Chapter 39: CAN'T YOU KNOCK THE DOOR?

Hailee looked around her room and her eyes fell on a buffet table filled with her undergarments.

Without thinking much, Hailee immediately moved towards the buffet and pushed it in front of the door to hold it.

Hailee had to move quickly if she didn't want Ramon to open the door first. Hailee's first attempt to push the buffet table was unsuccessful since it was quite heavy, but after three full attempts, the table finally moved a little.

Luckily for Hailee, the position of the table was not too far from the door, so she could easily push it and it didn't take her long to push the rather heavy table against the door.

From the other side of the door, she can hear the clatter of keys being carried by someone who had been ordered by Ramon to bring a spare key.

But, Hailee didn't stop there, she then ran to the other side of her room and grabbed the night lamp on her bedside table and used that to prop up the door handle, so that even though the door lock could be opened, Ramon still couldn't enter because that would block the handle movement.

Making sure that the door would not budge, Hailee pulled out the single sofa and sat facing the door which had been neatly blocked.

Hailee sat cross legged on the sofa and rested her chin on her knee, admiring her work, which was brilliant enough to prevent Ramon from dragging her out and attending meetings and meet people she didn't want to see at all.

"Hailee! Open the door!" exclaimed Ramon irritably. "Or I'll break down this door!"

Hearing that, Hailee was quite surprised, but she still insisted on not moving a step from where she was sitting.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, an annoyed Ramon immediately took off the black coat he was wearing and rolled up his sleeves.

Seeing this, the servants surrounding him became anxious and began to exchange glances, communicating the best solution to stifle the anger of the two hostile people.

They had absolutely no idea what was the problem with the two seemingly harmonious pair, but for sure, they had never seen Ramon so emotional and angry as he was now.

Would that girl in there not be afraid to death, if Ramon managed to break down the door? The servants started to worry about Hailee's safety.

However, unfortunately, it was not that easy to break down a door at Tordoff's house, because even after the third try and the door was still standing firmly.

Ramon started cursing in annoyance, he should have installed a door made of ordinary wood instead of first class material like this.

"Hailee, keep your stance and get out now. As long as I'm still being nice!" Ramon banged on Hailee's door again.

"I'm going out but I don't want to attend the meeting you said earlier and meet the people in your office!" replied Hailee, who also shouted from inside the room.

"What's your problem with them!?" shouted Ramon angrily.

"I have no problem, I just don't want to meet them!" Hailee replied again.

Hailee didn't want to meet the important people on the board of directors of the Tordoff company and introduce herself as Ramon's future wife, when she was planning to run away before their wedding if Hailee still coudn't muster up the courage to tell Ramon the truth.

"Stop acting like a child!" Exclaimed Ramon, trying to hit the door again with his side, but still to no avail.

"Stop being so emotional! You are scaring me!" Hailee replied, although there was no indication that Hailee was scared.

"Open the door!" Ramon shouted back.

"I don't want to!" Hailee replied again.

Then, the atmosphere turned silent, until Hailee thought that Ramon had left and gave up on trying to force her to leave.

However, then Hailee heard something much scarier and it made her jump off the single sofa she was sitting on and let out a loud scream.

"Ramon, you are crazy!!!" screamed Hailee loudly. This time she truly felt fear of Ramon's madness.

From the roar of the machine that could be heard outside, Hailee could tell that it was a chainsaw.

Hailee knew this sound by heart because she had heard Ian using it several times when he was working part time in a factory, even when he was injured during a fight and had to rest, unfortunately the man did not listen to the doctor's advice and kept working.

Luckily nothing bad happened after that and Ian recovered as usual.

However, it didn't matter right now, since the most important thing at the moment, was Ramon's endless attempts to open Hailee's bedroom door with an electric saw!

He really was crazy!

"Ramon!" Hailee screamed over the hum of the machine. "Okay! Okay! Stop now! I'll open the door right now!"

Unfortunately, Hailee's voice was much smaller than the mower Ramon was using so the man couldn't hear Hailee's request and continued what he was doing.

In the room, Hailee hurriedly looked for her cellphone, she intended to call Lis and ask her future mother-in-law for help, but Hailee then realized that she didn't know her cell phone number at all.

The only cell phone numbers Hailee knew belonged to Ramon and Ian, and neither of them were in a position to help her in this.

"Ramon stop!" screamed Hailee back in panic, when she saw that the sharp teeth of the chainsaw had sliced open the solid door of her room. "He's crazy… this guy is really crazy…" Hailee muttered to herself.

Hailee was now standing behind the single sofa, which she had been sitting on earlier, looking helplessly at the poor door which was now almost torn apart.

Didn't the rumors out there say that Ramon was a man with a cool head and always did things after much calculation and consideration? Then why was he doing all this? Didn't he think about the costs he would incur in renovating the door?

Hailee shook her head. With the wealth he had, Ramon might not even budge if he had to tear down the entire building of this house ...

Time was ticking so slowly for Ramon, when he was so determined to get the girl in the room to stop being childish, but seconds passed by too quickly for Hailee when Ramon finally managed to break down the only barrier between him and Hailee.

And among the puffs of dust and sawdust, Ramon walked into Hailee's room.

"Can't you just knock on the door?" Hailee asked in a low voice.
