295 Must Be Me
Levi was a pushy person, especially when he was upset like now. And Emma understood that.
Emma immediately shook her head. “That’s not necessary, Levi. My friend is already on the way now. Besides, I don’t want to burden you.”
“You always burden me, so, I’m used to it,” Levi answered flatly. Then he took a long sigh to calm himself. “Fine if that’s what you want. After all, we’ve been hanging out together all day. Well, even though it wasn’t as long as usual, but today was fun,”
Hearing Levi’s words, Calvin inflamed. That jerk was deliberately saying that in front of him to make him jealous. Or worse... he was declaring that he was a better man to Emma.
But above it all, Calvin was more worried about Emma’s reaction. She did not deny Levi’s words. That meant that what the pale, corpse-like guy said was true.
During this time, Emma was close to another man. And their relationship seemed to have gone further than what Emma and Calvin had. As it turned out, Emma had always been a nuisance to that guy and often hung out together like this.
All these facts made Calvin feel pain in his heart and a sense of worry gripped his mind.
Emma realized that the uncomfortable atmosphere around them was growing. She immediately cleared her throat to break the silence, “I’d better wait at the lobby door. It looks like my friend will arrive soon.”
Levi and Calvin woke up from their daydreams. Then both of them nodded and in unison said, “I’ll take you out,”
.....
God! Emma felt like jumping to the ground floor now. The two men began to perform various actions that made Emma awkward and at a loss as to how to respond.
Calvin and Levi stared at each other with disapproving faces. That was embarrassing and disgusting. How could they talk at the same time like that? Each of them cursed and blamed the other in their hearts.
Emma smiled wryly. “Actually, I’m fine going there alone.”
“No. I’ll take you. At least I see you get in your friend’s car.” Levi answered quickly, didn’t accept rejections.
“You better not wait in there alone, Emma. The mall is pretty dead. I’m afraid something might happen to you.” Calvin replied.
Emma felt like a criminal who was being escorted by two policemen. Secretly, she sighed heavily before nodding. “Okay... Then, how about the three of us go there together?”
The two men glanced at each other cynically. But they both had to nod because they had no other choice. Emma was in a hurry.
Finally, the three of them went to the lobby door together. Even though Emma had tried her best to melt the tight atmosphere between the two men, it still seemed that the dark aura followed wherever they went.
Ten minutes of waiting seemed like a whole day for Emma. She had to constantly mediate between the two men who seemed to be heading for a fight whenever they accidentally entered into the same conversation.
The two of them kept fighting over Emma to talk to until she was confused and dizzy. Luckily, a grey minivan appeared. The car stopped in front of the three of them.
Emma felt like flying when the windows rolled down to reveal Rachel Markway behind the driving wheel.
“Rachel...” Emma said with puppy eyes.
Rachel raised her eyebrows when she found Emma standing with two good-looking guys, one of which was Calvin Lee. But who was the other man?
“Thank you for accompanying me. Sorry I have to go first.” Emma said.
“That’s not a problem, Emma. Hope your business going well,” Calvin said with his signature warm smile.
Levi glanced at the overly friendly man with a sneer. It seemed he was desperately trying to win Emma’s heart. Levi really hated men who had an attitude like Calvin. As a man, he shouldn’t be too friendly like that, even to women. He was only making himself look stupid.
Then, the minivan sped away with Emma in it, leaving two men who had lost smiles that they previously showed in front of the girl they liked.
“So, your name is Levi Wargos?” Calvin asked directly with a flat expression and voice.
Levi looked back at him. “You’ve heard it yourself from Emma, ??haven’t you? Have you gone senile?”
“Have you two been friends for a long time?” Calvin asked, trying not to listen to Levi’s last sentence that demeaned him.
“Quite,” Levi replied lightly while slipping his hands into his front trouser pockets. His eyebrow rose. “Do you have a problem with that?”
Calvin shook his head briefly and smiled. “You two are pretty good friends. Emma is a friendly girl. Of course, she has lots of girl or boy friends.”
Levi looked displeased with Calvin’s words. But he covered up his irritation so that the man wouldn’t get what he wanted from saying such unimportant things. “And you are one of them.”
Calvin’s hands clenched into fists. Then, he stepped closer to the pale man, “Look. You better not get too close to Emma because she will soon be mine. Just so you know; we are very close and have a special relationship.”
Hearing that, Levi chuckled. “Are you telling a joke? Who are you? Are you her boyfriend?” Levi asked before changing his facial expression to cold in an instant. “Being close to Emma doesn’t make you able to control who is allowed to be close to her. There’s no need to get a big head over how special your relationship is. You don’t even know what the two of us have done. ”
“What?” Calvin’s frowned. His face looked surprised and angry at what Levi said. “What do you mean? What have you two done?”
“That’s none of your business. In fact, you’re just a friend of Emma’s. Even if you were her boyfriend, that wouldn’t prevent me from making her mine.” Levi smiled.
“I’m not joking around with you, clown!” Calvin hissed.
“Me neither,” Levi replied casually. But there was a threatening look in his eyes. “I don’t think I need to ask you back not to get close to Emma because I know no man is closer to her than me.” Then, he walked away, leaving Calvin.
The man with black hair and bright light skin just stood there, staring intently at the man in black who was walking further and further away. Calvin’s gaze could make a hole in the back of Levi’s head.
“Levi Wargos,” Calvin muttered furiously.
On the other hand, Levi stepped with a fire burning his chest even though he looked relaxed on the outside.
Indeed Calvin was a friend of Emma’s. But he couldn’t accept the fact that there was another man close to Emma. He also didn’t like seeing Calvin fighting for Emma. He didn’t like the fact that Emma might belong to another man. He didn’t like knowing that the person was Calvin Lee.
This made Levi question the decision he had previously made. It seemed that his brain wouldn’t be able to cooperate with his feelings. He could not let go of Emma. He couldn’t just be her friend. He wouldn’t be able to see her belong to someone else. He knew that status was important.
The one who held the status of Emma’s boyfriend was the one who would get all the attention and be her priority. And that person had to be Levi.
“No chances for you, Calvin Lee,” Levi muttered with fists clenched.
