He didn't expect that to come so he let out a quick breath before saying, "Okay." Even if he disliked Eleanor, Rain as the gentleman, agreed to pay for the lady's liquor purchases. Besides, he had the money. It was only a few bottles of hard liquor that wouldn't cost very much. But his tone remained cold and emotionless because his plans did not include making friends with the woman flirting with him. There was only one woman who owned his heart, and no one else was welcome there.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Xia," Eleanor said with a smirk. She didn't expect Rain to turn down her suggestion. Eleanor was aware of how rich he was, and that he didn't care about money. But still, she was happy that he agreed. It meant that Rain didn't dislike her, didn't it? He was willing to pay for her bottles of liquor. With a wide smile, she put the bottles she was carrying on the counter next to the bottle of Tequila Rain got.
He quickly glanced at the bottles Eleanor laid down on the counter, and his brows immediately furrowed. All were very expensive. It was not that he lacked money, but Rain simply despised people who took advantage of him. Eleanor was either shameless or testing him for whatever reason. But Rain kept quiet. He wanted to finish the transaction and be on his way. The man took his credit card from his wallet and handed it to the cashier to pay for both their purchases.
The woman who stood beside him, secretly watching his every move, was a bit surprised by Rain's generosity. She was thinking he would back out of paying when he saw how pricey the bottles she had chosen were. But Rain said nothing. He paid and signed for everything, proving that money was no object to him, which impressed Eleanor. The bottles she picked were worth at least a million dollars.
"Should I pack them all tog
compromise if she wanted to be with Rain.
"Sorry, but I'm not headed in your direction. So, I can't give you a lift," Rain said briskly. It was a lame excuse, the only one that quickly came to mind to avoid being with her. Rain hastily closed the car door, started the engine and drove off. As he left, he glanced at Eleanor through the rear view mirror, with a sarcastic smirk on his face, and his eyes full of disdain. He couldn't stand being around that woman anymore. As she stood watching Rain leave, Eleanor's expression turned sullen. She didn't expect Rain's blunt refusal of her request for a ride.
She blew out a breath in annoyance. "I will let you go this time, Rain. But you won't get this lucky next time. I want you, and I will have you. I always get what I want anyway," she muttered confidently. She remained unfazed because, in her mind, she had the right to be self-assured. After all, she had an undeniably beautiful face, complemented by an amazingly hot body. Most importantly, Eleanor had youth on her side. She was in her prime as a woman. And what was not to like about her? Eleanor was sure she would get Rain in the end. She had yet to meet a man who didn't fall for her charms.
