If Rhett had caught them together, who knows what kind of violent scene he would have caused.
Seeing her stubborn silence, the man's eyes grew even colder, and he jumped to his own furious conclusion.
"So, it's still that guy? That dumb fuck, Norman?"
Taking advantage of his questioning, Kelsey impatiently shoved his hand away from her face, climbing down from him.
"It's not him! But it's none of your business either!"
"At this point, you dare to use that tone with me?" Rhett's voice suddenly slowed, becoming dangerously calm. "Kelsey, you're not a stupid person."
Since she had been brave enough to test his bottom line, she shouldn't have tried to retreat halfway through the test.
Her attempt to pull back just made him feel... agitated. It made an itchy, possessive anger burn under his skin.
Sensing that she had the idea of running away again, Rhett let out a cold, mocking sneer.
