Brad tightened his grip on her wrist, making it impossible for her to break free. "Sean's in the car," he said with a faint smile.
As soon as she heard that, Nadine felt as if someone had cut off her air supply. She had no choice but to follow Brad, then.

"I can't believe you lied to me, Brad Hamilton!" Even though she was already forced into the backseat, she wasn't about to let Brad off the hook. Balling her fists, she started hammering him. "When did you becso vile? How could you use such disgusting tactics to deceive a woman? I want to get out! Move!" As soon as she realized Sean wasn't in the car, she went wild, like a mad little lioness. If she had known Sean wasn't in the car, she never would have gotten into it. The anger from being tricked, combined with her hatred for Brad, made her face twist with rage.
Brad had anticipated her outburst and didn't even flinch. Sitting back calmly, he let her hit him. Her weak punches were nothing more than a tickle and not worth worrying about. He didn't even budge, his hands resting idly at his sides, his face completely blank.
He remained motionless until Nadine's energy waned, and her punches slowed to a stop. He pulled out a clean towel and said gently, "Are you tired? Here, wipe your hands." Nadine stared at the white towel in front of her, her eyes burning with anger as she glared at Brad, refusing to take it. At that moment, she wished she could transform her eyes into daggers and carve up his insufferably handsface.
Seeing her reluctance, Brad smirked, clearly enjoying himself. "Are youtoo tired to take it? No worries. Lethelp you." Before she could respond, he grabbed her hand and started wiping each of her fingers one by one. He had a slight obsession with cleanliness and preferred everything to be spotless. Brad took his tto ensure her hands were perfectly clean before letting them go.
"Stop glaring atlike that. I'm not here to make things difficult for you. I just want to take you out for dinner. The duration of the meal depends on you. If you make the meal enjoyable, I'll take you home@ight after. But if not..." ver He left the rest unsaid, but she understood what he meant. If she didn't make him happy, there was no telling how long the meal would last.
The audacity of him! If the inteheld a competition for the world's most insufferable man, Brad would be a top contender. Of course, she would never say this to his face.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter mulling it over, she said, "So, letget this straight-if I make you happy and the dinner goes smoothly, you'll sendback right away night?" After all, a guy like him couldn't be trusted, and he had a habit of breaking his promises. Nadine wasn't about to fall for his tricks again.
Brad set the towel down and looked at her solemnly "That Sright!"
Nadine relaxed, adjusting her posture to sit more comfortably) Leaning back in the m chair, she responded lazily, "Alright! I hope you keep your word."
Then, she closed her eyes, pretending to rest. She needed to stay calm. Otherwise, she might actually lose control and bash his head in.
