Howard knew that Cherry Miller was aware of what he'd done to her.
Howard had been waiting for Cherry Miller to retaliate.
But several days passed, and Cherry Miller made no move.
This made Howard even more uneasy.
After a few encounters with Cherry Miller, Howard was certain she wasn't someone to be messed with—definitely not a pushover.
He'd screwed Cherry Miller over so badly; there was no way she'd just let him off the hook.
Howard wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.
But Cassie Kofi kept stalling, refusing to make a move.
Howard was anxious.
He kept feeling like there was a storm brewing beneath the calm surface, ready to explode at any moment.
So today, he had to talk to Cassie Kofi—no matter what, they needed to get back home as soon as possible.
"What is it?" Cassie Kofi looked at Howard, clearly annoyed. She hated being interrupted.
"Cassie, we've been here way too long. It's time to go back." Howard said, "You promised me you'd go back with me, that we'd live a good life together. Cassie, I won't tell anyone what happened here. You don't have to worry about anything. I'll treat you like a treasure, be good to you for the rest of my life."
Cassie Kofi replied impatiently, "If you want to go, go by yourself. I'm not leaving!"
Are you kidding me?
She'd finally met Lexi Le, and hadn't won him over yet—how could she leave now?
If she left, what would happen to Lexi Le?
She'd bet two cucumbers that a guy as gorgeous as Lexi Le had tons of women chasing after him.
If she missed her chance, she'd regret it for the rest of her life!
"Cassie! You promised me!" Howard looked at Cassie Kofi in disappointment, instinctively clenching his fists. "Don't you get it? The fact that I helped you scheme against Cherry Miller is going to come out sooner or later! When that happens, we won't be able to leave, even if we want to."
