When Daniella came out of the bathroom, she saw her friend together with Evan sitting and chatting on the wooden couch.
She strode towards them on tiptoe.
"You might want to reconsider taking her to a restaurant. That woman eats like a pig. If you don't want to spend all your money, I suggest, cook in her apartment."
Hearing those words from Robert's mouth, Daniella's lips set in a hard line.
Robert's back was facing her; therefore, the man could not see her coming.
She glared at Scott when the man was about to send Robert a signal that she was just behind him.
Not aware of Daniella's presence, Robert continued.
"If you want to save money for the meat. I suggest you get a live chicken, pig or even cow. Slaughter it in front of her and she won't eat it. She only eats the meat as long as she doesn't witness their death. Pretty weird but, you will get used to it." Robert's shoulder shook as he laughed. Still unaware of the impending pain his body was about to suffer.
In the other side, Daniella shook her head when Evan looked at her, she placed a finger on her lips asking him to keep quiet.
Her hands were about to strangle him when Robert spoke once again.
"Don't call her ugly Mr. Su. If you go out with her, don't look at any other woman. She had a temper shorter than any human being. Just make her smile and please I am begging don't piss her off. That witch vents her anger to us especially to me and I can't hurt her because that would be animal abuse," and before Robert could continue, he felt a hand tugging his ear repeatedly.
He groaned in pain and seized the hand, without even looking, he already knew that it was Daniella.
"Hey Daniella, don't do this in front of Evan," he got up and ran away, seeing her irises turning black has made him realized that he went out of the line.
Daniella tried to fight herself from throwing her shoes at Robert, as she composes her body, she turned at Evan.
"Mr. Su, why don't I walk you out? There are too many bugs in this warehouse," saying that, her eyes were looking straight at Scott.
Evan got up and followed Daniella as she led the way.
-
The cold wind blows as soon as they walked out of the warehouse. The quietness of the surrounding has made their footsteps and breathing sounded so loud.
Evan and Daniella walked side by side, she was blushing under the moonlight while her eyes turned grey.
She felt her heart pounding, she doesn't know where Evan parked his car so she let him lead the way.
They walked for almost half an hour before they reached the car. Both were sweating and out of breath.
"This is really far," Daniella said in between her breathing.
"Well, It didn't look far earlier," Evan replied, catching his breath.
He chuckled, and seeing the smile on his lips has made her smile as well.
"Let me drive you back to the warehouse. It's pretty far to walk back," he offered.
Daniella nodded and got into the passenger seat, not bothering to put the seatbelt on.
When Evan started the car, his hand accidentally touches her. He looked down to check it.
"What is this?" he asked, pointing at the scars on her knuckles. He couldn't remember seeing it before.
Daniella withdrew her hand, she gulped and looked at the window.
"It's ahm,' she felt as if a rock was stuck in her throat, she finds it hard to continue.
"It's alright. You don't have to tell me," upon hearing it, shock overtook Daniella's face.
She turned to him; a smile full of surprise curved on her lips.
"I will tell you one day," she said. A strange feeling rose in her chest.
After Evan drove her back to the warehouse. Daniela said her goodbye and the man left.
When she pushed the door opened, she heard a guitar string playing.
Her eyebrow creased with confusion. They have so much work to do yet her friend found a time to play guitar.
As her feet strode inside, her face went flat.
Scott was playing the guitar while Robert was using his hands to drum on the wooden table.
Then as soon as the two looked at her, they both started singing with a tease.
Robert: 'I've been spending all my time Just thinking about ya.'
Scott: 'I don't know what to do. I think I'm fallin' for you'
They both sang with his eyes shining tauntingly.
He paused for a moment while Scott's finger continued on playing with the guitar.
Daniella's voice, exceeding the sound of the instruments said, "If you two don't stop. You will see yourself falling down the cliff."
But her threat did not scare them, instead, the two sang the lyrics aloud at the same time.
Daniella groaned in annoyance, she covered her ears with both hands and locked herself in the second room.
