Chapter 253

"Who said that?"

"Who do you think? Either way, I'm not doing it! There's no way I'm wearing the same thing as you..."

Sylvia felt a tug on the tie around her wrist, causing her to stumble forward.

Rupert pulled her in for a kiss.

She could never say anything nice.

Sylvia resisted with all her might, and in the struggle, she felt a chill on her wrist as the watch clasped shut.

Moments later, Rupert removed the tie from her wrist and led her out of the car.

Sylvia used her free hand to try and take off the watch.

Rupert gave the tie in his hand a squeeze. "You take it off, and you're staying here."

Sylvia cursed him silently for being a madman.

But she knew all too well, he'd do anything.

With a sigh of resignation, she let her hand fall and followed him.

Rupert led her into a nearby restaurant. They must have had a reservation because the manager, seeing Rupert, promptly escorted them to their pre- reserved table.

The manager stood by the table cautiously. "Mr. Rupert, the usual?"

Rupert nodded. "Add a serving of clam chowder."

"Of course."

The food arrived promptly.

Sylvia, not one to stand on ceremony, picked up her spoon and started eating.
