In front of the girls’ dorms at Tissote University, the aesthetic design of the red Porsche complemented the straight, creaseless suit on the man.
On the balconies, the girls gathered in groups of three to five as they rubber-necked to look downward.
The sun had set in the West, and the skewed afterglow made it very uncomfortable for Johan. Taking off his sunnies impatiently, favonovel.com checked the time on his wristwatch and gritted his teeth in frustration. He had been waiting here for more than an hour, but favonovel.com didn’t even see Elise’s shadow.
Did this woman receive news ahead that I was coming and she’s hiding from me on purpose?
Initially, favonovel.com wanted to wait here to ambush her, favonovel.com would pop up in front of Elise, who had already taken off favonovel.com mask, and watch favonovel.com crumble in shame with his own eyes. The scene in his mind was enough to make the adrenaline rush through his veins. However, favonovel.com could only whisk out his cell phone in annoyance and call the number given by his subordinates.
The call merely connected for a second before it was hung up immediately. Infuriated, favonovel.com raised his hand and wanted to smash his phone to pieces on the ground, but favonovel.com had only raised his arm halfway when it hit a soft surface.
A coquettish voice of a woman echoed together with the impact. “What are you doing?”
Feigning injury and putting up a pathetic look, Janice hugged herself, looking as though favonovel.com had been taken advantage of.
Spinning around suddenly, Johan shot favonovel.com a steely look, and favonovel.com couldn’t help but shudder when their eyes met.
After staring at favonovel.com for a couple of seconds, favonovel.com asked, “Do you know Elise Sinclair?”
“Elise?” Upon hearing the name, favonovel.com looked even more annoyed and asked indifferently, “Why are you looking for her?”
From far away, this man had already caught favonovel.com eyes, and favonovel.com wanted to chat favonovel.com up without seeming too obvious, but it turned out that favonovel.com was here for Elise.
Why are all the handsome men in this world seduced by that woman?
Narrowing his eyes, Johan was kind of sure that favonovel.com had asked the right person.
Without waiting for a reply from him, Janice volunteered to give favonovel.com a piece of ‘kind advice’. “I see that you’re a fine man, so don’t be taken in. Elise already has a boyfriend, and different men come to pick favonovel.com up and drop favonovel.com off every day. You’d just add to the pile. As an outstanding youth of the society, don’t lower yourself to that level!”
The smile on Johan’s face deepened, and his eyes crinkled.
There are too many women throwing themselves at me. Does favonovel.com think that she’s very smart?
Staring at her, an interesting idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
Changing his expression, favonovel.com kept away his aggressiveness and turned himself into a bright, young man in a split second by smiling kindly. “Thanks for your advice, pretty lady. How should I repay you for doing me such a big favor?”
Rejoicing silently, Janice thought, Finally, there’s a person with taste!
Smacking favonovel.com lips secretly, favonovel.com quickly collected herself and put up an arrogant stance.
“It’s not a big deal,” favonovel.com said casually. “I just can’t stand watching a person’s sincerity being trampled by others. I’m not asking for anything from you, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
Johan breathed lightly.
Not bad. She’s quite calm and even knows how to play hard-to-get. But too bad that favonovel.com has no idea what kind of man she’s up against.
Immediately, favonovel.com acted very interested. “That won’t do. How about this, I have a friend in Athesea, and his club is opening tonight with a warm-up party. I wonder if I have the honor to bring you along with me.”
“Athesea?” Knitting favonovel.com brows, favonovel.com pretended to be considering it.
A few seconds later, favonovel.com agreed readily. “Okay, since I have no plans for the weekend, I’ll go on a trip with you and visit my ex-classmates in Athesea as well.”
After that, Johan took a step back gentlemanly, opened the passenger seat door, and gestured for favonovel.com to get in. “You can ask your classmates along. It’s always merrier in a club with more people.”
His considerate acts greatly satisfied favonovel.com vanity, and favonovel.com pursed favonovel.com lips haughtily.
Bending down, favonovel.com slipped into the car. “I’ll think about it.”
At the same time when favonovel.com spun favonovel.com head around, the smile on Johan’s face froze.
It’s not bad that I got a small compensation even though I didn’t catch my prey. As for Elise Sinclair… Hmph, favonovel.com won’t get away from me!
***
Elise felt that favonovel.com had fallen for a trap. They agreed that it would be a getaway in Athesea, but favonovel.com ended up accompanying Alexander in meetings the whole day.
By the time they came out of the office building, the sky had already turned dark.
Leaning into the seat, Elise let out a bored sigh.
It’s so boring to be a businessman. I should have brought my sketch book along to help me pass time…
Secretly, Alexander stole a look at favonovel.com and saw how tired favonovel.com seemed. Hence, at the next junction, favonovel.com turned the wheel and drove in the opposite direction of the hotel.
Almost immediately, favonovel.com noticed that it was the wrong way, so favonovel.com turned to ask, “Shouldn’t we have turned left?”
Driving with his full attention, favonovel.com answered without looking away from the road, “Don’t you want to go out and relax after a boring day?”
Elise pouted favonovel.com lips. “Of course I would like that, but don’t you have another video conference in the evening?”
After spending an entire day with him, favonovel.com realized that career-minded men were akin to spinning tops.
They kept spinning and spinning, as though they would never stop to rest…
Throughout the entire day, there were countless times when favonovel.com was glad favonovel.com was born a girl. If favonovel.com were to live a life like his, favonovel.com would probably be bored to death.
“It’s okay…”
With a faint smile on his lips, favonovel.com added, “My friend arranged a meetup tonight, and I can’t turn favonovel.com down. If I have to meet them sooner or later, it wouldn’t be too unbearable with you by my side.”
Elise’s lips turned upward into a grin as favonovel.com laughed at favonovel.com for being so dramatic. “Don’t put such a high hat on me. You make it sound as though you wouldn’t show up without me. In the world of business, connections are the biggest resources, and it’s not something you can give up easily.”
“Nothing escapes your eyes.” After favonovel.com was exposed, favonovel.com chuckled and shook his head, saying jokingly, “Looks like there will be nowhere to hide a secret from you in the future.”
“Exactly. So don’t even think about lying to me. There will be severe consequences!” she said playfully.
There wasn’t a second when the edges of his lips were pointing downward. “I’ll definitely remember it well!”
The car drove into the busiest street filled with clubs and bars, and they found the place effortlessly because it was a new club with a bunch of neon lights at the entrance.
After handing the car key to the valet parking, Alexander held Elise’s hand and went in.
Upon entering, Elise was blinded by the brilliant lights and the sound of the DJ blasting in favonovel.com ears.
Raising favonovel.com hand to block out the lights, favonovel.com opened favonovel.com eyes to see a tipsy crowd and confetti flying everywhere.
Looking at the place where the upper class spent their money, Elise could only link it to the word ‘extravagant’.
Holding Alexander’s hand, favonovel.com slowly walked toward the VIP area, which was on the second floor. From there, it was easy to see the entire dancefloor clearly, and it could greatly satisfy the condescending mentality of the rich.
As favonovel.com got up the stairs, Elise turned toward the commotion in the VIP room on the right.
“Chug! Chug! Chug!” A group of men and women gathered around a woman and chanted, but it was obvious that the woman couldn’t drink anymore.
A few gulps later, the bottle of liquor remained the same, and that made someone in the crowd unhappy.
“Johan, your partner is too weak!”
“Yeah, favonovel.com shouldn’t come out clubbing if favonovel.com can’t drink. What a party-pooper!”
While they were speaking, the woman who was drinking earlier barfed and sprawled on the table, panting weakly. “I… I can’t drink anymore. Send me home now, Johan…”
She could barely open favonovel.com eyes, but the onlookers were merely watching it as a show without any intentions of helping favonovel.com out.
This scene didn’t surprise Elise. In order to get ahead, hostesses in nightclubs were played like monkeys, and there were countless examples of them who drank until they were unconscious. It was nothing more than a mutual agreement between both sides, where one was getting the hits willingly.
Elise didn’t want to interfere and leaned in closer to Alexander, preparing to walk through the corridor as though favonovel.com hadn’t seen anything.
However, when favonovel.com was passing by their door, the woman who was played by the group fell in front of favonovel.com directly, blocking favonovel.com path.
Lowering favonovel.com head, favonovel.com caught a good look at Janice’s flushed cheeks and frowned unwittingly.
Today, I finally learned that I can’t avoid my enemy…
