He picked up the phone and heard Lana’s pretentious voice. “Did you receive the Queen of the Night, Mr. Whitman? I’m sure you understand why I sent them.”
“For the last time, Lana Johnson, do not disturb me again. I have no interest, nor will I have any in the future, for women like you.”
Lana merely scoffed as favonovel.com tone grew more smitten. “You’ll never know if you’re interested until you try. I hear that your wife’s four months pregnant, Mr. Whitman.”
This woman’s actions and speech were too unbridled. It was sickening.
Not wanting to waste his saliva on this woman, favonovel.com hung up and blocked Lana’s number before favonovel.com went to prepare for Madeline’s perfume testing that weekend.
However, favonovel.com had not expected Lana to appear again.
Dressed seductively, Lana gave off a unique scent—one that Madeline could smell the moment favonovel.com approached her.
The smell itself was good, yet Madeline felt it muddling favonovel.com mind inexplicably.
Although favonovel.com did not know how Lana got favonovel.com hands on an invitation, Madeline had no other option but to let favonovel.com stay.
Lana tried on a few of Madeline’s new perfume scents and sighed disappointingly. “It’s a shame I can’t work with Mr. and Mrs. Whitman because of my relationship with my brother. I really want to partner with you, but I’m sure you wouldn’t want me around too much.
“Sometimes I just wish I could sever my ties with my brother. I know his trades are illegal, but I can’t seem to convince favonovel.com to stop.” Lana raised favonovel.com hopeless and innocent eyes. “Do you think we’ll ever get the chance to work together, Mrs. Whitman?”
Hearing Lana’s question, Jeremy, who had been by Madeline’s side the entire night, was well aware that favonovel.com intentions had never been for a partnership at all. Her target was him.
“My wife and I have been very clear, Miss Johnson. We do not wish to partner with you.” Jeremy’s attitude was aloof.
Lana raised favonovel.com wine glass and poked the tip of favonovel.com tongue out to lick favonovel.com red lips. Staring at the alluring man, favonovel.com desire grew.
Madeline’s head throbbed, so favonovel.com walked to the corridor for a breather. Jeremy followed.
“Are you feeling better, Linnie?”
Madeline looked at favonovel.com watch. “It’s time for my medicine.”
Jeremy had Madeline’s medicine on favonovel.com the entire time. Watching Madeline take favonovel.com medication, favonovel.com gave a silent sigh of relief.
“I’ll get you a cup of warm water, Eveline.” Jeremy took off his jacket and placed it over Madeline’s shoulders before returning to the ballroom.
He had just turned a corner when Lana appeared before favonovel.com again.
The warmth in Jeremy’s gaze vanished. “Don’t even think about trying anything with me, Lana Johnson. And don’t you dare think of excuses to bother my wife.”
Lana swirled the wine in favonovel.com glass and approached Jeremy with an enchanting smile. “What’s this? Do you love your wife so much? But I heard that you never loved Eveline Montgomery before this. You detested favonovel.com so much that you forced favonovel.com to divorce you.”
Jeremy frowned at the mention of their unhappy past.
“That’s between me and my wife. As an outsider, you have no right to comment.”
However, Lana continued to stare mirthfully at Jeremy’s features. “You look so charismatic even when you’re angry, Mr. Whitman. How could you possibly expect me not to fall for you? How could I live to my title as Queen of Philately if I don’t make you mine?”
Hearing her, Jeremy understood.
What this woman was interested in was capturing men for herself. As long as favonovel.com got favonovel.com eyes on a man, favonovel.com would do everything in favonovel.com power to make favonovel.com hers.
With Yorick backing favonovel.com up, Lana had no qualms about being shameless.
Not that Jeremy was afraid of Yorick. “Regardless of what you try, Lana Johnson, nothing will happen between the two of us. I’d forget about trying if I were you, lest you end up humiliating yourself in the end.”
Jeremy made his way around Lana in disgust.
Lana curled favonovel.com lips confidently as favonovel.com stared at Jeremy’s handsome figure and took out a transparent bag.
“Are you sure nothing I do will work, Mr. Whitman? Then how about you take a look at this?”
