Chapter 21 Perhaps, maybe I can Marry You?

“You are not tired? Are you sure, sweetie? Then we can continue to do something more?” Trevor said to Layla, who was then speechless.

In fact, Trevor only scared her, for he knew that Layla was already exhausted.

 But when he found her frightened out of her wits, he stopped teasing her.

Biting her lips and hanging her head in dismay, Layla knew that she could not win over her. She then decided to give up. 

She humbled herself before Trevor and said in tears, “It was my fault. I should not curse you, and I shouldn’t mess up your apartment. But, you’ve already punished me for many times. Would you please let me go?”

“For all that I have destroyed in your apartment, just offer me the price. I will definitely try all my best to compensate you for your loss. But now, I am really in need of this job, so I cannot be late. 

“Would you please set me free, ok?” implored Layla though she was totally unaware of her destructive power. 

Trevor felt a little heart-broken by Layla’s words, but, he soon showed her an indifferent look with an ironic tone, “Pay me back? You? Then do you know how much money you should pay? Those broken things are even more expensive than you!”

“Then tell me the price. Though I cannot afford to pay for that now, I can pay you back by instalment. Anyway, I will definitely pay you back all.” Layla said determinedly, being unaware of her words irritating Trevor.

His eyes blazing with anger, Trevor had never thought about her payment. 

However, since Layla insisted on settling accounts with him, he then would not take it carelessly. 

“The sofas were privately hand-made, and they were transported from Europe by air. With taking accounts of the freight, the sofas cost at least around 70 million. In addition to that, the dirty carpet may cost about 10 million, then there was a TV, a PC…” 

On hearing the prices, Layla was really unwilling to pay him back. 

How could she have expected that it would cost so much money for what she had destroyed? 

Unwilling to listen to him anymore, she interrupted Trevor directly and said, “You don’t have to tell me one by one. Just tell me the total price.”

”“Fine, I make a round sum and make a discount for you. It’s 300 million in total. F-Y-I, dollars.” 

Finishing saying that, Trevor was waiting to watch her reaction to this exorbitant price. 

Counting on her fingers for calculating her wages, Layla whispered to herself in a low voice, “I will get 20,000 a year,then 200,000 ten years. No. It will be a little more than that after I become a regular waitress. Then, the wages will be…”

“Come on. As a waitress? You can never afford it for a lifetime.” Trevor interrupted her and took her in his arms, speaking to her gently, “What about being my mistress since I am into you now? 

“It’s 100,000 a day. Only 8 years, then you can pay my money back. After that, Besides, if you’re cute, I will give you extra bonus. How about it? A good deal, isn’t it?”

Pushing Trevor away, Layla said, “Hey! No matter how poor I am, I will never sell myself. At present, I am paid very low wages, but I will definitely get a pay rise from the hotel if I work hard. 

“And I will be able to open a store to be the boss myself. So, do not underestimate me!”  

Upon seeing the little girl serious expression on her face, Trevor unaccountably could not help but laughing. 

“Hey, what are you laughing at?”

Shaking his head, Trevor stepped out of the bathtub. 

Layla immediately turned away, for she did not want to see the horrid guy! Trevor seemingly also mind that. Standing in front of Layla, he said, “You’re so cute! Come on, girl, opening a store is not that easy. But you are so cute with that idea.

300 million! Even if there were 100 Layla working together, they could never achieve so much money for a lifetime.”

“Then, fine! I will risk my reputation to sue you if you won’t let me go! Then you will be arrested.” Her eyes blazing with anger, Layla seemed to make a firm decision. 

“Sue me? You think you can walk out of the room without my permission?” 

“You joined a gang?” Layla’s eyes were popped. She always supposed that such a thing could only happen in TV dramas. 

“Not really. I just have some acquaintances. I help them gain profits, and in turn, they are willing to do something for me.” 

Raising his eyebrows and with a pondering expression, Trevor fixed his eyes on 

Layla’s astonishing look. 

Biting her lip, Layla stared back at Trevor, saying, “Then what do you want me to do? Whatever you say, absolutely, I will not be your mistress.”

“Don’t wanna be my mistress? Sure, then what about being my little pet. Well, 

you’re quite to my taste. You will definitely profit if you are together with me.” 

While saying to Layla, Trevor took her in arms again. 

But Layla frowned on hearing his words. Turning her eyes, she deliberately said, “I will not be your mistress. Neither will be your little pet. But if you are really into me, marry me. 

“If not, then let me go right now! From then on, we are over! Even if we could come across with each other, we should act as if we did not see each other. It’s an either-or choice. Then make a decision!”

Layla believed that guy would never possibly marry her. That’s why she dared to say so. 

She was a nobody with no money or power, not to mention talent or high academic background. 

These dandies from rich or honorable families, like Trevor, were usually womanizers. 

But, considering their marriage, they would undoubtedly choose a marriage that would bring commercial benefits. 

Ultimately, they would all choose daughters from families of similar backgrounds as their wives. 

Annoyed by the pressure of getting married from his family, Trevor was irritated about Layla’s words. He then spoke to her recklessly, “Good! Since you’re so desperate to be my wife, I have no other choices, but maybe I could then marry you.”

“Ugh! Tell me another! Yuck!” Layla turned away as she was scornful about his words. 

“Believe it or not! Come on!” without saying more words, Trevor grasped her and took her into the bedroom as if she were as light as a chicken. 

Throwing her a set of prepared women’s clothes, he hurried her, “Hurry up! Put on the clothes!”

After both of them finishing dressing up, Trevor took Layla hand in hand downstairs to the underground parking by taking his VIP lift. 

Trevor pushed Layla into the co-driver seat, “Babe, take your seat!”

“Wait, where are you going to take me?” Layla felt somewhat terrified for fear that she would be kidnapped by this old goat. 

“Go to get married, of course!” Trevor started his luxury roadster but he drove in a quiet slow speed due to the morning rush on the road. 

“Are you kidding me? You come from a rich and honorable family. How can you make a decision on your marriage all by yourself? You parents will definitely not agree.” 

Layla somewhat worried, for she was not willing to marry this devil guy. 

“Shut up!” Annoyed by the traffic jam, Trevor did not want to listen to Layla's prattle at all right now. 

“Hey, I am totally unwilling to marry you…” Layla had not even finished yet while Trevor braked sharply. 

Sadly, he met another red light again. 

“Ouch! It hurts!” Layla knocked her head on the windscreen again. “Hey, you devil! Can you drive? So bad driving! You get your driver’s license by cheating?””

Trevor flew into a rage all of a sudden, for no one ever dared to doubt his driving skills. 

He had never lost in any street race that he attained. “Don’t you know to fasten your seat belt while taking a car?”

“What? Isn’t it only the driver who fastens the seat belt? I am not the driver but a passenger only!” With her head in her hands, Layla looked confused. 

But her words made Trevor so depressed. 

As the president of Moore Group, he could have never expected to be her driver! Besides, how could she be so stupid without any knowledge of such common sense to fasten the seat belt! 

While red light was on, Trevor helped her to fasten her seat belt and said, “Keep it in mind that a passenger should also have her seat belt fastened. It’s common sense.”

Feeling a little bit embarrassed, Layla explained, “Actually, I’ve never taken a private car. I always take the bus or subway, which don’t need to fasten a seat belt.”

“Marry me, then you can often take a private car. But if you forget to fasten the seat belt once again, you will get punishment, little girl,” said Trevor. 

Noticing the traffic light turned green, he took a deep step on the gas and continuously overtook other vehicles on the traffic jam. 

“Trevor, I will not marry you!”

“It is you who let me to make a choice. I already chose to marry you.”

“I’ve not agreed yet!”

“But I agreed. It’ done.”

“No, definitely not!”

“You don’t have the right to refuse and actually you cannot succeed in refusing me. You little monkey! You could not free yourself of my control.”

“You are the monkey! It’s you, you, you!”

Finally, the Lamborghini stopped at the Marriage Registration Office, the place for registering and legitimizing one’s marriage. “Get off. You don’t wait for me to open the car door for you, do you? Do you think you are worth it?”

“I do not know how to unfasten the seat belt!” said Layla with an innocent expression on her face.

“You won!” Trevor helped her with the belt, saying, “Got it?”

“Yes!” nodded Layla obsequiously. 

“Try it again.” Trevor then fastened the belt again. 

“It doesn’t work again!” Layla was totally confused. 

“You stupid! Press here and it will automatically be unlocked.” Out of patience, Trevor wondered why he would have such an ignorant wife. 

“Huh, truly it opened!” Layla found it so wonderful and tried over and over again. Watching the little girl playing with the belt, Trevor can’t hold back a smile

“Enough, humph?” Trevor finally could not control himself anymore and he shouted, “If enough, then get off the car!”

“But… but I can’t open the door, either. Really, I don’t lie to you.” Touching here and there on the car door, Layla did not manage to open the door. 

“You’ll drive me crazy!” Leaving his driver’s seat and walking around to the co-driver’s side, Trevor opened the door and pulled Layla out of his car. After that, he slammed the door as if the action would take all his rages away.
