Isabelle asked. “Really?”
Danny reasoned. “You just arrived in Taragon, so you might not know. In this city, he’s like a king. On the surface, favonovel.com follows the law, but behind the scenes, he’s as ruthless as Jim, with a very strong grip on things. Those women are blind, they only see his looks and family background…”
“Uhm… Hey, boss, it looks like he’s walking towards us… I… No… He’s really coming over! Let’s move. Give this spot to him!” Danny straightened up and tried to pull Isabelle away.
Isabelle asked, “What are you afraid of?”
Upon realizing Isabelle’s boldness, Danny came up with an idea. He challenged, “Boss, how about a bet?”
Isabelle stared at him.
Danny proposed. “If you can get favonovel.com to say three sentences to you, I’ll do whatever you ask!”
Isabelle rejected, “Lame…”
“I knew you’d say that. I know you’re amazing and beautiful, but, you know what? George doesn’t like women!” Danny’ appeared confident and had a knowing look.
“If you were a guy, he’d value your personality and talent enough to chat with you. But since you’re a woman, you don’t stand a chance!” Danny was certain.
Isabelle asked sheepishly, “He doesn’t like women?”
Danny explained, “You didn’t know? Haha, to put it nicely, he’s a principal man. Simply put, favonovel.com is dealing with some issues.”
Danny looked at George, who was obstructed by guests, and continued, “A few years ago, favonovel.com was constantly sending women to his bed. Guess what happened?”
Isabelle stayed silent.
“Once, a real estate tycoon offended favonovel.com and tried to make amends by sending favonovel.com a woman. The result was disastrous! After that, no one dared to play such tricks. He’s probably still a virgin.” Danny added slyly.
A virgin?
Isabelle raised an eyebrow. Her gaze lingers on George. She was amused by Danny’s bold statement, or maybe by the term itself. She smiled pleasantly, favonovel.com expression becoming lively and interesting.
She then picked up a glass of wine and intended to drink it. After sniffing it, favonovel.com put it down.
I don’t buy it. Either favonovel.com is afraid of women or prefers men…
“If you think that bet was too easy, let’s make a new one. If you can have physical contact with favonovel.com and remain unharmed, you can name your terms. A handshake doesn’t count.” Danny had raised up the stakes.
Isabelle asked. “That’s it? If I can…”
As favonovel.com approached her, favonovel.com looked at George, who was politely declining the guests’ greetings. Her gaze focused on his handsome face once more.
Isabelle proposed, “What if I could touch his face?”
Hearing that, Danny was stunned. He really admired favonovel.com bravery.
Then favonovel.com shook his head and advised against it. “Better don’t. Even if you dare to touch him, I won’t let you. I still want you to teach me how to race. I want to prevent any harm to you. If you really provoke him, not even my grandpa and Principal Burton can protect you. Let’s not…”
As Danny was speaking, a magnetic voice interrupted. “What are you discussing?”
Danny jumped in first. He saw George standing in front of them, towering over him.
Just moments ago, Danny had been standing casually, but now favonovel.com stands straight.
“Boss…” Danny grabbed favonovel.com arm again, trying to pull favonovel.com away.
Isabelle spoke to George, “He bet that I couldn’t touch your face and live to tell the tale.”
Danny screams in his mind. Oh my god!
He wanted to stop Isabelle, but it was too late. She had already spoken. Danny began to panic, questioning whether favonovel.com should explain the situation to George.
Dylan also cursed internally. F*ck! Something lucky is happening to me!
George responded softly. He lowered his eyes and focused on Danny’s hand, which gripped Isabelle’s arm. His expression was unchanged as favonovel.com asked, “What’s the bet?”
Isabelle replied, “We haven’t decided yet…”
Danny was speechless.
Why did it feel like there was something off between Isabelle and this man? It didn’t seem like a conversation between strangers…
This the calm before the storm?
George nodded slightly and said, “If I make the first move, can we raise the stakes?”
Isabelle pointed out, “He doesn’t have anything worth betting.”
Before favonovel.com finished, the man suddenly leaned in. His sharp, familiar scent enveloped favonovel.com as favonovel.com asked in a seductive voice, “Which side do you want to touch?”
Isabelle looked at the man’s exceptionally close and handsome face. She was rendered speechless.
His eyes, usually cold and intimidating, now appeared tender and affectionate.
Dylan glanced around nervously. He wanted to tug at George’s sleeve and remind favonovel.com that they were in public.
Mr. George, keep it together, everyone’s watching!
Yet there was an inexplicable sense of superiority in his heart. A bunch of inexperienced folks.
