Eugene replied, “I’ve arranged for a professional to teach you everything you need to know. No one knows everything from the get-go.”
A raging fire surged inside Azalea because she was fed up with Eugene’s cold treatment and everything was different from her plan. Her aim was never to learn how to manage a company.
She stared into his eyes and questioned, “Then, why don’t you teach me? Why don’t you let me work at Nolan Group? What are you afraid of, Eugene? Are you afraid your girlfriend might misunderstand us, or do you have a guilty conscience? You keep saying I saved your life, but is this how you should treat your savior? Has my presence bothered you and your girlfriend? Or is your girlfriend so petty that she doesn’t allow you to have female friends?” Eugene frowned. “Princess Azalea-*
But she forcefully cut him off. “Can’t you just call me ‘Azalea? Why do you have to call me ‘Princess?’ Don’t you think it’s a fuss?”
Eugene suddenly felt like he didn’t recognize him anymore and approached her. “Then, what do you suppose I do? Let you join Nolan Group so you can be with me every day?”
The man’s strong oppression enveloped Azalea, and she argued, “Is there anything wrong with that? I won’t do anything to you. Why are you so defensive against me?”
Eugene rebuked, “Keeping a woman with thoughts about me by my side is giving her a chance. Azalea, I think of you as my friend and am grateful that you saved my life. You can ask for anything besides my feelings, and I’ve told you before I love my girlfriend and will give her a sense of security. So, keeping you by my side is an insult to her!”
Azalea smiled, but her smile seemed pitiful and hopeless. However, her tone still sounded challenging. “Is she worried you might fall in love with me?”
With his hands in his pockets, Eugene still looked calm and collected. “I will never fall in love with another person besides Olivia. You can take some time off if you don’t want to work and tell me if you need money.”
After a mocking chuckle, Azalea asked, “Trying to be my sugar daddy?” Eugene retorted, “You’re my savior, so it’s reasonable that I provide for you.”
Tears ran down Azalea’s face while he looked at him pitifully. “Is my saving grace the only thing you feel for me?”
While staring at her, he spoke coldly. “What were you hoping for?” “I thought you would feel distressed, in debt to me, and want to compensate me. But I never thought you would push me away. When you randomly found a cab to send me away, I should have known that my life was incomparable to Olivia’s feelings and that you’re a heartless man!”
Eugene’s frown deepened. “That was an accident. How would I know the cab driver would dare to get handsy with the princess? That matter is still under investigation, and I will give you an explanation.”
After a sneer, Azalea rebuked, “Still under investigation? What’s there to investigate? That driver couldn’t keep it in his pants and tried to rape me but broke his leg while escaping. Everything’s crystal clear, so what are you still investigating? Are you suggesting it was someone else’s plan so that you can put the blame on others? I didn’t even ask you to take responsibility for this matter. Isn’t this too exaggerated?”
He frowned. “I’m not trying to blame anyone. I told you. You can ask me for any sort of repayment.”
Azalea approached him while looking at him tauntingly. “I don’t want anything besides you. If you I can’t give me that, you’ll be in debt to me forever!”
