However, Jimmy didn't say anything, and he didn't even move a little. After what happened, he remained still in his posture as he glanced at the couple every once in a while.
Meanwhile, Edward and Ben looked at each other in doubt. They were wondering how Captain Hudson remained calm when he had seen it with his own eyes?
If it were them, they would have gone down to beat him long ago!
The moment Ariah accidentally fell into Ricco's embrace, she felt extremely awkward. When she could finally stabilize herself, she got out of Ricco's embrace and cleared her throat. "I'm sorry, these heels are too high."
At first, she had thought that he would take her to have a candlelit dinner, so she deliberately dressed up and wore high heels.
When Ricco let go of her, he smiled. "If I didn't know that you have a husband, I would think that you deliberately threw yourself into my arms earlier."
In disbelief, Ariah stared at him and asked, "Did anyone ever tell you that you're particularly confident about yourself?"
Why would she even deliberately throw herself into his arms?
Was she the type of person who would do something like that?
When Ricco heard her question, he curled his lip and answered, "It's not a bad thing to have strong self- confidence. A man has to be confident enough to look charming, right?"
That answer left Ariah speechless.
However, Ariah was speechless because what Ricco said was right. Compared to a timid man, a man full of confidence did have a kind of personality charm.
"I'll escort you home?" As Ricco hailed a taxi, he asked her with his eyebrows raised.
At that moment, Ariah didn't want to be pretentious either. Indeed, it would be better for a woman to be escorted home by someone, especially when it was late at night.
"Thank you, then."
"You're welcome."
As Ricco watched her get into the car chicly, he stared at her eloquently. Before he got in the car, he glanced at the opposite side of the street.
Meanwhile, Jimmy, who was in the van on the opposite of the street, frowned. If he was not mistaken, Ricco had just looked toward his direction.
Did he know he was being watched?+
Or was it just a casual glance?
With a gloomy expression, he was about to ask his subordinates to start the car to keep up with them, but a man suddenly jumped out in front of the car.
At that moment, Edward, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was shocked, "F*ck, I almost stepped on the accelerator! Which fearless b*stard suddenly show up like that?"
Just as Edward was about to lose his temper, he saw Captain Hudson was helplessly looking at the person who blocked the car door, and he didn't seem angry at all.
Stunned, Edward asked, "Captain Hudson, who is this?"
"A friend of mine." Nonchalantly, Jimmy spat out the answer as he opened the door and got off the car. Instantly, he went up to Sharon and glanced at the angry man behind him. "You're already the mother of two children. Why are you still so reckless? Who are you trying to scare when you suddenly rushed out like that?"
However, Sharon licked her lips, as she had no intention to spout nonsense with him, "Why didn't you answer my call?"
"Oh, I was in a meeting."
"Then, did you read the message that I sent you?"
"Yes, I saw that when I came over."
With her eyes widened, Sharon asked, "How can you still be so calm when you've read my text?"
Then, Jimmy shrugged and answered, "What else am I supposed to do? Rush into the restaurant and beat them up? Or use a gun to scare them?"
As Sharon stared at him in shock, she suddenly felt her wrist tightened, and she was pulled into Stanley's broad embrace. A moment later, Stanley's unhappy voice rang above her head, "Why did you run faster than a rabbit? Didn't you hear that I was calling you?"
When Sharon turned her head, she saw his black face and immediately took the initiative to wrap her arms around his and said, "I heard it, but I was in a hurry. You said Jimmy was sitting in this car, so I was in a hurry to come and have a look."
That was why she ran a little too fast. At that moment, the veins on Stanley's forehead twitched. This woman was so infuriating!
"I'm fine." In fact, Sharon knew that he was worried about her, so she said, "Don't be angry."
However, as soon as Stanley looked at her, his irascible mood was calmed down by her soft voice.
