Chapter 339 Honey's Examination

"I did stop your pain with that needle earlier, but it was only temporary. Your menstrual crampshaven’t been completely cured. Later, I need to go to the herbal market to get some medicine; I canpick up what you need, too. If you don't believe me, so be it. But if you do, once I get the medicine,I'll continue your treatment."

"Country boy, better not be playing tricks on me! If you try anything, you'll have to answer to me."

"Do something improper? To you? Out of all the women in the world, you're the last one I'minterested in. Even if we're in the same room, or if you put on a seductive dress, it wouldn't stir athing in me. No matter how you try to entice me, I won’t spare you a glance."

"You... you’re just being obstinate!"

Brittany was seething. She felt humiliated. She was popular, with countless men pursuing her, andthis country boy had the audacity to say he wasn’t interested?

After considering Daniel's comments, Brittany realized something.

"Country boy, don’t think I can’t see through your plan. You’re using reverse psychology to provokeme into putting on a sexy dress, right? Dream on! I’d rather let a dog see me in a sexy dress thanyou!"

"A dog? Wow, didn't realize you went so wild, Brittany!"

"I... I’ll throw you off a cliff!"

In a fit of rage, Brittany grabbed a pillow from the bed and hurled it at Daniel. He punched the flyingpillow, which ricocheted back onto Brittany's face and knocked her onto the bed.

"Country boy, I'll kill you!"

Although a pillow didn't hurt, Brittany was more than a little angry. She pounced, pinned Danieldown on the bed, and started punching him. Daniel wriggled about, inadvertently getting more thanhis share of contact, although Brittany was too busy doling out punishment to notice.

After ten minutes of tussle, Brittany lay exhausted on the bed, while Daniel was still full of energy.

"Brittany, you were so feisty a moment ago. Come on, keep hitting me! Are you too tired to standnow? How amusing!"

"I... I’ll kick you to death!"

As Brittany tried to kick him again, Daniel caught her leg in his grasp. Right then, his phone rangwith a call from Jessica.

Oh no! Why is she calling during the daytime? For some reason, Daniel felt unexplainably nervous.

"Don't make a sound!" he whispered to Brittany before answering.

"Boss... uh, anything you need me for?" Daniel stumbled over his words.

Sensing something odd from the way he switched from "honey" to "boss," Jessica becamesuspicious. "What are you doing? Whom are you with?"

"Who else but your Brittany? I was heading to the herbal market when she caught me on the way.She accused me of skipping work and decided to supervise me. Want me to let her speak to you?"

Switching the phone to speaker mode, Daniel handed it to Brittany.

"Brittany, talk to Jessica and confirm it, or she'll suspect it's not really you with me."

With some skepticism, Jessica asked, "Brittany, is that you?"

"Yes, it's me, Jessica! I bumped into the country boy on the street and saw he wasn't behaving,intending to skip work, so I thought to drag him back to the company!"

"Once you're done, come back early," Jessica said before hanging up.

Jessica trusted Daniel when he was with Brittany, confident that as sworn enemies, nothing couldhappen between them. Even after the call ended, Brittany felt a bit flustered.

"Don't you dare tell Jessica we were here in a hotel room!" she sternly warned Daniel.

"Me? Honesty's my policy! No matter what she asks, I'll tell her the truth. It's just me taking a breakfrom work to rent a room with Brittany. No big deal, and I don't lose anything from it."

"I warn you! If you go blabbering, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

After leaving the room, they headed straight for the nearby herbal market – Herbal loon.

Of all the shops in the market, Herbal loon wasn't the biggest, but it had the most character. Daniel,merely glancing at it from afar, could tell it had some hidden gems worth exploring.

As he eagerly walked in, his eyes landed on a stunning woman in a green dress. She was AidenFoster, the owner of Herbal loon, exuding a serene beauty that could catch any man's attention.

Daniel gazed unabashedly at the captivating sight before him. He couldn't resist admiring beauty,and Aiden certainly had plenty to admire.

Noticing Daniel's unblinking stare at the owner, Brittany felt a sting of jealousy.

"Country boy, what are you staring at?" she demanded irritably.

"Staring at a beauty," he replied simply.

"I... You... You jerk!"

"I admit I appreciate beauty openly, and there is no shame in that. What’s wrong with being agentleman about it?"

"A gentleman? More like a pretentious one," Brittany scoffed.

Right then, Aiden elegantly approached in her high heels, her charming smile directed at Daniel.

"Handsome, are you here for some medicine?" she asked coyly.

"Beautiful! And you are? My name’s Daniel," he introduced himself.

"Nice to meet you, Daniel. I’m Aiden, the owner of Herbal loon," she replied with her practicedwarmth.

The shrewd Brittany could see where this was headed – Aiden could likely charm any money out ofDaniel. Sensing trouble, she quickly intervened.

"Do you know her well? There's plenty of other herbal shops. Let's not buy from here, let's replace aproper one."

Aiden's face darkened upon hearing Brittany's suggestion.
