Chapter 486
Six to seven o'clock in the evening was the peak hour for everyone to get off work. Hence, the streets were jam-packed with vehicles.
Johnny ended the call while wearing an upset expression after Luna rejected his invitation to dinner. Then, he changed into plain clothes and got off work.
His mood only worsened when his car got stuck in a jam on Xemrich Road. There was a long queue of vehicles ahead of him, and they just wouldn't budge. Only those on motorbikes, electric scooters, and bicycles could make their way through the tiny gaps between the cars.
As getting caught in traffic congestion was annoying, Johnny, who drove an expensive car, was extremely envious of those riding on motorbikes and electric scooters.
He stared jealously at the motorbikes whizzing past his window when burning anger suddenly filled his eyes.
That was when he saw Harold riding past his window with Luna in the seat behind him. To make matters worse, he also heard the intimate conversation between these two.
“Say, Harold, can't you ride faster?”
“Of course. Wrap your arms tightly around my waist. I will pick up speed now to show you what I'm capable of!”
Even though Harold and Luna had long disappeared from Johnny's sight, their words echoed in his
mind. “I'm part of the Tawle family, one of the top ten families in Xenhall. How can I, the director of the internal medicine department at Xenhall Hospital, lose out against a man with mental problems? B*tch, just you wait!” Eyes glued in the direction where Harold and Luna had vanished, Johnny clenched one of his fists and slammed it forcefully against the steering wheel.
Hatred flashed across his eyes. That b*tch is clearly going on a date with that crazy loser. How dare she lie to me, telling me that she is going out with her friends?
Johnny's anger was palpable. He had the urge to alight from the car and chase after them, but they were long gone.
Meanwhile, Harold had weaved through the pedestrian walkway and the congested road with Luna in tow.
They finally arrived at Morinstar Hotel at half-past six, the peak hour for dinner.
Luna felt something was amiss while they were on the way here. However, she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
When they reached the entrance of Morinstar Hotel, realization finally dawned on Luna.
Naomi despised Harold. Why would she use him to make Donny give up on courting her? Naomi and Michelle must have asked Harold to come over so they could get Donny to teach him a lesson!
With that in mind, she tugged on Harold's sleeve.
Harold, who was about to squat down and lock up the bike, turned around with a puzzled expression,
asking, “What's wrong, Luna?”
“Harold, you shouldn't talk too much when we see them later. I suspect that Michelle and Naomi invited you here to get Donny to teach you a lesson. You should be careful. Pay attention and act accordingly. I'll help you out if anything happens!” Luna told Harold, choosing her words carefully. From NôvelDrama.Org.
Harold recalled the incident at Daroga Cafe and declared confidently, “Donny? Trust me. He won't dare to try anything on me.”
“I'm serious! Don't think the entire world will be afraid of you just because you can fight. Here's something you should know. It's a piece of cake for those wealthy tycoons to teach you a lesson if they want to. They have a lot of fugitives at their beck and call. If you continue to behave so arrogantly, you might end up dead in a ditch someday!” Luna's expression was stern as she lectured Harold angrily upon seeing that the latter did not consider Donny a threat.
For some reason, Luna couldn't help caring for Harold, who was a complete stranger to her. It was probably because Harold's personality resembled her late husband's.
“Fine, Luna. I'll listen to you. I promise you I won't talk much after we enter the hotel. Is that okay?”
