Sweet Twins

Chapter 30 Playboy

Doris tried very hard not to laugh. "You walked with your eyes closed. Why are you blaming me, now?"

"You are so..." Jay was furious. He remembered being surrounded by women before who humored and flattered him. But this woman was so different from the others. She would even dare treat him that way.

Or perhaps she had no idea who he was? The most powerful playboy in the city?

And it was just as Jay guessed, Doris had no idea who he was.

Additionally, he was in a total mess now. He was no longer the same playboy that he used to be.

"Hey, handsome boy, you're so wet. You'd better run on home and change your clothes. It's early autumn and it's easy to catch a cold. If you catch a cold because of a basin of water that would really be embarrassing," she added with a teasing smile.

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard him sneeze loudly.

"Just as I was saying!" she exclaimed at his sneezing. "You really need to go home and change your clothes. Don't stay here any longer," Doris suggested with a pout.

Even though she rarely concerned herself with the affairs of others, she understood that she still had to be careful not to get into trouble.

So, she wanted to get rid of him by sending him home as soon as possible.

"You are a crazy woman. You hurt me badly. Are you really that irresponsible?" Jay was completely furious. He was completely wet now and he wondered if he could go back in his current state.

He had no extra clothes in his car for him to change into. Was she thinking that he could simply drive back while he was soaking wet?

To make it worse, Jay was also a hot item for the paparazzi. Anything about him could easily be turned into a big news item.

He was worried that if a paparazzi saw him and took a picture of him, it would immediately become a juicy gossip.

He was never really worried with gossips popping up about him every now and then.

But was still afraid of gossips that could damage his image. He understood how it could easily become a great loss for him.

"You want me to be responsible for what happened you? What? Are you a super-rich kid? Do you have luxury cars and huge houses? Do you have many servants at your beck and call?" She was a person who never liked money and those who had too much of it. It was one of the main reasons why she didn't recognize the person in front of her. She couldn't just tap him on one shoulder like a fairy godmother and say, "Okay. You need me to be responsible for you, right? Come home with me then, and I will be responsible for you for the rest of my life."

This man might look nice, but she knew that he was not the kind of man that could make her fall in love with him.

So she said those words to scare the man away.

Jay shrugged his shoulders as he shook his head. 'What a ridiculous woman! Come on! Do I look like a poor man?' Jay wondered to himself.

He was so used to women who loved money that Doris was like a mysterious specimen to him.

"No, of course not!" Jay replied immediately.

"Do you still want me to be responsible for you, then? How do you propose that I can be responsible?" Doris asked as she shrugged her shoulders. "How about I give you some sanatorium clothes?" Doris asked.

"No! I don't want to wear that! Achoo!" Jay said and then sneezed loudly.

He rubbed his nose and was convinced that he was really going to catch a cold.

"Yes, I see. You want to extort money from me, don't you? Let me tell you. You are a man. Why are you even here in the first place, anyway? You don't look like a trustworthy guy at first impression. And I don't know you. You must be doing something illegal here!"

What she said infuriated Jay so much that it made him want to burst into wild laughter.

'This woman is just unbelievable! She is really a glib-tongued woman!' Jay thought to himself.

"Come on! Why would I even steal from you? And I don't care about your money. Lady, stop thinking too much. Just buy me some dry clothes. I came here for Jade. Do you understand?" He was convinced that it was pointless to get too involved with her.

The woman was so skillful in acting shamelessly.

And she was admittedly the most shameless woman that Jay had ever met!

He was a popular person in the city, so, he couldn't just lower himself to her level for nothing.

"What? Are you looking for Jade?" Doris suddenly became alert. She knew almost everyone who was close to Nancy. And she couldn't recall him to be someone who was known to Nancy. "So, why are you looking for her?" she asked suspiciously.

"Can I ask you something?" His whole body was starting to shiver because of the cold. And he couldn't stand it any longer. He instinctively placed his hands around his shoulders to warm himself.

"Jade doesn't have anything to say to you now. You can ask me any question you might have for her," Doris announced as she crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"Really?" Jay asked incredulously.

"I am telling you the truth."

Jay was so amused by her naivety. He initially thought that she was just another scheming woman, but it turned out that she was so naive!

"So, you know Nancy?" asked Jay.

Doris tapped her chest proudly. "Of course! Nancy is my best friend and we were schoolmates. Although we were not in the same major, we lived together for many years!"

Jay nodded silently while he was in deep thought. He finally understood what he could find out with minimal effort.

All he needed to do was to find a person who had known Nancy for a long time. Someone who knew her very well.

"Great! Let's find a place to talk. If you can answer my question, then you don't need to be responsible for me anymore. What do you say?" Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

"Okay, but I still want to know where you are taking me to, first," Doris pointed out immediately.

"We will go to buy some clothes for me first, and then... hotel, coffee shop... Choose whichever place you'd like to go to talk." 'This woman likes money, doesn't she?

As long as she likes money, everything would be OK. There is no reason to doubt that she won't tell me everything about Nancy's background,' Jay thought.

But as soon as she heard the word "hotel," Doris immediately gave in.

"Deal!"

Doris turned around and walked out of the sanatorium afterwards.

Finally, Jay ended up driving his car with wet clothes. It was fortunate that he had a spare cushion. Thus, his wet clothes didn't get the car seat wet.

He sneezed several times on the way to a nearby clothing store.

As soon as they stopped and the car was parked, Jay handed to her a credit card and gave her the password.

"Well... Can I buy myself some clothes too?" Doris asked as she stared at the credit card in her hand.

The card was black. She remembered someone told her before that the people who used black credit cards were all rich people.

'Is he really a rich man?' Doris wondered.

"If you want to!" Jay replied immediately.

Her lips curled into a wicked smile. "Please tell me how much is in it and I'll keep it in mind. I am afraid that it will run out of money when I use it."

"I don't really know." And Jay truly didn't know. His money was given to him by his grandfather. No one in the family told him how much was it.

"Do you mean more or less?" Doris asked wondering.
