Chapter 24
“Do I need a reason?” She turned her gaze towards him.
“Definitely. People’s actions are motivated by a variety of factors.
She arched her brow and said, “Then… perhaps I didn’t have any ambitions,” after which she laughed.
If I didn’t have anything I wanted to do in life, my personal goal would be to have a quiet and unreMarktin able existence.
He turned his gaze to her. Which logical fallacy was this, exactly? Is it true that working for a large firm is an amazing experience?
“Yes, I don’t like scheming.”
Who told you that a huge firm would be so devious in their business dealings?
She flashed a grin. “I saw it on the TV show.”
“Then you should watch fewer TV shows in the future.”
The TV series she watched could even count by the fingers on one hand.
“Alright, I will accept your suggestion. “May I leave now?”
After making her turn, she started walking away.
He displayed a hostile expression with his eyebrows up and eyes narrowed. A strong barrier of defense had been erected by Luna Greenwich above him.
But from his point of view, the reason why she stayed in school as a teacher should have something to do with Aven Harris.
When he considered this, he was immediately overcome with a wave of unhappiness.
The following day, they drove away from the location.
While they were driving, he questioned her by inquiring, “Do you have plans for tonight?”
She turned her gaze towards him. “Working.”
“Cancel it. Tonight, I have the privilege of attending a business dinner, and I would want for you to come along with me. As a thank-you for my assistance in rescuing you from that sticky situation at the pub the other time,”
“I thought I thanked you the last time.”
“As far as I’m concerned, that does not constitute gratitude; rather, it was torment. It would be nice if you could make me comfy if you wish to show your appreciation.
She made a pouting face and purred.
“I declare in advance that I do not drink, nor do I help you seduce others.”
He gave her a chilly gaze before saying, “Don’t overestimate yourself.” You do not meet the requirements.”
She wore a frown. Oh, sh*t, did he just say that she was unattractive?
Wow, this capitalist really showed his true colors.
After noticing that she was upset, he gave her a questioning look and asked, “Are you aware of the reasons why you are not qualified?”
She stared at him with a perplexed expression.
He whispered to her with a voice that only they could hear, “Your skills in bed are not that great.”
She became red in the face, pushed him away, and squinted her eyes at him.
This guy… Shameless.
While he grinned and cocked his head to the side, he looked through the window.
When the driver looked in the rearview mirror and observed this scene, he couldn’t help but think about how unusual it was for his powerful boss to smile because of a lady.
After the afternoon classes had ended, Wills Waltson’s secretary and Michal waited outside the school to pick up Luna. They did so as soon as she had left the building.
The secretary shopped with her for a new clothing, helped her apply makeup, and gave her a new haircut. She was almost unable to identify herself as she looked in the mirror for the first time.
The clothes she was wearing made her feel uncomfortable, despite the fact that her face had not changed.
She seldom wore dresses that were this short, so this was a first for her.
This dress was made of the same material as wedding dresses, and it had a white backdrop with small yellow flowers all over it. It gave the impression that her skin was softer and pinker, and it made her appear to be an elegant and seductive young girl.
Her face looked fantastic with the shining hair on her forehead and the fluffy cut that was given to her hair.
She stood close to 170 centimeters tall, and the high heel shoes that were 8 centimeters made her body appear to be of a more petite build.
She turned around and looked at the female secretary. She had a worried expression on her face as she placed one hand on her chest. “Isn’t this outfit a bit awkward?”
“Don’t worry, Miss Greenwich ,” the secretary said with a giggle, “I swear that tonight you will become the attention of all the audience.”
She let out a breath. But… She wanted to say that she just wanted to quietly hide in a corner to have a meal.
She doesn’t want to be the center of attention at all, okay?
