Chapter 10 SHE WAS DOOMED

To understand another person, you must swim in the same waters that Gael's expression turned rigid at the two men before him. "Leave." His voice was so dark, as he looked them straight in the eyes.

This made the girl shiver, but her expression remained brave, as if she was not affected by the hostility that Gael emanated toward her lovely friends. Such a cute girl...

However, brushing aside their fear, the two men gritted their teeth and glared back at Gael. They thought they could save Lise from this evil businessman. But little did they know, their actions only dug their own grave and made it harder for Lise.

"I know who you are," the man in the blue shirt said. Gael knew whose family this jerk belonged to, too. "You are Gael Mckeltar from the LB company. If words go out saying how you are forcing yourself onto a girl, you will tarnish your own name."

.....

LB company was an international company, one of the most successful companies with the highest net income these past two years under Gael McKeltar's dominion.

"Is that a threat?" Gael's eyes glinted viciously and he saw from the corner of his eyes how Lise was about to ask them to leave again, but he kissed her instead, swallowing every single word right before it could pass her lips.

There was a loud gasp from the two men before him and he smirked in his kiss, while Lise tried to push him away, but to no avail.

Only when Gael was satisfied and almost every person inside the small cafe witnessed this, did he release her and turn around to face those jerks again.

"I know you too boys." His smile widened when he saw how irked they were for being called 'boys'. "Luca Elmwood, Russo Andersen." He pointed them with his chin, but his other hand sneaked around Lise's body, holding her there possessively. "Your family is no longer in power." He stared at the man named Luca. "And you... if you don't go now, I will make sure your family will get the first warning from me to return all the debts. That will be the first thing they will read in the morning."

Gael felt elated when he watched the two men's surprised expressions. Right! That was how you were supposed to react when someone gave you a threat.

However, in Gael's case, that wouldn't be only a mere threat...

"Go." Lise mouthed that word, she didn't want her two friends in trouble because of this man's psychopathic behaviour.

With an apologetic look, the two men cleaned up their stuff from the table and walked away from the coffee shop, leaving the two of them alone.

Once it was only the two of them at the table, Gael's eyes found hers.

"You can't do that to me," Lise said through gritted teeth. She felt ashamed to be treated like this in front of her friends.

"I just did," he replied in a matter of fact tone, but then his gaze hardened and this made her shiver in fear. And somehow, Gael enjoyed the way she feared him...

Lise wanted to say something, cursing at him even, but she knew, whatever words she said to him, wouldn't have any affect on him.

Thus, instead of talking to him, she chose to walk away. She wanted to be as far away as she could from him.

However, that was only her wishful thinking. She had zero chances of getting rid of him.

"I am not done talking to you," Gael growled at her in a low voice and pulled her back harder, so she fell into his lap instead.

This evening, even though this coffee shop was not as crowded as the other night, there were still three tables in business with a few people around.

It was not the right place for them to have a fight, especially for someone like Gael. Yet, when it was about Lise, Gael could turn into a very ignorant person.

Fuck with good name that he had to uphold. It was already good enough that he didn't chain this girl, so she would be in a place where he wanted her to be.

"Do you want to embarrass me here?" Lise knew very well that Gael wouldn't do something that would dishonor her.

"You know I will not do that, my little girl." Gael signaled his men to do their job. "Just wait for a bit, I have not eaten anything yet. I came right after I heard that you went missing."

Gael always gave her various nicknames and she didn't like them in the slightest, even so, Lise couldn't make him stop.

By the time Gael finished ordering a drink for himself, his men cleared up the area, reimbursed the guests there so they could leave quickly, and turned this place into a private cafe for both of them.

"Now, tell me why did you run away to meet those bastards?" Gael's eyes darkened, and his smile stiffened. He hated the fact that she went out with other men.

He had been lenient enough toward her.

"They are my friends." Lise emphasized every word she said, but Gael laughed at her instead.

"People from different sex will not be friends, they can only fuck."

A second after Gael finished his words, a harsh slap landed on his cheek and the sound of it rang through the empty coffee shop.

At this moment, not even the employees were around to witness that.

Lise was shocked by what she just did, her heart skipped a beat as her breathing turned ragged and her hand trembled. She saw a glaring palm print on Gael's cheek, her own handprint.

She was scared...

Would he slap her back?

What would he do to her?

This was the first time she had actually slapped him.

And when Gael raised his hand, with his eyes fixed on her face, Lise closed her eyes, waiting for the pain to come. She was doomed...
