- In what occasion is this little hysterics? – the malicious voice was distributed over an ear, and Ms. White sharply turned back.
Having leaned against a balcony handrail, there was Neil, having crossed hands on a breast and grinning complacently.
- How dare you ask?! Candy jumped and clenched fists.
- Oh, come on, Candy, stop it, - Legan said idly, and the girl bewitching by his unusual reaction suddenly lowered her hands. – Don't pose yourself as the conventual, understood! – suddenly her old enemy became angry.
- Conventual? – she understood nothing.
- Yes, conventual! – Neil pointed the finger at Candy accusingly. – You are sitting, crying, ah, what the horror, she was kissed! Enough! Don't play the hypocrite! I know everything about you, Candy, everything about your men and your avidity!
- My avidity?... – the girl was so struck by his charges that couldn't even become angry. Probably he has a screw loose.
Neil thrust hands into pockets, and walked before Candy back and forth, talking like with himself, but actually addressing to her.
- You cheated all of them, "the poor orphan". Everyone, including me. I saw girls like you, girls of a low origin to whom are greedy for money. In three months – the car, a diamond necklace and a ruby necklace! But she asks still, and still, she won't calm down! Girls from bottoms, they got used to count only on themselves, isn't it? They ask more and more money, because, when them will be parted, money is everything that they will have. They have no family, or their family is poor, and they have to provide their relatives. And the lovely girl needs a little more money, after all, doesn't she, Candy?
Candy began to blink,she understood nothing that Legan tried to tell her. Madman!
- You never looked at people of your origin, no-o-o-o, any baker or a messenger of newspapers is not your lover. At first you were with the son of duke Granchester, you even met with him at the stable. But when you understood that Terrence is bastard and he will be only an actor, you left him and paid your attention to me. In vain I was jealous to him, with him was already finished in your small prudent heart. Few signs of your attention from you to me, and I already was at your order. You are undoubtedly devilishly attractive, Candy...
His look became more and more frightening, and Candy receded on a step. She wanted to return to the hall, but the way was blocked by her eternal jailer, and she didn't know how to slip by him.
- But then you met William Andrew. I don't know how you guessed that he is nob while he was unconscious, most likely, the unconscious phrase or a casual bagatelle he gave out himself, and now you dismissed me already.
When I came to you to ask for your hand? what did you answer to me? "Mr. Albert IS NOT hobo, and he already REMEMBERED EVERYTHING!"
Neil stopped and asked the girl with a jeer:
- And what has he remembered, Candy? Forgot? And I will tell you, he remembered that he is a head of clan Andrew! And you already absolutely tamed him to yourself, you lived with him for some months! What sense to marry Legan if much larger fish was caught in your net?
The speech power returned to the girl at this moment, and she exclaimed indignantly:
- You lie! He adopted me! We were familiar long ago! I didn't live with him in such way, how you think!
- Enough, Candy. Stop it. He, of course, is bewitched by you, and will execute any your desire. And it, undoubtedly, will be a gold ringlet on your anonymous finger.
- It already my business! How you dare!
- I just can't to look at it спокойно. But you can't stop on it, and at that time, so far you flirt with your adoptive father, you decided to discourage the groom from Annie. You are the terrible person, Candice White!
- Archie is my friend! And Mr. Albert is... my friend!
Neil burst out laughing so hard that could hardly stop.
- Your friend?! Albert Andrew? If you want, I will tell you, as the man, what he wants to make while he is dancing with you laughing uncombed and ruddy?
- No! I won't begin to hear your dirty fabrications! Let me pass! – Candyi tried to push away the torturer, but Legan seized her by hand and approached his face to the her face.
- In spite of this, I'll tell you … - he spoke with whistling whisper. – Friend doesn't give a dress with suchdecollete, attentively selecting your size, friend is not in your life every second, friend doesn't give you his surname, friend doesn't look at you as he looks … Even if he didn't touch you during that time when you lived together, in which, however, I strongly doubt, believe me, Candy, the rare man has such endurance … And now, when you nearby him and are laughing, he wishes one thing …
- Let me!...
- He wishes … To break your damn dress, he wishes to kiss your lips, neck, breast, he wishes to caress you, to caress you everywhere … he wishes ….
- Leave me! Shut up!
- He wishes to take you, Candy, to make you become his!
- Leave me, Neil, - the girl rushed more strongly, or maybe Neil unclenched his hands, and, without looking, she ran forward, along other balconies, farther from the hall and from Neil.
