Honey You Are My Lucky Star (Callen and Chelsea) novel Chapter 27

Harrison shakes Abbie's hand away look at me quietly.

I didn't make that comment out of nothing. I just suddenly noticed something that I hadn't been paying attention to before.

No matter how Abbie treats me, she must be on good terms with Harrison. So how could he not know about her hostility to me?

It's not that he doesn't know how Abbie feels about him.

Harrison turns around elegantly and walks up to me. His gaze is calm and indifferent, making me unable to breathe.

"Are you being cranky?"

"I'm just telling the truth," I correct him.

His shadow blocks the light, and I can't see his expression at all.

He says in a light tone, "The truth is, you're being cranky."

'Being cranky? Why would I? There's nothing between him and me but debt. He may be my boss, but he' s not the master of my emotions.'

I close my eyes and suppress the urge to cry.

"I'm not."

A finger gently rubs the corner of my mouth just as I finish. I am a little nervous, clenching my hands without saying a word.

On the night I went to him, I stood naked in front of him but he didn't have any reaction. I thought it was a "no". After all, a woman who has been married and induced labor is less attractive.

But he came up to me like a gentleman, put a dress on me, and said he'd help me.

I should have known he was gonna do this to me. When I am worthless, he will even discard me like garbage.

Just as I'm immersed in my own thoughts, his lips press against mine. For a moment, I feel my heart goes soft.

"I always do what I want. Don't try to challenge me." His forefinger presses against my lips.

Probably he doesn't want me to refute. I stand obediently in the same place with my eyes staring at him.

He chuckles. "And I won't forget what I promised."

This's probably a warning to me.

He'll do what I ask, but he doesn't want me to push his buttons.

He's gonna tame me bit by bit, and I can't resist.

Actually, I should thank him for not telling others that I sold myself to him for a black card. If he did, Abbie wouldn't have just laughed at me.

I take a deep breath and say in a low voice, "I never thought about challenging you."

"I don't think you mean what you say."

"Then what should I say?" I ask calmly.

I hate being pushed, so I explained. But my explanation didn't work for him.

If he wants me to follow his orders like a puppet, he should have just told me. I'll do whatever I can for him.

"Chelsea! Who are you to make him treat you differently?" Abbie's voice comes from behind Harrison. I look up at him expressionlessly, observing his reaction.

'Should I stop being the third wheel now?'

Abbie walks over with anger because I ignored her. She speaks sarcastically, "This is an upper-class banquet. Why are you here? To get a sugar daddy? You shameless b*tch!"
