Chapter 28

"Oh yeah? You're really confident, aren't you? You should be a little aware of who you are now?"

"What? You want to use the roles of rich and poor again, I see? Oh my God! You really haven't changed, huh? You're still very childish as before. You want to say that now you're the CEO of a cruise ship company, right?" super-duper rich mining and property, don't you think? You want to look down on me like that again? Oh my God, you're really embarrassing!"

"Hahaha...keep babbling, you crazy woman! You think I don't use my brain like you? I don't need to say sentences that everyone already knows without me having to say them. Now, look at my car which was scratched by your tornado kick!" Henry said while pointing to the front of his car which was slightly scratched by Ruby's kick.

Ruby, who didn't know what problem she was facing, only glanced at the small scratch on the car which, at first glance, wasn't very visible.

"What happened to your car?"

"You kicked it and the toe of your shoe scratched it. Do you know how much this car is worth?"

"How many?"

"You work 12 hours a day for the rest of your life and still won't be able to afford it. And now that the car is scratched, I think you should know what to do?" Henry showed signals that made Ruby start to feel a frightening atmosphere.

Henry grinned just like a villain in an action movie. She shuddered, she had a very bad feeling.

"I want you to pay for the repair costs for this car!"

"What? Paying for repairs? You're crazy, aren't you?"

"You know if the surface of this car gets scratched, it will be a very big problem. Especially for a car worth 10 million dollars!"

"What? 10 million dollars? Are you kidding me?" Ruby was very shocked to hear the price of the car that she had kicked so heartlessly.

Cold sweat poured down his body. 10 million dollars, as Henry said. If he worked all his life he still wouldn't be able to buy a car worth 10 million dollars.

"As for repair costs, how much do you have to pay?" She asked in a trembling voice.

"It's not expensive, I think you can afford it. Only 100 thousand dollars!"

"100 thousand dollars? You said it wasn't expensive? You're really crazy, aren't you?"

"Hahaha...why? At least there's a chance you can still afford it, right?" Henry laughed as if enjoying this fun. Seeing Ruby's pale face made him even more excited.

She fell silent, she didn't expect that the problem she was facing would be this serious. Not having lived in this city for a month, he had to pay compensation of 100 thousand dollars.

"W-what if I can't pay it?" he asked nervously.

"Can't afford it? Hmm...how about that? I don't want to know. You have to pay for the repair costs of this car somehow!"

"But I don't have that kind of money! Can't you help me?"

"Why should I help you? Who do you think you are?"

"So what should I do? I really don't have any money!"

"Don't worry! I know how you can pay compensation!"

"H-how?"

"You can pay with your body!"

Henry felt his heart beating very fast as their eyes stared at each other for several seconds, until finally his face turned red because he couldn't hold back the embarrassment.

Bruuukkk...

"Agh...damn!" He grimaced in pain. A punch landed straight on his stomach.

"Fuck! What do you mean I have to pay with my body, huh? Insolent...!" Ruby, who was annoyed, thought that she should teach Henry a lesson.

"It hurts...! What are you thinking? That's not what I meant!"

"Then what?"

"You have to work with me!"

"What? Working with you? What does that mean?"

"I want you to be my personal secretary!"

"Secretary, what do you mean is that I have to work at your company and go wherever you go, isn't that right?"

"Exactly right!"

"I don't want to!"

"What? How dare you refuse it? How many people do you think would want that job? Whereas you, without knowing it, turned it down!"

"Why don't you just give it to someone who really wants the job?"

"Tch, fine, it's up to you! I've given you the opportunity so you can pay for the repair costs for my car. But it turns out you refused! OK, you'd better think from now on how to pay for the costs of repairing this car!"

Lila fell silent, now she really felt that this world was very unfair to poor people like her.

"Oh my God, what should I do?"

"Why? Don't tell me you're confused about how to pay for it, right? I knew it! Arrogant poor people really disgust me the most!"

"Hey, the most disgusting thing is people like you!"

"You can still talk, right? Never mind, I'll wait until next week. I don't want to know!" Henry increasingly showed his power. He knew that if it was about money and power, Lila wouldn't be able to beat him. Now he is just waiting for time until luck is on his side.

Meanwhile, Lila, who was in front of him, began to surrender while thinking hard. He really didn't want to work with Henry. He knew that Henry would take the opportunity to get revenge on him and now it seemed he was the loser here.

"Give me time!" He said nervously.

"What? Time? For what?"

"I will try to get money to pay for the costs of repairing your scratched car. Even though I know that small scratches like this don't need to be exaggerated. However, I will still take responsibility!"

"What? Small scratches you say? Hey, someone like you really won't know the value of luxury goods. It's no use explaining it to you, there's no point! Fine, I'll wait until next week. If you don't want to pay for it, whether you like it or not you have to worked with me without pay for six months!" He said as he opened his car door and got in with a feeling of satisfaction that he couldn't express in words.

Meanwhile, Lila actually felt very weak. He didn't know why something like this had to happen to him. The feeling of having to get into a car that cost him that much money made him feel annoyed. This car wasn't even his and he had to work hard for something that wasn't his.

During the journey, Henry kept glancing at him who was sitting beside him, smiling happily. In contrast to him who wore a gloomy face.

"You're not working today?" Henry asked happily.

"None of your business!"

"Damn it, why did you answer that? I asked nicely!"

"Don't ask me anything! I don't want to talk to you!" Lila was so annoyed that she didn't realize that she was being childish. But for some reason Henry felt that Lila looked very cute.

He smiled and glanced at Lila who was reluctant to look forward. He didn't know that making this woman feel defeated would feel this good. It was as if there was a sensation that he couldn't resist flowing into his blood.

"Have you eaten? How about looking for a restaurant first?"

"No need!"

"It's rare for me to be this kind. So don't refuse!"

"Don't want to!"

"I'll treat you to a full meal! You really like eating, don't you? How about going to a French restaurant? You can order anything!"

"Don't want to!"

"Tch, you really don't know yourself, do you?"

"I told you not to talk to me! Why are you still talking to me?"

"What do you mean? So who should I talk to? Damn you!"

"You can shut up and drive properly!"

"Hey, I'm not your personal driver! Don't just order me around!"

Sreeettt...

Henry, who lost concentration, almost took the wrong route and was forced to pull his car over to the side of the road and stop before he hit something.

Deg...deg...

Their hearts were beating very fast because of the near miss. They were busy catching their breath, making the atmosphere that was previously noisy due to their argument suddenly quiet down for a moment.

"If I get hurt in an accident! You are the one who must be responsible!" Lila said.

"How much compensation do you want? I will definitely pay everything!"

"You arrogant bastard!"

"You'd better think for yourself! I'm waiting for your answer next week. Don't think I'll forget it!"
