Chapter Six
You want to act? Fine let's act!(2)
Scarlett was shocked. She tried to free herself but his hands were so strong. She could only struggle. "Do you really have some kind of mental condition? Ba...Baby? Let go of me this instant!" Scarlett demanded.
However, Ryder pretended not to hear her. He removed his hand from his waist and put it around her shoulders, then he pulled her closer. "Dad, Matt, I really did not want to tell you before because Scarlett baby wanted to hide it but I can't keep it a secret anymore! I really want to tell the truth. That's right, Scarlett and I are a couple!" Ryder said
Scarlett felt like she was going to choke on her spit. What?! Scarlett Baby?! What is going on with this person? She had come here because she wanted to talk about how they were going to resolve this crazy story of her being a couple with this idioit and now what is this idiot saying? That it's true? Scarlett continued to struggle but his grip was just too firm. What does he want from her?!
"What do you think that you are doing? Let go of me this instant! What nonsense are you talking about?!" Scarlett yelled. She was yet to figure out what was going on.
But Ryder was persistent. He continued to smile sweetly at her and it freaked Scarlett out! What is he doing right now? Ryder was having a great time. Thinking about it now this scandal doesn't affect him in any way. Even if it did affect him in some way, as long as if was going to make Scarlett suffer he was ready to do it.
"I really don't want to hide our relationship any longer. We have already been hiding it for so long. Since they have found out about it, there's no need for us to continue to hide like this. Let's just tell them the truth baby" Ryder said.
Scarlett felt like she was going to faint! Baby?! Why does this word sound so creepy coming from this fool? "Hey, let go of me this instant! Who is in a relationship with you? I don't have anything to do with you so let go of me this instant!" Scarlett said. But it was as if he could not hear any of the things that she was saying to him. He just continued to hold on to her like she is his property.
On the other hand Peter, Matt and Rose were looking at the both of them in shock. What is going on right now? In a relationship? Tell the truth? Baby Scarlett?! The three of them were short of words. How did something like this happen? Just a few minutes, weren't the both of them swearing that they don't have anything to do with each other? How is this even possible?
Matt was the one who spoke up. "Wait, Ryder, what is going on right now? Didn't you just say that you don't have anything to do with Scarlett? How is that you are in a relationship with her now?" Matt asked. He could almost guess what Ryder was trying to do but he did not want to believe it. He did not want to think that Ryder was going to be this petty just because he got into a little argument with her.
"When did I tell you that? Let me tell you
something. Scarlett and I are really going out. It's really difficult to meet her in secret. I really must thank who took the pictures. Because of him, we don't have to hide anymore. Isn't that right baby?" Ryder asked. He turned and gave her a sweet....and sick smile.
Scarlett was so angry. "Are you crazy?! What nonsense are you talking about? You and who met in secret? You really are a mental patient? Don't be ashamed to seek help you really should get your brain checked!" Scarlett yelled.
Rose moved closer to Scarlett. She too was surprised. Scarlett was almost swearing at Ryder when they were coming but now what? They have been seeing each other in secret?! How is that possible?
"Scarlett, you and Ryder didn't you sat that there is nothing going on between the both of you? What is he talking about how? Did you...." Rose did not complete her sentence.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Of course we are not in a relationship! I don't even know this idoit!" Scarlett said.
"There is no need for you to be shy. If you don't want the public to know about our relationship, you can still continue to hide it. You know that I love you and I respect your decisions. It's just that we should let them people that are close to us know about it right? Besides, you are the one who wanted to let them know. You've been pestering me about it for some time now. Don't you think that it turned out perfectly?" Ryder asked. All this time, he did not stop holding her to himself .
Scarlett felt like she was going to cough out some blood. "How can you lie with such a straight face? You and I don't have anything to do with each other and you know that! What nonsense are you talking about?" Scarlett asked. She was so angry.
Ryder did not say anything to this. He just smiled at her. Maybe Ryder thought that his smile was charming but Scarlett thought that it was scary!
Peter felt that he had enough. He did not want to put up with this anymore. Ryder clearly said just now that he doesn't have anything to do with Scarlett but now he is suddenly in a relationship with her? What is going on here? What is Ryder trying to do? He did not want to listen to the both of them arguing back and forth anymore. He just wanted to get to the bottom of this so that he could know how to deal with this situation.
"Really what is going on with the both of you? Are you going out or not? Stop arguing here!" Peter said. He was starting to get frustrated just listening to the both of them go back and forth on this. It was so annoying!
Ryder smiled. He got Scarlett now. Little by little he is going to get his revenge on her does she can think that she can do whatever she wants to him?
"Of course it's true. The both of us are really going out. But it's just that Scarlett is flustered right now. I have something to say to her. I hope that you guys don't mind" Ryder said. Then he faced Scarlett. "let's go Baby" he said.
The three of them could only watch with thier mouth wide open as Ryder pulled Scarlett out of the office.
"Let of of me! Let go of me this instant! Are you stupid?! I said let go of me!" Scarlett continued to yell as Ryder pulled her along. She was really angry. No matter how much she shouted and protested, he did not let go of her. Instead, he dragged her to the elevator. Then he hit the button for the top floor. As he pulled her along, they attracted a lot of attention but Ryder did not care. That was what he wanted. The more people saw them, the more difficult it would be for her right?
But Scarlett did not think so. She was so angry that she felt like coughing up blood! What is this person doing to her right now? It was only the both of them in the elevator. She could finally unleash her anger on him right now.
"What do you think that you are doing? Are you crazy?! Do you think that I am someone that that you can mess with? I'm telling you that I won't let this go at all! I'm going to make sure that I get back at you for doing this to me!" Scarlett swore.
Ryder pretended as if he did not hear the words that she said. He just continued to smile at her. "Really? You are going to make me pay? If anyone should be paying it should be you! Have you forgotten how you humiliated me?" He asked. There was a playful smile on his face and it really made Scarlett sick to her stomach!
Scarlett could finally see what he was getting at now. It was because of what happened! But he deserved it! Even if he really is a CEO, how dare he walk into her car and demand a ride from her? "What do you want from me? So you really are the CEO of this company? So what?! What does it have to do with me!" Scarlett yelled.
Ryder smirked. "Yes, I am the CEO, do you believe it now?" He asked.
"And so what if you are the CEO? It has nothing to do with me! You also didn't believe that I am a celebrity!" Scarlett yelled at him.
"I think you've forgotten about your second identity. The daughter of the chairman" Ryder said. He was reminding her of the time when she said that if he is the CEO then she is the Chairman's daughter.
Scarlett did not say anything to him this time. She just looked away.
Ryder wasn't done talking to her though. "I really did not know that my father had a daughter like you. What a shame!" Ryder said.
Scarlett turned and glared at him. "What do you really want from me? Why are you doing this to me?" Scarlett asked.
"What do I want? What do you think I want from you?" Ryder asked. He stepped closer to her, Scarlett stepped back. They continued like this until Scarlett had her back on the wall.
"You...you...stay away from me..." Scarlett said.
"Why do you think?" Ryder asked. He leaned closer to her. Thier lips were close to each other now, almost touching.
"You, what are you doing? I'm telling you don't try anything funny with me!" Scarlett yelled. She was trying to sound firm but her voice was already shaking.
Ryder could see that she was shaking. "Do you think that I want to do anything to you?!" Ryder retorted. Then he pulled her away from her.
Just then, the elevator stopped. Ryder stepped out. But he did not forget to drag Scarlett with him. He took her to the rooftop.
"Hey, what are you doing right now? What do you really want from me? Do you not know what is happening right now? Everyone thinks that the both of us are in a relationship! You know that is not true! Why did you tell them that we are seeing each other? What do you want from me? Is it because of what happened? Don't you think that you are being too much right now?" Scarlett asked. She decided to talk calmly with him. Maybe he will stop this way.
Ryder scoffed. "being too much? I don't think so at all. I'm actually having a lot of fun right now" Ryder said.
Scarlett sighed. She really wanted to open his head and see what is inside. What is he thinking right now? "What do you reallywant from me? What do you want before you stop doing this to me?" Scarlett asked.
"What I want? Aren't you an actress? I felt like acting, so I decided to give it a try. Say, what do you of my acting just now?" Ryder asked. He was really having fun. He had the upper hand right now after all. He definitely was going to show her! She dared to make fun of her. He won't let it go this easily at all!
Scarlett was really angry now. She had thought that words could get through to this person but clearly she was wrong. Words can't get to him at all! "Fine! You want to act right? Let's act!" She said.
