Chapter 190 Action Speaks Louder than Words
“Are you okay? You’re so slow!”
Scarlett hastened her movements and replied.
“I’ve finished!”
Scarlett placed a bowl of noodles in front of Mike and sat opposite him.
Mike’s nose moved and his eyes narrowed slightly. He instantly looked at Scarlett’s bowl.
Scarlett moved a little guiltily.
The appearances of the two bowls of noodles were the same.
Mike reached out and put her noodles in front of him. He turned the noodles over with his chopsticks.
“What is this?”
His stern tone made Scarlett shrink her neck. It was discovered!
“Judging from its appearance and color, it is a spicy meat sauce. Mike, what is your nose made of?”
It was inconceivable.
Scarlett had only put a little spicy meat sauce into the noodles, but Mike could smell it!
Mike snorted and left the noodles with spicy meat sauce to him, pushing his noodles to Scarlett.
Scarlett was a little unwilling. She had not eaten spicy food for a long time!
“Why are you so silly all day long? Hurry up and eat!” Mike glared at Scarlett.
“Well. Mike, don’t you suffer from an upset stomach? That’s very spicy, why don’t you…”
Scarlett swallowed her saliva. Why didn’t Mike let her enjoy the noodles with spicy meat sauce?
Mike picked up his chopsticks and pointed them at her head. Scarlett did not dare to cause any more trouble and continued to eat noodles with grievance.
“I indeed suffer from an upset stomach. Do you not suffer from an upset stomach? I told you not to eat spicy food!”
Mike mixed the noodles with spicy meat sauce evenly, picked some noodles, placed them into his mouth, and took a bite. It was indeed very spicy.
He glared at Scarlett again. Scarlett had to forget about the painful experience. Did she forget that she was hospitalized for eating spicy food?
Scarlett accepted her fate and ate her noodles. She always felt that something was different about Mike.
They had a fierce argument just now.
He also tied her up.
According to the usual practice, if she didn’t admit her mistake, Mike would not let her go.
However, Mike let her go and did not continue to force her to promise anything. Instead, he only seemed to comfort her.
Then, he asked her to cook noodles.
“You don’t want to quarrel with me?”
“You still want to continue arguing?” Mike put down his chopsticks and looked at Scarlett meaningfully.
“No, it’s just a little strange. You’re so proud and awkward…”
Mike glared at her. Scarlett immediately changed her words and put on a fawning face.
“I mean, with your personality and your principles, how could you suddenly give up on the dispute?”
The man with personality and principles snorted.
“I’m 185 cm tall, and you’re 165 cm tall. I’m the one who’s taller than you even if I make a compromise!”
The corner of Scarlett’s mouth twitched.
Forget it. She didn’t want to protest against him.
It was not easy for such a proud man to take a step back. She should not ask too much.
Scarlett picked up a meatball in the bowl and prepared to put it in his bowl to show goodwill.
“I suspect that you are a little wildcat mixed your blood with a Corgi. Yes, that’s why your legs are so short.”
Scarlett turned her hand back and did not let Mike eat the meatball!
Mike was a bad guy who casually gave her nicknames.
What the hell was a Corgi?
After starving for two meals, Mike finally returned to the company with his stomach completely full, satisfied with the return of Scarlett.
He also took Scarlett away.
Mike no longer forced her Scarlett promise but carried her around him to prevent her from fighting.
In his opinion, he had already taken a step back.
Scarlett had not discovered his scheme yet, so she stayed in his lounge and chatted with Miffy for a while with her phone.
Miffy had already returned home. It was said that her body was fine. Scarlett originally wanted to look for her, but Miffy rejected her.
Scarlett asked casually.
“Miffy, what is a Corgi?”
Two minutes later, Scarlett was furious.
Miffy sent a picture on Line.
It was a picture of a dog with short legs, looking at Scarlett innocently.
Scarlett thought Mike was hateful!
Scarlett couldn’t bear it any longer. She stood up and pushed open the door with a bang. She let out a loud roar.
“Mike, you explain to me…”
Scarlett paused before she finished speaking. In Mike’s office, there was another man besides Mike.
The private detective standing in front of Mike was startled by Scarlett.
Scarlett did not expect that there would be someone else. Her shrewish appearance had been exposed. Scarlett felt so embarrassed.
Mike had long been used to her skillful acting in front of people, and showing her claws to him.
He waved his hand calmly, signaling the private detective to leave.
“Tell me, what do you want to say?” Mike put his hands together in the shape of a tower.
Looking at Scarlett’s embarrassed look, Mike laughed, “Weren’t you very noisy just now? Did the cat get your tongue?”
“What? Who knows that there is another person here?” Scarlett stuck out her tongue. Why was she so angry just now?
Corgi!
Scarlett angrily handed the phone to Mike and asked aggressively, “What is this?”
Mike glanced at the phone but didn’t reply to Scarlett.
He glanced at Scarlett’s legs, then at the screen, and shook his head.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
At this time, actions spoke louder than words.
Scarlett slammed her phone on the table and pointed at Mike angrily.
“Mike, don’t go too far!”
“Did I say anything?” Mike picked up the document the detective had left on the table.
However, he was stopped by Scarlett.
Scarlett reached out and put the document on the table, and looked like she was unwilling to let Mike off.
“Apologize to me!”
Scarlett thought Mike went too far to say that she had short legs like the dog with the shortest legs!
“All the apologies spoken are insincere.”
Mike put down the document and calmly undid his cufflinks before standing up.
He looked down at Scarlett from above.
Scarlett instinctively felt fear as she took a step back.
She was asking him for an explanation. How did she suddenly become vulnerable?
“So, what do you want?” Scarlett continued taking a step back.
This was the advantage of being tall and strong. It could constantly make people feel a sense of oppression.
“So, I plan to use my actions to express my sincerity.”
That was not good!
Scarlett turned and wanted to run, but because of the height of her shoes, she accidentally sprained her ankle and instantly fell into his arms!
Mike took the opportunity to catch her and teased her.
“Looks like you agree with my sincerity and take the initiative to throw yourself into my arms?”
“Who took the initiative?” Scarlett punched Mike angrily and Mike immediately held her fist.
Mike picked Scarlett up by the waist and closed the door of the lounge.
Vaguely, such a conversation came from inside the lounge.
“Mike! Is your actions expression taking off my clothes?”
“Yes.”
“Get lost!”
The voice inside the lounge became more ambiguous.
After a long time, Mike was satisfied. He got up and pulled the thin quilt on Scarlett, who had fallen asleep because of exhaustion.
Mike put his hand on Scarlett’s abdomen for a while before he smiled.
It was because Scarlett had short legs that he wanted to neutralize his excellent genes with her. Was his action not enough?
