Whatever was going through his mind when he declared his possession of Laskin's daughter, he refused to think about it deeply at the moment. It was not part of his plans and even he was surprised.
However, a punny girl like Kamilla Laskin should not be left alone in the world. She will be an easy prey for predators.
"I do not want to burden you any further, Mr. Petrov. "I know the way to my apartment." After a long silence, Kamilla's voice drew him away from his deep thoughts.
After they left the restaurant, she has been insisting on leaving. She refused to enter the vehicle, but his cold stare rendered all of her efforts futile.
"Believe me, Kamilla, you will never be a burden" Across from him, he met her panicked gaze and watched her restlessness.
Despite his efforts not to intimidate her, he could sense her discomfort. She has been relentlessly watching the road, seemingly waiting to be rescued.
"Don't you dare fear me, Kamilla" with clenched words, he warns. It irritates him seeing her cower from him.
His words caught on Kamilla, earning her attention. Her round puppy eyes reflect both fear and charm as she stares back at him. He watch her closely and was quite bemused by two disparate aspects of her.
Her frailty awakens his protector instincts, but her fear irritates him. He did nothing to make her fear him other than the fact that he was Petrov.
"You are a Petrov."Worst of all, you are Samuel Petrov," she mumbles softly to defend herself.
"What is that supposed to mean?" He heard her soft murmur and he was aghast by her defense.
Despite his desire to make her feel at ease around him, he could not help but be irritated, as evidenced by his grim voice.
"You have the darkest disposition among all of the Petrovs." Despite her obvious fear, she is refreshingly honest.
Her candor is putting him in a disparity. The girl has the ability to simultaneously annoy and amuse him.
"It runs through the family." Not knowing how to respond, he indulged her with a dismissal.
"You are the worst" she boldly insisted while he did nothing but calmly stare at her.
"You haven't met everyone in the family. How did you come to know? He coaxes her into a conversation. She appears to be forgetting her fear as she argues with him.
"Everyone in the country knows your reputation, Mr. Petrov" she continues to persist while looking almost vexed.
"You have time to listen to gossip" he casually shrugged and his nonchalance made her more irked.
"It is not gossip," she quickly countered, glaring at him.
He has no counter. How can he tell her all Petrovs share the same disposition as him? They just have different levels of temperament in certain circumstances.
"We're here" he muttered after the vehicle came to a halt.
Her attention is averted outside, and she realizes they are already parked somewhere. She noticed men dash towards their vehicle before the door opened.
"Where's here?" Suspiciously, she narrowed her eyes on him as she refused to move.
"My place," he replied as he casually stepped out and extended his hand to her.
"Your place?" Her brow furrowed, revealing her confusion and internal panic.
He watches her ashen face as she battles with the torment inside her head. He can do nothing but heave a sigh, seeing the fear in her eyes
