Too Late, Mr. Billionaire: You Can't Afford Me by Thedora Birnir

Chapter 204

Chapter 204 Need To Be The Most Important Pers…

What kind of nonsense was that?

Hadley and Eric were no longer together. But now he was making promises?

The most bewildering aspect for Hadley was why Eric seemed so determined to cling to her.

She tried to unravel the mystery. “Do you think I’m a puppet on a string?” she asked.

“A puppet on a string?” Eric chuckled, his laughter echoing absurdly.

It was utterly ridiculous!

Hadley rolled her eyes. “I can’t stand Linda, yet here you are, pushing to stay with me. That means I’ll keep bumping into her, we’ll keep butting heads, and who knows, we might end up like we did on set–getting physical!“.

She genuinely didn’t understand. “Isn’t that bothering you?”

Wasn’t dating supposed to be a joyride?

Why would anyone willingly dive into a relationship rife with constant conflict? Was Eric out of his mind, or did he somehow relish in the chaos?

Eric smirked, raising an eyebrow. “What, feeling sorry for me?”

Hadley actually felt a mix of annoyance and disbelief.

“Same old song and dance,” Eric said, his lips curling into a teasing smile. “If you want to call the shots or feel pity for me, you’d first have to be my girlfriend. Right now, we’re not exactly in a relationship, so this isn’t exactly appropriate.”

Hadley inhaled deeply, her fists tightening

Did he really think she was play hard–to–get or something?

Elissa was still in custody, waiting for someone to step in!

Overwhelmed by urgency and anger, Hadley shot Eric a fierce glare “Mr. Flynn, do you really believe ordinary lives can be so carelessly manipulated?”

tric paused, let out a heavy sigh, and lowered his gaze.

“Who’s truly holding the reins here? With just a word, you can alter both my fate and your friend’s. If anyone’s being manipulated, it’s me by you”
