Chapter 433 Admit It, You've Liked Me
"Why are you running?" Herman's face was all serious as he stared at her.
"Why are you grabbing me?" Shirley's eyes were wide with fear. "Let go of me, you creep! I'm not sleeping with you, so just forget it!"
Herman let out a frustrated laugh. "What are you even thinking? You really think I'd be into you?"
Shirley stopped struggling, confused.
Wait, what? He wasn't interested in her?
She turned to him, puzzled. "So, what's got you so...excited?"
Herman looked genuinely surprised, like he didn't expect her to say that. "You..."
"What about me?" Shirley jabbed a finger at his chest, her voice steady. "Herman, admit it, you've liked me for a long time, haven't you? Why else do you keep popping up around me? Once or twice could be a coincidence, but this is way too much. Haven't you thought about it?"
She felt so sure of herself, her eyes sparkled, and she lifted her chin, chuckling. "Look at you. Who would believe you don't like me?"
"You!" Herman looked at her confident smile and felt utterly helpless.
Unless he was out of his mind, he wouldn't like her!
Herman sneered, "Do you really not know why I keep finding you? If you hadn't been filling Mary's head with divorce talk, I wouldn't even look at you!"
Shirley narrowed her eyes. "So, you've been holding me back just to help Matthew?"
Herman's expression was sarcastic. "So stop being so full of yourself. I've liked someone, and it's definitely not you!"
Shirley cursed inwardly, 'Herman and Matthew are such jerks! They actually teamed up against her and Mary!'
She was confused at first about why Herman was suddenly all over her, but now it all made sense!
Looking back, it was all so ridiculous!
What made her even angrier was Herman's rejection!
Was she not pretty? Did she not have a good figure?
He was clearly aroused, yet he still denied her!
Shirley suddenly steeled herself, took a few steps towards Herman, hooked her arm around his neck, and kissed him!
Herman was stunned, staring at Shirley in disbelief.
He instinctively wanted to push her away, but when his hand touched her slender waist, he suddenly paused!
Shirley took the opportunity for a deep kiss, her eyes sparkling with a cunning, vibrant gleam, like a cat that just caught the canary.
It was as if she was saying, "See, you actually like me!"
A surge of anger rose in Herman's mind, fueled by the smugness in her eyes!
He suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist, held the back of her head, and deepened the kiss!
Herman's astonishment and shock in his eyes made her very satisfied, but just as she was about to stop, he suddenly took control, aggressively kissing her. She was forced to retreat several steps, pinned against the wall by him!
What was happening?
How did it come to this?
Didn't Herman keep saying he didn't like her? What was he doing?
Shirley originally just wanted to scare him, but now, she was the one who got scared. Her legs went weak, but the force on her waist tightly restrained her. Their bodies pressed together, she could clearly feel he was aroused.
