"Of course I know, I bought it," replied Ramon, a little sarcastic, making Hailee even more uncomfortable. "There's nothing else you want to say?" he asked.
In front of this man, Hailee stood awkwardly, twisting the hem of her shirt with her head bowed. Just like a child being scolded for coming home late at night after playing too much.
"What else should I say?" Hailee asked in a voice so low which couldn't even be categorized as muttering. "I ... walked outside for some fresh air ..."
After saying that, Hailee really wanted to hit herself. Who would believe such a stupid excuse? And again, the one she was facing was Ramon Tordoff.
"You think I'll believe it?" asked Ramon irritably. Never before had a woman made him rush to approach her like this.
"I hope you believe ..."Hailee muttered very quietly. It seemed, her hangover had completely disappeared because of Ramon's arrival. It was really very effective. Much more effective than taking any medication. Hailee thought to herself.
"Get in the car now," said Ramon commandingly.
"Okay," Hailee agreed quickly and moved forward to retrieve the cellphone which was thrown away by Ramon, but the man held her arm, preventing her from picking it up again. "The cellphone is still good, why should you throw it away?"
"Because I can," said Ramon in a final tone. He didn't want to argue with Hailee anymore and it was already very late, he didn't want anyone else to capture this moment and mess up his plans. "Let us go home."
"Ah, my cell phone…" Hailee groaned, feeling too bad to lose her cell phone. Not only that, she could see through her cellphone screen which was lit that Ian was calling her.
Ramon ignored Hailee's complaints and opened the car door immediately. "That's my cell phone, which I gave you myself. So there is no need to complain like that," said Ramon.
He then ordered his driver to return to the Tordoff residence and ignored Hailee's attempts altogether to get out of the car.
"I'm hungry… can't we stop and eat something?" Hailee asked with a pained face.
"No," said Ramon curtly and then closed his eyes.
"What a cheapskate," Hailee grumbled so softly that only her lips moved without making any sound whatsoever. She then looked out the window with a look of despair.
How troublesome to face this person ...
==============
Ian arrived at the location Hailee told him to, but he didn't find anyone there, after wandering around for a while, he found her cell phone lying on the ground.
It was certain that Ramon had taken Hailee away, but what worried Ian was; what was that man going to do to her?
"Hh…" Ian sighed heavily and scratched his head.
From the brief conversation that took place between himself and Ramon Tordoff, it seemed that the man had learned of Ian's identity, as well as his circumstances, including the problem of his younger sister being cared for.
"This guy is really scary," Ian muttered, putting Hailee's cell phone in his pocket before walking back toward his motorbike.
At this point, there was nothing Ian could do except hoping for Hailee to be all right. Ramon was well known for having a cold personality, but not a single article said that he was a sadistic figure right?
He wouldn't torture Hailee, right?
==============
Maybe Ramon wouldn't torture Hailee physically, but he did 'torment' her mentally.
"What do you mean I have to sleep here?!" roared Hailee when Ramon locked her and himself in his room. To make sure that she wouldn't run away again.
