"How dare you!"
Howard smirked, then grabbed Elaine's hand and tossed her onto the couch. He pulled on his necktie as he leaned on him, holding her face when she was staring at him in disbelief and kissing her.
The moment he kissed her, Howard felt as if he was electrocuted, and a numbing sensation spread throughout his entire body.
He didn't expect her lips to be so soft.
He didn't expect her breath to be so sweet.
All the sensations he received from her gave him a thrill of desire.
His initial plan was to kiss her lightly only to scare her a little, but to his surprise, he did not feel like letting her go.
Shocked by the abrupt kiss, Elaine was in a daze as her mind suddenly became blank.
It wasn't until she felt pain on her lips that she instantly came to her senses. Everything that happened last night flooded her mind. She remembered Sharon and Ariah told her to defend herself whenever someone forced her to do something against her will.
Unlike last night when she could only cry, she began to resist.
Frantically, she began to swing her arms at Howard, hitting him and struggling her way out with all her might.
While she was struggling, she slapped Howard's face.
The crisp and loud slapping sound echoed the room.
With that, Howard went stiff and stopped moving. There was shock and astound in his eyes as he let go of her and looked at her in disbelief.
Instantly, her face turned red. She bit her lip and kicked him away.
Her kick was so precise that Howard fell from the sofa to the floor.
Without looking at him, she climbed up and ran, as if she was avoiding some fierce beasts.
Howard sat on the ground in a daze and didn't have the time to react. It wasn't until Elaine was about to run out of the room that he rushed over and caught her back.
"Let me go!"
Elaine flung her limbs frantically to beat him.
Agitated, Howard stared at her and wondered if this was the same pure and innocent girl that he knew.
She had suddenly turned into a shrew!
While they were fighting, they accidentally kicked the table that the table fell directly to the floor with a loud bang.
This sound made Howard calm down for a moment, and he rebuked with a cold face, "Stop!"
In spite of that, Elaine was still hitting him as if she couldn't hear anything he said.
Infuriated, Howard grabbed her viciously, "I tell you to stop! Elaine, if you go on like this, I may really force myself on you! I mean it!"
After all, Howard was a man. He wasn't drunk nor was he handicapped. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have been able to slap him so hard.
She was no match to his strength if he was really pissed off.
The cold and stern roar frightened Elaine so much that she huddled up on the sofa and stared at him timidly with tears in her eyes.
Howard sneered, "Why do you cry? Did I hit you?"
He was the one who was getting beaten up!
