Chapter 17 - 17: Lipstick smudge

At Daniella's apartment.

She was standing next to her couch with both hands on her h.i.p.s, a smile curved on her lips as she patiently waited for Scott and Robert to arrived.

She has one reason for asking Scott to bring Robert in her apartment, and that is to get revenge.

He feet are still hurting for driving her motorcycle barefoot, she doesn't know what happened to her but seems like her brain is not working properly since she met Evan.

She breathed and turned around after hearing the doorbell. She opened it while her face turned into a flat.

After opening the door, she could see that Robert was trying to hide his real emotion with a cold face, the man clearly knows what was about to happen.

"What do you want?" Robert asked as he passed her and occupied the couch.

"Why did you do that?" Daniella stood in front of Robert, her head was slightly down looking at him.

"Why do you care so much about Evan, and why did you kiss him?" Robert's face turned serious, mirroring Daniella's expression.

"How can you say that I kissed him?" saying that, Daniella avoided Robert's eyes.

Robert scoffed, head shaking in disbelief.

"Are you really going to deny it?"

"I saw the lipstick smudged on Evan's lips and not only that you were wearing his shirt," his face wrinkled with annoyance. He hated that fact that Daniella is lying because of a man, that she would choose to deny it even though they both know what the truth is.

"Stop it, Robert! Evan doesn't like me. He loves someone else," she sat next to him. Both elbows were on her lap while her palms covered her cheeks.

"Really?" he dubiously asked and continued

"Are you upset that he doesn't like you?" Robert's eyes were narrowing suspiciously as he asked that question.

"What? No!" she denied with a sour expression.

She sighed and continued, "Anyway you don't need to be worried. I heard a man's voice calling him a darling in his office," her voice became weak, while she felt a knife stabbing her heart.

With a slight pain she's feeling, Daniella's hand traveled to her chest. Her face was painted with perplexity.

She wanted to tell her friends about her situation with Evan. She wanted them to know that she couldn't read his mind but, she's afraid of what they might do to him, especially Robert, he's the most protective to all of her friends.

She lamented and turned to look at Robert, the man was busy searching about Evan Su in his phone.

"Robert, you won't find any information about his lover. Evan is not a celebrity. Now," thinking of Robert's prank earlier, Daniella's eyes narrowed as she stayed staring at him.

She tugged his ear repeatedly, making sure that her nails were stabbing on his skin.

"You stupid jerk, clean my apartment before I tear your ears and feed them to you," and with a full force, Daniella kicked Robert out of the couch and threw the dust feather at him.

Robert lost his balance after getting kicked by Daniella's short legs. His body slumped onto the floor and before he could get up, Daniella threw the dust feather at his face.

His expression darkened, he got up and was about to get his revenge when Scott stopped him by pointing a gun on his forehead.

"Seriously man. What's wrong with you and your gun? It's not like you can hurt me!" Robert exclaimed.

Scott gave him a half shrug and replied, "Well, she's my boss. She's filling my bank every month," then he smirked.

"I am not sure if you have noticed it Scott but, she's using my bank account to pay you. Do you think this stingy woman would spend a dime for us?" saying that with anger, Robert took the cushion from the sofa and threw it at Daniella's face.

"I don't really care where the money is from. All I know is that she's giving me the money every month," Scott replied, half grinning

Robert turned his narrowed eyes at Scott, his lips twitched with disgust, "Aish! Stingy and a cheap man, really you two are a perfect match," after insulting them, Robert went to the bathroom to get the cleaning material.

Meanwhile at the Su Residence.

In the living room, Selena was sitting on the couch and to her right was Anders, serving her tea.

It was past her bedtime, but still, she's in the living room watching the evening drama.

"Did he arrive?" she asked Anders, annoyance was in her voice.

She has been waiting for her uncle to arrive, only for one reason; Kirby.

Kirby always drives Evan back to the Villa, he used to be her uncle's assistant but, later her uncle promoted him as the second head of Su Financial Bank.

She doesn't understand it, Kirby is too young for the position but, it was not her place to make this kind of decision.

She's only fourteen but, what pisses her off was that after Kirby got the promotion, he barely stays at the Villa unlike before.

Her face wrinkled with irritation. Her legs moved and lay onto the center table next to her tea.

"Selena, you can't put your legs on the table," Anders slightly patted her legs but, Selena didn't remove it.

Instead, she crossed her arms while her lips form a pout. Eyelashes flickered as she fell deep with her thought.

(I need to get rid of that babysitter) her teeth were busy nibbling her lower lips as she thought of it.

With no idea coming in her mind, Selena's leg moved to kick the table.

"Selena!" Anders exclaimed.

"The tea spilled on the carpet," saying that, Anders called one of the maids and asked her to clean the spot.

Selena rolled her eyes on Anders with her lips pouting impatiently. She wanted to see Kirby, seeing his cute smile is enough to complete her day.

When they heard a car outside, Selena hastily got up and rushed outside. She slammed the door open with her heart racing. With a big smile on her face, Selena patiently waits for the car to stop and for the driver to get off the car.

But the excitement shining in her eyes disappeared as soon as she recognized the person that came out of the driver seat.

"Tsk. I really thought you were Kirby. Uncle Matthew, what are you doing here?"
