“Hello!!! Hello!!!” Noah grunted. But all he heard was the end call beep on his phone.

He felt his blood was boiling up once again. He involuntarily took his hand on the back of his neck and massaged his nape as he usually did in frustration.

Meanwhile, his driver had already started the engine, but he did not know where Noah wanted to head to. His Boss looked totally pissed off after the phone call, so he waited for instructions until he was a bit calmer.

“Sir?” Noah heard his driver ask, waiting for his instruction on where to go. He suspired long, deep breath. He had never met a woman as annoying as Luo. Then he suddenly thought that it could be a blessing in disguise for her to leave his firm or else he would die out of stress with her attitude.

But still, he wanted to get even with her and teach her a lesson for playing with him like that. He couldn’t fathom the fact that he was played by a woman so easily. How dare she make that bargain without a second thought and think he would let everything slide that easily?

His driver coughed to attract his attention.

“Drive to the Sy Building.” Noah instructed, still trying to calm himself by breathing in and out. He did not even know why he could put up with that woman this much.

“Stop at the nearby restaurant to Sy building.” Noah then instructed when they were almost near. He went out of the car and walked inside the restaurant. Then he made another call to Luo to tell her where he would wait for her.

He booked a private room and ordered the dishes already while he waited. Then he looked at the report Craig gathered about Luo up to date on his tablet. He could not believe that he was actually stalking a woman like this. The report was very detailed, including what Luo was doing every day since she left his firm.

Soon Luo arrived inside the private room. She had a smile plastered on her face as soon as she stepped inside. He frowned, seeing she had totally changed her fashion sense and now she looked even more smart and beautiful. She was even wearing one clothing she bought with his money, if he was not mistaken.

‘Look at this woman wearing all those luxurious things she did not pay for.’ he mumbled. The bill in his credit card was really high and something that shouldn’t be let gone that easily. She bought all things from the most expensive branded boutique! She was way worse spender than his little sister Brionne!

“Why didn’t you want to meet inside my office? Are you going to burn once you stepped inside the competitor firm?” Luo mumbled as soon as she was inside.

She sat comfortably on the chair opposite Noah. It was a good time for lunch.

“Did you already order? Lunch on me…” Luo said while she looked at the menu.

“So when are you going to pay? Aren’t you loaded enough to pay for those?” Noah snapped, pointing a finger at her dress.

Luo unconsciously looked at the dress she was wearing and said, “Oh these? Yeah, but it���s too expensive. Can I get some discount please? You see, I did work in your company for more than a month and helped with Gale’s case as well as a few other important ones as well. I won’t dare buy those branded clothes, bags and shoes if it’s my own money that I had to put in buying them. Honestly, I went back to the store to return it all, but they did not want to accept it back.”

Luo then looked at him and said, “Stop frowning… Can we eat first and talk about it later. You don’t want us both to get indigestion…” then winked at him with a smile on her face.

Noah’s face crumpled, and he felt a little embarrassed by her actions. He raised his cup hurriedly to drink the tea in order to hide his embarrassed state from her.

“Ouch!” he hissed. He forgot it was still hot in his hurry.

Luo clicked her tongue watching him and said, “See what I meant? Stop getting irritated, okay. Your ego will only bring you more stress and you will look ten more years older than your real age.”

“Stop talking and just eat.” Noah muttered with his collided eyebrow, while the food was being served.

Luo no longer responded since she was starving. Both were quiet while they were eating. After Noah was done, he intently looked at Luo and said, “So tell me when are you going to pay me back, because if you won’t I will start to put an interest on every single bill each day passed. Or perhaps should I just sue you for stealing my card and spending without my knowing?”

“No, you won’t.” Luo confidently answered.

“Yes, I could…”

“Oh, come on, let’s not waste energy. How about this… I really hate spending money on clothes like this, so why don’t you think of any other way so I could repay you, like by doing some kind of favors or something like that? You see, I prefer paying in other ways like by doing favors rather than spending money…” Luo suggested because she really hated spending her own hard earned money on unnecessary things.

Noah glared at her, and Luo only shrugged her shoulders as she continued to eat her desserts.

“If I ask you to sleep with me as a favor, then will you do that? Sleep with me?”

Luo coughed, she almost choked on the piece of cake she gulped without chewing.

“Are you kidding me?!” Luo asked with rounded eyes. She stared at him in disbelief, without even blinking.

“Never been dead serious before in my life,” Noah, with a stern face, replied. His gaze never left her eyes, challenging her…

Luo pouted her lips. She drank some water before looking back at Noah and said, “You see… If you want to sleep with me… You will have to spend significantly way more than that on me…. You see, I’m NBSB so it will cost you a lot.”

“NBSB?” Noah unconsciously murmured.

“Yeah… No boyfriend since birth… You know… So that tiny amount of money that you spent on me earlier won’t be enough for me to do that favor.”

Noah did not know whether to cry or laugh. He did say that to only intimidate her, but looked on how she took his words.

‘Did she really love money so much?!’
