This time, the officer's words left both Michael and Melvin dumbfounded, as they stared at him with blank expressions on their faces.
It seemed that the officer mistook the expression on their faces, as though they admitted that they had been exposed. He became even more arrogant as he said, "Doing something like this in broad daylight, and while driving. Do you know the risks of doing that? If you end up in an accident, it doesn't matter if you yourselves end up being harmed, but what happens if someone innocent ends up being injured because of you?
For such a reckless behavior, you will have to bear responsibility. Even though nothing has happened, we have to discourage such behavior in the future."
And as the officer spoke, he reached his waist, taking the handcuffs, while moving back a little, as he said, "Okay, both of you get out of the car right now. You better cooperate, because if you try to resist a rest, that will add another crime to your name."
It was only at this moment that Melvin and Michael came back to their senses. Melvin gazed at the officer, this time, expression became cold.
"Do you even know what you are talking about? Do you know the reason why I am like this? You are already coming to a conclusion, without even asking the relationship between the two of us?" Melvin asked as she glared at the officer.
The officer on the other hand could not help but raise his brows slightly upon hearing Melvin's questions. But then again, he seemed to think of something, before his expression turned fierce.
He glared back at Melvin, before he said, "What relationship exist between the two of you, don't you know? Additionally, do I need to blatantly say what it was that you were doing? Or, do I need any more evidence than your current appearance, to know what was happening?
Miss, you better stop wasting my time. You better cooperate, or things will only get bad for you."
This time, Melvin could not help but chuckle. She did not do this out of amusement or excitement, but out of anger. She had never been infuriated like this.
As old as she was, 26 years old, she had never been in any relationship, having focused so much on her career. It was no wonder that she was assigned to most of the family business, and was in charge of managing most of them.
She had quite a number of admirers, but she paid them no attention, just concentrating on her career. She thought, it would not be too late for her to get into a relationship after she had stabilized everything.
But now, unexpectedly, someone was associating her with Michael. She had to admit, Michael was a good candidate for a partner. But then again, there were some limitations.
First of all, there was the difference between the background between the two of them. As a grown up, she understood that the possibility of the two of them getting together was quite low. Most probably, Michael had already been engaged to someone by his family.
Secondly, Michael was younger than herself. Michael was younger by an entire 8 years, younger than even her youngest brother, Alex, who was 21 years old.
So, no matter what, in terms of logic and morally, she found it impossible for the two of them to get into a relationship. Of course, she admired Michael, but not romantically.
And now, just from the words that this officer was saying, his insinuation was quite clear.
"I don't have time to waste with you." Melvin shook her head as she said in anger.
After that, she glanced at Michael and asked, "Could you please lend me your phone? Mine was taken away by those crooks. I need to contact someone."
Michael had intended to say something initially, but after Melvin spoke up, he decided not to say anything. Instead, he simply handed Melvin his phone, after unlocking it.
Melvin quickly dialed a number, before she began making a call. As for whom she was calling, Michael had no idea.
Outside the car, the officer was getting a little impatient. But even then, he seemed a little puzzled. Was Melvin's reaction not a little too exaggerated?
They were both adults, so, why was she reacting so violently? Additionally, he only claimed that it was a mistake for them to do such a thing while driving. When did he say that they could not do it, especially if they were alone, and not on the road while driving?
Regardless, when he realized that Melvin was making a call, he could not help but feel a little irritated. Without hesitation, he pulled the car's door open, and roughly grabbed Michael's t-shirt by the shoulder, before he tried to pull him out of the car.
At the same time as he exerted force, he said, "You brats, you only know how to flaunt your family influence. But let me tell you, this time, no matter the influence that your family has, it doesn't matter.
Once you break the law, you will have to face the consequences. You are driving without a driving license, and you are even engaging in activities that put other motorists in danger.
This time, you will have to understand that-"
It was just that, the officer was forced to stop talking, when he suddenly realized something. Despite him pulling for quite a while, he had not even shaken Michael in the slightest.
Michael was still seated in the car, looking at him with a cold expression. It was as though all the effort that the officer was putting in, trying to pull Michael out of the car, was in vain.
It was a kin to an ant trying to shake a tree. And at the moment, despite exerting all his strength, to the extent that he put away the handcuffs, and used both of his hands, only the t-shirt seemed to be affected.
Due to the strain, the t-shirt had already begun tearing, which finally brought the officer back to his senses.
And as he looked back at Michael, who was gazing at him with a cold expression, the office suddenly felt cold all over.
Was this a gaze that a young man was supposed to possess? He could clearly tell that Michael was a teenager, so, how was it possible that he had such a bearing, at a young age like this?
Was it possible that his family background was very formidable? Even though the officer had been arrogant all this time, claiming that he did not care about Michael's family background, it was because of the Audi.
He thought that the Audi was not that expensive, which was the reason why he believed that Michael's family background could not allow him to be able to escape punishment for breaking the law.
This was not his usual attitude when communicating with other people, but today, he was simply not in a good mood. His wife had actually cheated on him, and with a younger kid, who was from an influential family.
That was something that had irritated him the most, and the anger within him only got worse the moment that he saw Michael, and Melvin, who was obviously older than him.
"Dad, there is someone here causing trouble without any reason. Can you help me handle it for now?" At this moment, Melvin suddenly spoke, with the call having connected.
"Melvin? You are okay? Where are you right now? I will come over immediately. And, whose phone are you using right now?" A slightly aged voice came from the phone's earpiece, which Michael easily picked up with his sensitive hearing.
As for the officer, he could not hear what the person on the other end of the call was saying. But he could clearly hear what Melvin was saying.
At this moment, he was left momentarily dumbfounded. He had thought that Michael was the rich kid, using his family background, to pick up ladies.
Judging by Melvin's appearance, she seemed to be at an age that she was expected to be married. Most probably, she had already gotten married to someone.
So, seeing Michael, who was younger, with possibly another man's wife, it reminded him of his own situation. This was why he was handling things like this.
But now, was it possible that Michael was the one that was being kept? But as he thought about that, he suddenly got even more angry.
What was the difference? If he was the one that was being kept, did that not imply that there was a possibility that this woman was using another person's wealth, in order to support a man?
At this moment, he really did not care about the fact that he was thinking too much. After all, even if what he thought was true, what did that have to do with him?
"Dad, I'm okay. Michael saved me. He was bringing me back home, when we were suddenly stopped at a police checkpoint. But there is an unreasonable police officer here, with incredulous accusations." Melvin responded calmly.
"What? Michael was the one that saved you? Oh, tell me, where are you? I will handle it immediately." The elderly's voice, partly excited, partly infuriated, quickly asked.
Melvin went ahead and gave the location that they were in, before she finally ended the call. And as soon as she did, she realized that the officer was glaring them.
Looking at those red eyes, she could not help but wonder, had they really provoked this guy somewhere else before? But no matter how much she thought about it, she could not remember interacting with him at all.
"Hey, what's going on? Is there a problem?" Suddenly, another voice reached the three of them, making the officer come back to his senses, as his expression shifted subtly.
