At this point, Selah was already shaking in both fear and anger. She tried her best to hold back her tears because there was no way she would let this man see her weakness.
"Go out and start packing your things to move in the villa," Barry commanded without taking another look at her.
Meanwhile, Selah walked out of the ward, feeling so defeated. Her eyes could not focus while her hands were firmly clasped in utter fury.
‘Barry Gu! That bastard! He is such a demon in sheep’s clothing! How dare him to treat me like this!’ she cursed to herself, hating him to the core.
The following day, Barry sent his personal assistant to instruct Selah in moving her luggage to the villa. He wanted to make sure that Selah would not defy his order and do as she was told.
So left with no other choice, she walked out of the company dormitory with suitcases and bags in her hands.
"Let me do it." As he spoke, Jaime gestured to take a suitcase from her.
"It’s okay. I can do it." Selah shook her head and said, "Look at you. You're a gentleman and a famous agent. How can I let you take it?"
Annoyed, Jaime took off his gold-rimmed glasses and retorted, "I'm not a gentleman anymore, am I?"
After saying that, he immediately grabbed the big bag and walked towards the truck, leaving her in a daze. It was such an unusual move from him, but because Selah knew that she had to hurry, she merely shook off that thought after a few seconds.
"Why did you suddenly move to Mr. Gu's house?" Jaime asked once they settled in the car. His eyes glinted with so much scrutiny and curiosity that even Selah felt slightly uncomfortable.
"I..." Her fingers twisted uneasily, as she was unable to say anything.
Even if she didn't tell him, Jaime could guess what was going on. After all, he had been in this industry for so long. However, he was a little bit surprised to see that Selah would be in this situatio
ry arrogantly snorted, Selah decided to just press her lips into a thin line, too scared to say anything more.
"Oh, right. This is the porridge Hester asked me to bring. Please eat it." After moments of deafening silence, Selah mustered her courage to utter those words, even approaching the bed.
"Take it away. I'm not hungry." Barry turned his face away like an angry child.
"Hester said it was Manager Lu's order. But if you don’t want it, then I'll throw it away."
"Wait! Come back!"
As expected, Barry stopped her at once, and Selah couldn't help smiling.
After setting up a bed table, Barry clumsily scooped the porridge with a small spoon in his left hand. He tried to put it into his mouth, but he failed.
Noticing this, Selah volunteered, "Let me do it!" She sat on the edge of the bed, took the spoon from Barry's hand, and silently fed him.
Left with no choice, Barry didn’t argue anymore and just silently accepted her offer.
The sound of the spoon colliding with the bowl and their heavy breathings could only be heard in the room.
"By the way, you need to go to a dinner party with me in three days." Barry was the first one to break the awkward silence, coughing uncomfortably.
"What party?"
"The celebration party for 'Be Together'. You are my female companion."
"Okay." Selah just shrugged off her shoulders. After all, she had no right to refuse as Barry had already made it clear to her back in the hospital. More than that, she knew that Mary was hosting the dinner party, so there was no way Barry would not go.
"I'm done. You can take it downstairs." Barry waved his hand as if commanding one of his servants.
Obediently, Selah cleaned up everything and silently left the room. When she came back after a couple of minutes, she saw Barry holding the fluffy toys. His eyes were brooding, and his jaws hardened, showing how lost in a deep thought he was.
