if you don’t marry me, I’ll threaten the lives of your entire family, then block the entire city so you can’t find a job“? Isn’t that the right way to go?

If it were indeed the case, it would be easy to handle. I would make sure he regretted ever crossing paths, with me, using my fists to teach him the true meaning of life!

But if not… I don’t know where to start.

It was true what they said. A good woman feared a persistent man.
