"You’re soaked through."
Calvin Ramos’s voice turned suddenly tender, a gentleness that seemed to thaw even ice, softly sliding across, reaching into people’s hearts.
However, Flossie Wright’s heart was turning colder inch by inch.
She had just raised her other hand, and that wrist was also grabbed by him.
She felt as heavy as lead, unable to move or fight back, her emotions churning with anger. Her gaze, sharp as a knife, cut through the air with lethal intent.
From a certain angle, they even seemed to be caught in an intimate embrace.
The rain began to fall harder, Becca Reyes stopped in surprise ten meters away, holding an umbrella. She stood there, rooted to the spot, the sight of them locked in each other’s arms taking her by surprise.
This sight was like a needle, piercing through her heart, lodged deep within.
It hurt too much.
The hand holding the umbrella handle tightened, to the point her knuckles turned white.
The oncoming wind drove the rain against her, making it seem as if her eyes were moist, and the overflowing water droplets that slipped down her cheek were scalding.
Closing her eyes, her tears slid down her cheek. Becca Reyes exhaled deeply and refused to take another look.
She turned and left.
However, the thin figure and umbrella over her head seemed to falter.
"She’s gone."
Only after that figure had disappeared, did Flossie Wright utter in an icy tone.
Her voice was as cold as frost.
It was filled with murderous intent.
Suddenly, Calvin Ramos let go of her.
In an instant, Flossie Wright’s pale hands clenched into a fist, and in a surprise move, she swung it hard at Calvin Ramos’s face.
Calvin Ramos barely avoided the punch but he was caught off guard when Flossie swung her other fist, and it connected with his face on the right. Such hard punch forced him to step back.
After cursing, Flossie, with eyes as sharp as blades, spun around and aimed a powerful kick at Calvin Ramos, who had barely regained his footing.
Responding to the imminent danger, Calvin Ramos instinctively lifted his elbow to block, taking two kicks from Flossie.
He did not retaliate.
"Whether you like her or not, it has nothing to do with me," Flossie said coldly, yanking at his collar, her beautiful face as cold as frost, "Don’t drag me into this!"
She had seldom felt so furious!
Or so frustrated!
She should’ve figured out that Calvin Ramos had some kind of motive for coming at this time!
But what infuriated her the most was that even knowing the stakes, he still used her so ruthlessly!
"I didn’t mean to drag you into this," Calvin Ramos suddenly laughed. A laugh that was strangely demonic, he fiercely wiped off the blood at the corner of his mouth, his smile turning slightly manic, "But you are her best friend. I had no other choice."
Flossie’s fists trembled slightly as she swung at Calvin Ramos again.
Suddenly, a hand stretched out to catch her weak fist.
Overwork had left her exhausted, she had no way of fighting back against Calvin Ramos. If she hadn’t caught him off guard just now, she probably wouldn’t have landed a hit on him.
But now, Calvin Ramos was on his guard.
"What’s your goal?"
Nevertheless, even though she was on the losing side, Flossie did not lose her fighting spirit.
"She likes me, right?" Calvin Ramos narrowed his eyes, with a glint of interest flickering within, "I’m quite interested in her affection for me."
