"Look at the bodyguards at the door. Can I even run? Once I start, they'll definitely drag me back. Besides, the bodyguards will keep an eye on Adam, so I won't chase. Being hauled back would be so embarrassing!"
Ruby Mercer made up a completely untrustworthy excuse. This nonsense, even Hannah wouldn't believe it, so how could Alexander Mercer possibly believe it?
"Ruby, since when did you become someone who listens obediently? Has Mr. Moore influenced you that much?"
Alexander Mercer looked mischievous; if he didn't provoke her a bit, he couldn't get Ruby to spill the beans~
"When have I? You little brat, have I been treating you too nice lately? Hmm?"
Ruby Mercer seemed like her heart was hit; she sat up from the bed and tugged at Alexander Mercer's ear, saying fiercely.
"Wrong, wrong! I'm wrong, I don't dare anymore, please spare me!"
The wise man submits to circumstances, Alexander Mercer immediately chickened out. If she kept pulling, his ear would become like pig's ears.
