Ramon approached Hailee and he could see how reluctant the girl looked. Of course Ramon wasn’t stupid, he didn’t need his memory to know that Hailee had lied about their relationship.

Never mind being lovers, Hailee couldn’t even act as if they had known each other for two years. This girl couldn’t even lie properly.

But, the question was; Why?

Why would Hailee want to lie to Ramon and his family? What was this girl’s goal? At one glance, Hailee didn’t seem like a girl with bad intentions, but still, no one can guess for sure what exactly was hidden in a person’s heart.

Ramon moved closer and smiled when he saw Hailee closing her eyes tightly.

If other people saw her expression right now, they would think that Ramon was going to hit her instead of wanting to kiss her.

Ignoring Hailee who seemed uncomfortable with their closeness, Ramon grabbed the side of her face and pulled her closer. In fact, Hailee’s small movements could not escape Ramon’s sharp gaze.

Hailee was about to pull away, but then calmed down and relaxed.

In the next second, Ramon landed a kiss on Hailee’s right cheek and let her go, leaning back against the head of the bed.

Even though Ramon didn’t know what actually made Hailee lie, he wouldn’t let this girl go that easily. Ramon would eventually find out who Hailee really was along with her background.

But, not in his current condition. Ramon needed time to rest and recover.

So, for the time being, he was willing to play around the play Hailee is planning, buying time so this girl didn’t get suspicious and take a thousand steps back immediately.

“I want to eat seafood,” said Ramon lightly.

On the other hand, Hailee is still stunned while holding her cheek. Ramon just kissed her cheek? It’s not…

No! No! No!

Hailee couldn’t possibly hope that they’d actually kiss, right? With this thought, she could feel her face warm up.

“Hey!” Ramon rebuked Hailee for not being attentive enough to respond back to him.

“Hah?” Hailee stuttered and turned her head to look at Ramon, his expression was no longer cold and creepy this time. How could this man’s mood change so quickly? Was it not a few seconds ago that he was so adamant about proving that Hailee wasn’t his girlfriend?

“What?” Hailee asked the man.

“I said, I want to eat seafood.” Ramon repeated his words impatiently.

Automatically, Hailee got out of the chair quickly, like an inmate just released from prison. “OK!” she said quickly.

But, Hailee had only taken four steps when she remembered something and turned around to face Ramon with a frown.

“But, you can’t eat seafood just yet,” Hailee said softly.

“Who says it?” Ramon looked at Hailee defiantly.

“Doctor,” she replied.

“Is he here?”

Hailee shook her head.

“Then I can eat whatever I want.”

Hailee still didn’t move to go buy the food Ramon asked for.

“If you don’t want to go, I’ll go myself.” While saying that, Ramon moved in an attempt to get out of bed, but then Hailee stopped him frantically.

“Alright, alright, I’ll buy it!” exclaimed Hailee with a little annoyance.

“Then what are you waiting for?” Ramon raised an eyebrow and lay back down on the bed, staring at Hailee’s back, who was stomping her foot excessively.

On the other hand, Hailee couldn’t help thinking about Ramon’s wish, this wasn’t the first time he had asked for something that the Doctor had forbidden.

“Never mind, later he will be sick himself, let me see his suffering face later,” grumbled Hailee, but Ramon shouted behind her.

“I heard that!”

Hearing Ramon’s words, Hailee rushed out of the room and didn’t return for the next four hours, leaving Ramon to wait in annoyance.

***

After two weeks of intensive care and going through several tests, Ramon was finally allowed to go home with a note; he must do a therapy routine, three times a week.

Even though Ramon didn’t seem to like the idea, he agreed in the end and tomorrow will be the day of his discharge, therefore, Hailee took the initiative to tidy up her personal belongings and passed time until their dinner was delivered.

“You don’t have to do that, someone will do it later,” Ramon said, keeping his eyes fixed on the important documents on his lap.

Lexus brought them all to Ramon because this brother of his kept asking questions about the company and would not stop until his wishes were fulfilled.

Although Lexus had said time and time again that the company had had a very significant development under Ramon’s cold hands over the past four years, Ramon still didn’t believe it until he could see the evidence for himself.

Hailee just glanced at Ramon and didn’t say anything, but didn’t stop to pack up either.

After about two weeks with Ramon, there was one thing that Hailee realized about this man, above the many things she didn’t like, namely; Ramon was a control freak.

He would want to control whatever was around him and wanted everything to go according to his expectations and desires.

Maybe in a business environment, having that kind of personality was a plus, but not in everyday life.

Unfortunately, Ramon didn’t realize that and his vices didn’t stop there.

Ramon was a clear example of a person who had a perfectionist personality, coupled with his OCPD (obsessive compulsive personality disorder), it only got added to the list of several annoying Ramon traits that Hailee didn’t like.

Hailee didn’t know anymore how should she describe an extreme perfectionist like Ramon, even Lexus will sometimes shake his head when facing this brother of his.

Luckily, however, with Lexus’ easy-going nature, this would appear as if they were both complimenting each other in terms of behavior.

Besides, this guy was super attractive and pleasing to the eye, it was no wonder he was one of the most sought after bachelors, so even though Ramon is a bit annoying, Hailee could take the positives and ignore the negatives easily, since she really need the protection from the Tordoffs.

“Can’t you stop pacing in front of me?” said Ramon, irritated. Hailee couldn’t stop moving around and this made him dizzy, because like it or not, Ramon would follow her every move.

“Can you not get angry for a day?” Hailee replied, not any less annoyed. Whatever Hailee did was always wrong in Ramon’s eyes.

It seemed that whatever Hailee would have to face later, will be much more tiring while challenging her patience at the same time.
