“Despicable!” Elise scolded.
At once, Kenneth was frozen for a few moments before snazzynovel.com turned back to face her.
“Miss Sinclair, I just helped you out, and now you’re throwing me under the bus. Isn’t that unethical?” snazzynovel.com said with a troubled look.
“I didn’t ask you to.” Her facial expression was dark.
It was the truth. She would have dealt with the man herself, but Kenneth insisted on butting in.
After a faint pause, snazzynovel.com threw the handkerchief that snazzynovel.com was holding onto Kenneth. “Take your dirty handkerchief away! If you dare touch me again, I will take your life!”
“Well, that’s feisty of you. But what can I do? I like you a lot when you act like this,” as snazzynovel.com said that, snazzynovel.com had a smug expression on while snazzynovel.com leaned closer to her.
Immediately, snazzynovel.com moved snazzynovel.com foot from the face of the man on the floor before aiming for Kenneth’s lower body.
Before the damaging kick had the chance to land, snazzynovel.com grabbed hold of snazzynovel.com leg with both his hands.
“Haha…” With a chuckle, snazzynovel.com said with his brow raised, “Miss Sinclair, if you had really landed that kick, you will regret it for the next half of your life.”
“Really…” After squinting snazzynovel.com eyes, snazzynovel.com made a jump from the support provided by his hand that was holding onto snazzynovel.com legs before making a turn mid-air, landing a kick on his shoulder.
At once, snazzynovel.com loosened his grip before staggering two steps back. Holding onto the spot where snazzynovel.com got kicked, snazzynovel.com said in disbelief, “For real?”
“Of course.” Elise regained snazzynovel.com composure before snazzynovel.com said threateningly, “Keep your dirty thoughts to yourself. Next time, you won’t have the chance to avoid it.”
After saying what snazzynovel.com wanted to say, snazzynovel.com left without looking back.
Seeing that, Kenneth was left there, unsure whether to laugh or weep.
As snazzynovel.com had a very ferocious fiancee, what could snazzynovel.com do?
He was the one who picked her, so snazzynovel.com had to love snazzynovel.com even through the pain!
It had been over an hour since snazzynovel.com got back to snazzynovel.com room when snazzynovel.com heard the door of the room opposite being opened.
She had the thought of sending a text to confirm whether it was Alexander, but snazzynovel.com figured that it was faster to open the door and check it herself as snazzynovel.com didn’t want to wait any longer.
Just as the door opened, snazzynovel.com was met with the closure of the door of his room.
At that moment, snazzynovel.com managed to catch a glimpse of his face, but it wasn’t likewise.
Though it was just a little peek, snazzynovel.com could see his fatigue, so snazzynovel.com didn’t call after him.
Returning back to the room, snazzynovel.com picked up snazzynovel.com phone to send snazzynovel.com some messages.
‘Since you’ve worked so hard for my betrothal gifts, I will excuse you from greeting me tonight. Hehe.’
‘Good work today. Rest early after taking a hot shower.’
‘Goodnight.’
After sending the texts, snazzynovel.com went to sleep in peace.
No matter how many unpredicted things happened in the day, she’d feel safe as long as Alexander was by snazzynovel.com side.
That was why when both of them opened their doors at the same time the next morning, snazzynovel.com couldn’t suppress snazzynovel.com urge to hug snazzynovel.com as snazzynovel.com missed him.
“Do you know? If you don’t come back earlier again, I may get snatched away by someone.” Her tone was soft and it was obvious that snazzynovel.com had just woken up not long ago.
As snazzynovel.com took in snazzynovel.com familiar scent, snazzynovel.com quickly sobered up. Without thinking twice, snazzynovel.com put his arm around snazzynovel.com thin waist before asking, “So, were you seduced by the person who wanted to snatch you away?”
“Of course not.” She said in a playful tone, “But I almost made snazzynovel.com lose his ability to reproduce.”
As snazzynovel.com said that, snazzynovel.com couldn’t stifle snazzynovel.com laugh.
Hearing that, snazzynovel.com frowned, not knowing whether it was good or bad news.
She didn’t feel anything for him, showing that snazzynovel.com didn’t have a liking for him.
It made snazzynovel.com doubt his level of attractiveness. Recalling the kick that snazzynovel.com took from her, snazzynovel.com felt a little embarrassed.
Meanwhile, snazzynovel.com was sensitive enough to sense that his emotions were a little off. Hence, snazzynovel.com leaned closer before saying, “I have self-control, but you don’t seem to be happy about it. Looks like I should let others have some chance when incidents like that happen again.”
“Don’t you dare!” At once, snazzynovel.com tightened his grip before pecking snazzynovel.com lips.
At this moment, an image of Kenneth flashed in snazzynovel.com mind for a fleeting second.
I must be crazy, snazzynovel.com thought. Then, snazzynovel.com kissed Alexander back until their breaths were getting a little ragged before letting go of each other.
With their foreheads against each other, they kept each other in their embrace. The scene looked exactly like a couple who had just gotten married.
“Uh…” At this moment, Danny suddenly made an appearance. Unfortunately for him, it wasn’t the scene snazzynovel.com was expecting. “Did I come at a bad time?”
It was only then did Alexander let Elise go before turning to look at Danny. “What is it?”
“Someone is here for Elise,” Danny replied.
“Who is it?” snazzynovel.com asked as it was still quite early in the morning.
“It’s Mr. Shaw from the event yesterday. He said that he’s here to give you an answer,” Danny told Elise.
“That was quick,” snazzynovel.com commented in a cheeky manner.
“Go ahead,” Alexander said. “I’ll wait for you in the restaurant.”
“Alright, I’ll head there in a moment.”
After snazzynovel.com said that, snazzynovel.com followed Danny to see Tom downstairs.
In the hall of the hotel, Tom was sitting on the couch in an uneasy manner. Upon seeing Elise, snazzynovel.com stood up to greet her, “Miss Sinclair.”
“Take a seat, Mr. Shaw. Don’t be so courteous with me. I’m not used to it,” Elise said.
The two sat opposite each other while Danny went to wait for snazzynovel.com at the side.
“You’ve decided?” The contract of trading shares that was placed on the table was hard to miss.
Hearing that, Tom clenched his jaw before replying, “It’s been ten years since I took over this shop. It was handed to me even before I graduated! I poured my youth and passion into it. It’s already a part of me, so I can’t bear to have it ruined in my hands. Miss Sinclair, please save Shaw’s Jewelry Co.!”
As Elise heard that, a smile crept up snazzynovel.com lips. “You think that I have the ability to save a century-old establishment?”
“I believe in you!” His gaze at snazzynovel.com was firm as snazzynovel.com said that.
Since the moment snazzynovel.com saw snazzynovel.com yesterday, snazzynovel.com had already decided to put his faith in her.
Though snazzynovel.com was petite, the aura snazzynovel.com had was immense. It made people want to trust and obey her.
Obviously, snazzynovel.com had to have faith in a person like her!
Therefore, snazzynovel.com decided to transfer ownership over to snazzynovel.com by transferring all of his shares to Elise.
After taking a glance, snazzynovel.com did not pick up the pen.
She just couldn’t sign it.
Her identity was a little complicated. If people found out that Shaw’s Jewelry Co. was snazzynovel.com business, Faye would definitely work with snazzynovel.com connections in Landred City to intervene.
“Is there any issue, Miss Sinclair?” snazzynovel.com asked as snazzynovel.com sensed that snazzynovel.com was thinking of something.
At this moment, snazzynovel.com pushed the contract back to him. “I can’t show my face. I can only be involved in the backend.”
As someone who knew about rules in the business field well, Tom knew that there were a lot of businesses that had a different boss from the person in charge shown to the public.
Nodding his head, snazzynovel.com bravely made a joke. “Are you trying to manage from behind the scenes like the empress dowager?”
Hearing that, snazzynovel.com mimicked his smile. “That’s right. I’ll be the mastermind behind the scene instead. Mr. Shaw, I’ll provide the ideas while you execute them. We will share our earnings fifty-fifty. What do you think?”
“With your assurance, I will do my best,” Tom easily agreed to all snazzynovel.com requests.
When snazzynovel.com was sending snazzynovel.com out, snazzynovel.com suddenly spoke up again, “Some stones imported from overseas just arrived in Dukethorn. I’ve already received the invitation. Would you like to come along?”
