Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

Chapter 3: Did You Miss Me?

"Why does my name sound so seductive from your lips?"

I accidentally returned my gaze to him and saw that he was just staring at me while biting his lower lip.

"You're just hungry," I answered nonchalantly.

It's not like I wanted to go along with his dirty remark earlier, and it wasn't like I wanted to start a conversation with him.

I also don't know why I'm still here, even though I should have walked away as soon as I found out he was here.

He just smirked at me before playing with the cigarette in his right hand, fondling with the silence. It's been a while since we conversed-if it could be counted as one-but what I noticed was that we're both maintaining a safe distance from each other.

No one attempted to come closer, and I like it that way. His presence scares me. Who wouldn't be if he had the power to manipulate me and ruin my entire life in a second?

"That's rude," I scolded him when he started to lower his gaze to my legs, which are very exposed right now because I'm just wearing dolphin shorts.

"What's exactly the rude thing, Miss Secretary?" he asked before taking another drag on his cigarette and tossing it onto the grass. "I am just admiring the view. If it's rude to admire good scenery, then should I file a case against those women who stare at me every time I walk towards the school?"

"Well, it's rude to stare if there's no permission, and..." I trailed off.

There were so many things I wanted to say, like how rude he was for not even apologizing for his perverted gaze earlier in school, and how he threw the cigarette on the floor, but I decided to shut up and let the thoughts run only in my head. "And?" Ash asked, raising an eyebrow.
