Chapter 668

作者: Andrea North
Lorraine paused slightly and looked up, meeting Alex's half-smiling gaze. Her heart gave a small jolt.

Faye was always saying that Lorraine's personality was too blunt and unrefined, that it would be hard for her to find a good man. Men, Faye claimed, preferred gentleness.

Lorraine had shot back, "Mom, you're so calculating. Then, why does Dad like you?"

That usually ended the conversation. Faye would fall silent, looking wounded.

Only later did Lorraine understand. Her parents' marriage had been a business arrangement.

Faye had been lucky. She met Damian, and Damian treated her well. In that sense, her life had been lucky. Compared to her own temperament, Faye's personality was far more difficult to tolerate.

Yet in Damian's eyes, Lorraine was still an excellent daughter.

In Seraphine's world, they were each other's only true best friend.

And now, in the eyes of a man she had only met three or four times, she was said to be excellent.

Lorraine smiled at once, her impression o

    Seraphine shook her head. A cold glint flickered in her eyes as she sat in her swivel chair, slender fingers tapping lightly against the desk. She appeared thoughtful. Now was not the right time."Not for the moment. If a man like him fails once, he will definitely try again. There's no need to post anything online. It wouldn't affect him much. "He married into his wife's family, and the person he fears most is his wife. On top of that, Victor's wife is a capable, strong-willed businesswoman. If she learns about his filthy behavior, she won't let him off."If this were taken to the Internet, given Stephen and Victor's relationship, no media outlet would dare report it anyway.Valerie frowned, still uneasy. "Seraphine, but what if Mrs. Marcellis chooses to ignore it in order to protect Victor's pride and the family's reputation? If she does nothing and traces the information back to us, it could backfire."Seraphine had considered that possibility as well. From what she knew of Gi

    Lorraine instantly felt Alex's strong, rapid heartbeat.Alex hadn't expected it either. He had only wanted to shift his posture, yet somehow managed to trip her. The timing was absurdly perfect, perfect enough to make his heart bloom with delight.Lorraine had fallen straight into his arms. The faint scent of magnolia wrapped around his senses, slipping into every breath he took."Sorry," he said, his voice coming out slightly hoarse.Lorraine's face flushed as she hurried to pull herself out of his embrace. But as she braced herself to stand, her hand pressed down on the most vulnerable part of his body.Alex let out a low groan, his body tensing instantly. Sensation surged like a broken dam, heat flooding through him and desire flaring without warning. His eyes darkened, tinged with unmistakable heat.He lowered his gaze and looked at the culprit, who was now utterly flustered.That single sound left Lorraine at a loss for where to put her eyes. She froze, then grew even more

    Lorraine lived alone.Faye was nagging by nature, the typical sharp-tongued busybody with a soft heart. Even though Faye meant no harm, Lorraine still found her exhausting.Especially lately, when Faye had been pushing her into blind dates every single day. She hadn't realized how many bizarre men existed until she actually went on those dates.Her place was not far from Seraphine's. When they reached the building downstairs, Alex pulled over and parked by the road.As Lorraine opened the car door, a blast of cold air rushed in, making her instinctively hunch her shoulders. She heard the driver's door open as well. Alex stepped out of the car.She looked at him. The moment he emerged from the vehicle, an inexplicable charm washed over her, stirring something in her chest.She was about to ask why he got out too, then stopped herself. After all, he had driven her home.Alex walked up to her. Seeing her shiver in the cold, he quickly took off his suit jacket and draped it over h

    Lorraine froze for a moment. Alex looked different from usual. His gaze was intense, as if he might devour her, yet there was another emotion layered beneath it that left her unsettled.She grew nervous and spoke softly, "Then, what kind of repayment do you want? Tell me. As long as it's something I can do, I'll make it up to you."Alex studied her slightly flustered face. Did he not look appetizing enough? Why did Lorraine look as if he were about to eat her alive?So many women had told him that just looking at him made them want to sleep with him. Had they all been lying?A sly smile crossed his face. His fingers gently lifted Lorraine's chin. In his deep, alluring eyes flickered an emotion she couldn't decipher.With a teasing tone, he said, "Ms. Gosling, I haven't decided yet. When I do, I'll tell you. You can owe me for now."Alex strode forward, his back straight and imposing.Lorraine stared blankly at his retreating figure.Broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long leg

    Elliott quickly turned off the stove. Seeing that Seraphine was barefoot, he walked over at once. "Don't panic. Slow down and tell me what happened."Seraphine put the call on speaker so he could hear. "Eli, listen. Lorraine ran into danger while she was on the phone with me."Muffled sobs still came through the line. Seraphine was on the verge of tears herself.She suddenly remembered what Lorraine had mentioned earlier. Alex had also been at the banquet. He was closer and could reach Lorraine more quickly."Eli, Alex is there, too. Call him right now…"Before she could finish, a man's cry of pain sounded from the other end of the call."Damn it! Who gave you the nerve to touch her?"That was followed by frantic pleas for mercy.Elliott frowned. "Sera, don't worry. That's Alex's voice."Immediately after, Alex's anxious voice came through, "Lorraine, talk to me. Are you hurt anywhere?"Lorraine had been drinking a little and stepped outside the banquet hall to get some air.
