He also set the final payment date for Samuel's property in a few months giving Samuel ample time, which he didn't really need, but it showed Sunderland cared about their deal.

Samuel again accepted it reluctantly. What's done was done; he already owned the house it would be meaningless to fight over trivial things.

They continued to chat for an hour before Sibylla's butler arrived. She helped the Princess with the contract, after which they also finalized the deal. Sibylla would be living in the same building as Samuel, which led him to make a proposition.

" Sibylla, when you ask your butler to buy private furniture, please help me fix something too. I might not have much time to deal with it." It's not he couldn't arrange someone, but he quite liked the butler's enthusiasm, so he suggested it.

" It's not a problem but what kind do you want?" She asked.

" Nothing special, some modern that would fit the atmosphere of the whole room?" He didn't have any crazy requirements as long as it looked good.

Sibylla called the person, and they discussed Samuel's request again; it's not much trouble to arrange for one more person besides Sibylla, emphasizing their friendship which made the butler take things seriously.

After everything was done, they got on the Rolls-Royce and left for the hotel. Sibylla went to check out her college with her butler. She needed to sort that out to not fall behind in her curriculum.

While inside the car, Paige started asking some questions.

" Sami, what are your Christmas plans? There is not much time left." She was curious if he would stay in the States or not.

" I don't know. With my movie promotion coming up, I don't really know where I will be at that time."

" hmm? What about your parents? Won't aunt Laura be mad if you don't attend the Christmas dinner?"

" I will make time for it somehow. But why are you asking me that?"

" Because I am thinking about attending the party. I have gotten pretty bored with parties around here, I might need a change of scenery."

" What about your parents then?"

" We don't celebrate Christmas like that; most of the time, they are very busy, so I would usually go out with some friends." She shrugged; not everyone had loved Christmas.

" By the way, Sami, I, too, will be attending the same university with Sibylla. I happen to know that you went there too?" She probed. Samuel didn't talk much about his studies, but she got the scoop from his mother.

" Right if you can call it that. I was here for only few months for a specialized course nothing much."

" So you could be called my alumni?"

" Kind of? There is nothing serious about it."

" I guess so, if not how could you complete the whole course in few months? I guess it won't be much problem for me as I am smarter than you!"

Was she trying to pick up a fight with him? Samuel didn't know. He thought bad blood between them was already satiated, but It didn't appear to be the case. Paige was not wrong when she said she could do it, but it's not easy either.

Such places were easy to enter but very strict with their courses. Especially this one, no matter if you had status or were connected on the high lever, they were very stingy to give out credit based on that. If she didn't change her attitude, she would surely suffer in the future!

" Keep on dreaming, you think I fluked my degrees? Don't come crying to me when they fail you miseribly." Samuel said with a scrounging expression. Paige knew what he was implying; you finishing the university? Impossible!

  " You- I will show you!"

" I have seen enough" He paused to come closer, " Including the birthmark on your back."

" You rascal! How dare you!" She gave him a fierce look and lunged at him inside the car.

" Wait! Wait! We should fight inside the car! I am sorry!" Samuel kept deflecting her kitty punches and reminded her that one more person was there.

Paige understood what he was saying, but she was still angry. She sat aside while sulking while looking outside the window. Samuel wanted to lift her mood but made it worse by his remarks.

There was something about her that made him tease her whenever he could. They always had a love-hate relationship, but he had to devise something to appease her.

As soon as Rolls-Royce returned to the hotel soon, Paige opened the door angrily before the valet could open it and got out of the car angrily, completely ignoring Samuel. She went straight back to the room by giving him a glance!

"Paige, Let's go shopping? I heard Chanel had launched their winter collection!" Samuel was trying his best to come up with a solution in the Paige suite's living room.

" No! I already have it. They knew how to treat their friends and always put me in their priority list!" She turned her head and ignored him again. Did he think it was that easy?

"Then let's go to the movies? I heard a great rom-com released this weekend?"

" No! Do you think all girls like that type of movies? My favorites are action, adventure!"

" Then we can see one of those-"

" Already seen it!" She wasn't even giving him an inch of ground.

"Want to go to the beach?"

" No! I am already tanned enough."

She looked at him sneakily; she couldn't deny she was enjoying it. She knew she couldn't be mad at him forever but watching him make an effort really warmed her heart, but she didn't know who she was dealing with.

" Oh, okay, then I will go back first..." Samuel only said that and began to leave. Paige was surprised by his sudden change, which made her even more depressed. She could ask for something, but that would hurt her pride.

But when she saw him opening the door, she became anxious.

" Hey! Wait! Are you really leaving like that?"

" You didn't give me any choice. I can't come up with anything else? Did you made up your mind?" Samuel was all smiles hearing her stop him. It basically meant he won!

" You bastard!" Paige knew that cheeky smile all too well! She was tricked, but she had to find a way to recover!

" Well, this 'bastard' is leaving now."

" Come back! You could... coax.....me...more.." She softened up a bit. Seeing her pouting face, Samuel chuckled. How could she be that direct? But he had to admit her antics were cute!

" Has the lady decided yet?" He asked again.

" Take me to the racing track! it's been ages since I been there." She said seriously.

" Racing circuit?" It was Samuel's first time hearing about it. He didn't know she was a thrill seeker? Wasn't it dangerous?

" LA Speedway always have a open friday. We could run a few laps, what do you say?" She asked with an excited expression.

" But I don't have a car here. All my sportscars are in Beverly Hills." Samuel's Spyker and Aston Martin still gathered dust in his parent's mansion. They have to take a round trip to retrieve them, and by then, the circuit would be closed.

" Don't worry about the details! I will arrange something." Paige was ready immediately. It was great that she felt bright, but what's the rush? She took him straight to her garage.

She might have cheered up, but that didn't mean she forgave him. It was evident when Samuel saw her car.

He instantly regretted his decision. It was a Lamborghini Diablo GT version; under any other circumstance, he would love to drive this monster with six hundred horsepower, but the problem was its color.

Why was it so irritatingly pink? Samuel almost berated her for her choice of color; it looked like a block of bright pink without any other blemish. Usually, people would mix in exciting cool colors or graphite to go along with it, but there was nothing here.

She wanted him to drive this car? Samuel was ready to back out. It would surely raise questions about his nature if people found him driving this monstrosity.

" Samuel, you promised me! You can't back down now!" Paige looked at him angrily. She also kept on asking about her choice of color and how she had to spend extra twenty thousand dollars to change its color.

Samuel was still unconvinced and reluctant, but suddenly Paige grabbed him.

" You have to hurry. Time is running out, all the good spots would be gone." She forced him into the car.

He reluctantly sat on the co-pilot, but without the tinted glasses, he felt very exposed. Paige triumphantly launched the supercar, the sound from the V12 engine was quite loud but exceedingly charming.

Under Paige's control, the Lamborghini drove away from the hotel and accelerated on the naked streets of LA. Inside the car, Paige was humming while sneaking glances at Samuel. She quite liked this punishment that she devised for him!

At the red light, they had to stop the car. The color instantly attracts curious onlookers' attention. Supercars like Lamborghini were common, but that color sure irritated many eyes!

Samuel was embarrassed and sometimes had to cover his face with his hands to avoid getting recognized. Fortunately, they didn't stop often and soon reached their destination.
