My Ex Next Door

Novie was about to stand up to stop Ken when Danny stopped her, she looked at him with confusion and asked him what\'s wrong.

"Let him. If to noticed, his first instinct was to protect you, let him take his rage out this is the normal Ken would do in this situation, this is also a good chance for you to see the side of Ken before you met him" Danny explained. Novie sat back and looked at Ken, the man was looking at Anna ferociously while both hands were on her neck choking her, and the woman accompanying Anna earlier was trying to take Ken\'s hand from Anna\'s neck while shouting for someone to call the police.

When Novie saw Anna\'s face turned white, she panicked and asked Danny to stop Ken.

"I can\'t help Anna, Saina is here if she sees me helping another woman again. I will lose my chance of getting her back" Danny replied casually.

Novie sighed and got up, she put a hand on Ken\'s shoulder and called his name.

"Ken, stop it. You\'re hurting her" she spoke in a low tone. Then Ken loosens his gripped to Anna\'s neck and exhaled.

"Leave and don\'t show your face in front of Novie again" Ken spoke in a grave tone while glaring at Anna.

Novie bites her lips and asked Danny if they can leave after all the people around started chattering and all she could hear was the word \'abusive man\'.

Danny put the money on the table and got up while Ken accompanied her out of the restaurant before the door closes, she could hear Danny giving a warning to the people in the restaurant.

"If anyone uploads the video or picture of today\'s incident. I will make sure to sue each of you. That would be all. I apologize for the chaos" Then, she saw Danny through the glass door approached Saina but the woman suddenly slapped Danny and turned her back.

Novie was shocked, she doesn\'t know what Danny said to Saina that made her slap him in the public but when Danny exited the restaurant, she could see the sadness in his eyes.

"Hey what happened there?" Ken asked Danny in curiosity, the man looked at them and smiled.

"Nah! Just another misunderstanding" he replied and entered the car.

As they drove their way back to Claire\'s house, everyone was quiet, weighing the situation.

There was traffic but no one tried to break the silence, all she could hear was Danny\'s phone keeps on vibrating.

After the third ring, Danny answered the phone and she found it to be Daniella.

"Yes, I got the information and you\'re right. I will take her to the warehouse" Novie was confused by Danny\'s words. She wanted to ask but Ken kept on poking her cheeks like a five-year-old boy.

"What is it?" she asked Ken in annoyance after the man started smelling her hair like a psycho.

"I will go back to the office tomorrow and I was thinking of staying in my apartment next to my office."Ken started as he intertwined her hair to his finger.

"Ok, what do you want me to do?" she asked in confusion, the man pinches her nose repeatedly.

"Silly, I want to ask if you want to live with me or you want to stay at the doctor\'s house" he teasingly said.

Novie chuckled and forget the issue earlier, "Where else should I go?" she replied while stopping his hand from pinching her cheeks.

Ken chuckled and started poking her waist which made her boy to arched and laughed, they were both laughing when Danny suddenly pressed the brake which made their body fell from the chair.

"A little consideration, please. I was dumped!" Danny yelled at them, they both became silent while holding their laugh.

"Dump? Was she your girlfriend" Ken asked Danny while hugging her waist.

"No, she\'s not my girlfriend" Danny replied and started the car.

"Then she didn\'t dump you, she rejected you and there\'s a difference" Ken replied in a casual tone, disregarding Danny\'s feeling.

Danny didn\'t respond, instead, he sped up the car which made them both hold onto their chairs.

When they reached Claire\'s house, Ken and Novie\'s face were both drained, Danny drove so fast and kept on overtaking the car in front which made their body to slide from their chairs repeatedly.

As they got out of the car, Danny smirked at them, "rejected huh!" hearing those words, Novie turned to Ken and hit his stomach with her elbow while glaring at him.

"Next time you tease him, make sure we\'re not in the car" then she marched inside the house after she felt a bitter taste in her throat.
