Chapter 362 - Three Hundred And Sixty-two: The Cheater (2/2)

”She's going to stay in my room,”

”What?! No way! There are plenty of rooms around for her to stay, ” Israel refused.

”What do you mean by no way? She's my date,”

”She's your date doesn't entitle you to try anything stupid with her. I might be your friend but I won't stand and watch you harass an unconscious woman - that's so low even for you,”

Julie glared at him, how dare he accuse him ridiculously. He would never do that.

”I just need her where my eyes would be,” So he claimed.

”Fine, then I'll stay too,” Israel insisted

”What?! No way”

Israel stepped closer, ”What do you mean by no way? Don't tell me you had evil intentions towards her from the very start?” he challenged.

Seeing that arguing wouldn't take them anywhere, Julie gave in.

”Fine, you can stay. I'm sure the floor would be comfortable for you,” He said with a hint of sarcasm.

”But tell me…” Julie continued, ”Why are you suddenly interested in Anabelle? She's not the type you usually go for?”

”What about you?” Israel asked him back, standing with his head held high, ”Why are you interested in the girl? She's not the type you go usually for?”

Julie was almost tempted to say he wasn't interested, but that would give Israel the incentive to pursue after the girl and ruin his plans. But he couldn't claim Anabelle was his too since Israel would be looking on to their

”relationship”. So he couldn't keep nor leave her.

Both men began a staredown. In the end, Julie didn't answer, he simply carried the girl to the bed and tucked her in. They said silence spoke volumes. It should be left that way.

Seeing how protective Israel was of Anabelle, Julie didn't dare suggest he should sleep on the other side of the bed. He instead went out to order the maids to move his recliner into the room - that should be comfortable enough without suffering neck and back pain for the night.

When he returned, Julie was treated to the scene of Israel applying an ice pack on Anabelle's bruise. A jealous pang hit him, that should be him applying that treatment - Israel was just fast enough. He fought against the urge to snatch the bag from his friend and continued where he stopped.

Fine, game on. He had been holding back, but since Israel had declared competition, he would go all out from now on. Israel can apply the ice pack all he wants. Moreover, it's not like Anabelle is awake to appreciate his help anyway, he snickered inwardly.

Julie knew the way to win a woman over. Once the sun comes up tomorrow, he'd wake up before his competitor and cook her a meal. Girls always fell for guys who can cook, he would awe her with his great cooking skills. Muhaha!

With that thought in mind, Julie went to bed with a delighted expression. Early the next morning, before the cock could crow six in the morning or the maids to start their morning duties, Julie, the young master of the house, had begun to make himself useful in the kitchen.

By the time the maids came to the kitchen, they were stunned out of their minds. What were they seeing? Did the sunrise in the west today? The old man would have been so happy to see this if he hadn't traveled for business.

Meanwhile, Anabelle woke up groggily with a body full of pain. What the hell was wrong with her? It was almost as if she was run over by a truck? Gosh, her head was killing her.

”Are you okay?”

Anabelle was startled and looked to the source of the voice.

”What the hell?”

It finally dawned on her that this wasn't her place and what was Israel even doing here.

”What did you do to me?!” Anabelle shot up to her foot without warning. However, she stood up too quickly and dizziness overwhelmed her; she was falling.

Israel saw what happened and came to her rescue. Unfortunately, he miscalculated her weight and stance because both landed on the floor with him taking the brunt of the fall.

”What beautiful eyes,” Anabelle muttered, spellbound by the face staring back at her. Why didn't she notice he was this handsome earlier?

Unfortunately, the door clicked open and Julie walked in on them in that compromising position.

”You cheater!”
