Chapter 479 Luck With The Ladies
After work, Oscar saw a black figure running toward him at blazing speed. He instinctively sprang into a defensive position and evaded the figure’s embrace. He wanted to return with a kick but stopped upon hearing her voice. “Oscar.”
Oscar frowned as a flash of frustration and coldness appeared in his eyes.
“Cassie, enough!” Oscar reprimanded her.
Cassie, on the other hand, was enraptured as she inched closer to Oscar. She could not contain her excitement. At the thought of something, she shyly played with her hair and asked, “Oz, you’re getting off work?”
Oscar was obviously impatient and vexed. “Cassie, I don’t have time for games. Look for someone else to entertain you if you’re bored. Stop showing up in front of me.”
Oscar turned around and walked away. He did not want to spend even an additional second being around Cassie.
Cassie ran toward Oscar’s front and blocked him in his path. Her hands were trembling out of nervousness as she was looking at Oscar at a close distance. Immediately, her face blushed.
It had been a year and a half since they last met. However, the moment she caught sight of Oscar, it was clear to her that her feelings toward him had never changed.
Cassie swallowed a lump in her throat and said in an anxious tone, “Oscar, I missed you so much. I apologize for all those arguments that we had last time. Is it true that you sent me back to the hotel last night after I was drunk? I owe you big time. I know that you still love me, right? I want to treat you to a meal as my token of appreciation for what you did for me last night.”
“How childish,” Oscar replied curtly.
He moved aside in order to walk past her. However, Cassie followed him closely behind, refusing to leave him alone.
Oscar opened the car door, and Cassie immediately dashed into the passenger seat. Then she shamelessly put on the seatbelt.
Oscar got in the driver’s seat and said, “Get out.”
Cassie, however, refused to budge, and she was adamant about staying.
Oscar was irritated by Cassie’s stubbornness. Before he could get out of the car, Cassie said, “Oscar, if you leave, I’ll wait for you at your company every day. Since I’m no longer playing the violin or managing the company, I have ample time.”
Oscar hesitated. He glanced at Cassie coldly and said, “What are you trying to do? Speak your mind.”
Cassie merely looked at Oscar in an infatuated manner. Although he was clearly annoyed, she was still attracted by his good looks.
“Oscar, it’s been a long time since we’ve last met. You’re still handsome as ever! I really regret leaving you at the altar seven years ago. I must be crazy! If not, I wouldn’t have left you!” Cassie harked back to those days. “Oscar, my happiest memories are with you. For the past two years, I’ve been suffering at the thought of losing you. I dreamed about you so many times, but I have to force myself to forget about you, and it was unsuccessful. I’ve been drinking a lot to numb myself. If you didn’t send me back to the hotel last night, I wouldn’t have had the courage to find you. After last night, I realize that I cannot move on from you.”
“Are you done?”
Cassie was not affected by Oscar’s aloof reaction. She muttered, “Oscar, I want to treat you to a meal. Would you accept my invitation?”
Oscar looked at her glacially. “Cassie, don’t make me hate you even more.”
Cassie stilled for a moment before she broke into a smile.
“Oscar, for the past two years I’ve picked up the habit of drinking and partying at nightclubs. If you don’t like it, I will stop. I know I’ve slept with a lot of random men, but I will change. Just give me a chance.”
“I have no interest in knowing anything about you. However, I do need a favor from you.” Cassie’s eyes were full of hope. “Please get out of my car.”
Cassie’s face fell.
“If you have a meal with me, I promise I’ll leave,” Cassie swore.
“I don’t feel like eating with you,” Oscar said ruthlessly.
“If you don’t, I’ll continue pestering you every day. If you want me to leave you alone, then have a meal with me,” Cassie threatened shamelessly.
Oscar laughed in exasperation.
Cassie stared at him dazedly, saying nothing.
“Cassie, I thought you would have become smarter after all these years, but you’re still the same. You are still as thick-skinned as ever.” Oscar put on a straight face. “I don’t have time to play games with you. If you like waiting in front of my company, then suit yourself!”
Oscar pushed open the car door and got out, and Cassie quickly followed suit.
“Oscar, wait for me.” Cassie chased after him. Oscar took out his phone and started dialing a number. “Hugo, get Jean to drag this woman away. From now on, she is not allowed to get anywhere near me.”
After that, he promptly hung up.
Cassie hugged Oscar from the back like a koala bear.
“Let go!” Oscar was fuming. He wanted to shake her off, but she refused to let go. “I said let go!”
“No! It took a lot of courage for me to come and look for you. It was wrong of me to run away from our marriage seven years ago. But when I came looking for you two years ago, you hurt me too! I even lost my ability to give birth. I suffered more than you, but I couldn’t bring myself to hate you. I think we can start over. Please give me a chance! Don’t be so cruel to me!” Cassie choked out.
Oscar forcefully pried her hand away, but she quickly hugged him again.
At that moment, a shadow dashed across them and grabbed Cassie’s hand. “Boss, do you want me to chop her hand off?”
“Just drag her away from me,” Oscar said indignantly.
Jean forcefully dragged Cassie away. However, Cassie reacted as though she had experienced some kind of trauma. “Leave me alone. Don’t touch me! She’s molesting me! I’m being robbed!”
Jean’s face twitched a little. It was her first time witnessing someone as shameless as Cassie causing a scene in public for a man. If the two of them were to be in the same room, she would have already jumped on the man.
“Wow, what a good show. Looks like I came at a very bad time.” A female voice could be heard.
Oscar and Jean looked in the direction of the voice and saw Amelia standing about three meters away from them.
Oscar was stunned, and he swiftly let go of Cassie.
“Amelia, why are you here?” Oscar stuttered. He pointed at Cassie, who had fallen to the ground. “Amelia, she is not… I have nothing to do with her… We are…”
Amelia couldn’t help but chuckle. She walked toward Oscar’s and teased him, “Oscar, speak about luck with the ladies. Aren’t you happy that a pretty lady just threw herself at you?”
Oscar felt wronged but, at the same time, amused.
“Honey, you know I was being harassed,” Oscar said in a cutesy manner. “I feel so dirty having been touched by her. You must make it up to me later when we get back home.”
“How can I make it up to you? I think Ms. Yard will be more than happy to serve you.”
The two of them started showing off their affection.
Jean quietly excused herself, leaving as quickly as she came.
“Amelia.” Cassie struggled to stand up. She stared ferociously at the woman who had just ruined her plans.
“Ms. Yard, nice to meet you. I see that you’re finally sober now. Last night you were bickering with me before you passed out. It was I who sent you back to the hotel and took care of you. However, it was not a pleasant experience to have vomit all over me. It’s good that you’re fine. I was even worried that something bad might happen to you,” Amelie said in a friendly manner as if she was oblivious to Cassie’s murderous stare.
