Chapter 118: PLANNING OUR FUTURE TOGETHER OR YOUR FUNERAL

"You didn't ask me what happened between me and Giana?" Hailee asked in an annoyed tone. She folded her arms across her chest and still stared at Ramon with sharp eyes.

"If you want to tell a story, just say so," Ramon answered her, massaging his throbbing head painfully.

Seeing Ramon who looked uncomfortable, lessened Hailee's annoyance a little, her shoulders then relaxed a little and her voice was not as stiff as before.

"I want you to ask," Hailee said in a sulking voice, but her hand tugged at Ramon's head so that he could lay on her lap.

That man looked in pain and Hailee didn't know what the reason, maybe it was because of her?

Since this was not the first time for Ramon to rest his head on Hailee's lap, he did not reject the gesture that the girl showed this time either.

Slowly, Ramon adjusted his seat and made Hailee's thigh as a pillow, he also loosened the tie that was wrapped around his neck, making himself more comfortable.

"Didn't I ask you earlier, when we were still in the party hall?" Ramon reminded Hailee. He closed his eyes when he felt Hailee's hands gently massaging his throbbing forehead. It felt good.

"I want you to ask again, so I can know you that really do care about me and want to know what your ex- girlfriend told me," Hailee said in a low voice, not wanting Charles to hear their conversation, even though there was a partition between them and the driver, making their conversation more personal, but still Hailee didn't want to leave the possibility until this matter could be heard by someone else.

It would be troublesome if someone overheard it. 

"She couldn't possibly hurt you," Ramon said, but then he growled in pain as Hailee tugged at a lock of his hair at the comment he'd just made. "What was that for?"

Ramon turned his head and glared at Hailee, but even so, he still did not move away from Hailee's lap.

"How dare you defend her in front of me?" Hailee clenched her jaw, giving an expression that she thought could intimidate the man lying in her lap, but the effect was the opposite.

Ramon just laughed and closed his eyes again, as if Hailee's words were a joke. "What I mean is; I believe that she had suffered more bullying; than actually managed to succeed in bullying you."

Hailee frowned when she heard Ramon's statement. What the heck? "Is that a compliment?" She asked uncertainly, because it neither sounded like a compliment nor a ridicule.

"You can say that." Ramon shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and patted Hailee's hand lightly, indicating for the girl to start massaging his head again and Hailee complied.

"Okay ..." Hailee said gravely. Well, if that's a compliment, then that's okay ... "Now ask me."

"You are troublesome," Ramon grumbled, but then he felt Hailee's hands stop, so he groaned in annoyance and complied with this girl's unreasonable request. For some reason Ramon felt that if he had to comply with Hailee's request, forced or not, he would. "What did the two of you talk about?"

"Okay, I will tell you if you really want to know!" Hailee exclaimed excitedly to share all her frustration. "Actually I don't want to complain, it's just that she pissed me off!"

Ramon: "..."

Wasn't Hailee the one who forced him to ask her? Okay, whatever ...

And Hailee spent the next thirty minutes telling the story to Ramon about what Giana had told her that annoyed her to this extent. Starting from her offer to help so that Hailee could get her inheritance rights to her family company ...

"... does she think I want the company? The company will collapse within one month if I am the decision maker of the company..."

Also regarding Giana's offer that she could fix her engagement with Theodore Gevano.

"... huff! That is the stupidest offer I have ever heard, how can I exchange diamonds for river stones?" Hailee said in with her pitch- high voice, sounded annoyed by that statement.

"And you mean that I'm the diamond here?" Ramon interrupted Hailee's ranting, just to confirm it.

"Of course!" Hailee nodded excitedly. "You are the most beautiful diamond I have ever seen!"

Okay, that sounds like a compliment, but why did Ramon feel like there was something strange about the words?

The way Hailee complimented someone seemed beyond normal standards ...

And another ten minutes passed until Hailee really had to let out her frustration about Giana's attitude earlier.

And during that time, Ramon listened carefully to her every word, even though Hailee sounded grumpy, but her voice was pleasant enough to hear, and her small hands, which were massaging his temples gently, lessened Ramon's headache a little.

"Then what did you say?" Ramon asked at the end of Hailee's long explanation.

"I said; say that again after Ramon and I cradled our first grandchild." Hailee repeated what she said proudly and Ramon chuckled at that.

Ramon really couldn't understand what was really on Hailee's mind, because she could easily make him laugh with unexpected answers or weird jokes.

"You really are an optimist." Ramon adjusted his position so that he could look at Hailee's face and found a blush crepting up her face when she was stared at like that.

Hailee looked so beautiful with her long flowing hair, she had untied the bun that kept her hair together as soon as they got into the car.

It seems that Hailee prefers her hair hanging loose and Ramon agreed with that, because she looks very beautiful in such a hairstyle.

"You have already mentioned having kids with me, so I guess you wouldn't mind if I took two steps forward." Hailee shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly and tried to avoid Ramon's gaze by staring at the street through the car window to her right.

"Hm," Ramon muttered, giving no definite response, and this made Hailee refocus on him.

"What?" Hailee frowned. "You want to take your words back?"

"Of course not." Ramon laughed at how Hailee was frowning. She was adorable if Ramon could tell.

There was nothing more attractive in Ramon's eyes when he saw Hailee pursing her lips with a crease between her brows.

"Listen," Hailee began. "I have said all these things in front of Giana, so don't try to go back to her or call her behind my back." Hailee threatened.

Normally, Ramon didn't take threats well, but this time he didn't mind at all.

"I told you, didn't I? I am a monogamous person. Just being with one woman like you was already overwhelming to me, I guess I won't have time to be with the other women." Ramon stretched out his hand and tucked a strand of Hailee's hair behind her ear.

"Okay, I will take that as a compliment," said Hailee. "But, remember your words; once we get married, there will be no divorce, it's either we plan our future together or we plan your funeral."

"I didn't say that last sentence," Ramon avoided, but the look in his eyes could tell that Hailee's words had sounded funny to him.

"I added the last sentence," Hailee said lightly.

Ramon then put his hand behind Hailee's nape and pulled her face toward his, until their lips met.

"Agreed," said Ramon between their kisses.

============== 

Hailee came into her room after she kissed Ramon on the cheek and said good night.

Or so it could be said that she fled, as she ran away after doing that.

Her heart was beating very fast knowing what she had just done and her mind began to think about the things Ramon might think of her.

Does Ramon like it when women make the moves first? Or was it too much?

No, no. This wasn't the first time Hailee teased Ramon, but for some reason after their kiss in the car earlier, she felt a lot more affectionate than before.

Does Ramon like her now? That's why he kissed her? But, it wasn't their first kiss either, was it?

Ugh!

Why was Hailee overthinking like this? It seemed, rather than her who made Ramon fall in love with her, she was the one who was falling deeper and deeper to his charms.

What else can she do? There isn't a sane woman out there who isn't as enamored with a man as Ramon ...

Hailee then touched her lips and smiled to herself as she remembered what happened in the car before ...

============== 

The next morning, Hailee woke up earlier than Ramon and prepared breakfast for him, because Ramon always woke up very early and she didn't have a chance to cook anything.

However, even after the dishes were set on the table, Ramon didn't come down.

"Ramon still hasn't left for work, has he?" Hailee asked Martha.

"Yes, I haven't seen Mr. Tordoff come down from his room," Martha replied, arranging the food on the tray, which was to be brought to Ramon's room.

"Hm," Hailee muttered.

Is Ramon took a leave today? Usually at this hour he would already halfway to his office. But, why didn't he come down for breakfast yet?

Hailee wondered, so after finished tidying up the breakfast that Hailee made on the tray, which contained tuna sandwich, a glass of mineral water and a cup of coffee, Hailee and Martha went up to the second floor to deliver the breakfast.

"Ramon?" Hailee knocked on his bedroom door, but didn't get any reply from the inside. What was the matter? He was not usually like this.

This was strange...
