He was so unpredictable - she'd never know what he might do next . Given what she knew about him , she didn't think anyone could force him into a marriage . So , he had ulterior motives . But he didn't know anything about her true identity . What could he possibly want from her ? Lowering her head slightly , she stopped herself from wondering . Never mind . She should focus on this dinner for now . Perhaps after today , their paths would never cross again . As she lowered her gaze to hide her embarrassment , she didn't notice that Fulbert's phone on the table buzzed . After glancing at her , he picked up his phone and saw several messages . " Fulbert , my acting skills are remarkable , right ? I looked just like a woman desperate in love ! " " I got kicked in helping you win her favor . Best sister ever , right ? If that doesn't earn me a 100 - thousand - dollar bag , I don't know what does . " He smiled faintly and texted her a phone number . " Pick whatever you want . He'll pay . " " Yay ! You're the best , Fulbert ! " *** Just then , a waiter knocked on the door and entered , starting to serve the dishes . It was such a long day , and Sandria was indeed starving . Just as she was about to cut into her steak , it was whisked away . Shortly after , a perfectly sliced steak was placed in front of her . She looked up , only to see him tilting his chin at her slightly . " Let me , " he said . He was extremely attentive .

Taking his time to wipe his hands , he asked , " Since when do I have to be attentive with anyone ? " Though he sounded like a narcissist , what he said was true . Given the woman's obsession with him , women were in line to be with him . And his implications were clear . She was the only one who deserved to be treated like this . But why ? She didn't believe for a second that he wanted nothing from her . Right now , she just wanted to stay away from any possible danger or trouble . 288 Vouchers She pushed the soup away and smiled , " Mr. Ortega , I'm full , so I'll be leaving then . Enjoy . Of course , you don't have to worry about the bill . I'll take care of it . " Before he could say anything , she stood up and left with her bag . Gazing at her retreating figure , Fulbert arched an eyebrow slightly . How heartless - she dumped him away once he was no use to her . She wouldn't even give him a chance . *** After stepping out of the hotel , Sandria hailed a cab to go home . The cab crossed Daybreak Bridge . She was on her phone when she heard a dull thud . The cab jerked violently as a car slammed into its back , and her body lurched forward uncontrollably against the seatbelt . Her phone was sent flying out of the window , and her wrist slammed against the car window . A sharp pain shot through her entire body as her wrist bone was twisted , making her vision blur . Then she realized there had been an ac- cident . The cab driver panicked . He turned around to see if she was fine and apologized , " I'm sorry , Ma'am . There was an ac- cident ahead , and I slammed on the brakes , but we got rear - ended . Are you alright ? " She nodded . " I'm fine . " Then she got out of the car to see what was going on .
