Chapter 150: Ajax’s teasing (2)
As soon as she finished speaking, the enforcer paused and then burst out laughing. He bent double while clutching the box in his hands. "You—you really know how to joke."
"Who told you that I am joking?" Inez rolled her eyes as she opened the door and headed inside the lodge. She heard the sound of footsteps behind her and thought that the man was going to leave the box that held the crabs and leave her alone, but contrary to her expectations, the man followed her inside.
Pausing in her stride, she turned to look at Ajax. she stood still and shot him a fuck off glare. The last thing she wanted was to deal with him when she had already had enough things to think over. That was what Inez did. Whenever she was faced with a situation she couldn’t handle, she would stay alone for a while, think things over and get her thoughts straight before facing the problems.
She might act like an ostrich sometimes, but once she was determined to deal with it, she would do it without a hitch.
And Ajax’s presence was putting a serious halt to her pondering session.
"Just tell me what you want from me?" Inez asked. With her arms crossed in front, she said, "I don’t think you came here to bond with me, did you?"
"That’s the thing," said Ajax as he moved close to her, but not close enough to put Inez on her guard. "I wanted to talk a little with you."
"For what?" Inez asked as she sank into one of the armchairs.
"Don’t tell me you expected no one to bother you after what happened between you and Killian?"
