Semua Bab Love in Twilight: Bab 1441 - Bab 1450

Ned gave her a flirtatious smile.Something magnetic in his eyes lured one in—he was obviously a master at attracting women.“Where’s the apartment you’re going to view? I’ll take you there,” he said.Cassandra didn’t answer him. She focused on her food, and accidentally ate a spicy pepper. It made her mouth burn—perhaps that was also why she had tears in her eyes.Ned took a bite of the pineapple pizza and said, “You have pretty good taste; this isn’t half bad. Looks like I should have more of this from now on.”Cassandra continued ignoring him.The meal cost a total of seventy dollars. Ned paid the bill.“Well, it’s not too expensive. I suppose I won’t have any problems if you have to depend on me,” he said.He was the very picture of a player who’d flirt with any woman he came across. Once he’d proven his charisma and animal magnetism, he’d dump his current target and move on to the next one. He treated women like they were items of clothing.Still, it seemed every woman he

Ned was smoking while leaning against the bedroom door frame. He looked especially handsome as he stared at Cassandra with narrowed eyes. It was no wonder countless women threw themselves at him despite knowing he wouldn’t stay with them—he was like a drug.Cassandra hated it.“I’m not his girlfriend!” she spat.Gordon looked at Ned awkwardly.Ned smiled and said nonchalantly, “You shouldn’t have said so many things. She’s angry now.”Gordon quickly said, “Yes, yes, I should’ve watched my words. Plenty of women are waiting in line for you to be with them, President Lawrence.”Cassandra didn’t want this apartment anymore.“I have appointments with other developers to view units there, so I’ll decide after viewing those. Buying an apartment isn’t something to be trifled with, after all,” she said.“So I brought you here for nothing?” Ned looked a little aggrieved.It wasn’t as if she had begged him to take her here. Besides, she didn’t like Gordon running his mouth, and she didn

Cassandra couldn’t help feeling down. Ned was too good at reading others—he could guess what one was thinking with just one look.She got into the car. As she reached for the seatbelt, Ned said, “So what did you see?”When she heard this, she made a gesture to get out of the car since she wasn’t buckled in yet.“I’m joking! Don’t go.” He grabbed her hand almost reflexively and smiled gently, looking harmless.In this instant, Cassandra saw the tenderness players like Ned rarely showed.Things were only precious when they were rare—Ned’s gentle smile was something precious.She reached for the seatbelt again and buckled it.They headed to the laboratory.After dropping her off, Ned left. Cassandra continued working on her experiment.She only left the laboratory and headed home after having dinner at the cafeteria.However, when she got home, she saw that the lock on her room door had been smashed to pieces. The room was in a mess.Her blood boiled.“What the hell is this?!”

“Gordon’s still saving the apartment for you. Do you want to check it out?” Ned asked nonchalantly.“I’ll head over to sign the contract one day, but I don’t want the discount. Just sell it to me at full price. Also, I’ll pay it off upfront.” Cassandra didn’t want to let the apartment slip, but she also didn’t want to owe Ned any favors.“Rich, aren’t we?” Ned said, “I’ll call Gordon and have him reserve it for you.”Since Cassandra didn’t want to have anything more to do with him, he wouldn’t flatter himself into thinking she was playing hard to get. Still, it was rare for him to come across a woman who refused his advances so adamantly. His desire to win her over only grew stronger.As he called Gordon, he watched her eat a pineapple slice. Her fingers were long and slender; she had obviously been raised in a comfortable environment. She didn’t have any accessories on, but her hands looked all the better without them.No one would be able to tell such an obedient, innocent-looki

“Who is it?” Annie mumbled. She stumbled over to the door.Ned was at the door.He had his hands in his pockets and looked relaxed.Annie stared at him for a moment before recalling who he was.“President…President Lawrence? What are you doing here?” Her head spun.“Where is she?” Ned frowned slightly when he saw her so drunk.“Who?” Annie struggled to get her words out. “Cassandra? She’s asleep.”“Honestly, why’d you two get so drunk?” Ned walked into the living room and saw Cassandra asleep on the sofa.Without saying another word, he swept her into his arms and took her to the bedroom.When Annie saw the sofa was unoccupied, she flopped onto it and immediately fell asleep.After putting Cassandra on the bed, Ned sat down beside her and appraised her. She was beautiful, with her delicate features and rosy lips. Her eyes drew him in when they were open, and their magic wasn’t affected by the fact that her eyes were closed. Just looking at her made him start to burn up.Desp
