I looked at him incredulously. "I'm not such a despicable person!"
I put down the sandwich in my hand, asking back angrily. "Am I such a person in your eyes, Hale?"
I used all my strength to call his full name, which was also the first time.
My eyes suddenly got sore, and I was about to cry.
Unexpectedly, he immediately walked to me, stammering, "I'm sorry. I misunderstood you. I went insane just now! I apologize. Forgive me!"
He squatted down to take my hand and added, "Miss Garcia, I'm terrified of you. Are you my boss?"
What was wrong with me? I had never shed a tear before. Why was I so fragile now?
I took my leave after the meal. Getting out of the villa, I began to run. When I looked back, Mr. Cotton was gazing at me through the window on the second floor. The black hoodie accentuated his fair face.
He waved at me, mouthing, "Goodbye."
I stopped a taxi on the road.
I turned on my phone inside the vehicle and blocked the number that had always been at the top.
