Chapter 523 - The Bait (2/2)

Never had she felt so alarmed for any woman around him. Even Ruth's presence was not as alarming to her as this hot, s.e.xy and mysterious professor Candice was!

”Yes, you see, Candice has always followed me around before telling me that she likes me a lot.” Rui shamelessly lied as a sudden brilliant idea came into his mind.

”What?!” Cali, turning at him, yelled.

Rui chuckled and proudly said, ”why? You don't believe me? Am I not that handsome? You heard her yourself… She wants to go out with me. You see, earlier too… She always used to ask me out, give me gifts and so on. She's so into me during that time.

I'm not sure though if it's the same case even now since we've not seen each other for too long after she left the country. But as you have seen, Candice is like a mushroom. She will just appear anywhere, out of nowhere, without warning, just like now.”

”Are you telling me now that you will go out with her and entertain her in case she still likes you?” Cali was horrified with that idea and she couldn't help but interrogate Rui in a little sharp tone. Cali could feel the throbbing of her heart after she spoke as she suddenly felt scared of Rui's answer.

”Candice has the tendency to be clingy. If she finds out that I'm still not taken even at this time then she will surely pursue me again. I'm actually flattered when such a beauty pursues me, but unfortunately she's not my type... so I will need a girlfriend or better a fiance if she somehow tries to follow me around again.

I have a different taste when it comes to women...” Rui explained, hoping Cali would take the bait. He was also happy Candice was not able to hear all this he spoke else she would definitely not leave him alive.

”My problem now is that I don't have a woman in my life right now… So… I guess like before I will need someone beside me to shoo her away.” Rui added.

”You mean the last time you got rid of her by having someone like a girlfriend?!”

Rui nodded then replied, ”I had a fiance at that time and she was really protective and possessive about me, Candice got scared of her and finally left following me…”

”Fiance? You have a fiance? Where is she now and what happened to your fiance later?” Cali asked and was reminded of the fact that Rui once mentioned he had a special someone in his heart and he was probably pertaining to his fiance.

She really felt uncomfortable talking all those things to him and she was surprised to learn that there were small needles pricking her heart right at that moment thinking about that fiance of her doc.

'Why am I hurting?' Cali confusedly asked herself. She didn't like what she was feeling.

”It's a personal matter Cali and I'm not comfortable talking about her. All I can say is that I don't know why but she… forgot me…”

'She lost her memory and forgot all about me and our love… even our marriage…' Rui wanted to add but it would only complicate things.

He could not even mention he had a wife because that fact would suppress Cali from having feelings towards him thinking he was already married to someone else.
