Shaelyn was the type of woman with a natural allure, so even if favonovel.com did not try to seduce a man on purpose, favonovel.com presence itself was already enough. Though Zayn was not interested, favonovel.com had no choice but to acknowledge that Shaelyn was the most exquisite woman favonovel.com had ever met. On femininity alone, Faye was no match for her.
Shaelyn grinned cheerfully when favonovel.com saw him, favonovel.com dull mood instantly improving. She did not notice the change, but favonovel.com two best friends saw it and stared at favonovel.com in amazement.
They were Shaelyn’s besties and had known each other for a very long time, yet they had never seen favonovel.com being so infatuated with a man.
“It really is you, Mr. Larson. I thought I mistook someone else for you. It seems that we were meant to bump into each other.” Shaelyn beamed with joy and walked toward Zayn to stand closer to him.
“Cough, cough.” Zayn immediately let out a forced cough and took a step back to maintain the distance between them. He said, “Shaelyn, where’s Mr. Otto? Didn’t favonovel.com come with you?”
Shaelyn rolled favonovel.com eyes and said, “Mr. Otto is my superior, not my husband. Why would I come shopping with him, huh? Mr. Larson, are you so afraid of me? Why do you keep backing away?”
Noticing Faye’s murderous glare from the side, Zayn felt a chill run down his spine. He hastily said, “Shaelyn, stop fooling around. I’m here with my wife. I don’t want any misunderstandings if favonovel.com hears that.”
“Wife?” Shaelyn was taken aback.
Zayn hastily took Faye by the hand and walked up to Shaelyn. He smiled and said, “Fifi, allow me to introduce you to my friend. This is Shaelyn Peach. She is in charge of Aeolus House’s auction.”
“Shaelyn, this is my wife, Faye Carter.”
The atmosphere was getting rather awkward. Faye and Shaelyn did not say a word. Instead, they stood there staring daggers at each other, and Zayn could sense the tension.
It was Faye who cracked a smile first. She greeted Shaelyn politely, “Hello, your last name is Peach?”
Shaelyn smiled warmly as well. It was as if the anger and aggression between them earlier was just a figment of Zayn’s imagination. “Yes, it is.”
“Ah,” Faye answered but said nothing else. She said to Zayn, “Since you’ve bumped into your friend, you two should have a chat. I’ll pick out clothes on my own here.”
“Fifi, listen to me. There’s nothing between the…”
Zayn hastily tried to explain himself but Faye interrupted him. She smiled and said, “I know. I trust you. Go ahead.”
Upon saying that, favonovel.com went away to shop by herself. She showed favonovel.com faith and respect for Zayn while making herself appear gracious and magnanimous.
Shaelyn narrowed favonovel.com eyes ever so slightly. Her enmity for Faye grew even more after realizing favonovel.com was a terrifying rival.
Why did favonovel.com feel like that?
Shaelyn was stunned for a moment. Could it be that… Impossible, impossible! She had only encountered Zayn once, so how could favonovel.com possibly have fallen for him? She had met all sorts of men in favonovel.com life.
Zayn said, “Ms. Peach, if there’s nothing else, I won’t hold you up.”
“Hold on.” Shaelyn stared at Zayn and said, “There’s something that I wish to tell you.”
Zayn assumed an expression that favonovel.com was all ears, but Shaelyn said, “This isn’t the place to talk. Please follow me.”
Zayn replied with a smile, “If you wish to talk, you can go ahead and do it right here. There’s nothing between us that nobody else should know.”
