Chapter 358 - NOT FUNNY (1/2)

Despite the age of the old red car, it was quite fast on the road. Akira revelled in the feeling of speeding on the smooth roads. She had thought of burning the car to spite Kaito, but she decided to keep it for herself.

She was not a car girl like Hina, but that did not mean she could not appreciate a good one. Moreover, in addition to being a good ride, she liked the red colour.  ​​

Her goal was catching a train to Tokyo. Unfortunately, the only train going out for the evening from Mountain Ridge had already departed. However, she could still catch it at the next stop if she rushed.

As she sped through the meandering roads, a loud motorcycle approached her from behind. She could not be sure, but it seemed to be following her. She frowned as she looked through the side mirror.

Wait, why did that person look familiar?

She could not see his face in the dark night, but she could see the general style of the clothes and the tousled hair. She bit on her lower lip a little before speeding up the car. She did not want to see him.

The motorcycle also sped up behind her. It was not the best bike on the market, but it could still go quite fast in the right hands.

As Akira continued to drive at a high speed, she remembered that she had injured Kaito before leaving him. Even though he was tough, there was no way he was not in pain while riding the motorbike on a cold night.

She cursed in her heart before slowing down. Even though she was angry, she did not want him to suffer. Well, not too much…

The man behind caught up with the car with a small smile on his face. It seemed like Akira did not want him to die just yet. That meant that she had probably cooled down a little.

He rode next to the driver's side and looked at her pitifully. As a master of deception, he believed that he could win the little golden figure if he joined the entertainment industry. It was nothing for him to get a little pity from Akira.

”Please, pull over.” He said with a laboured breath.

She looked at him with anger in her large eyes. She could not tell if he was faking it or not, but she knew that she could not ignore him. It was her fault that he was in a painful state.

However, she could not stand it that she was too soft-hearted. She intended to leave Mountain Ridge and compose herself. Her goal was to ensure that she could face him with cool composure the next time they met.

Who knew that he was crazy enough to chase after her?

However, a small flame of self-satisfaction lit up in her.

She was not an arrogant woman, but she could not deny the relief in her heart at this occurrence. At least, this gesture meant that he cared for her if only a little.

She pulled the car to the side of the road and came to a stop. She opened the door and stepped out. Kaito stopped his motorbike beside her and stepped off it.

The two people faced each other.

Kaito had prepared a lot of words to convince her that everything that Ayumi said was meant to drive a wedge between them. However, nothing came out as he looked at her.

Her large eyes were a bit red and puffy, and her mouth was set in a stubborn way that betrayed inner anger.
