“Don’t be so cold, darling. I’m very rich, I’ve got plenty of money. I’m definitely richer than your boyfriend.”“So leave him and be with me.”The man’s heated gaze lingered on Margaret as he spoke with complete confidence. Margaret struggled to free herself, then quickly moved away from the chaotic scene.She understood clearly that once he had said that much, he was no longer in control of his behavior. Arguing with a drunk was nothing but foolish.“Honey, don’t go. Whatever amount you want, I can give it to you.”“Spend one night with me, I’ll give you a hundred thousand dollars, how about that?”Seeing Margaret walk farther away, nearly out of sight, the man shouted loudly to draw attention. Even amid the deafening music, his voice still carried, successfully attracting the gazes of several patrons in the bar.At this point, not reacting would be foolish.Margaret stopped, turned around, and signaled for the bodyguards who had been lurking at a distance to step forward. Then, jus

“Don’t move, or I’ll shoot your friend.”Seeing Emily, pale with shock, about to rush forward to save her, the man in black let out a cold laugh. The icy barrel of the gun was pressed straight against Margaret’s forehead, forcing Emily to stop in her tracks at once.Margaret couldn’t stop herself from trembling slightly. What on earth was happening?She swallowed unconsciously, lowering her voice in an attempt to negotiate.“Hey, who exactly hired you to come here?”“How much did that person pay you? I can give you double, just let me go.”Emily’s eyes lit up, and she immediately followed along.“That’s right, we have plenty of money. If you let my friend go, we can give you double, triple, or even ten times the amount.”A cold, mocking laugh escaped the man in black. His voice turned harsh.“Shut up. Do you think money can solve everything?”He pointed the gun straight at Margaret’s throat.“Say one more word, and I’ll make sure you can never open your mouth again for the rest of you

Margaret awkwardly averted her gaze, pretending she hadn’t heard anything.“Margaret...”The sudden silence made Christopher let out an unconscious sigh.“I know you heard that.”Margaret continued to ignore him, though a faint blush crept onto her face. For the first time, she didn’t coldly refute him when he brought up marrying her.“Okay, darling. If you don’t want to, then forget it.”“Let’s just consider that I didn't say anything.”Christopher murmured helplessly.Ding.The elevator doors opened, and Margaret rushed out immediately. She was afraid that if she stayed even a second longer, Christopher would notice the flush on her cheeks.As soon as she stepped out, she saw Christopher’s henchmen already there. They were restraining the assassin from earlier, silently waiting for Margaret and Christopher to arrive.“Knock on the door.”“Or better yet, break it down and go in.”Christopher calmly pulled Margaret slightly behind him to avoid any trouble, then spoke coldly. His hench

She bit her lip, pretending to be fierce.“But you’d better show some sincerity. I won’t agree that easily.”She puffed her cheeks slightly as she looked at him, making Christopher let out a soft, gentle laugh. Joy spread uncontrollably in his chest, his heart beating faster and faster.“Alright. I promise I’ll make you satisfied.”Christopher leaned down, closing the distance between them as he made that promise. His warm breath brushed against Margaret’s delicate face, making her flustered step back.“We... we should go ahead.”A deep blush spread all the way to her ears as she stammered. Christopher didn’t push her, only chuckled softly and agreed.The two continued walking forward. This time, however, they were no longer keeping their distance but walking much closer side by side.Christopher’s hand reached out, naturally intertwining with Margaret’s. The gentle warmth from his touch traveled straight to her heart, leaving it tingling.A quiet sweetness lingered in the air.Christ

Margaret’s eyes widened, her breathing catching in her throat. Her mind went blank. She wanted to struggle, but her limbs refused to obey her.In the end, the force of the shove was too strong. Margaret closed her eyes, resigning herself to fate.Then. Before she could fall into the swimming pool, a burning warmth wrapped around her waist as a strong hand pulled her into an embrace.The familiar scent of mint lingered around her, the heat of his body against hers making Margaret freeze in a daze.One second.Two seconds.Slowly, she opened her eyes, only to meet Christopher’s gentle gaze. His hand rested firmly on her waist, and the distance between them was dangerously close.Thump. Thump.Margaret’s heart unconsciously began to race faster.“Are you alright? Have you calmed down yet?”Christopher asked softly when he noticed she was still stunned. Margaret pressed her lips together absentmindedly and nodded, instinctively holding onto him to steady herself.Then, remembering there
