Me After Meeting You

Feeling his grip loosening, Amber quickly moved away from him.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Billy said, “It’s useless even if you get away from him. I’ve already collected all the evidence I need.”

Amber continued ignoring him, and walked over to her kitchen to get Calvin a glass of water. “Do you want any?”

He curled up and shook his head, then covered his face with his hands, as if he were an ostrich. Amber sighed lightly, putting the glass of water to the side.

“Then rest a bit first.” Then she took out a blanket from the side cupboard and covered him up. “Rest well, and you’ll be fine once you wake up.’

After saying this, she gently caressed his hand. His finger moved slightly and returned the motion.

When her fingers touched his face, he couldn’t help but tighten his fingers into a grip, and Amber silently endured him rubbing his face against her fingers.

Her fingers suddenly encountered a warm dampness.

Amber was a bit surprised, but he didn’t try to struggle this time. Instead, she patted Calvin’s back with her free hand. These intimate actions between the two people, carried out as if nobody else present, annoyed Billy very much.

“Hey, do you two have any sense of decency? I’m right here! Originally, I thought that it might have just been a misunderstanding, and I wanted to give you a chance to explain yourself. However, now, it looks like you don’t have to explain anything.” He picked up his phone and called Ian, his voice unusually serious. “Come quickly. Yes. You have to come over right away … yes, something came up. It’s big.”

On the sofa, Calvin’s body suddenly stilled. Amber rubbed her forehead out of annoyance, let go of Calvin, and then dragged Billy to one side. “Can you be quiet for a minute? And stop looking at me like that. First of all, I already broke up with Mr. Axton. Secondly, I certainly haven’t been doing anything as intimate as you think. And finally, I’d like to ask why you’re here to see me.”

She said a whole bunch all at once, but Billy only focused on one sentence. “What? You broke up with Ian? Heh, then were those ghosts that I saw last night? Were the people who mocked me for being a third wheel ghosts, too?”

Amber looked at him exasperatedly, not knowing where to begin her explanation. In the end, she could only push it onto someone else. “At any rate, Mr. Axton understands what our relationship is now. If you want to know why, then go ask him.”

After hearing her words, Billy actually believed her, and he scratched his head as he muttered, “How quickly the world changes! You two already broke up? You were even getting intimate all last night.” After glancing briefly at Calvin, who was lying on the sofa, he became bold and confident again.

“Then it has to have been your fault. At the very least, I thought that you and that guy were quite intimate last night.” He turned and pointed at Calvin as he said, “He’s the man who was with you last night, wasn’t he? With a man like Ian, you can’t just judge him by his cold outer exterior. I’m telling you, he has a raging fire inside, and he’s a clean freak through and through. There’s no chance he’d want you if you were messing around with another man late in the night!”

Billy was certainly very skilled at endlessly pestering someone. Amber looked at him and couldn’t decide whether to smile or to cry, but her impression of Billy had actually improved slightly.

At least, given Ian’s terrible personality, it couldn’t have been easy for Billy to defend him like this.

So despite his guesses being far from the truth, and despite his flinty gaze that left Amber speechless, she didn’t get mad. Instead, she calmly asked, “Did you find me for a reason?”

“Originally, yes. But now, no,” Billy said with a supercilious look. “No wonder he wouldn’t come even after I shouted at him for half a day. But actually ….” He couldn’t help but click his tongue as he looked Amber over again. “You’re quite something, able to act normally even after dumping him a day ago.’

“But your eye sight must be terrible, since it looks like you picked up a sesame seed by dropping a watermelon in the process.” He laughed coldly. “I’ll see how you fare in the future!”

Amber looked at him, her interest somewhat piqued.

Billy fiercely replied, “What are you looking at? Are you trying to seduce me, too?” He was actually very mad, really, very mad. He had been friends with Ian for many years, and naturally understood how difficult it was for someone like him to like someone. Originally he had even been quite happy for him, but this … this had been the result.

Thinking of this made Billy feel as if someone had lit a fire in his soul. Besides his stuffy personality, what aspect of Ian Axton wasn’t ideal? And she had even dared to dump him! Was she blind?

As Amber looked at his changing expression, she became very worried that he would go on a rampage to vent his frustrations, given how much like a gangster he talked and acted. However, he only paced back and forth in a few circles before he stopped and pointed his finger at her before saying, “You, you better not appear in front of us ever again!”

And then he flicked his sleeves dramatically and prepared to leave. But, just when he turned to face the door, he stopped once again.

At some point, Ian had arrived, and he was now standing at the door with a cool expression on his face. In the soft lamplight, he cut a fine figure with his straight body emanating elegance from every inch of it.

When he saw the two people look at him, he finally knocked on the door, and even amiably asked Billy, “Why did you get so angry? You’re being somewhat unreasonable.”

Amber was still fine, because the only impression she had of him was that he was a bit too cold. However, Billy looked like he had seen a ghost, and his mouth was opened so wide that he could have swallowed an egg whole.
