Hearing her sneeze, Rutledge asked with concern, "Do you get a cold for I drove too fast just now?"
"I'm not so fragile..." She wiped her face with a napkin. "Nothing, don't worry. I just need a hot bath after I go home."
He nodded, "Well... then I'll send you home after I pay the bill."
"How sweet." Kaliyah held her chin with her hand. "Samuel always asked me to go home alone by taxi after I took Samuel out to go shopping."
"You are not my girlfriend." Samuel blurted. "Why do I have to serve you? I have many girl friends around me. Why should I waste my time on you? It's nice of me to go shopping with you. "
"Samuel!"
Kaliyah raised her voice and shouted, "Are you looking for a beating again?"
"If it weren't for Mahoney——" He looked around and then gritted his teeth. "I would not be afraid of you!"
"You're afraid of him, which means you also fear me." She gloated. "I'm his daughter. We're the same."
Samuel stopped talking after he ate crow. Rutledge went to pay for the bill. After he came back, Samuel asked, "How much is the meal? We men go Dutch?"
"No need." Rutledge smiled. "Next time we eat together, you can pay the bill."
He was generous.
Elinor was chilled by his words. He meant that Victor knew her acts, like her meal with Rutledge. But Victor didn't destroy it just for he was in a good mood. If...
"Why do you scare Elinor with this tone?" Kaliyah hit Samuel, "Everyone knows the fact. Both of you are scumbags."
"Come on," He looked at her. "So why do you still make contact with me? You're also not good. Like attracts like. Now that I'm a scumbag, are you a bitch? You even went shopping with me."
Kaliyah was pissed off. "What you do mean"
"It's just your definition." Samuel shrugged casually. "I'm happy to be so, for I have the capabilities. Besides, after I declared this, the girls still came to me. Does it mean they're stupid?"
Elinor was shocked. Victor also said this before.
