"You didn't ask me what happened between me and Giana?" Hailee asked in an annoyed tone. She folded her arms across her chest and still stared at Ramon with sharp eyes.
"If you want to tell a story, just say so," Ramon answered her, massaging his throbbing head painfully.
Seeing Ramon who looked uncomfortable, lessened Hailee's annoyance a little, her shoulders then relaxed a little and her voice was not as stiff as before.
"I want you to ask," Hailee said in a sulking voice, but her hand tugged at Ramon's head so that he could lay on her lap.
That man looked in pain and Hailee didn't know what the reason, maybe it was because of her?
Since this was not the first time for Ramon to rest his head on Hailee's lap, he did not reject the gesture that the girl showed this time either.
Slowly, Ramon adjusted his seat and made Hailee's thigh as a pillow, he also loosened the tie that was wrapped around his neck, making himself more comfortable.
"Didn't I ask you earlier, when we were still in the party hall?" Ramon reminded Hailee. He closed his eyes when he felt Hailee's hands gently massaging his throbbing forehead. It felt good.
"I want you to ask again, so I can know you that really do care about me and want to know what your ex- girlfriend told me," Hailee said in a low voice, not wanting Charles to hear their conversation, even though there was a partition between them and the driver, making their conversation more personal, but still Hailee didn't want to leave the possibility until this matter could be heard by someone else.
It would be troublesome if someone overheard it.
"She couldn't possibly hurt you," Ramon said, but then he growled in pain as Hailee tugged at a lock of his hair at the comment he'd just made. "What was that for?"
Ramon turned his head and glared at Hailee, but even so, he still did not move away from Hailee's lap.
"How dare you defend her in front of me?" Hailee clenched her jaw, giving an expression that she thought could intimidate the man lying in her lap, but the effect was the opposite.
Ramon just laughed and closed his eyes again, as if Hailee's words were a joke. "What I mean is; I believe that she had suffered more bullying; than actually managed to succeed in bullying you."
Hailee frowned when she heard Ramon's statement. What the heck? "Is that a compliment?" She asked uncertainly, because it neither sounded like a compliment nor a ridicule.
"You can say that." Ramon shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and patted Hailee's hand lightly, indicating for the girl to start massaging his head again and Hailee complied.
"Okay ..." Hailee said gravely. Well, if that's a compliment, then that's okay ... "Now ask me."
"You are troublesome," Ramon grumbled, but then he felt Hailee's hands stop, so he groaned in annoyance and complied with this girl's unreasonable request. For some reason Ramon felt that if he had to comply with Hailee's request, forced or not, he would. "What did the two of you talk about?"
"Okay, I will tell you if you really want to know!" Hailee exclaimed excitedly to share all her frustration. "Actually I don't want to complain, it's just that she pissed me off!"
Ramon: "..."
Wasn't Hailee the one who forced him to ask her? Okay, whatever ...
And Hailee spent the next thirty minutes telling the story to Ramon about what Giana had told her that annoyed her to this extent. Starting from her offer to help so that Hailee could get her inheritance rights to her family company ...
"... does she think I want the company? The company will collapse within one month if I am the decision maker of the company..."
Also regarding Giana's offer that she could fix her engagement with Theodore Gevano.
"... huff! That is the stupidest offer I have ever heard, how can I exchange diamonds for river stones?" Hailee said in with her pitch- high voice, sounded annoyed by that statement.
"And you mean that I'm the diamond here?" Ramon interrupted Hailee's ranting, just to confirm it.
"Of course!" Hailee nodded excitedly. "You are the most beautiful diamond I have ever seen!"
Okay, that sounds like a compliment, but why did Ramon feel like there was something strange about the words?
The way Hailee complimented someone seemed beyond normal standards ...
And another ten minutes passed until Hailee really had to let out her frustration about Giana's attitude earlier.
And during that time, Ramon listened carefully to her every word, even though Hailee sounded grumpy, but her voice was pleasant enough to hear, and her small hands, which were massaging his temples gently, lessened Ramon's headache a little.
"Then what did you say?" Ramon asked at the end of Hailee's long explanation.
"I said; say that again after Ramon and I cradled our first grandchild." Hailee repeated what she said proudly and Ramon chuckled at that.
Ramon really couldn't understand what was really on Hailee's mind, because she could easily make him laugh with unexpected answers or weird jokes.
"You really are an optimist." Ramon adjusted his position so that he could look at Hailee's face and found a blush crepting up her face when she was stared at like that.
