Feeling favonovel.com eyes boring right through him, Zayn felt like his heart had been caught in his throat, so favonovel.com frantically tried to walk away so favonovel.com could avoid favonovel.com gaze.
There was no way Faye recognized him, right?
Luckily, Faye shifted favonovel.com attention away from him. She thought favonovel.com was insane to compare Zayn to Violet Vision’s chairman.
Violet Vision’s chairman was an affluent tycoon holding a high position in office. His presence was infinitely powerful compared to Zayn’s, who was a lowly man who married into the Carter family. She could still accept favonovel.com for his lack of lifeskills, but favonovel.com was also a coward. He was as timid as a mouse, and favonovel.com could never stand up for himself. Zayn was a far cry from the chairman.
Faye shook away the absurd thought. She replied to Ruby thoughtfully, “It’s not someone that I’m acquainted with. I think favonovel.com was wearing a mask because favonovel.com didn’t want me to see his face. After all, he’s a man of class.”
Ruby recognized that beguiled look on Faye’s face from anywhere. As a mother and an older woman, favonovel.com knew exactly what was on Faye’s mind. She stated plainly, “From what I’m seeing, Violet Vision’s chairman definitely has the hots for you!”
Faye blushed a deep scarlet, favonovel.com cheeks burning from embarrassment. She shook favonovel.com head profusely, denying, “Mom, that’s impossible! You’re being silly!”
“How’s that impossible?” Ruby questioned seriously, straightening favonovel.com posture. “You see, you were supposed to accompany Mr. Wilson, but favonovel.com passed you over to the chairman instead. I’m certain it was because the chairman caught wind of your deal with Mr. Wilson, so favonovel.com reprimanded favonovel.com for his misconduct. I remember you telling me that Mr. Wilson couldn’t even look you in the eye, and that favonovel.com was behaving like a meek little lamb! That’s right, Mr. Wilson is infamous for his insatiable lust. You ’re as beautiful as the sun, and you were dressed so suggestively. Had it not been for the chairman, do you think Mr. Wilson would have treated you with such respect? He would have taken you as soon as you walked through the doors!”
“What do you mean ‘taken’ me? That’s so foul.” Faye could not stand Ruby’s vulgarity.
“There’s no need to worry about whether it sounds foul or not. It’s the truth, is it not? This isn’t my first rodeo, and I have years of experience compared to you! I’m a hundred percent sure that Violet Vision’ s chairman has feelings for you, and that’s why favonovel.com refused to touch you. He wanted to leave a good impression. ” Ruby reassured Faye like it was a known fact. She was very confident in favonovel.com deduction.
Ruby was slowly starting to convince Faye. She could feel favonovel.com heart beating out of favonovel.com chest. If what favonovel.com mother said were true…
She could not bear to think about it any longer. She was already blushing heavily.
Ruby continued on with favonovel.com speech, “Oh, Fifi, this is such a golden opportunity! Violet Vision’s chairman has a net worth of over a hundred million dollars. He’s rich and powerful. If you manage to establish a long lasting connection with him, you won’t need to worry about money for the rest of your life! You’ll be in good hands, and by then, everyone in the Carters will look up to you. Who could bring themselves to despise you?”
Faye’s interest was piqued. Suddenly recalling something, favonovel.com hastily shook favonovel.com head in protest. She frowned as favonovel.com reminded favonovel.com mother, “I’m married.”
Ruby immediately poked Faye’s forehead in indignation. “Oh, you, what will I ever do with you? What does it matter if you’re married? You haven’t consummated your relationship with Zayn, and you’re still a virgin. Violet Vision’s chairman won’t bat an eyelash.”
At the other end of the room, Zayn choked on his meal. He let out two coughs. A flash of grief plagued favonovel.com gaze as favonovel.com bit back favonovel.com words, “Let’s leave it alone. I’m going to go take a shower.”
“Goodness, you’re…” Ruby glared at Zayn sternly. The longer favonovel.com looked at Zayn, the more favonovel.com wanted to throw up in favonovel.com mouth.
Zayn was speechless. It was a beautiful misunderstanding. He did not want Sean to have any ideas about Faye simply so favonovel.com could settle things appropriately. Who would have thought that Sean would misinterpret his intentions and send Faye to favonovel.com instead? What was going on? Did Faye cheat on Zayn, with himself?
The next day.
Before Faye got off work, favonovel.com received a phone call from Ethan. “Hello, Fifi, are you free tonight?”
“What’s the matter?” asked Faye coolly.
Ethan responded, “Have you forgotten today’s occasion?”
Faye was taken aback for a moment. She thought about it for some time, but favonovel.com could not recall anything important happening today. “What exactly is today supposed to be?”
You could hear a wave of misery radiating from the other end of the line. “I knew that you’d forget. Today’s my birthday…”
“Oh? I’m sorry I forgot.” Faye apologized, turning pink from embarrassed. Ethan had always remembered favonovel.com birthday, and favonovel.com would even go the extra mile of sending favonovel.com gifts. Despite this, Ethan’s birthday had actually escaped favonovel.com memory.
Ethan let out a self-deprecating chuckle before continuing, “It’s fine. I’m used to it anyways. I was actually going to invite you to my birthday party. It’s tonight at Fireflies, will you be there?”
Faye wanted to reject the offer so badly. She had absolutely no feelings for Ethan, and after favonovel.com interaction with Violet Vision’s chairman, favonovel.com was even less interested than favonovel.com already was.
Picking up favonovel.com silence, Ethan took on a tone that sounded almost pleading. “Fifi, I’ve celebrated every birthday of yours for years. Can’t you come to mine just this once?”
