-Even though Suella was trying her best to gain attention, Danny
still spotted Alicia first when he came to the reception hall. Well, she did help me out. Might as well say
hi. “Hey, Miss Heidelberg. Here for the meteor shower, too?”
Alicia turned around. Oh, it’s him. She smiled. “Yeah. I’m here with a friend. Wonder if we’d be lucky
enough to see it.”
“I bet you will be lucky enough.” Danny smiled in return. “Speaking of which, I haven’t thanked you for
your help. I’ll be sure to treat you next time.”
“Oh, it’s alright. I didn’t do much, anyway.” She wasn’t expecting any reward.
“Please, I insist. I’ll do it. We’re friends now. Just call me when you need anything.”
Oh, this is a nice guy. Suella took her glasses off. She wanted to say hi to Danny but was too proud to
do so. Thus, she fidgeted around and waited for Danny to talk to her first.
However, the man only spared her a glance before saying, “I can see you’re busy. I’ll leave you to it
now.” With that, he left.
Right that instant, Suella’s face fell, and she crossed her arms in annoyance. “Who’s that?” she
snapped. “I was standing right here, yet he didn’t even say hi to me. Bloody no manners.”
“But he doesn’t even know you’re my friend.” Alicia looked at her in disbelief. She didn’t expect Suella
to say that, but still, she explained, “That’s Jamie’s friend. He’s an investor if my memory serves me
right. I have not a clue on what he invests in, though.”
Jamie’s friend? So, he must be rich, then. Thank you, God, for sending me a man like him. I’m taking it.
Suella replaced her annoyance with delight as she asked, “What’s his name?”
“Danny Griffith,” answered Alicia impatiently. Just then, the manager handed her their key card. She
took it and made her way to the elevator with her suitcase in tow.
Hmm, I can leave her here alone for a moment. With that thought in mind, Suella made her way to the
entrance. “You go ahead. I left something in the car. I’ll be right back.”
…
Danny took a carton of expensive mineral water from the trunk and slammed the door shut with his leg.
He then made his way back to the resort. The resort’s water might be bad due to the place being newly
opened. Ariel didn’t want to drink it, much less use it in her skincare routine. She told Danny to get
them some mineral water. It was expensive, but compared to Ariel’s skin, it was nothing.
Suella stood at the parking lot’s entrance. When she saw Danny heading her way, she quickly stopped
in her tracks and straightened her clothes out. Imitating Alicia, she held her hands before her,
pretending to be a polite lady. Then, she turned around and practiced her smile, trying to see which
smile would show her looks perfectly. Then, I’ll seduce him when he passes me by. When Danny finally
got closer to her, she turned around sheepishly. Just when she was about to say hi, she saw a car
charging straight at the man from behind. “Look out!” She covered her mouth and pointed behind him.
Noticing a car speeding up to him, Danny stood firm and darted into the group of cars in the parking lot.
Thankfully, he managed to dodge the car, and it whizzed past him harmlessly.
Just when Suella and Danny thought it was over, the car swiveled around and charged straight at
Suella.
Fear seized Suella’s heart, and she let out a scream. Yet, she couldn’t move. It felt like her legs were
filled with lead. The car was very close to crashing into her, and she closed her eyes as if surrendering
to her fate.
Seeing the dangerous situation, Danny placed the mineral water on the ground carefully and ran over
to Suella. If that car crashes into her, she will be badly injured, at the very least. Despite his efforts, he
couldn’t outrun the car. He could only watch as the vehicle approached Suella at high speed, and he
slowed down his pace in despair. Just when both of them thought it was over, the car turned directions
at the very last second and only ran over Suella’s foot. Then, it left the parking area. Baffled, Danny
thought, They left just like that? After that big show? For what?
A gust of wind blew across Suella’s cheeks, and she realized she was still alive. When she opened her
eyes, the first thing she felt was a searing pain coming from her foot. She fell and held both her feet,
howling in pain. Feels like my bones are crushed. Tears of pain streamed down her cheeks.
“Are you okay?” Danny ran over to check on her.
The woman seized the chance to put on a victim act. She looked at him with tearful eyes, and with an
almost sickeningly cute voice, she said, “Ouchie. I can’t walk anymore.”
Danny shuddered upon hearing her voice and could feel goosebumps spreading all over his body.
Back when he saw this woman in the reception hall, he knew she wasn’t any good woman. And now
that he heard her speak, that feeling grew even stronger. Still, he wouldn’t leave her just like that since
she had saved his life. “I’ll take you back.” He held her up with one arm, and then he remembered
something. Quickly, he let her go and ran away. When he came back, he was holding a carton of
mineral water, wiping the carton carefully. Can’t forget about honey’s stuff.
Suella frowned at that sight. Does he think those bottles of water are more important than me?
However, she didn’t show her displeasure. Not when she could finally get closer to Danny.
Maverick was hiding in the shadows. He left soon after with a smirk curling his lips.
A great staircase stood before the entrance. Danny led Suella there to get some rest. He then asked
for her room number. “I will take you to your room right now and get you a doctor afterward.”
“H-Honestly, I’m not sure. A-Alicia checked us in,” stammered Suella in an attempt to play dumb. She
wanted to be alone in a room with Danny. If they went to her room, Alicia would get in the way.
“I see. Not to worry. I know the manager here, so I can just ask him.” Danny wasn’t going to take her to
the hospital. His wife was waiting for him, and he wanted to see the meteor shower with her. He then
dragged Suella up the stairs. Even though he was carrying a box of mineral water with one hand while
holding the injured woman up with the other, he was strong enough to walk firmly.
Once they ascended the staircase, Suella yelped and fell backward. She was sure Danny would wrap
his arm around her waist to stop her fall. And once they got closer, she would put on a pouty face and
hint at him to take her to his room. She figured no man would ever resist a coy beauty like herself,
including Danny.
As expected, she felt someone grab her by the waist and pull her back up. Then, she felt herself falling
into a warm embrace. A smile curled her lips. She opened her eyes, expecting to see Danny looking at
her with love in his eyes. However, the first thing she saw was the face of a beautiful woman. Excuse
me, who the hell are you?! Shocked, Suella almost leaped away, but she clenched her fists and held
back the urge to do so. I can’t let Danny know I’m not that hurt.
“You’re here, honey!” Danny’s earlier scowl was immediately replaced by a big grin.
Suella was miffed. Why is it that every time I tried to woo a guy, some other girl would steal them away
from me?
