"Lalisa Manoban" I said in a menacing tone.

My girlfriend visibly gulped hard upon hearing those words.

"I don't want anyone in the car except the two of us. Go drive" I told her with a straight face.

"Babe.." she tried. I just sat on the passenger seat in front and slammed the door on her face.

I heard her spoke to the two outside. She said, "Just shadow us. I'll take us home"

The two looked worried now. I saw Yeji threw a glance in my direction and I just nodded at her and she did the same out of respect.

Lisa tried to talk to me once she held the steering wheel but I said, "Don't talk please. This can wait. Get us home now"

She sighed defeated and just drove off.

After a record of 20 minutes, we got back to the penthouse.

I went straight to the bedroom and she followed me like a lost puppy.

"Babe.. talk to me please? I'm sorry I kept you waiting. I didn't notice the time. I was checking and trying things out. I swear the guy clerk purposely took his time showing me the items. And.. and there was uh.. kind of an.. incident" she said tentatively.

"What incident?" I asked calmly raising my eyebrow to it's highest peak.

"I was kind of.. harrassed.. in a way.. like what usually happens to the two of us.. you know, guys hitting and flirting.. those types.." she explained.

"What?! Who's the guy?! Why didn't you call me?! I'll kill that bastard! Where is he now? I hope he's in jail, or physically disabled or lost his job already!" I said frustrated.

"Uhm.. I let it pass 'coz.." she said.

"What?!!! Why did you let him get away with it!!" I barked loudly.

"Babe.. can you let me tell you the whole story before you scream at my face. Calm down please.." she pulled me closer to her while we sat down on bed facing each other.

When I calmed down a little, she spoke."I know you're not gonna like this but let me explain first okay? This is an unexpected scene and I made sure to take advantage of the situation for our plan. That's just about it. Okay? So this guy, the sales manager kept on hitting on me the whole time through his words but I just let it all pass since his words don't directly affect me. Then when I was handing him my credit card for payment, he purposely brush his fingers with mine and he followed it with words like asking me out for coffee or something like that. I can't even remember. He also said things like beautiful name blah blah.. Then I think Yeji felt that I was very uncomfortable and trying my best not to physically hurt the guy, so she stepped in.."

"What'd she do?!" I interrupted her story telling and received a stern look. I sighed and nodded for her to continue.

"She told the guy to just hurry up and do his job because we're running out of patience. But the guy still went on and on holding us there for as long as he can. In the middle of his flirting game, I kinda.. pulled the girlfriend card on him. But since my real girlfriend's not there. I uhmm.. I pulled Yeji with me. It's the most logical and believable thing to do just to get it over with. It's usually effective based on our experiences, right?" she asked for my opinion.

"It's Hwang. What happened next?" I asked trying so hard not to breath out flames. But my ears are steaming.

"Babe.. you're turning red.. Are you okay?" she asked worriedly.
