Female Novel
Chapter 198
Catherine's POV
After I finished breakfast, I planned to ask Gina about the origin of the necklace.
I had a big fight with Gina at the launch yesterday. However, we had made a deal. Therefore, I shouldstill fulfill it.
I called Gina on the way, and she picked up.
"What is it?" Gina played innocent.
"What do you think? Don't you think you owe me an explanation about my necklace?" I hated herpretentious tone. We had reached an agreement. Was she going to act shamelessly now?
"Come to me, and I'll tell you." Gina said.
I drove to the five-star hotel Gina mentioned. After parking the car, I quickly ran to the elevator in thehall.
I was very anxious, since I wanted to know the truth badly.
When I came to the luxurious private room on the top floor, I saw that the door was not locked. So, Ireached out and pushed the door open.
After walking in, I heard someone close the door behind me.
I reacted and pounced instinctively to unlock the door. However, the door was firmly locked.
I shouted angrily, "Gina, what are you up to now? Open the door! Now!"
The person outside held the door tightly without answering me.
I was so furious that I kicked the door twice. But it only made my toes painful.
"Gina, I am warning you! If you dare to play any more tricks, I will..."
"Cathy..." Just as I was about to warn Gina, I heard someone calling my name from behind.
I turned my head at once and saw Harley. His face was flushed, and his eyes were red. He used one ofhis hands to prop against the bedroom door while looking at me.
"Harley? Why are you here?" I was stunned. I did not expect that there was a man in the room, and theman was Harley no less.
"Cathy, is it you? Am I dreaming?" Harley walked quickly to me. His face was full of joy, and his gazewas full of strong emotions and desires.
I took a step back in panic. I asked, "What happened to you? Are you sick? You are burning up!"
Harley suddenly grabbed my hand which was reaching out to touch his forehead. The next second, hepulled me into his arms.
He hugged me tightly with both his hands. "You are here. It's really you. I am not dreaming. I'm so gladyou are here."
"Don't be like this, Harley. Let go of me!" I trembled with fear. I didn't expect him to suddenly hug me.Moreover, he was already kissing my neck.
He loosened his grip and said, "I'm feeling very uncomfortable. I don't know what's wrong with me. Ifeel even more uncomfortable looking at you now."
"It's Gina... Were you with her yesterday?" I was very clear-headed.
When I saw Harley here, I suspected Gina. Looking at Harley's appearance, I was even more certainthat Harley was set up by Gina.
Harley pressed his head and pondered. He said, "I was drinking with my friend. I didn't see Gina.Cathy, why are you bringing her up again? Don't you hate her?"
"She asked me to be here. It must have something to do with her!"
I said angrily, "Harley, hold on for a moment. I'll call someone now!"
After I finished speaking, I took out my phone and wanted to call Blake for help.
However, when I took out my phone, I found that there was no signal.
What was going on? Was it Gina again?
I was stunned. I felt like I fell into Gina's trap.novelbin
I gave up on calling and turned around to knock on the door. However, just as I was about to do it,Harley, who was behind me, pressed tightly against me again.
"Cathy, let me hug you once more. I'm feeling so uncomfortable. Cathy, I like you. I've always liked you.Can't you feel it? I know I'm not a match for Blake, but I love you! Can't you consider me?"
I was hugged by Harley from behind. I was so anxious that I did not feel the instinctive fear.
Harley didn't mean to hurt me. He was drugged and couldn't control himself. The most important thingnow was to detoxify Harley.
Suddenly, an idea hit me. He should take a cold shower!
I thought it was a good idea.
Thus, I quickly pried open his fingers with mine. "Harley, pull yourself together. Let go of me!"
Harley was muddleheaded. He hugged me and said, "Cathy, I won't let go. I will never let go. I loveyou!"
"Not now! You can't do this. Otherwise, Gina will get her way! Let go of me!" I knew it was useless toreason with him now.
His force of will was getting weaker, and in the end, perhaps he would lose control totally and becomeas scary as Blake was five years ago.
Some images flashed through my brain quickly. I found that my blurred memories from five years agoseemed to have been clear for a moment.
"Cathy, don't be so cold to me. I'm not feeling well. Can you help me?"
"Harley, if you continue to be like this, I'll be angry!" I warned him loudly on purpose, hoping it wouldwork.
"I like the way you look when you are angry."
"Then I'm sorry!" I lowered my head, opened my mouth, and bit his arm.
As expected, the pain woke him up a little. He loosened his grip, and I took the opportunity to run awayfrom him.
I quickly ran into the bathroom. I filled the bathtub with cold water while holding a basin.
I came out with a basin of water and splashed it fiercely at Harley, who was rushing at me.
Under the stimulation of the cold water, Harley woke up. He gasped for breath and leaned against thewall, looking at me in pain. "Cathy, you splashed water on me? Do you hate me that much?"
"Harley, do you have any idea what you're going to do to me? You're not that kind of person. Wake up.Don't walk into her trap!" I shouted at him angrily.
Harley sat down on the ground. "Cathy, if you don't have feelings for me, just tell me. I can handle it."
I smiled bitterly, "Harley, you know you and I are impossible."
"Yes. Because you gave birth to two kids for Blake!" Harley looked at me with sadness. "You have twokids. Who am I to compete with him? Cathy, I'm so miserable."
"Harley, help me out here. Let's go inside and put yourself in cold water, OK? You can't continue to belike this." I grabbed his arm and tried to drag him up from the ground.
