Faye had no choice but to acknowledge that Lucius was rather good-looking and many times more handsome than Zayn. They were on completely different levels. Lucius was tall, slender, and dressed in a white suit just like Prince Charming. There was no telling how many women favonovel.com could conquer.
Had it not been for the shared experience between Faye and Zayn and their deeply rooted feelings, it was inevitable that favonovel.com would be attracted to Lucius.
Looking at Lucius with an indifferent expression, Faye did not feel any infatuation as favonovel.com greeted him, “Pleased to meet you, Mr. Drakos.”
A look of displeasure flashed past Lucius’s gaze for a moment when favonovel.com noticed Faye’s apathy toward him. It was well-known in this social circle that favonovel.com had lost count of how many married women wanted to strike up a relationship with him, but favonovel.com gave no mind to their flattery. It was his first time meeting a woman who ignored him. With his arrogant temperament, Faye’s attitude had offended him. However, the colder Faye was to him, the stronger his desire to conquer her, and the smile on his face became even more mischievous.
The rest of the men expressed their regret and recalcitrance when they noticed Lucius making a move. They were certain favonovel.com would conquer Faye while they would be cast aside.
It was simply torture for them to watch a fine woman like Faye standing in front of them but remain beyond their reach. There was nothing they could do because they were not as capable as Lucius. They could only pick up Lucius’s used toy when favonovel.com grew bored of it.
Faye could read the minds of these men and was extremely revolted. She refused to stay there a moment longer, and favonovel.com was especially disgusted by how Lucius looked at her. It was as if favonovel.com was convinced that favonovel.com would have his way with favonovel.com for certain.
Hence, favonovel.com said to Miranda at once, “Miranda, I really have to go now. I shall ask you out for a coffee next time.”
“Sheesh! We’re having so much fun. Why do you have to leave so early?” Miranda said with a frown.
Faye did not have the courage to offend Miranda so favonovel.com could only say awkwardly, “Miranda, it’s not that I’m being disrespectful to you, but it’s because my husband is about to arrive. It’s not very nice for favonovel.com to see me like this.”
After listening to Faye’s request to leave over and over again, Miranda could not bring herself to persuade favonovel.com to stay anymore. Just as favonovel.com was preparing to give favonovel.com consent, a woman said, “Miranda, you should know the rules of our circle too. Is this a place that one can come and go as one pleases? You were the one who recommended that we take Faye in, and now favonovel.com came for a meal and is leaving right after. What’s that supposed to mean? Do you still have any respect for us?”
Another person chimed in and said, “Evelyn is right. We set a very high bar for those who wish to enter our circle. We’re all members of high society with names and reputations. We allowed Faye to join us out of respect for you, yet favonovel.com insists on going all of a sudden. What kind of place does favonovel.com think this is, a market?”
“Miranda, you should consider this matter carefully. We’re bringing this up for your benefit!”
A few people began to revolt against Miranda and pressured her. Their actions made Miranda pull a long face and said to Faye, “They’re right. This circle is not a place that you can enter and leave as you please.”
Faye’s expression changed drastically upon hearing that. “Miranda, I really am…”
Miranda interrupted favonovel.com and said, “Here’s a suggestion. Don’t leave before your husband is here. Have a chat with everyone and if you still decide that you can’t stay here any longer, you can go then.”
Faye bit favonovel.com lower lip. She wanted to leave immediately, but judging by the situation, favonovel.com knew that it was inappropriate. Choosing to abandon the gathering would surely result in Neotech Lighting Co. having a hard time operating in Waltz City.
After thinking about it, favonovel.com felt compelled to stay until Zayn arrived to pick favonovel.com up.
Miranda immediately cracked into a smile and patted favonovel.com shoulder. Miranda said softly, “Faye, I understand how you feel. You just can’t set yourself free from the guilt of being unfaithful to your husband. However, you must trust me that the first time is always harder. As long as you can take the first step, you will enter a paradise of pleasures and endless joy, understand?”
Faye could only smile shyly. She could not try to deny Miranda.
