The Tycoon's Leading Lady의 모든 챕터: 챕터 21 - 챕터 25

KAYLAThe food in front of me looks so tempting, with its colorful plating and delicious smell. Normally, I would already be halfway done with my meal, but right now, I barely have the energy to eat. I’ve completely lost my appetite. I can’t focus on anything else, not even the conversation around me. My mind is stuck on one single thought–the idea that Corvin might know I’m here.I checked the contract, but I must have missed the part where it mentioned that this resort is owned by Marlowe International. I should have considered the possibility. I know what their company does. They own and operate resorts, hotels, and other luxurious properties around the world. It makes sense, yet somehow, I overlooked it.Now I can’t stop wondering.Could he be the reason I’m here?Could he be the one who chose me to be the face of the brand?It’s been weeks since the last time we saw each other, yet he still occupies every empty space in my mind. No matter how hard I try to push him away, he alway

KAYLAMy feet felt as if they were glued to the floor, heavy and stubborn, refusing to take even a single step closer to the man sitting at the table. My body was at war with itself; my mind told me to run, but my insides ached for the very touch I was trying to forget.

Is he the reason I was chosen as the brand ambassador for this resort?Suddenly, I had a desperate urge to cover his eyes or force him to look away. His stare was like a flame, making me melt where I stood. I didn't know what message he wa

KAYLA“Corvin…” I called out, my voice coming out thin and breathless.Having him this close to me felt like being pulled into a different dimension. It was as if the world around us had blurred into salt air, leaving only the two of us behind. Being near him made me feel a thousand different things at once–fear, longing, and a desperate, aching reminder of the passionate night we had shared.I could feel my heart beating rapidly inside my chest. It felt like a trapped bird, fighting to get out of its ribcage, desperate to be set free. The closer he stepped, the wilder my pulse became. I could feel the radiating warmth of his body and catch the scent of his expensive perfume. It was intoxicating, making my head spin and my knees feel weak.“It can’t happen again,” I managed to say, though the words felt like a lie even as they left my lips.I wanted to turn and run. I wanted to be as far away from him as possible because being in this close proximity pushed me toward a cliff. He made
