Xyla struggled to get herself out of Yorrick’s arms but to no avail. She raised her head to look at him and
asked, “When you said you’re going to put me on the blacklist, you were lying, right?”
Yorrick narrowed his eyes. “Yet you still fell for it.”
‘My dad is right!
She gnashed her teeth and asked again,” So, that means you’re toying with me?”
Yorrick secured her tightly in his arms and leaned in closer. There was a smirk tugging at the corner of
his lips as he said,” I thought you’re a smart woman, but it seems like I’m wrong. You’re just as naive as
other people.” Xyla took a deep breath to calm herself down. “Do you think this is fun?” Yorrick looked at
her, but he did not say anything. “I’m sure you have a lot of fun fooling me around like a monkey, right,
Yorrick? You said you don’t want to get too involved in a relationship, so I went along with you. You have
so many women by your side, so why can’t you just let me go?”
Xyla couldn’t hold herself anymore and cried. She lowered her head, and her chest was huffing up and
down rapidly. In the next second, she calmed herself down and forced her tears back into her eyes.
“That’s it. I’m out of this.”
Just when she turned around and was about to leave, Yorrick grabbed her into his arms once again. He
cupped her chin with his finger and said, “You’re out? If you don’t want to do this with me, why do you
want to approach me?”
Her chest began to heave up and down heavily again. “I approached you? You were the one who
approached me first!”
“Yeah, you’re right.” Yorrick laughed. He clamped his hand on her face even tighter and forced her to
raise her head. “I was the one who approached you, but who was the one that came to me when I
wanted to end your deal?”
She was stumped, and her heart stopped beating for a moment.
Yorrick leaned closer, tickling her face with his hot breath. “You were the one who came and talked to me
when I decided to end our deal. Xyla, I’ve given you a chance to get out of this, but you were the one
who threw the chance away.” She froze in his arms, and it took her a while before she parted her lips and
mumbled, “I just wanted to get an explanation…”
“An explanation for what? Do you think I don’t know what you want? You want to do this to me as well,
aren’t you?” Yorrick smiled coldly. “If not, why didn’t you say no when I was sleeping with you? Are you
sure you don’t have a thing for-” Xyla gave him a huge slap across his face, causing his head to turn
sideways and a red welt to appear on his cheek. She expressionlessly picked up her suitcase and
walked out of the house. Yorrick ran his finger over the burning hot red welt on his cheek, his expression
turning grim with every passing second.
Xyla did not see Yorrick again for ten days after returning to Bassburgh from the Persian Gulf. She
changed her phone number and postponed various advertising endorsements and variety show
invitations. She even withdrew from her upscale apartment.
The scandals about her and Yorrick on the Internet were disappearing one by one, and no one would be
talking about it anymore once they lost interest in it.
When she was packing her stuff, Mindy called her. “Xy, you haven’t been taking any jobs for the past 10
days. You’re not going to quit, right?”
“Don’t worry,” she replied faintly. “I just want to take a long break.”
Mindy asked, “Where are you going then?”
She was stunned for a moment before putting her phone aside and switching on the loudspeaker. As she
folded her clothes, she said, “I’m going to travel. Alright. I still have other things to do. so I’m hanging up.”
Xyla then hung up the call.
She did not tell Mindy where she was going because she was worried that Mindy would accidentally tell
other people about her whereabouts. There was someone that she did not want to see again in her life.
However, the heavens played a joke on her.
Xyla was taking a nap on the airplane, and by the time she woke up, she was startled when she saw
Yorrick was sitting next to her.
Yorrick was reading a magazine, and it seemed like he did not notice her. Xyla covered her face with her
mask, and although she
had been wearing sunglasses throughout the entire flight, she remembered that the one sitting beside
her had been a rich lady.
She shifted her position, leaned closer to the window, and pretended to be asleep.
