Love Contract

The rest of the crew was laughing so hard that they couldn't stand straight. The sight of Lucas being "kidnapped" into the car was just hilarious. "Then I have to go as well!" With a devilish but attractive smile, Archer shifted his gaze from Lucas and said, "Aisha and I are inseparable." Mary and William exchanged glances. They both felt goosebumps all over. They ignored Archer's remark and got into their car.

"Let's go!" Archer thoughtfully opened the door for Aisha like a gentleman.

"Okay." Aisha stepped into the car, but her heart sank.

When she saw his face, she felt dizzy and helpless, but her mission was of utmost importance. Was she really going to use Archer in order to achieve her goal? If she was going to do it, why didn't she answer Jazlyn's question last night?

"Lucas, let's talk." Jazlyn was sitting on the front passenger seat with her arms crossed.

"About what?" He glanced at her while driving.

"Look, we need to talk about what you're doing. Can you please stop pestering me from now on?" she asked impatiently.

"Pestering you?" Lucas sneered, "Sure, but under one condition." "Tell me," she answered immediately.

"Apologize to me first, because..."

"Okay. I'm sorry."

Before he could finish talking, Jazlyn had already apologized. "Is that good enough for you?" she added.

"I haven't even said the rest of my sentence!" Lucas turned his head to cast her a glare. He was enraged. "Do you think it's going to be that easy? I want you to apologize to me in front of everyone who saw me humiliated! First, you spilled wine all over my suit. Second, you inconsiderately splashed mud and water all over my body! And finally, that night you begged me to detoxify that weird drug you had in your system. Apologize for all of that!"

"Wait a minute, I begged you to help me?" Her eyes widened. "Oh, come on! Don't flatter yourself, Lucas! I'm an attractive and alluring woman, I can get any man to help me whenever I want. And you want me to apologize for something like that? No freaking way. Running into you that night was the biggest fault of my entire life!"

"Ha ha..." Lucas chuckled. "Your biggest fault? Whatever, I don't care. I didn't lose anything that night!"

"Well it was a gargantuan loss for me!" She gritted her teeth, enduring the burning sensation on her face. She roared, "I suffered a great loss because of you! I didn't even realize you were a man! You're just an AAA battery! II

"Damn it! I can't stand your incessant insults anymore!" Lucas parked the car in front of the highway's toll gate. He tapped the steering wheel angrily, turned to Jazlyn, and shouted at her, "AAA battery? Seriously? Cut the crap, Jazlyn! You enjoyed it so much that you begged me for more!"

"I'm going to kill you!" Jazlyn pounced on him and strangled his neck with her arms. "One more word out of your filthy mouth, and I'll definitely kill you!"

"Come on, then! Have a try!" He seized the opportunity to grab her hand. "Let me tell you this right now! You're so lacking in curves that you would be mistaken for a man with your clothes on! Nobody's going to marry you because of your terrible temper!"

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

A series of car horns resounded behind them. Lucas withdrew his hand and said, "This isn't over, Jazlyn. I'll deal with you later!"

Jazlyn was so angry that he pinched his waist. "Just drive! Moron!"

"Shut up!"

The two faced away from each other. Their car sullenly followed the two cars ahead.

The atmosphere in Archer's car was the polar opposite of Lucas's.

Aisha was looking out the window, lost in her own world. For a long time, she had never expected to receive any form of familial affection. Her sister's sudden appearance was a surprise to her. It was quite ridiculous, because she never even knew about her existence.

Was her existence too much of a mistake that her family didn't want to admit it? Since she had never even met her parents, she wondered what they were like.

"Don't worry, darling," Archer said, holding her hand. "I know what you're thinking."

Aisha regained her senses and smiled, pretending to be relaxed. "What? Are you a psychologist, now?"

'TH be one, if it's for you, and only you." He smiled, with a breathtaking glint in his attractive blue eyes. "You lit up my world ever since the day I met you. Don't ever doubt the purpose of your existence again." She smiled and said, "We've only seen each other a few times. Why do you care about me so much? Should I be suspicious of your actions?"

"My only purpose is to be with you. Don't ever doubt that." Archer grinned brighter. "Even if we've only met, for me, you've always been in my heart for a long, long time. You're always running through my mind!"

Aisha swallowed the lump in her throat, resisting his affection. She turned her head away and said, 'Tm tired. II

"I see. Then, you should take a nap. I'll just wake you when we get there."

"Okay. Thank you."

With a smile at the corners of his mouth, he watched her slowly close her eyes until she fell asleep. 'Aisha, who are you? What do you do?'

It was already midnight when they arrived at Z City. They could only stay in the city for one night before searching for Mary's father.

"Boss, I'll sleep in the same room with you." Jazlyn approached Aisha at the front desk, hoping to stay as far away from Lucas as possible. "Okay," said Aisha.

"What about me?" Archer leaned closer to Aisha and gazed into her eyes. "I can warm up the bed, honey. Do you want to sleep with me?"

"O-"

Jazlyn stopped Aisha from finishing the end of her sentence. "Boss, don't be captivated by this man's beauty!" "Don't you want to sleep with your 'one-night lover'?" Aisha bobbed her head and said calmly. "Who wants to sleep with him? I'd rather sleep alone!" Jazlyn glanced at Lucas and sneered, "I may be crazy sometimes, but I'm not that crazy!"

"That's right!" Lucas approached with his hands in his pockets.

"Can an AAA battery speak?" Jazlyn raised her head and looked at him defiantly.

"Damn you! You wicked woman!"

"All right, all right! Everyone shut up!" William interjected to stop Lucas. He asked in a low voice, "Do you think you can beat her in a fight?"

"I..." Lucas felt disheartened. "A good man wouldn't lay a hand on a woman, not even a woman as bad as her!"

"Then I will sleep in the same room with you," Aisha said to Jazlyn, as she patted her on the back.

William covered his mouth to hide his smile. He walked towards Mary, took her hand, and led her to the front desk to check in. He placed two IDs on the desk and said, "One suite for us two."

"Hey, hey, William! Don't do that!" Hearing William's request, Lucas rushed over and glared at him. "Archer and I have to sleep alone. Isn't it unfair if you stay with your wife tonight?"

"Yes, I agree!" Archer came over gracefully with an evil smile.

"I have no choice," William said as he took the room card and smirked at the two men. "If you are competent enough, why don't you persuade the ladies to share rooms with you. Mary, you must be tired after sitting in the car for so long. Let's go to our room and have a good rest!" "Okay," Mary replied as they walked hand-in-hand.

"Alas! It seems we have to stay in the same room for

tonight." Lucas put his arm on Archer's shoulder.

"I'm not interested in you. Let's sleep separately!" Archer shook Lucas's arm away and handed his ID to the clerk on the front desk. "A suite please." "Humph! Damn it, Archer!"
