Round it up to a thousand Looking at Michael squared in his face, Elijah

couldn’t stop himself from glaring, at him with his hard and narrowed eyes and said, “It wouldn’t be necessary coming back here… You heard Peach, didn’t you? Didn’t you pick up the word, ‘Never,’ in what she said?”

His voice was so venomous and it sent chills through Michael’s body. But he remained strong even though Elijah wasn’t making it easy on bim.

When they were close enough, Elijah leaned in and lowered his voice, glaring into Michael’s eyes and whispering threateningly in his ear, “Showing up in someone’s face that doesn’t want you to is call harassment, and do you know what happened to people who don’t know how to take a hint, huh?”

Chills ran through Michael’s body, and he felt Elijah’s warm breath hit his ears as he spoke, and he could feel goosebumps rising on his skin.

‘Why does he have such an aura…?!’ Michael thought, feeling frozen and helpless against his intense and dangerous presence, but didn’t want to show any weakness, so he clenched his jaw and glared harshly at Elijah with his eyes, and retorted fiercely, “Well, who are you to stop me from pursuing a single woman?”

Looking at the calling card in Micheal’s hands, Elijah frowned, reaching for it, and Michael did not dare move back as Elijah slowly took it out of his hand and then said, “Because she’s already taken.”

The motel was silent once Elijah finished speaking. A shocked silence spread across the lobby as the words sank in.

Then Miss Grace’s eyes grew wide, confused and slightly annoyed at Elijah’s words, but she was too stunt to say anything.

A look of shock crossed Michael’s face as he swallowed down thickly, and then his cocky thoughts awakened and he chuckled humorlessly.

“It’s true, isn’t it? You are a lowlife goldbrick who feeds off the wealth of women… Woo, woo, Woo!” He started cackling loudly and laughed maniacally. “Are you even a man if a woman is spoon feeding you like some sort of fucking leech?!”

“You! You! Shut up! You don’t know what you are talking about!!” James yelled at Michael.
