"Wait a minute." He was simply talking to himself right now. Did he assume I didn't exist all of a sudden? "What are you talking about? What advertisement?"
Hendrix was stunned for a moment before he spoke seriously, saying faintly, "For our wedding video of course. Shouldn't we tell the whole world you're marrying me?"
Who was it that taught him to say nonsensical things with such a serious tone?
"Stop joking around. There's nothing to talk about with marriage." I gulped. I wondered if Hendrix had been affected by Suanne and Nathan's tragic situation. I then asked, sounding concerned, "Are you alright?"
Hendrix stared at me in silence for a few seconds, stood up and approached me. Without any warning, he leaned over until his face was a few millimeters away from mine. I was so scared that I immediately leaned against the chair. He was simply insatiable. Gripping the armrests of the chair with both hands to support himself, he leaned in.
He didn't stop until I was completely held back against the chair, I couldn't move any further away. Our lips were so close to each other that they could touch with just the slightest movement.
"Does it look like there's something wrong with me?" Hendrix's deep black eyes flashed with a hint of amusement. "Is it that difficult for you to address me properly?"
Such an arrogant stare... He probably thought that I was afraid of being taken advantage of.
Although I was unwilling to admit it, I was the wealthiest person on earth right now. How could I be frightened over something like this?
I took a deep breath and sat up straight. Hendrix shrank back, his upper body reflexively bounced backwards to draw some distance between us. His entire body froze.
