Overflowing Hidden Feelings: This CEO Is Hard to Please!
Chapter 227 - 227 Brother-in-law 4

Chapter 227: Brother-in-law 4 Chapter 227: Brother-in-law 4 Arnold Johnson reached out, trying to hold Victoria Garcia’s hand.

But just as his hand was halfway there, Victoria pulled her hand away, her rejection was obvious.

At this moment, Victoria didn’t have the energy to think about Arnold’s feelings. All she knew was that she was desperately suppressing her emotions. She was afraid that if he touched any part of her body, she would explode in anger.

The melodious piano music did not bring comfort, on the contrary, it made the atmosphere even more oppressive.

The supposedly enjoyable dinner had turned into the present state because of Kaelin Johnson’s appearance, and Arnold couldn’t help but feel frustrated.

Just as Arnold was trying to figure out how to ease the tension, the waiter brought their steaks.

“Please enjoy, if there’s anything you find unsatisfactory, feel free to tell me.” After saying this, the waiter gracefully walked away from the table.

Looking at the tempting steak in front of her, Victoria had no appetite at all.

She couldn’t help but think of the day he made her a steak on the plane, and the fact that someone had called him brother-in-law. These two conflicting feelings made the gap in her heart reach its peak at this moment.

Which Arnold Johnson was the real one?

Victoria regretted changing her original intention. Hadn’t they agreed to be lovers, each taking what they needed? Why had she changed her mind?

She looked at Arnold, who was silently cutting his steak into small pieces with a knife and setting them aside.

In no time, he placed his half-cut steak in front of Victoria, and then took her untouched steak back to his side.

“Eat it while it’s hot, it won’t taste good when it’s cold,” Arnold gently comforted her.

Such a scene would surely have made many oblivious young girls envious.

Victoria knew she shouldn’t be angry.

She picked up a fork, put a piece of steak in her mouth, and tasted it. The taste was dull and unappetizing, like chewing on wax.

Seeing her head down in silence, Arnold put down his knife and fork, thinking that he should go over to her.

Before he could move, Victoria put down her fork and said coldly, “I’m a little tired. I’ll go back and rest.”

Without looking at Arnold’s expression, she stood up and headed to the elevator.

Seeing this, Arnold immediately followed.

Victoria walked quickly, and just when Arnold was about to catch her hand, a waiter with a tray appeared, creating some distance between them.

Missing her by just a bit, Victoria got into the elevator and immediately pressed the close door button.

When Arnold arrived, the elevator door was closing. He slammed his fist against the elevator door in frustration. No matter what he did, he had to wait for the elevator to come back up.

Fortunately, his luck wasn’t bad, and the elevator door next to him opened quickly.

When he arrived downstairs, Victoria was not far ahead of him.

As Arnold chased after her, a taxi stopped at Victoria’s waving spot.

Just as Victoria was about to open the car door, Arnold grabbed the door and prevented her from getting in.

“Let go of me if you’re not sick!” Victoria’s voice was not friendly.

Arnold replied in a low tone, “I’d only be sick if I let you go.”

“Miss, are you getting in the car or not?” The taxi driver impatiently asked.

Before Victoria could say anything, Arnold replied, “No.”

The taxi driver became even more impatient and snapped, “If you’re sick, just say so!”

With that, he sped off in the taxi…
