Kapitel 16: Playing A Game: Two

Chelsca attempts to struggle from Lewey's hold, but he even tightens his hand. When he was about to open a door, Chelsca wanted to run away from him, but Lewey put his arms around her waist and gently drags her inside the room where a group of people joyfully chatting at a rectangle table.

"Like what I said, smile. Whatever you heard, smile," Lewey whispered in her ear.

"Grandpa, we're here! Sorry if we are late," Lewey greeted his grandpa and his company.

Lindsay Collins-Smith somewhat had that expression that she recognized the woman he brought along.

"And who is this beautiful lady with you?" asked President Samuel Miller, Laine's good friend.

"I want to introduce my girlfriend, Chelsea Verough," Lewey introduces her.

Chelsca was never in her wildest dream that she would stand today at Lewey's side, and he will introduce her as a girlfriend, though just a fake one. She has the urge to throw this guy on the floor and wrestle with him. How dare he claim that she is his girlfriend? Is he out of his mind? She wanted to scream but just inside her head and to punch this guy. . . However, it will become awkward for both her and Lewey, so she chooses to behave.

"Hmm... you are wonderful. Lewey had a good eye like his grandfather!" President Miller praises her then laughs.

Chelsca just smiled from awkwardness in this sudden game Lewey is playing, and that for her to pretend as his girlfriend! He even did not ask her permission if she would agree!

Well, would she agree if he ever asked her? It sounds like a bloody and physical injury argument as she will undoubtedly throw her knuckle to his face.

"Of course, I am, President Miller," Lewey said meaningfully, then smiled widely while glancing at her.

In secret, Laine looks at his grandson with a suspicious look. Lewey has been refusing him to introduce his friend's daughters, and the woman he is eyeing to paired with him is Samuel's granddaughter. But here he is, bringing a beautiful woman to this meeting with his friend. Also, he doesn't know which family this woman comes from. He is worried if his grandson picks up someone from the street.

Yes, his mind began running wild. Many pretty women would do anything to climb the High Society.

"So, where did you two meet?" Samuel Miller asked Chelsca; he seems to feel about interviewing her.

Chelsca wanted to feel annoyed at this moment, but she should act civil and lady-like as how her aunt Claire teach her to be a fine lady during meetings and greetings. She hates formal meetings. Besides, the profession she chooses has to act wisely.

"Ah, we--" argh, in the end, she just stammered her words.

"We meet at school," Lewey answered President Miller's question. Chelsca hasn't able to snatch her hand when Lewey grabs it and squeezes like sending a message.

She glances at him and saw his beautiful smile. Why does this guy acting like he is in love with her? Then, how could she work and pretend that she was too? Argh, why was she suddenly placed in this situation? She wanted to scream!

"Hmm... then what course did you take, Miss Verough?"

"I took a Law course, President Miller," she answered politely. She needs to look like had full of confidence.

"That sounds great! We need a lot of pretty lawyers!" Samuel jested and laughs.

Chelsca glances at other people at the table. She could see those fake smile and measuring look throwing at her, so she chooses to smile sweetly. She seductively leans at Lewey, then whispered, "I have to go; they are surely waiting already." Her tone is firm, but she keeps her fake sweet smile; of course, she does know how to wear one as well.

"Stay a little more," Lewey said.

Chelsca gasped in secret. Lewey's warm breaths are tickling her ear. "No, I have to go now." She could feel how her cheeks blushed. She keeps smiling then takes a little distance from him because her heart starts beating crazily.

How could she escape from here? Ah, her phone is vibrating. Nadia is calling her now, for sure. She needs to find an excuse; she doesn't like explaining to Nadia about everything.
