“But I don't want that!”
Arielle didn't expect the general before her to be that straightforward. That was the first time they met, and he already asked her to be his woman. What the heck? He might be okay with this, but I am not!
“What did you just say?” asked Micah as he stared at Arielle in shock. It was as though he couldn't believe what he just heard.
“I said I don't want to be your woman,” repeated Arielle.
The warm smile on Micah's face turned upside down instantly.
He didn't expect the woman in front of him to be that difficult. As far as he was concerned, she was lucky that he was into her. How dare she turn me down?
“Do you know who I am? How dare you turn me down like this?” said Micah, shooting daggers at Arielle while wearing a stoic expression on his face. He was exuding a natural intimidating aura without having to put up a front.
“I don't care who you are. My answer remains the same,” Arielle replied calmly while looking right into his eyes.
Micah stared at her for quite some time before he suddenly grinned. “You sure are bold.”
It had been a while since he met a woman as defiant as Arielle. However, the more she behaved like that, the more he became intrigued by her.
Arielle scoffed. Bold? This has nothing to do with courage. I'm just confident, that's all.
“Have you been feeling dizzy recently? Do your ears ring? Does your skin feel numb, and sometimes your thinking is slow?”
As soon as Arielle said that, the expression on Micah's face changed drastically. He strode over and clasped her neck.
“How did you know all that? Who sent you here?” demanded Micah in a frosty tone.
Actually, Arielle saw that coming and could've dodged Micah's grasp, but she could only bear with it in order to not expose her own identity.
Micah's powerful grip made her cough a little, but she managed to answer his question. “I-I am a doctor.”
